Thanks for a lot of great info!!! For me, I find it easier to just feel and hear my way through rhythm and strumming instead of thinking Up/Downs. At the moment I’m at the Intermediate Level and the way I’m learning is so much easier than focusing on when I’m supposed to be going Up or Down while strumming. I know everyone learns in different ways so whatever works best for each person. Also, I might add that I played the Drums for many years before learning Guitar so that helps with Rhythm too.

You are hands down the best beginners guitar teacher here on TY. I've watched all of your theory courses, and I know which notes and chords sound good together, but I don't know why. There maybe no answer to the why. Maybe they just do. Do you use or follow a book, and if you do could you share it with us?
@RizHallowesАй бұрын
Humbled an honored, thank you! I don't follow a book, it's just decades of teaching and playing. I think you'll find a point down the line where it all clicks into place and you just simply 'understand it'. At that point books will just be repeating to you what you already know.

Perhaps I had an advantage because I was in band as a trumpet player and drummer since 5th grade...... But if you can't intuitively feel a strumming pattern without having to be taught how to strum the rhythm you hear...... I kind of feel like you have no business playing guitar because there are much larger problems with your feel of music in general that will always plague you. This is probably a biased opinion because without a doubt all of that band experience in my past makes things like this not a problem. I'm able to naturally feel the music where maybe not everyone else is able to the way I do...... But something like strumming a pattern you hear is mostly a natural instinct sort of thing most musicians should be able to feel and very accurately mimic. If you can't then you are not a musician. The primary thing you need for strumming is how many beats do you hold each chord usually. Slightly more advanced things like up strums or Ghost notes etcetera is also a thing you should be able to feel or hear so you can easily and intuitively copy. Watched this out of curiosity and I'm happy to say luckily nothing mentioned in this article are any problems I have with my playing.

I find it annoying to the max that hitting D D U U D U D seems sooo much more difficult (for me) than skipping the Up strokes. 🙄 I did finally get it, sort of, but it took me a LOT longer than I thought it should have. And still working on it to make it more consistent and fluid. A REALLY informative video, especially the 16th time strum. 😊
