Pop in F — strumming pattern
A strumming pattern applied to the F, C, Dm, Am progression, to build right-hand consistency independently of the chord changes.
Tips
Isolate the strumming pattern on a single held chord first, before applying it across the full progression.
Understanding this type of exercise
C-G-Am-Em with an even strum
The same pop loop, with a strumming pattern that never stops — even during a chord change. The picking hand keeps swinging through the air (ghost strums) while the fretting hand catches up. Accent beats 2 and 4.
