Another you can try to add a different feel to these strumming patterns is
to accent certain beats. When we accent a beat, we are just strumming a
little bit harder, or we are strumming the unaccented beats a little softer.
For this third strumming pattern, I typically strum the 1st and 2nd beat
a little bit harder than the other beats. However, I encourage you to
experiment with these three strumming patterns and see what you
come up with. There is not always a hard and fast right or wrong way
to strum a song.

Once you're feeling comfortable, you can try adding a chord change for
this third strumming pattern.
TIPS:Want to take your rhythm to another level?
One really great way to practice your strumming is to use a metronome.
A metronome does not lie so it will force you to practice developing a
solid and consistent sense of rhythm.
