How to Play the Right Strumming Pattern

[@eejaee123]

Out of every teacher on youtube I've looked at, none teach with as much patience and simplification as you do. You break down the parts, and step by step, you help us assemble them again. Thank you for uploading these videos.

[@TheJoshtheboss]

Finally the first person on KZbin giving fully comprehensive explanation of strumming and beats, including how to read, and vocalize it. Thank you!

[@karterstanley7460]

i know it is quite off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online?

[@susanneduerr4248]

I thought 'never too late', and started taking guitar lessons with 50. After finally memorising a few chords with quite some difficulties, I got so discouraged over the horrible sounds my strumming would produce. Watching videos, going through various instructions and taking more lessons didn't get me back to that joy after mastering the first chords. What a difference did 'How to Play the Right Strumming Pattern' make. I still have to continue to practise an awful lot, but it is fun again. Beside that, my play does not chase away the cat anymore. Thank you very much for helping me build such thorough basics, in an excellent way of teaching!

I started out long time ago playing classical fingerstyle, and recently decided to learn how to play bluegrass and rhythm style. This video really helped a lot with my strumming technique. Your fundamental approach to the timing and pick technique really helped bring a lot of things together for me. Thank you for it.

[@avk91]

By far the 'Best' video ever made on strumming...this covers 4 beat, 8 beat and 16 beat strumming and reducing strumming resistance besides other great tips. THANKS a MILLION!!!

[@charlespetit1872]

your video on strumming helped me immensely. I am a beginner. I watch it every chance I get now to help me get over to the next hurdle.

[@schopenhaur101]

The BEST 'strumming' lesson I have ever seen! Bravo. Clear & precise, you also have a very pleasant calm voice.

[@ss8400]

He is the most experienced and best teacher online. Going into the details of mechanism and methodological steps involved in improvement of guitar strumming. Experience counts. Rest most of youtube teachers teach and shows the link below to pay online. I don't know Sir's name..but Sir I am learning a lot from you. Your teachings are absolutely simple, process oriented and brilliant. God always bless you to give us such happiness. Sujoy from Kolkata.

[@tysonbowman8172]

wow! I don't even know how to play guitar. after watching this video, this true master was able to explain it in a way that I understand, and makes perfect sense. thank you! you have helped me make the decision to start playing guitar.

[@aceaamir1]

Best teaching and lesson on strumming pattern on KZbin , Thanks . keep up the good work , Lots of love from India ....

[@anitazuck]

love how you start from such a basic place...it's so easy to get ahead of oneself and never learn the fundamentals...your lesson prevents that. thanks!

[@tammygurl64]

I'm a very late bloomer with learning guitar and I've had my guitar for about a month now. I was just saying IF ONLY I could learn to strum properly and voila!... I found your video. Thanks for the tutorial. :D

[@carriegreer3325]

Thank you SOO much... this finally gave me the understanding of strumming of which I have struggled with for the last 6 months!

[@ashleyclark446]

Excellent lesson! I liked that there were pauses so I could keep up and practice. I'll definitely be rewatching this many times.

[@lomparti]

Thank you so much for explaining it this way. It makes so much more sense to get the 3 major timings down first then work on adding strumming patterns.

[@blackberrywhite7581]

You teach the fundamentals and basics like a pro yours lessons are very clear to understand. One of the best teachers on KZbin! Thank you 🙏

[@SzyMen]

I've seen a ton of various strumming lessons on youtube - without a doubt - yours is superior to all of them.

[@tashamar1117]

Thanks for this video. I have been struggling with the strumming. You make it look so easy. I now have a reference to practice with.

[@tomgreeves9248]

This is terrific. It made so much sense. I advanced a great way in just one viewing!

[@marcoantoniovillacerda6876]

Thanks for the video, I always have issues with the strumming pattern of a song. Now I can identify how the strumming pattern is form in different beat. Thanks man!

[@DieDooie]

interesting lesson. iv been playing for quite a while now (2 years) and not yet been able to proper break the different times 3:4 and such down thanks to your help im getting somewhere

[@erichobbs4042]

Really good lesson. I have been trying to move on to learning 16th note strumming for a few weeks now, and your lesson has really helped me a lot! Also major props for totally nailing the feel of a BBC open university lecture. :)

[@armisis]

Thank you so much! First Strumming video I've found that actually started making sense to me! Going to check out your webpage now. Thanks again!! It is greatly appreciated! (Just starting to learn at 40, and really have my heart set on doing it right and getting in as much practice as I possibly can!)

