Update... So I took a video of me trying to play part of the intro for Mountain Music by Alabama. It's not as loud on the video because I wasn't using a pick to strum. In my opinion I never did like using a pick when playing because I don't like how it feels and it makes some of the strumming strings louder and overpowers the other ones.  Now in the video I am nowhere near perfect with it, but it is a fast tempo song to play to.   Right off the start you will hear that beating sound and nothing playing, well that is because in the song the artist is singing and nothing is playing. I didn't beat as long as the actual song because it does it for a while, but you get the idea of it.... maybe:)
Strumming away... Out of all the songs to pick for guitar, I picked a fast strumming one:( It is a really good song but once I pick up the speed to make it sound better and change chords at the same time, I can hear the tone and pattern change too. I haven't really practice much with the guitar this week but I will try and get a video of me playing it and going over the chords for you. I might explain the strumming of it too if I don't get confused telling how to do it!

Learning the chords... All the chords up above are the ones I need to know for the song. I know E, A, D, and G already but never used Bm before. I don't see it as a problem because its almost like a C chord pattern but moved to a different spot. I looked up patterns for this song and tried some of them...unfortunately I didn't record me trying to new stuff out yet. But I will begin recording of what I learned and will learn for you all.
