For us old folks, the Eagles’ “Tequila Sunrise” is the one we need this for 😊. Thanks for the technique lesson!

[@sapelesteve]

Great lesson Justin! Another classic song that uses double strumming is "Tequila Sunrise" by the Eagles!

[@bridgetpollock6760]

I have been working on this for months because I want to play the Jam's "That's Entertainment" I think I finally got it. Great lesson.

[@KeithPhillips]

Wow this is a rarely discussed technique!

[@justinguitar]

Yep! And it sounds so cool!

[@andrewmaul2953]

Wow, I really appreciate this video. I've been struggling with this technique for quite a while -- it seems to pop up fairly frequently, but until now I'd never seen an instructional video offer more guidance than, basically, "try to do this". I really love your leave-no-stone-unturned approach to teaching, Justin!

[@marcosluna7792]

Justin is the GOAT

[@justinguitar]

Thanks, mate

[@DeelightFenua]

I've been playing guitar for 20+ years and I've always been struggling with this. Maybe because I played without a pick for years... or because I have a terrible sense of rythm 😅 I didn't know until now how this was called, which didn't help to find online tutorials on the subject. Thanks for this great lesson!

[@jalrox123]

Justin, you were the first KZbinr i watched to learn guitar back in 2013. Glad to see you keep going!

[@rachel3683]

OMG I NEVER KNEW I WOULD FIND THIS TECHNIQUE, I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW YUI DOES THAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@hohwong7672]

Thanks, Justin. I have been trying to learn this particular technique for a long, long time...but couldn't find anyone to explain it as succinct as you just did. All make sense to me now...what is left is to practice what you have just taught. Perhaps eventually against the click of a Metronome to bed in the timing. Bravo!

[@anduhlew]

Thank you!!! I’ve been trying to master this technique for so long but your tutorial has been the most thorough and helpful with the strumming pattern diagram! I will keep practicing until mastered 🙂 God bless 🙏🏼

[@EternalOvercomer]

I am super impressed at how you broke that down and explained it so clearly. You really helped wrap my brain around it. Thank you!!! 👏👏👏

[@aaron6a]

Thank you for this lesson Justin! I often saw my teacher doing this technique while he was performing, he would called it a Thirty-second note. I am also a guitar teacher myself so i can understand what he was talking about. I love the way how you explain it, it just make it easier and accessible for everyone, and thanks for the wrist technique! I think it is the key element to perform this well. I am reading the GuitarTechniques Dec issue, always enjoy your column "Food For Thought", cheers and have a great day.

[@joytormon7917]

I love that strumming make people more alive 😮😊❤🇭🇰👏👏

[@robertopullia2049]

Lezione strepitosa! Hai spiegato benissimo la meccanica del movimento e come inserirla nel ritmo.. ci stavo provando da mesi con scarsi risultati .. grazie mille!!! Complimenti.. Ciao

[@-itkindaworks-]

I've been looking a detailed explanation and name for the technique for years, thanks!

[@olderendirt]

It's helpful to see it written out because I was putting an extra up before the last part of 4 and it threw everything off. Thanks for lesson.

[@sudeshchandana8577]

Thank you sir..Your lessons are very clear. Keep teaching more lessons❤️

[@petrusbotha3641]

Just recently stumbled onto your channel, thank you so much for all the tips!! May you be blessed for sharing your skills and techniques!🙏🙌

[@warrenburroughs3025]

This technique is demonstrated very well by Dave Edmunds on his rhythm guitar parts (especially in the intro) on Nick Lowe's song Cruel to be Kind.

[@JTPMcC]

I got a guitar for Christmas in 2012 but didn't get proper lessons till 2013. I watched your Tequila Sunrise lesson. I've always wanted to learn that technique. But over the years I've had a few bad teachers thankfully I've a great guitar teacher now. I only brought up the song a couple of times but I thought I wasn't doing it right so I just played it without the framing. I can do the hammer one pretty well 😁😁

[@tontoninbas9496]

So precious course for me ! Thanks from France

[@WayneLongbottom-ze7vi]

Great tute and a subtle homage to Martin Rotsey of the Oils in the intro.

[@JamesVytas]

Fascinating to see the technique broken down so clearly.

[@A.ibrahimelsherif]

I have been following you for more than a year, and the purpose is to benefit from your style and methods of learning skills similar to the musical instrument that I play. It is an oriental instrument called the (Oud) After following up, I decided to learn guitar, and I am now learning for about a year because of you. 🙏

[@annie4971]

Thanks Justin this is one thing that I wanted to look at closely, finally someone has demoed it 🥰🥰

[@JustinTaylor1098]

I have to say I’ve never heard of this, looking forward to giving it a go. Cheers Justin

[@davidprice2111]

Thank you. I have been looking for this but didn’t know what term to search for

[@locationmarinadifiori8197]

Gorge what an excellent lesson!👌 Thanks so much Justin for your awesome vidéos! It's exactly what I need to learn the song Tequila Sunrise from the Eagles! 😅 Have a great WE !

