How to strum any pattern to any song, naturally and easily!

[@sarasmothers1]

I Love your way of Explaining it & it makes sense & how important keeping a Good Rhythm.😊❤😊

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

I appreciate that!

[@rdegulielmo]

Sometimes it just takes a good teacher to point out something so simple, and so evident to make you have an a-ha moment. Years I been playing and in the first 7 minutes, my strumming actually sounds like something nice. Thank you!

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Love love love to hear that! Thanks.

[@quaregeg2750]

Excellent!

[@linastockley4544]

Interesting. I just came across this. I have played a guitar all my life and still do. My husband, too. In fact, he strums and plays better than me. Between us, we have several guitars, lol. I love your teaching and will practice more. subscribed too

[@rayburnhonea9405]

I have been around guitars in 1965, and this is NOT being taught to new players. This is also a great refresher course for old guys like me. Thank you so much for putting this together. This is an “Outstanding “ lesson. 🙏

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

I make sure I teach it to all my new players! Thanks Ray

[@tarared7668]

Omg, this man can strum with his fingers and sounds good❤

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Why thank you...

[@AlanNicholld]

Fantastic finaley a lesson on srumming instead of burning rubber on the fret board great lesson !!!!

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Thank you kindly!

[@stevecole6485]

There is no lesson more important than this very one. Not just for guitar, or rhythm, or strumming. ESPECIALLY for grooving to a rhythm with LEAD play. ANYBODY who picks up ANY musical instrument, THIS should be their very first lesson. For so many reasons. Thank you my friend. You’re doing Gods work brother.

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Thank you for that awesome comment.

Fascinating to see this little video heading towards 300K views. Fascinating to see how many people struggle with rhythm. Shocking to realize that I struggle with rhythm too😂. If you couple this video with instructions on how to synch foot tapping with counting of 16ths it will surge to 1M views!

I’ll do it!

I have been playing guitar for over 15 years now - self taught and musically inclined. This video is great! The bit about releasing pressure so you don’t actually have to take your fingers off the strings is a game changer. All these years, how did I not know that?! Great lesson, thanks so much!

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Happy to help!

[@edd4790]

I found this video by accident and it really crystallised something going on in my head in that when I strum I really have no idea what I’m doing and unless I really know the song it can easily sound nothing like what it is supposed to sound like. I especially don’t know when to change cord within whatever strumming pattern I am playing. This video is inspiring and gives me an idea of what to address - so thanks and I will look up more of your videos.

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Thank you so much! That's great to hear.

Been playing for many many years ( in my own space). I will never put down my original strumming style. Don't get me wrong, I have tried learning standard strumming patterns and never really got anywhere. At 2:16 of your video I instantly knew that this was the one . Thanks for taking your precious time, FREELY, to enlighten others. Your style of teaching suits my style of acquiring knowledge. Thanks again and keep rocking!!

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Thanks so much mate for such a great comment, I really appreciate it and I'm glad to have helped. (You made me go back and look at 2:16 on the video!)

Glad you liked it!

[@PurpleCows]

Just got my first guitar and I feel like this video will get me into good habits 🥰😍 thank you!!

[@dukerbower2228]

Only been playing since April, but I'm throwing this into the mix. Why do we strum with our right hand (speaking of right-handers) and do all the intricate fingerwork with our left hand? One would think it'd be the opposite. I don't draw or write or even open a jar with my left hand. The explanation I was given was simple: rhythm. A righthander attempting to throw with their left hand understands immediately. Rhythm --- for right-handers --- is in your right hand. When he says, "Just keep the rhythm, it should be natural", you find that in your right hand. And it makes ya sound better. Cool.

[@OneChartguitarlessons]

Good point about athletes. I never thought about the rhythm of throwing!

[@dominickbrophy4667]

[@wenzbee197]

This is so simple but so profound. THANK YOU.

[@TXprimeFishing13]

Thanks for the info and your time to explain thoroughly. I agree 100% when you said the Rhythm is more important than the Strumming Pattern 💪🏼 I’m at the intermediate level on acoustic guitar and not quite at that level yet on the electric guitar. I know everyone learns in their own way but for me I find it easier to NOT think about Up/Downs but rather just know the Chords and Progressions and then just Feel and Hear my way through those Chords and Progressions along with the Timing and just play and Enjoy. Again, my opinion, if I were to have taken the approach of mainly focusing in on Up/Downs then I probably would not even be playing the Guitar. I will say that I play the Drum Kit too so I’m sure that helps with my natural GOD given talents of playing and learning by feel and hearing. Hope that helps someone. Thanks

[@liberalsrmentallyflawed3611]

Lot's of honest and correct information. For it all to be true, it takes Lots of practice time. And for some people more time than others.
