I was wondering if anyone had a strumming pattern or any helpful hints for "redemption song" by Bob Marley?
Learn from the man himself. You can hear the strum throughout and see how he does it at various parts of the video.

I put this one up https://www.guitarnoise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17907&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a quite some time ago and on the last page there is a link to a video lesson including all strumming
Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!

I think Bob varies the patterns during the song, anyway a good starting point is playing dd/dd/dd/dd with slightly muted strings. Also use the fingers instead of a pick...
Otherwise you could play a fingepicked version of the song with a simple pimi patter (twice for each measure)
cheers

p.s. I enclose you the link to an excellent tutorial page where you can also find teh right chords for the song
