Can anyone tell me the strum pattern for "Take a back road" by Rodney Atkins? I'm very new to guitar and can't seem to find a blog on this strum pattern. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Bryan Smith

Not much strumming through the intro, verses go something like

D U D U D UM D UM D... UM D
D: Down
U: Up
DM: Down/Muted
UM: Up/Muted

Hope this isn't to messy, it should work as a reference. It's syncopated by the way so if you tap the pulse against the song you'll see that the stress (downstrokes) rarely falls on the beat.
