Now let's put it all together with an A chord and a D chord. We'll use the strumming pattern from last page in measure 1 and 2, then use the strumming pattern from page 3 when we hit the D in measure 3, and the same pattern in measure 4. 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.
