Or with everyone so obsessed about wondering what the storming pattern is on a particular song You can really make any song sound good with a simple serving patterns used in this technique done right. Thank you for this valuable lesson

  • I must express my gratitude. I have been playing for over 20 years, albeit with some breaks. Despite my efforts, my performance was lacking. Many people commented that I was not in rhythm, but I believed I was playing accurately. The issue was resolved by a simple trick involving an egg. It made me realize what was amiss—I was consistently lagging behind where I should have been.

    Your exercise has greatly aided me in identifying and resolving the problem. Thank you once again. You achieved what several teachers were unable to discern and communicate to me.
    Thank you again.

  • Not had any problems getting the rhythm of strum patterns but whenever I'm strumming <56 string chords it just effs up, digs into the strings etc and cant do it fast/in rhythm, can strum fine on like open G or E or whatever but strumming open D is just terrible, catching the strings etc

  • 1 down & no strum up
    2 down & up
    3 no strum down & up
    4 down & no strum up
    Repeat
    Please include count in future lessons.
    Thank you!

  • Interesting. I'm a long time player. Recently I've been really working on my rhythm and right hand technique. I gotta try strumming with an egg in the hand.

  • Yes! I feel this! I do this weird and totally subconscious flourish on this strum pattern on the "and" or up after the 3rd down (I'm a beginner, so I hope that made sense). Anyhow, that flourish throws me off about 1/16 which adds up over the measures. I'm trying to be more aware and just keep the rhythm. Great tip!

  • Great video! I've played mostly lead my whole life. When I decided to get more into acoustic guitar I was very surprised how hard good strumming is…. This helped !
