So, if you find that it's going too fast for you, or you need extra help, I have a bunch of resources designed to help you. The song's in 3/4 time, meaning we have to count up to three over and over. Our strumming pattern reflects that: We do a downstroke on beat 1, down-up on beat 2, and a down-up on beat 3. The chord order is so simple, it's just eight measures. We work through the song, bit-by-bit and then glue it all together. Then we do the exact same thing for the key of A (using A, D and E chords) and that's it! I've kept this one short and sweet so you can get back to the party. See you next time! -James --- http://goodguitarist.com/learn-happy-...   / goodguitarist   #happybirthday #traditional #guitartutorial
