Thanks for the tips Pix!
I'll give it a try tonight
I assume listening to the song is the only way to tell the rhythm then yes? There is really no way to know jsut by reading the chords?

Topic: How do you read chord? (2 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hey everybody, I am new to playing guitar. It's been about 2-3 months and I am really loving it. I am confused as to to how to read the chords though.
I understand what the chord is and how to play each chord. I don't understand how I am supposed to know when to play the chord, or what type of strum to use. Do i strum on teh upbeat or downbeat?
Here's an example:
G C G D7
Hey, where did we go days when the rain came
G C G D7
Down in the ho llow playing a new game
Ok, so the fist chord is a G chord, how many times am i supposed to strum the G chord. Is it one strum of the G and then one strum of the C and then The G Nd then the D7 and repeat?
Does my question make sense? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
