are the first six notes (3,4,0,3,5,3) played using alternative picking? while the last two notes (5,5) are strummed? thanks for the help!

[taylordb]

This is just me, but I play them all using downstrokes, except sometimes I play the 3 (on the A string) twice with a quick strumming action (that might be considered an alternate pick method).
Using all downstrokes gives me the feel that that songs has.

do whatever feels right

I use alternate picking whenever two notes are played on the same string consecutively. But like everyone else said, do what you feel is comfortable.

[dmbguitar718]

all downstrokes.

it's semi strummed
