[@larrypeoples8375]

Guitar Pilgrim any tips on how to strum a solo?

[@nyacoustics8373]

Probably the best strumming video online. The video has tons of great tips and the ways the videos are edited with examples like the robot arm is top notch.

[@Neuren123]

Agreed

[@alexisdimas4299]

Dude, I love you. You keep it funny and simple ... exactly as learning should always be !!!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thank you for that Dimas, I am glad you liked the video, Cheers!

[@johancoes6984]

Spot on man, I love him to, maybe not as much as you but he got me on Hookers “Boom Boom” and his pleasant personality. Wish he taught us Black Betty, the Ram Jam version, there’s little of that around on the internet. Oh yeah, I’m Proud he’s Dutch.

[@ivancara]

This acoustic guitar sound is amazing!

[@francescominutillo5364]

So many guitar teachers on the net but Every now and then you come across a gem. Love your style and the great lessons. I can relate to the guitar God that comes up to you after your first gig or two and tells you how bad you are - it happened to me. That incident intimidated me for quite a long time. There will always be someone in the audience probably more accomplished than you. Keep up the great lessons.

[@Guitarbuffet]

you blend cool jokes, tricks and essential lecture very very well.

[@justinsears6309]

Hi. Seen 2 of your vids now. Both excellent and really highly recommended. Please keep them coming, especially anything aimed at promoting as you do, a thoughtful though relaxed attitude. I am a little more advanced player, but I still found a couple of gems, points I tend to overlook. Thanks for cluing me back into essentials.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks for your kind comment Justin, much appreciated! I 'm working hard at the next video at the moment, i'm sure you're like it, stay tuned! Cheers!

[@mbjorge1743]

The first words you said are so true. Then when you look tutorials up on KZbin their is never a strumming pattern.

[@kelboy5097]

[@GuitarPilgrim]

[@maryfredriksz]

Thank you for this fantastic lesson.

[@jeancadic2241]

The first video that tells the real basics to play guitar. In a minute, you have sown exactly the way for strumming, with a perfection in your movements. Congratulations man! PS: What about a video for solos to tell very movements up and down regarding the notes on the beat or not and the way to play quarter notes( when bending notes) I think you understand me !

[@jimjoiner]

Best tutorial ever on my weakest subject. Thank you!

[@16112071]

Thanks again for an informative easy to follow video!

[@johntenhave1]

Great teaching video. I learnt a great deal!

[@AMustieles]

Great video! The best to learn strumming in youtube. Thanks.

[@soslow67]

The best strumming lesson I've seen on KZbin... and I've seen a lot of them. Thank you. I know now where I was screwing up

[@soslow67]

Would you mind if I shared this with the Facebook guitar group I'm in?

[@GuitarPilgrim]

That's perfectly fine!

[@drakified]

Great summary man! I know most of these patterns already, but still you've provided lots of good practical tips. Perfect for beginners. Keep the videos coming, good stuff.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks man, i appreciate that, have a great weekend!

[@chrisnigul]

This is just GOLD!

[@johnnyz9927]

This has got to be the best lesson I have gotten . This is really going to help me get out of the rut I have been in for Soo long.. Thanks.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

You're welcome Johnny, I am glad the video helped, that's why I created it! so that hopefully someone will get something out of it! Lot's of luck with your practice, All the best!

[@q36spacemodulator]

Great help, this video shows where I'm going wrong and fixes for the aspect of guitar I find hardest.

[@frohe4u]

I just had to subscribe to this chanell. I mean I was looking for this kind of lessons for more than a year. Thank you so much for these lessons. This particular lesson is pure gold. It has just ''unlocked'' me. Would you be so kind and do some lessons on muting (left and right hand) and rakes and this kind of stuff? Recetly I watched your epic blues solo (perfect as any other lesson on your channel) where you are talking about that hendrix muting technique. Thank you!

[@chandir7752]

1:51 I did not know this until you said it and it's so important damn

[@DeltaLimaBR]

Best teacher ever!