[@KiwiMC99]

Really good video Justin, thanks. Looking forward to making some Jam sounds soon.

[@williamocallaghan5504]

Thanks Justin your Theory Course is Great

[@justinguitar]

Hey William - glad to hear that. Great updates coming soon for that course! Stay tuned. Cheers.

[@kromedge]

Been using this strum for years whenever I play Tequila Sunrise. I just never knew there was a name for it ☺️☺️☺️ Still a Great lesson though because it helped me clean it up!

Been struggling to perfect the rhythm for That's Entertainment for a while, but now I have the answe! Another great lesson, thanks Justin.

[@missandry5178]

I thought of the song as he was strumming. Can't wait to try it.

[@adaltroczguitar]

It couldn't have been better explained!! 👏👏🎸🎸

[@jasonkok1372]

Thank you Justin

[@sandrafowkes53]

Still struggle with the pick but love this strum! I’ll keep practicing 😅

[@kd_kissed]

Super Explantation! Do You have a Tipp for me how to get faster at this?

[@frank8303]

Thanks for the new tactic

[@urbanoramos5229]

Great lesson Justin the problem for me is keeping the pick in my hand with out flying 😅😅

[@garryames1824]

Thanks

Tonight, Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins has these little speed bursts. Been struggling with them for a while. I will try to apply these technics.

[@itguy8900]

Love this stuff thank you!!

[@PiotrBuczek]

A good song to practice it: Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm (though it's mostly based on downstrums)

[@John-fam]

Great lesson Justin! What about just strumming 16th pattern all way thru, with all downs on 1+2+3+4+, and the a being the only up strum?

[@zeyads.el-gendy4227]

Great lesson as always! Is it possible to get a great sound like that with fingerstyle strumming? Reminds a little of Spanish music

[@rumbatiger]

Great lesson Justin, I think there‘s a little mistake at 10:34 counting it should be 4+ with DU. Is that correct?!

[@greghamilton6979]

Never Talking To You Agin by Husker Du or Bigmouth Strikes Again by The Smiths would be great lessons to use this technique

[@francescolentini6520]

I think there is a mistake in the second pattern, in the last + I see "D" but I think you play "U". Anyway, thanks Justin! I really love your lesson

[@JordanLapping]

Great video! I often hear Pete Townshend doing this an awful lot too!

[@justinguitar]

Exactly! And he's awesome eh

[@JordanLapping]

I also remember you once referring to this as “double-time splang” 😂

[@islandasandy-joseph3104]

Hi love your lessons but i cannot hold down the string to get nice sound any tips help

[@jv2781]

in gonna leave you by qotsa you can hear this in between the chord changes in the verse for you qotsa fans

[@aarongraham7177]

How thin is your pick? A thin one for me is .46!

[@12419824]

How thick the pick should be? Any recommendation?

[@stephenmorley6548]

Hi Justin. So should this technique be used for referral 16th note strumming?

[@richellmcknight446]

Aside from just practice practice practice, do you have any suggestions to lock a rhythm into our brain that we find challenging? I learned to play so I can accompany myself when I sing, and I find it a challenge when the rhythm I'm playing is different that the lyrical rhythm or when I'm trying to use an unfamiliar rhythm where I have to concentrate on the guitar, and then try to sing too- my hand just automatically goes back to the familiar one, ugh! So frustrating!

[@quailstudios]

Don’t reply to that “telegram “ message.

[@christianjmyhre]

What if you wanted to double strum for 2 whole beats?

[@rhythmshivam]

🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@andrewross1934]

Do you have any advice for triple strums? There are a few funk guitarists who will be mostly strumming sixteenth notes but sometimes throw in some sixteenth note triplets. It sounds really cool, but when I try to do it I tend to lose the rhythm and it sounds less cool.

[@oldbladderhorn]

this is absolute learner ok but really too stupid simple.. how/maybe you try something really challenging! yes maybe try...let's think! ''yeah''... emulate that strum by Joni Mitchell the one she uses on her, both sides now tune just love you to attempt that tricky double strum (and I think its not double tracked either) it like two in the space of one. one is skinny thin pick strummed going down and the other up strummed Rasgueado brushed style by a finger behind the plectrum''. damn hard as it can get.. but very appropriate for the intro of that song just a perfect trick to fool the ear with the guitar capo'd and in an altered tuning. makes it almost invisible and very cleverly done by Joni. what learners need to be shown, is real tricks , that can be used and not spend or waste their time tricks should be pointed out so the student can(identify) learn to hear when a trick is employed or where to concentrate on technique. maybe it is good to be a copycat but must be an individual at the same time is, the goal.
