Multiple Pick Strokes

The next example uses a 5-stroke picking pattern. Use all downstrokes. This pattern uses 5 downstrokes over an 8-beat pattern. This leaves you the space of 3 beats to change chords.

The timing of the pattern looks like this:

'D' Power Chord: 'A' Power Chord:

Example 16 -- Five pick strokes over D / A Progression
