Lauren Bateman breaks down the pre-chorus and chorus of Four Non Blondes' "What's Up." The song repeats the same four chords (A, Bm, D, A) throughout, and she shows the exact strumming pattern beat by beat.

Hey, guitar enthusiasts. I'm going to show you quickly how to play the pre chorus and chorus of Four Non Blondes. What's up? This is a great song. It has a very, very strict chord Progression, which is 2A chords, 2B minor chords, 2D's, and 2A's. The entire song, it never changes. Now, the strumming pattern is a little bit intricate, so I'm going to go through it slowly here for you as slowly I can in a short video. So I have 1, 2, and 3, 4, and 1 and 2, and. And 4 and. So what does that mean? So it's down, down, up, down, down, up, down, up, down, up, up, down, up. So sou.
