Re: Strumming Pattern
that is something that has always been a hard one for me also, I just go with what feels good. playing along with a song on youtube helps, you can watch and see what the performer is doing. Maybe this will help also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UhdwnsckJ8

Re: Strumming Pattern
Welcome Amii,
It sounds like you are new to guitar, so we'll start there. Pick a song that you want to play and check for a lesson on youtube. For example let's look at Last Kiss by Pearl Jam.
Here is a vid lesson(from an awesome teacher I might add)

Strum we use is DDU UDU or 12& &4&. You would play this whole pattern for each chord.
DDU UDU DDU UDU DDU UDU DDU UDU
G Em C D
Here's another vid I found helpful:

Remember that there is no 1 strumming pattern that is correct for a given song. Variations are what make things cool.
Post back if you need more help
