What is the strumming symbol?
↑ and ↓ - the most basic component of a strumming pattern are the arrows showing the direction of your hand's movement. ↓ is for downstroke and ↑ is for an upstroke. But simple up- and down-strokes can be marked with additional symbols. Little X above the arrow means that it's muted.
