This next pattern is very similar to that in page 1, but we start out with a down and up strum instead of just the one down strum. The basic pattern looks like this:

Set your loop count to "Forever" and try to strum along. If it's a struggle, slow down the tempo and re-play it. If it feels good, include just the groove in the playback and play along with just the groove. Try increasing the tempo if everything's cool.
