Hi,  I've found lots of songs on here to have a go at - BUT, as a beginner, the simple chord names above the songs don't give me enough help with the correct strumming patterns to use.


I've been given a version of "Stairway to Heaven" (yes, I know...) but it has musical notation that helps me with the timing and strumming patterns, I've got much further with this than other songs that just have the chord symbols.


I know lots of the songs very well to listen to, but when I pick up the guitar, I don't know where to go.


Is it just a lack of experience? Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to get going on working out the correct strumming pattern for a song and give up in despair- advice please.
