New player needs some help

can anyone please tell me where I can find the strumming pattern to the first few cords to the song Dueling Banjos

Hey Tom,
It's just a downstroke, an upstroke, and another down stroke in G. Downstroke for the C, and then a downstroke in the G. If you're wondering about the rhythm part, that's just a boom chick pattern.

It's all covered here, we have it in the songs section.

If you need any more help, just let me know.

ok now please explanin what a boom chick pattern is I have tried this and it just doesnt sound right as far as me hearing it............

Hey Tom,
I think what may be throwing you, is the alternating bass when you go to the C chord. The boom chick strumming stuff is in the country courses, and there's more of it in the bluegrass lessons I have.

The bluegrass rhythm guitar tutorials are faster, but they show pretty much the same thing. They also feature the same thing using different tempos.

If this doesn't help you out, give me some more details, and I'll do what I can to help you.
