But how do I avaoid wrist pain when guitar drumming? I think I'm starting to get an injury from that wrist kick... I'm really into modern fingerstyle guitar and it will be a huge loss for me not to use it...

[@shaleensarthak7854]

@@auroranamex5886 hey it's been bout 5 years since i'm playing guitar percussions, and tbh, I haven't experienced such issues. maybe, the method of your kick is wrong. Try hitting the wrist a lol bit slowly and lowkey, so that you'll get a "decent" sound and it'll prevent injuries too! Hope it helps. Have a good day/night ahead! :)

[@likeaboss684]

Hi , I have a f cut guitar it doesn't produces such drum beats... any solution

I've watched a number of videos on percussion on acoustic guitar. This is by far the best I've seen, both in technique, as well as explaining it. Thanks.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks David, really glad it's helped you out.

I definitely agree... This was actually a good tutorial, not a showoff session with 2 minutes of explanation

Your guitar sounds so good with just single chord playing

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thank you

[@Focus_20SF]

Mine sounds like shit

[@arrtv3139]

@@Focus_20SF Hahahaha! Know the feeling. Keep practising! I'm trying to migrate from playing Metallica/Megadeth to playing more of this kind of thing. PS - try using electric guitar strings on your acoustic.

[@toxic-official]

@@arrtv3139 I definitely have to try this!!

[@womonhaidley6336]

May God bless you for teaching us. Thank you.

[@mauricepeluso247]

Finally something „easy“ to play with and get creative without anoying people! Great base to get a feeling for rhythem and strumming percussive.. AT THE SAME TIME!!!! I added some bar chordes and with muteing, playing only the downstrumm (muted), Great Beat, and then back to your pattons for the chorus..!! Changed my Game completely!!! Thanks!!!

[@abbeyeads9419]

Literally I watch so many tutorials and you are the best teacher! Also this is so fun to learn! Thank you!

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

I started doing this type of stuff on my own because I wanted to drum but it was too loud so I got a guitar as a kid and I ended up amazed with this style playing.

[@TQEVIDS]

Wow... instantly made so many songs more interesting, in my very limited repertoire. Thank you!

[@Effivera]

Thank you so much. Nice sound and amazing & clear instruction.

Such nice one sir.. Great talents exists...

[@TrueBlueBoogie]

Chris, thank you for sharing your drum skills on this guiar lesson. These bring 4 styles add a whole new texture to acoustic performce! And you broke this technique down to the most basic components so that a non-drummer like me can follow it and use it. Man, I'm excited to take on this learning challenge and use it in my street performances. I know that my songs with this percussive style will be far more engaging for the listener. I'll follow up when I've successfully taken ownership - I'm a slow learner but once I have it, I own it. Cheers! : )

[@giovanniguzzo2911]

thanks man this really helped me with adding more to my arsenal

[@andrewmcp7563]

Thanks for ruining my week. I've dabbled with my percussi-curious side, but had been happy to shelve it under 'I have enough mediocre techniques to improve already, thanks!' Then your video shows up in my suggestions list and two days later I've got a sore thumb, aching arm, and the dog's hiding in the kitchen away from the din I keep making. The guitar playing's not too bad, but the constant swearing when I get it wrong AGAIN is probably what's troubling her. On the bright side, when I stop trying to learn these patterns, playing 'normally' seems much easier. I may never be the guitar world's Keith Moon (unless I throw my guitar in a swimming pool) but by stretching myself I might just improve what I was doing already... or need wrist surgery. ;-)

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Hey Andrew, if you're walking around with an aching wrist and a sore thumb because of this lesson, then I'm very pleased. I too put off the percussive stuff for years, I was just never really all that excited by it. But I've found in recent years that a simple bass/snare can really do wonders to whatever you're playing. Thanks a lot for you comment.

[@JohanLouw]

Beautiful reply there Sir :)

[@samuel_77]

Bruuhh it's depended on how u practice...if u do these practices without any technique...then not only wrist ache whole ache ache will come😂😂😂😂😘😂
