What is the strumming pattern for Because of You by Kelly Clarkson?

Answer 1

Its down down down up down.

But on the first two downs you palm mute it.

In case you don't know what palm mute is, its when you have the side on you hand across the string when you strum.

Remember this song is fast do practice it slowly before you do it faster.

Use the chords D, Em, G and A . Palms mutes down strums so it gives it that cool beat. Starting with D, do 3 down strums and as you switch to Em do an up strum, and then dudd.

Do an up strum as you're switching to G and after that same as before, dudd. And then do an up strum as you're switching to A and then you go duddudu (that last up is going back into the D). Then the parts of the chorus that goes "And when I got home, before I said amen, asking God if He, could play it again." The chords are Em, A, Em, D, G. Starting with Em dududududdu, A dudududdu, Em one d and let it ring for a sec and then two more then do a fast up strum in transition to D and do two fast down strokes, up stroke in transition to G and then dududu and then it's back to the same as the first part.
