I’m at a quite good level of guitar now but for some reason I just can’t get this strumming pattern down it’s not as simple at just down down up down up. Any tips ? Thanks
Thanks for checking out the lesson! It might be easier to think of the tune as a jig ie in 6/8 time. Think in terms of counting 1-2-3 1-2-3 Your first down strum is on the 1 and second down strum is on the 3 of the first count. Strum up-down-up on the second count. Repeat this pattern. Hope this is not too confusing!
Thank you for very well made lesson. You are right, it's great strumming pattern, good to adopt for many shanties etc. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you for your comments!
Love it. Looking forward to learning this one!
Great! Thanks for checking it!
I kinda learnt the chords need to remember the order now and the quick riff is nice to play and catchy. Thanks for sharing this.
