1. When you look at the top of top of the notation music (eg. Song Of Joy) the chords are written at the begging of the bar, the music is in 4/4 time so you'll strum at the beginning of the bar 4 times. At the moment we are not using any rhythm pattern so just make it \/ \/ \/ \/ (Down, Down, Down, Down).

You will play them on the notes, one guitarist will play the chords and another will play the melody (notes) but not both together.
