Hi,

I'm trying to play "Mrs. Robinson" (Simon & Garfunkel) but I have big problems with strumming. Is it possible that it's just UP & DOWN with the same time???
Is there a trick to "catch" right strumming for a song soon?
Eventually, does anybody know where to find a "tutorial" at same level of "beginners" and "intermediates" song on this site for "Mrs. Robinson"?

Thanks,
Giulio

If you're talking about doing a up and down strum in one beat. Then yes it's very possible. Strumming just takes practice to get it right. Just need to keep a steady beat and count to help you get the timing and rythmn right.

Here's a lesson on strumming:
