Hello, this is the way I strum "Ghosts" by Banners. Now, they don't actually do this in the real song. So I'm
just warning you that this is not going to be the actual thing that they play. But since I mostly play alone, it
gets a little empty, so I made this strumming up for it. I'll just try to describe how I strum throughout
the song.
So I do just a single strum for each chord in the first verse. During the first "here I am", I prefer to do
simple and continuous strums down. As for the rest of the song, I do a strum that hits E and A for a bit (or at
least tries to), then I do a full strum. It sounds like a difficult pattern to grasp, but that's because I'm
trying to explain it over a computer. But I say do what your heart desires for this song!