[@ryanbright7496]

This was very helpful. You are great.

[@bobosanasamom4523]

u r the best struming teacher ive evr seen on youtube... great tips

[@premasru]

I'm just beginning to learn my first instrument. . . the ukulele, but this was a fabulous and informative tutorial. Loved it!

[@m.barsgumusbas9689]

Your lessons are very helpful and to the point. You are a great teacher; thank you so much...

[@generalbarry]

If I may, holding onto the pick was, for me, just a matter of developing the finesse over time to control it. It just came down to playing every day, and within a couple of years, the problem eventually went away. In the mean time, one of the best things I have found is self-gripping athletic/bandage tape. You know the stretchy stuff the medics use to secure a gauze bandage? Just make one wrap around the fat end of the pick and leave the point exposed. That pick won't go anywhere.

[@IVANMARTE100]

Thank You, your methods and control is very much appreciated. It's a long time dream to play the guitar.

[@marcmanmg]

Thank u. Really good teaching. I've struggled with strumming. Now I know why after this great tutorial

[@jpaulsen10]

omw, ive been looking for someone to dumb down these 4/4 3/4 6/8 things for so long. Thank you very much, great help indeed

[@pjoc2004]

Excellent ! Nice and good teacher. Thank you.

[@cookeABC64]

Yes. It makes perfect sense to have the arrows pointing in the same direction as the strings if the arrows are on the TAB lines. So many variations on many points! You are right about needing to engage the left side of the brain though 😂 My teacher points the arrows down for down strokes. But then again his notation is slap dash; presumably in an attempt not to confuse me 😁 The arrows I’ve seen in my previous written study books have the arrows above the stave/TAB, so consequently they are down for down and up for up. But if they are on the TAB then it does make sense to have them go in the direction of the strings. I dont know why some people have reacted badly to this? Right sided brain freeze perhaps? 😂 Any way, the brain is more than capable of dealing with such issues, just apply simple logic. People shouldn’t get bogged down, or take a personal affront. Thank you for your time and patience in explaining these essential fundamentals 👍 Very useful!

[@susanleesymons]

Thanks for your help, I found your lessons very informative.

[@wizzilife1673]

[@coopwannabee8675]

Excellent...and Thanks! I feel I have a decent technique for some picking (though a relative newbie), but strumming has always been difficult for me. This helped a LOT!

[@redefiningsk8ing]

Best video on this subject! Thank you!

[@synchroscape1]

Hey Nick very fundamentally solid lesson and wish I had of seen it before I ever picked up a guitar-after a few hours practice vast improvement.Note to any newbies...Watch any "Eagles" farewell tour video and the camera shows them all strumming in unison-a vital key concept to accompaniment and harmonized sound. Thanks Nick-keep up with the great lessons Sir- Dave..

I really like the way you explain, nice accent by the way, greetings from sf bay area

[@rymixmaker7162]

It helped me a lot. I'm just a beginner for guitar playing and I found your lesson quite helpful. Will you please give me an advise because everytime that I'm playing guitar and trying to sing a song while strumming, looks like my strumming begins to be different and sway to the song that I'm singing.. How can I continue the right beat of strumming while singing? Thanks in advance and God bless..

[@ScrubPuppyOpinion]

Thank you for the video. It was very enlightening. Would be nice to find those strum patterns online where we could print them to paper. Nonetheless, I appreciate the effort and time you put into your video.

[@xa12yen]

You are the best thank you so much.

[@tonyjones1560]

Great lesson! Maybe I'm getting old but I'm more interested in being a good, groovin' rhythm guy than a soloing hero, and I figure that strumming is right up there with learning chords to make that happen?

[@airsetsuna1162]

Great teacher

[@jonnyvelazquex5691]

Thank you nsgt your the best.

[@neilrobinson7615]

Note for beginners. The names of the strings on the on screen tabs are incorrect. Starting from the bottom thick E string it should read E A D G B E. For some reason the video incorrectly shows E A D G A e.

[@arthurmurraypittsburgh3348]

Thank you!!! very helpful!!

[@robysunny6319]
