How do i play it using that?
Thanks alot

Looks like it's showing the 4/4 rhythm.

the top line shows your right hand strum pattern for the song. The bottom line represents the time signature of the song for what to play during the song on time. If you still do not know how to play it, just listen to the song and strum along with the chords till you get it. Hope that helps :)
