----------------[Strumming Pattern]-----------------
 
  - 2 loops for intro & bridge, 4 for chorus
  - no strumming during verse/pre-chorus

                      * Note *
I prefer to always keep my ring finger on the 2nd
fret of the D string.
Think of it as a C chord shape if that helps.
You can also play the full intro on 1 guitar this way.
