I am trying to learn the song At your funeral by Saves the Day. I found a great video on youtube and I have the cords and what not but, I can't seem to figure out the strumming pattern.
 
For the first part she's just doing a downstrum on the first beat (but I suppose you knew that)

Then she's doing downstrums on beats 1 and 3

Then for the main song she's doing a straight up/down like this

Code:
v ^ V ^ v ^ V ^
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

The key is that the emphasis is on the 2 and 4. That's how she gets that feel.

Practice it without the upbeats first to get the feel of it, and then add them back in.
 
It's not consistent all throughout the song, but it sounds like D DUDUDU and them she mixes it with D DU UDU, always stressing the first down.
 
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I am going to try this right now!!!! I'm so excited!!
