[Strum Patterns?]

So I bought a book of Eagles Songs in the beginners section. The songs have the chords, but no where in the book does it give a strum pattern! Any suggestions on what to do?

I do the something with you tube - thanks for the encouragement, as they say misery loves company!  good luck and we'll keep on plucking away at it!! Maybe by next summer we will get to lesson 9!

That does help because I have been on lesson 7 since July also and recently pushed to 8. Thanks for the advice, I do try to bend the wrist, but when I do the index finger comes off the first string!  Also, when I take a rest from playing my elbow is so sore and tight to stretch out, I wonder if I'm using the wrong muscles?

On lesson 7 & 8 the fifth and sixth string barre chords, if it says C7 how do you know if it's a fifth or sixth string chord? 

My fingers are not particularly fat, but they only bend so much, how do I play a fifth string E7 without my third finger muting the third string?

Also when playing 5th string barre chords can your index finger touch the 6th string?
