Default When To Strum

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).

I understand how to play the cords, but when do I play them? Before the notes?
You will play them on the notes, one guitarist will play the chords and another will play the melody (notes) but not both together.
