Good ! We need more for beginners. To much out there for advanced players. As compared to beginners.

I'm a big fan of the bass note -> strum. Gives my fretting fingers time to move to the next chord.

[@LoogNation]

This is a great beginner video. Root strumming is so important to learn right away to help players master string awareness. Thank you Marty. BTW love the new look! 🎉

Strumming seems to come naturally to me. I never really had to work on it.

[@mmccartney6579]

With a pick, or fingers, or both?

[@jogmas12]

@@mmccartney6579 I like the pick. I’m just too lazy to even use my fingers and i know its going to require the same amount of dexterity that requires me to fret clearly and cleanly. Plus I achieve better tone with a pick, and I have become some sort of an expert while using a pick to achieve some amazing results.
