Chords by suuuupaadave
"Since this is bluegrass style, each chord is strummed in similar patterns. I've indicated below what the strum patterns are roughly below. It's much easier to listen to what he's doing, but this should get you started. Every time it goes from a G to a D, there's a little walk-up that happens as shown below. Listen to the song, keep practicing the timing and you'll get it. I'll probably do a video for this one at some point too, so stay tuned."
