For most people I teach, like 95%, this particular rhythm pattern comes off as very challenging. Making sure to tap your foot only the down beats, and really feeling and counting this rhythm as it's written can feel really weird for most people.
The pattern of 16th to 8th note is repeated over and over again, which lasts 3 full bars. The 4th bar is something different to break things up before the chord progression repeats, and the weirdness begins again. Here are two ways to look at the count for all 4 bars: 1e_a2_na_en_4e_a|1_na_en_3e_a4_na|_en_2e_a3_na_en_|1_na2en_3e_a4___ 1e(n)a2(e)na(3)en(a)4e(n)a|1(e)na(2)en(a)3e(n)a4(e)na|(1)en(a)2e(n)a3(e)na(4)en(a)|1(e)na2en(a)3e(n)a4(ena)

This rhythm pattern is something given to guitar students as an introduction to a more challenging rhythm. The basic idea is to keep strumming a 16th note, 8th note, and keep repeating that. This has you constantly changing your down and up strokes - down up ____ up down ____ down up ____ up down
To help make this concept easier to understand, you will be playing a quarter note on beat 4 for every bar. The count for each bar can be viewed in two ways: 1e_a2_na_en_4 1e(n)a2(e)na(3)en(a)4
