Andy's Strumming Course now with Interactive TAB ▶ www.andyguitar.co.uk/online-l...
In this video, we'll look at 5 super useful strumming patterns that progress from beginner to intermediate level. This can hopefully lead to a breakthrough in the strumming patterns you are capable of!
We'll also cover a suggested chord change to try with each strumming pattern. Remember, learning the pattern alone isn't much use, you need to be able to change chords while keeping the strumming going to the correct rhythm and feel - that's the trick!

Thank you! The tips about only hitting the low strings on the up stroke has literally just improved my guitar playing instantly

[@illyillyill]

Same here, like, He's the first person to mention this that i've seen on youtube.

[@guitarlovers5983]

Same with me bro

[@MooseLeader1]

I think he said to hit the high strings on the up?

[@GoodxJ]

@@MooseLeader1 the high strings that are low....lol as in lowest strings to the floor! 😁👍🏼

[@jenniferbyers1375]

Around 9:17 the pattern Andy actually played didn’t seem to fully match what’s on the screen. I think the screen version ends with “ D DU” when what’s being played is “ DU DU” - did anybody else notice that ?

[@imjasonmartin]

Thought so too. Luckily im not a beginner anymore, otherwise this could've been very frustrating haha.

[@you-vi2tm]

YES! I came to check the comments if anybody else noticed

[@misfitstranger]

indeed. was wondering that myself. didn't think I was imagining it

[@mtnguyen1696]

so which is correct? .. i did notice that .. what he said or what he wrote we should go by?

[@premsinghpoonmagar6766]

Yes man

[@TimHolman]

I love the way you broke these concepts down. Great production quality!

[@liamcoetzee8303]

Great one Andy I've been learning guitar during quarantine with only your courses and I've made amazing progress. Do you think you could do some tutorials on the greatest showman songs I know it's old but the songs are really cool.

[@simonmannick8389]

Big Thank You Andy for making things so simple and easy!!! Your the Man!!!!!

[@saniasingh4171]

Your videos help a lot, Andy! Thank you 😁

[@shezlacroix847]

Thanks Andy, your tutorials are great!

[@arshpreetkaur9]

Sometimes I feel those who can play guitar are some kind of wizards.

[@maitreyeepandey6373]

Yeah when you start learning guitar, you realise these things....😅😅😅

[@tiny5663]

[@underskillednunderpaid]

not even close haha. just practice. It’s cliche but the more you do something the better you get and the easier it becomes

[@MrCARLOSFINES]

I think I most agree lol

[@marceloboenosdesantos8043]

Dear Andy!!!! Perfect 👌 lesson 🎸. You are a great musician and a good teacher too. 😍 I lost my hope to play like this. But you gave me a great way to start a new game and how to play the right way to show everyone that I can play good - thanks to you. I really appreciate your patience and time for all. 😍Before I get this lesson I was D D D and now I'm U U U.... ☺️

I shall give this a go later, thanks for making this video Andy 👍

[@paschalisantoniou974]

Really helpful Andy, thanks a lot!

[@PeacepixysAlchemy09]

This was exactly what I was looking for to start with right now!!! Thank you! All the other ones tend to move into the next strum really fast and even though it might be what I can do at that moment... I want to build precision before going forward. This was a great help!

[@vazquezagustin]

[@chicorico70]

Nice work. I think for the pattern 4, you're playing four 16th notes at the end, not 8th followed by two 16ths. Helpful video!

[@lindalamont-reid1079]

Wonderful. Really helpful. Thank you.

[@MichaelJamesGallagherAuthor]

Great video. I am enrolled in your site and find art difficult to navigate without getting confused. I am making progress on things that I have always been doing wrong - too much noodling and no groove. Thanks for setting me straight. I hate to admit it but I have been playing with zero groove for almost 40 years.

[@humbleheartorgtv]

Thank you so much...I am a beginner. 😊 keep making videos.

[@pandemonium7617]

Love it !!

[@kaili1094]

I love the second pattern 2:46. sounds so good!!! hahaha, Thank you so much, Andy. 😀

[@DailyLifeStyle7]

Never enough to say thank you to you for your dedication for us. God bless you and your family forever amen.
