Your going to pick the E string, (6 string) then strum the E chord.
Then pick the A string and strum the chord again. Going back and forth between 6 string strum, and 5th string strum again.

First pick the D string. Which is the 4th string. And then strum the D chord. Then pick the A chord and strum the D chord again.
