When reading chord flows online for guitar music, what is the strumming pattern if none is given?
There are an infinite number of rhythm strumming patterns that you could come up with — the trick is to come up with one that creates the right rhythm “groove” for the song you’re learning. What you might do is listen to the recording — listen to the drummer, the bass and the rhythm guitar — and play along with it and see if you can invent a strumming pattern that works. To be honest, I’m not sure what the difference is between a Gadd7 chord and either G7 or a Gmaj7. At the least, you could play a plain ol’ G major chord and leave out the added 7th.
