Many thanks

[@daviddebiasi2316]

I appreciate your authenticity and willingness to go the extra mile acknowledging at times you’re beating a dead horse for our sake. I’m an advanced intermediate and I definitely learned to see strumming and a bar with greater clarity.

[@RizHallowes]

Thank You! Great to know you got something out of it while being further down the learning track.

[@mariadelcarmenmartinez1937]

Great video well done, Looking forward to the advanced rhythm lesson .. Thanks

[@RizHallowes]

@@raymobbs732 thank you, coming soon!

[@TXprimeFishing13]

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.

[@RizHallowes]

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I was actually the same as you in that it came to me. When I began teaching years ago i put together this lesson in response to the questions and problems students always seemed to be having.

[@TXprimeFishing13]

[@GodsStoryteller]

You a a gifted teacher. Subscribed. Looking to have a strum pattern that incorporates fast and slow in a song, where the chorus change d.

[@RizHallowes]

@@GodsStoryteller thank you very much. Yep I'm going to keep putting out more and more advanced strumming vids until people say "enough, we're all brilliant now!"

[@michaelkneale3825]

Best strumming video I have seen so far, Thanks

[@RizHallowes]

Thank you!

[@TorrentFiend10]

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.

[@liberalsrmentallyflawed3611]

Where many are slow to get the understanding for rythum guitar. You were in the same place, with a band instrument when you first started..

[@LLewis-vu9qf]

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. 😊

[@RizHallowes]

Thank you! Hope it helped you

[@paulmcnamara9296]

Great video. Just subscribed. Do I need to use a metronome or not when practicing

[@RizHallowes]

It would probably help but not necessary if you are pretty good at staying in time. They are a nice way of measuring your progress though as you speed up. It would probably be useful for you if you grab one and use it, even if not all the time

[@stevendavls2109]

Can you please teach me the double chop strumming as in Elvis's One Night with you?? That would be awesome thanks

[@RizHallowes]

@@stevendavls2109 I'll have to look that one up, see what I can do

1-2-3-4. Comment for the algo…😊

Dude that was my job. 😂

@@christophers9095 🤣teaching strumming or the algo?

[@Upuia-c4n]

What is algo . Please explain

[@liberalsrmentallyflawed3611]

So, for the total beginner. 1,2,3,4.. is the beat, feel, pulse of a song. The one you nod or clap or tap your foot to when you hear a piece of music..

[@RizHallowes]

@@liberalsrmentallyflawed3611 yep that's right. As an example think of a techno doof song. The doof is on 1 2 3 4

[@mithuchandra3599]

Thank you very much sir, pl send stumming on 3/4 time and others

Coming soon!

Your intro theme reminds me of Better Call Saul intro for some reason ? > kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHTRf6CFj7Oaqqs

😆I guess so. It has that same lazy thing going on. Bwukooomaaaate!

Use your metronomes people

Awesome suggestion, wish I'd put that in the vid
