A little correction: Beat one is the strong beat, and beats 2 & 3 are weak beats. The "&s" of each beat are "off beats". Regardless, the beats are strummed down, while the off beats are strummed up.

One more tip: When deleting notes in a strum pattern like at 6:25 - you should fill the gaps with the notes that were at strum before. Because if playing a real guitar and strum, but not hitting every string, the "not hitted" strings, are still decaying from the strum before - although a little bit quieter.

To add on to this: A lot of people seem to make the chords too... "connected," like piano chords with a sustain pedal. This is a big part of the reason why a lot of these MIDI guitars sound like a keyboard, or "fake". What you need to picture in your head is a left hand on a guitar, changing chord shapes on the strings. So like in this example where there's one chord per measure, I want you to imagine that it would take a split second for this guy's fingers to change from the G to the D chord, which might be a 16th note or even just a 64th note "rest" from the time the first chord ends and then the next chord begins. If you put in just a brief little pause there at the end of the measure, without the pedal down or the notes ringing out, it gives your VST a chance to just play the release sample of the strings and it's going to make your chord changes sound a hell of a lot more natural. You also need to really emphasize your dynamic accents, which I'll admit is a little harder to explain in text but it's going to be more like: (G) ONE, and TWO, and THREE-and-a-FOUR, and (16th note stop) > (D) ONE, and TWO, and THREE-and-a-FOUR-e-and-a(16th note stop) > etc. You might want to put in some little variations in each measure to it isn't exactly the same pattern, or exactly the same dynamics every single time.

Great stuff here. It's a lot of work to make these instruments sound natural. Sometimes I just record my actual guitar. However, my nerve damage in my right hand doesn't help my playing. So, these techniques will help me to still realize my musings onto a track and eventually to my "fans". :) So, thank you for all of these cool tutorials! Keep it up!

Thanks for these tips. Respectfully, swing is not something that you just randomly add to create "realism." Some songs are swung, and others are not. Adding swing doesn't make a performance more "natural." It's simply a different feel that may or may not be appropriate for a given song.

Hi Ruben, been watching your videos for awhile now and really appreciate your instruction. One question I had was do “real guitar” players play rhythm this way, or would they kind of lightly strum or “ghost” all the non accented beats in a steady eighth note pattern? Hope this question makes sense. Thanks again.

Hi Jeff, I wanted to address that while making this video. But you're absolutely correct. We can keep adding more layers of realism to replicate the beautiful imperfections of a real performance, but that would likely be for a dedicated video on nuanced playing.