[@mdanasmusic]

Your awesome dude, I like your style, cool but smart too.

[@pumpituppowell]

Production so good it looks like banking tv commercial

[@alfredolimeiradeniemeyerne7850]

Apesar de não dominar o idioma inglês, mas, fica fácil entender por suas explicações e principalmente belo sotaque irlandês. Muito obrigado pelos ensinamentos. Although it does not dominate the English language, but, it is easy to understand by its explanations and mainly beautiful Irish accent. Thank you for the teachings.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Obrigado amigo! saudações da Irlanda!

[@joshig7158]

I started watching one video and subscribed immediately! You deserve so much more recognition and subscribers. You teach guitar very well and have a really good tone. Good job keep up the good work 😁

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hi Josh, thanks for taking the time to comment, I am glad you enjoyed the video, best to you!

[@sapelesteve]

Awesome video! As a begining player, this helped out quite a bit. Tryging to change chords quickly enough is still the most difficult thing for me to do, plus those strumming patterns. Thanks for this lesson............. :)

[@GuitarPilgrim]

You're welcome brother, just remember not to look at your strumming, don't think about any single strum. The key is to keep strumming when doing your chord changes, making sure that there's no gap! Best to you!

[@nechastivi3187]

Best quote: "feel strumming"

[@giovannitrentin1680]

Hi Guitar Pilgrim love your videos! What about country strumming tutorial? Johnny cash in particular…

[@kozzak80]

Really useful. Like your humour :-)

[@lubojel8]

really great lessons.... thx and keep going :-)

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks Lubos, I am glad you like the videos! Best to you!

[@theroadrunners7703]

So excellent. I was slightly distracted though, because I kept thinking, Holy Krap, this is amazing video and audio quality! Also, I have been playing quite awhile, and I don't mute the low E string with my thumb on open chords?, Duh, maybe I should be doing that. Loving your work cowboy.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks for that Greg, I am glad you liked the video, Best to you!

[@patrickanderson8208]

Simply awesome!!! Thanks!!!!!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

You're welcome Patrick! Best to you!

[@warrenleclerc849]

[@geoffleach5390]

Light bulb moment 😀

[@lucau7486]

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thank you Luca, I am glad you liked it! Cheers!

[@ashleyedwards1542]

I am the Awkward robot guitar player 😅 by the way this video was great! Highly entertaining :)

[@joseernestodelgadillo5859]

Pequeños detalles qué hacen grandes diferencias y se traduce a la vez en la manera correcta de tocar una nota o una melodía. Gracias. ✌️

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Eres bienvenido Jose saludos desde Irlanda!

[@graemethorne4540]

Thanks funny when you think you have been playing the patterns right,then you discover for years you have been doing it wrong.haha. Cheers Pilgrim.

[@kch279]

Awesome!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

You're most welcome Kelly, thank you for taking the time to comment! Best to you!

[@mikezikfogg510]

Here´s the best tip on strumming pattern. If you can´t figure them out yourself, sell your guitar, it will only be a waste of time. But love your videos Pilgrim, maybe do a Randy Rhoads.

[@joseandkris]

Pls do more videos on rhythm and strumming :)

[@MilanTucek78]

Very well, thank You! 😉👍

[@mbjorge1743]

what are the names of the chords you are using

[@disemq]

G and C mostly.. and Am

[@johnnybx3254]

Going to give it a go! Thanks 👍

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Let me know how it goes, John!

[@JustieCrustie]

Can somebody please tell me the strumming for 'Something' by the Beatles. I'm a beginner & know the chord progressions but I can't do the strum. Thankyou kindly. ✌

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hi J J , for Something by the beatles, I would play down-down-down-down-up (straight pattern) it's nice to do a bit of improvisation in the strumming but if you're new to the song or playing guitar, that pattern should work fine :)

[@JustieCrustie]

@@GuitarPilgrim Thankyou very much for your advice, wasn't expecting an answer from the teacher himself!!. I will give it a go. Bpm on the metronome?...although I'm finding it a little tricky to master too. ✌from London.

