Shawn Mendes- Stitches
Quick Easy Lesson by Adi Venkatesh!
Credits to Lets Play Guitar [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBl5sCJVHmnj_TZOYubd5cg]
for the strumming pattern
Strumming pattern for Verse 1:
Am: A ^^^
G: G ^^^
C: C ^^^
F: F ^^^
This basically means you play the root note of each chord, followed by three upstrokes, playing each chord.
Strumming Pattern for Pre Chorus:
Same as Verse 1
F: F ^^^
G: G ^^^
Am: A ^^^
Am: A ^^^
Strumming Pattern for Chorus:
Am: v^x^v^x^
G: v^x^v^x^
C: v^x^v^x^
F: v^x^v^x^
This basically means for each chord in the chorus you do an upstroke followed by a downstroke
and then a string slap, followed by an upstroke, downstroke, upstroke, string slap, and finally an
upstroke, and then switch chords and continue the same pattern.
If you need help understanding this or following the tempo, check out this link below:

Verse 2 Strumming Pattern:
Am: vvvvvvvv
G: vvvvvvvv
C: vvvvvvvv
F: vvvvvvvv
Make sure you palmmute all of this.
This basically means you play continuous downstrokes until the chord changes, listen to the song to
get a feel on how many downstrokes feels right for you to keep in time with Shawn's guitar.
Pre Chorus 2 Strumming Pattern:
F: vvvvvvvv
G: vvvvvvvv
Am: vvvvvvvv
Am: vvvvvvvv
Same pattern as Verse 2.
Repeat Chorus Strumming Pattern above for chorus 2.
Bridge Strumming Pattern:
Am: vvvvvvvv
G: vvvvvvvv
C: vvvvvvvv
F: vvvvvvvv
Make sure you palmmute all of this.
Repeat chorus strumming pattern till the end of the song!
And those are the strumming patterns!
