Here I actually don't normally play them. It's 2 beats per chord, so to start play 2 strums per chord. After you get that down try throwing in an upstrum in an appropriate place. think of a charactor as a time slot D is a down strum, U is an upstrum so if two beats is this, D---D--- I play this D---D-DU So strung together it looks like, D---D-DUD---D-DU but the D after the U is on a different chord.
