Music teacher here, always looking for new ways of teaching things. I love this!!

[@joemadsen7605]

After trying and failing to play the guitar, around 5 times over forty year period. I saw this video and had to try it. I could always make the chords, just struggle to make it musical. I have been playing and learning for 3 1/2 years now. In fact I feel comfortable enough to learn how to play the piano now. Thank you for filling my retirement years with music.

[@iniqu1tyv0rt3x6]

That guitar sounds so rich

[@edilcortes8452]

What guitar is that?

[@lookingforgg]

A small loan of a million dollars

[@VinceIsDatBitch]

I agree. It sounds like I can't afford it.

[@crypto-d415]

It’s a Martin d-28, not quite millions but it’ll cost you 3k!

instructions not clear egg broke inside my guitar

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Gotta hard boil it. Duh!

[@alsage9992]

The-Art-of-Guitar I literally thought that was the excercise and you'd have to not tear the egg but still touch. See I learnt guitar at Shaolin and that's one of the methods there.

[@luinily]

the empty strokes in strumming patterns have been a difficulty for me, that seems a good way to overcome it, I'll definitively try this.

[@karinag4982]

Hi , I don’t know if you still read these comments from older videos But since I’ve found your channel , you’ve helped me immensely with my progression with guitar and I feel more confident in my playing ever since . Thank you so much for these videos

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Hi Karina, that's awesome to hear! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

[@tsatsanisgreg]

Personally I use it for many years when playing as a street musician. It gives you a great percussive sound so, I recommend using it even if do not have struuming problems :)

[@garnetgun]

I always wondered what those eggs at the music store are for

[@megann1416]

thank you, this teggnique really helped me a lot.

[@FAYMprod]

really appreciate how thoughtful, professional, and patient your videos are. so many of the "beginner" vids on YT go way too fast and lack the supporting ideas and visual aids that help beginners learn

[@robertbrotherton2541]

I experimented with some other dairy products. The butter got too slippery and my glass of milk sloshed everywhere. Just stick to the egg... trust me on this.

[@mugbaby3069]

'other' dairy products...?

[@G.T_666]

I have been struggling to play guitar for years. Strumming is the reason I've quit so many times. It took me about 15 minutes of shaking to get this technique down. And I'm strumming so well... Thank you thank you for teaching. ♥

[@ZdenekJonas]

I must express my gratitude. I have been playing for over 20 years, albeit with some breaks. Despite my efforts, my performance was lacking. Many people commented that I was not in rhythm, but I believed I was playing accurately. The issue was resolved by a simple trick involving an egg. It made me realize what was amiss-I was consistently lagging behind where I should have been. Your exercise has greatly aided me in identifying and resolving the problem. Thank you once again. You achieved what several teachers were unable to discern and communicate to me. Thank you again.

[@jaerivus]

As someone who's been playing for years, adding a shaker to my strumming hand for added effect is a revelation! And it also happens I've recently been trying to teach someone chords/strumming on a ukulele, so double thanks for posting this insightful video. This just might make it click for her!

[@Mr.DerekReese]

That went over easy.

[@MatthewEverettGates]

That's a great tip. Non-stop pulse in the body, of the meters in your songs, is so important for good rhythm. Thanks for the great idea!

[@spotmfd9431]

great lesson. never heard of this before. As someone with no sense of rhythm this seems to help out.

[@utubehound69]

Brilliant teaching tool!

[@sour_dsl804]

This was great thanks! I had asked you about this a while ago. Great video!

[@frequentflyerj.drobertson2898]

A Good tip for beginners man. By keeping that strumming hand constantly moving it acts as a metronome. Helps your timing out immensely

[@tonyhughes747]

[@jbertrand5959]

[@raheem8635]

This is so helpful. I'm teaching my little cousin guitar (I'm no teacher, but I have the basics down) and this is a major problem area of his. Now, I'm going to try this with him. Peace and love mate!

[@hyalinamusic18]

I'm a drummer, bass player and guitarist. I don't really have any problems with my rhythm (other than sometimes I drag a little with walking bass lines) yet I'm still watching this. You've got so many great weird learning tips. Even though I don't need this, I still love it!

Hey :) I really enjoy your videos, they're all of high quality and relate sometimes to some "basic" stuff just like strumming which are definitely not basic at all when nobody is there to tell you "you're doing it wrong". These tricks are maybe the most important to handle when playing the guitar, before trying to go to far (because we all do that I think haha !). Thanks for your content !

Thank you so so much! Finally strumming feels natural to me 🥰 and my strumming overall sounds better now :)

Hey love your videos man you help with alot of issues from general beginner issues to all kinds of issues thank you

[@duncanthedonut2325]

I've been doing this for a while now, and I thought I was the only one. Albeit I did it so I can add more flavor to my music rather than proper pick technique, but still, it's a great trick! Great video man! You got your self a subscriber!

[@Le5Pau1]

I'm gonna lay off the egg puns. Been scrambling my brain to think of them but now i'm fried! Some were eggselent but others just boiled over, I felt like I was poaching for more. They were cracking at first but now it's no yolk...

[@eddt430]

[@mborel]

I'll have to give this a try, thanks! I really struggle with the rhythmic strumming patterns that skip certain beats, so I can see this as a good way to fix that.

[@rudolphbotha]

Great idea. Very excited to try this. Thanks 🤘🏽🥚🥚

[@dreamcoma2213]

Awesome idea, can't wait to try this.

You're pretty underrated, IMO. I will definitely try this out and recommend it to others.

[@TypeOneg]

The weight of the egg helps the muscle memory. Momentum is a good teacher eh?

[@BrettBolzenthal]

Brilliant! This is a tremendous lesson, learning new patterns. Or with everyone so obsessed about wondering what the storming pattern is on a particular song You can really make any song sound good with a simple serving patterns used in this technique done right. Thank you for this valuable lesson PS I'm off to find an egg shaker. Too bad Easter was over a month ago now.🐣

And bam 💥 I got it thanks to this video and your explanation thank you sooo much!! You Just opened up so many new doors for me 🙏🏻💗

They make egg shakers with a pick attached. I used to play with one like twenty years ago. I don't have amazing rhythm, so it was very helpful to me at that time.

Amazing that's why I signed up with you man 🤙🏾

[@troublingleaf]

That's a clever way to work up someone's rhythm, I used to do the bad strum, I didn't even realise that I could up stroke for the first few months of playing, but once I learned about strumming patterns from a magazine it took me next to no time to learn, alternate picking was a whole different story though!
