Strumming Pattern A simple, upbeat pattern works well for this song. Try a basic Down-Down-Up-Up-Down-Up (DDUUDU) pattern. Count: 1 (D) 2 (D) & (U) 3 (U) & (D) 4 (U) Play this pattern once per chord (or twice for chords held longer). Song Structure and Chord Progression The song has two main parts: the Spanish phrase ("Feliz Navidad...") and the English phrase ("I wanna wish you..."). Part A: Spanish Phrase (The Chorus) This section is very repetitive, making it easy to memorize! You will use A, D, and G. Strumming Example for Part A: (A) DDUUDU / (D) DDUUDU / (G) DDUUDU / (A) DDUUDU DDUUDU Part B: English Phrase (The Verse) This is where we'll incorporate the F chord. Full Song Flow Chorus: Part A (Spanish phrase) Chorus: Part A (Spanish phrase) Verse: Part B (English phrase) Verse: Part B (English phrase) Chorus: Part A (Spanish phrase) - Repeat until you're done! 🌟 Next Step Try playing along slowly with a recording of "Feliz Navidad" using your DDUUDU strumming pattern and the chord changes provided. #Chords #Guitarlesson #Music #christmas songs
