Top 5 Strumming Patterns for Acoustic Guitar (must know!)

[@zachnutland9041]

Thank you! The tips about only hitting the low strings on the up stroke has literally just improved my guitar playing instantly

[@illyillyill]

Same here, like, He's the first person to mention this that i've seen on youtube.

[@guitarlovers5983]

Same with me bro

[@MooseLeader1]

I think he said to hit the high strings on the up?

[@GoodxJ]

@@MooseLeader1 the high strings that are low....lol as in lowest strings to the floor! 😁👍🏼

[@SuaveKing-sw4ew]

[@jenniferbyers1375]

Around 9:17 the pattern Andy actually played didn’t seem to fully match what’s on the screen. I think the screen version ends with “ D DU” when what’s being played is “ DU DU” - did anybody else notice that ?

[@imjasonmartin]

Thought so too. Luckily im not a beginner anymore, otherwise this could've been very frustrating haha.

[@you-vi2tm]

YES! I came to check the comments if anybody else noticed

[@misfitstranger]

indeed. was wondering that myself. didn't think I was imagining it

[@mtnguyen1696]

so which is correct? .. i did notice that .. what he said or what he wrote we should go by?

[@premsinghpoonmagar6766]

Yes man

[@reisxhaferi9945]

Idk if you read these but I must say you are such an amazing person. Having the patience of making oversimplified tutorials is something. Thank u.

[@TimHolman]

I love the way you broke these concepts down. Great production quality!

[@debadityabagchi2249]

thaankssss!!!!! I am still a beginner who struggled with my guitar and kept it lying on the floor 5 years ago...Now I just picked it up again and when I got a little bored with learning chords, i came here... Wow!!

[@RichardKraneis]

This is my 9th month assignment foe learning guitar. Thanks Andy.

[@arshpreetkaur9]

Sometimes I feel those who can play guitar are some kind of wizards.

[@maitreyeepandey6373]

Yeah when you start learning guitar, you realise these things....😅😅😅

[@underskillednunderpaid]

not even close haha. just practice. It’s cliche but the more you do something the better you get and the easier it becomes

[@lloydbradly307]

Keeping the magic alive on the daily!

[@MrCARLOSFINES]

I think I most agree lol

[@donnakebabmat5413]

They say that learning on YT is hard, the trick they say, is to stick with the one tutor. Thanks mate, that's you.

[@kamratarun]

Hey Andy, on video 9:10, it seems you are playing DDDDU UD DUDU... while it shows DDDDU UD DDU... Thanks for the amazing video

[@emelersan729]

youre the best, you taught me something I tried to learn for years, TY TY Thank YOU !!!!!

[@chicorico70]

Nice work. I think for the pattern 4, you're playing four 16th notes at the end, not 8th followed by two 16ths. Helpful video!

[@NeverMars]

Thank you Andy!!! This video is really useful for mine!

[@liamcoetzee8303]

Great one Andy I've been learning guitar during quarantine with only your courses and I've made amazing progress. Do you think you could do some tutorials on the greatest showman songs I know it's old but the songs are really cool.

[@cj5214]

love to learn how to tap before learning the beat, thanks for showing tap and explanation

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

You legitimately just "fixed" my guitar playing. 😮 I'm staggered by just how obvious this all seems now.

[@MichaelJamesGallagherAuthor]

Great video. I am enrolled in your site and find art difficult to navigate without getting confused. I am making progress on things that I have always been doing wrong - too much noodling and no groove. Thanks for setting me straight. I hate to admit it but I have been playing with zero groove for almost 40 years.

[@pedrodebarros4949]

Thank you Andy am a 69 years old and my guitar playing improved with your tutorial videos and the book I purchased of your beginners tutorials

[@bjbaldomero6360]

Wow, you can actually differentiate good teachers from the others... Learned a lot. Thanks!

[@pamina04]

I'm still fumbling with chords but a really good strum pattern sure helps!

[@PeacepixysAlchemy09]

This was exactly what I was looking for to start with right now!!! Thank you! All the other ones tend to move into the next strum really fast and even though it might be what I can do at that moment... I want to build precision before going forward. This was a great help!

[@DailyLifeStyle7]

Never enough to say thank you to you for your dedication for us. God bless you and your family forever amen.

[@marceloboenosdesantos8043]

Dear Andy!!!! Perfect 👌 lesson 🎸. You are a great musician and a good teacher too. 😍 I lost my hope to play like this. But you gave me a great way to start a new game and how to play the right way to show everyone that I can play good - thanks to you. I really appreciate your patience and time for all. 😍Before I get this lesson I was D D D and now I'm U U U.... ☺️

[@liamdoes8580]

This is my favourite guitar channel solely because he looks like my jiu jitsu coach, great video as always

[@amysykes3227]

what if he actually is????

[@brianmillerthomas]

Andy, your graphic in pattern 4 is missing the penultimate 'up'! Apart from that...thank you!

[@lindamoore1108]

The 4th one is a killer for me! I had no trouble with the others.

[@baylagozlan3146]

Hi, i could follow for the first 2 patterns...on the 3 rd pattern on i wish you showed it slower before the change of chords😊

[@estherchukwuchetam5059]

Very useful, but the last two are🔥 quite challenging

[@kaili1094]

I love the second pattern 2:46. sounds so good!!! hahaha, Thank you so much, Andy. 😀

[@Icantdrive55]

I’ve sort of doing this all along with knowing it when I practice my cord shapes. Great practice tips. Thanks.

[@kritikaparajuli4418]

The dislikes are from those, who tried playing these, couldn’t do so, and got frustrated😭😂

[@sujalsunar8725]