[@dahley23]

Top videos :D blijf zo doorgaan !

[@GuitarPilgrim]

dank je wel!

[@fatihtilev8503]

you are the best!

[@ahmedfadl620]

Realy awesome tips 👍

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks ahmed, i am glad you liked it! Best to you!

[@LifeDigitized]

Thank you for your video's. I have the original Martin DX1 guitar. Love the sound! Question: When you setup your guitar what was the height you set your low E at the 12th fret. David

[@buzbrinig198]

You are sooo good and cool :)

[@abashedstorm]

You make guitar lotta practical for me Please make a lesson on most common progressions.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

That's a good idea, I'll think about that one!

[@abashedstorm]

@@GuitarPilgrim thanks 😁

[@davidpourri]

thanks a lot, really very helpful !

[@GuitarPilgrim]

You're welcome David, I am glad you liked it! Best to you!

[@santanubiswas1389]

Thank you..

[@andreliando031281]

You forgot the metallica pattern, all DOWNSTROKES 😂

[@TheKeef98]

What about muting B chord?

[@ingo7789]

Danke du hilfst mir sehr 👍

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hallo ingo, danke schon das du meine video macht, vielle grusse aus ierlande!

[@john2759]

Thanks

[@andrewmcp7563]

My fingerstyle playing is 'good' enough that I can fool folk into thinking I can play a bit now. But my dirty little secret has always been that my strumming is terrible. However, after watching this I feel like I finally know why my strumming's so bad! I think I'm going to watching this video rather a lot over the next few weeks as I work on my technique. Thanks for the education.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hi Andrew, thanks for taking the time to comment, I am glad to hear the video helped! Best to you!

[@cryptosiastic1778]

hallo! als je, bijv drie akkoorden in 1 strumming pattern hebt ,moet je dan ook de open snaren laten klinken?

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hoi, het maakt niet uit, welke akkoorden noch de hoeveelheid. Dat is iets wat altijd moet gebeuren, maar als je gewoon oefent gebeurt dat (bij de meeste mensen) automatisch. Soms kan je welleens een vinger laten staan of verschuiven van akkoord naar akkoord dat is dan natuurlijk ook prima om te doen :)

[@afarro]

Good tutorial. Revisited.

[@tfx195]

Would you mute the low E string in every strumming pattern or just this special one? (except E and Em)

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hi Pascal, absolutely. It doesn't matter what pattern, on all basic chords except E and Em type of chords :)

[@delandrews2929]

Nice easy going lesson.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks Del, i am glad you liked it! Best to you!

[@tonocastellanos7855]

PLEASE TEACH US HO TO PLAY F CHORD

[@GuitarPilgrim]

That's a good suggestion, maybe I will do a video on that!

[@bill1021b]

Good stuff

[@justanotherviewer531]

why EVERY ONE assumes that an absolute beginner knows how to properly hold a pick and the correct angle of it when strumming ups and downs?I've seen hundreds of tutorials but nobody breaks down this issue.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Whenever I had simple chord charts of songs I already recognize, the patterns just come instinctively. I bought a Martin sigma and tried to teach myself for a few months. I then took lessons to learn blues, my teach asked me who taught me Travis picking? I had picked it up naturally. I still haven't read music since high school, and only know basic blues pentatonics. But everything else I just picked up by ear. I had always though this was typical after hearing all my heroes talk of their beginnings.

[@andrewbintang4591]

nice vid, but i did managed to make a square with my right hand and a circle with my left hand at the same though 😂😂

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Haha, for how long though? You must be an ace guitarist!

[@andrewbintang4591]

Guitar Pilgrim lol i can't play guitar worth shit, but i'm a drummer and ambidextrous so that might've helped :) i don't have much problems with these kinda things in general.

[@ExplorerfromSikkim]
