    6/29/23 update!
    I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for UA-cam. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
    Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free UA-cam Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
    And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on UA-cam.
    I do online lessons too. Email me : info@song-bike.com
    This beginner rhythm guitar video teaches the classic Boom-Chicka Strum Pattern. You can't play Americana, folk, country or bluegrass without this so master it asap ! The Boom-Chicka feel is found in so many rock songs; I like Friend Of The Devil by The Grateful Dead. It's simplicity makes it great for songwriting too. Memorize the pattern so you can keep your eyes on your hands. Go slowly. It's worth it!! Be patient and judge your progress in terms of weeks, not days. You can do it !!

    Hey Jonathan. This is one of the best videos I've seen yet on teaching a strum pattern. Especially for someone like me. I like how you kept it very slow. I am a 58 year old man learning the guitar for the first time. I do see a teacher once a week. Thank you. You have made me very happy. I might call you soon.!

    my 10 years old nephew can play some tunes by going to a classic guitar teacher. but I've always telling his mother she has to learn to play chords if she really wants to go on and having more fun with more stuff to play with also with friends. but I didn't know how convince her. and here I found you, showed her and I got it. now my nephew has a new proper guitar to start with, a new modern guitar teacher, and you as an english pc great second (but best for me) teacher for power chords and then more and more, I hope.. thanks man you're great and helped so many people mostly for free, mainly for passion. rare thing, nowadays. this is something even more important to teach to guys. best things in life, as love, are priceless. don't measure always life with money...

    Terrific, useful video. Great teaching style, with detailed, thoughtful explanations. Jonathan slowly, calmly, and methodically introduces new techniques, as he previews how they are applied to future mastery, as opposed to "look how fast I can play" format of many other online lesson providers.

      ua-cam.com/video/FVOr3rqGzp8/v-deo.html
      I think it will help explain some of what I'm doing at the end of this video. In general, when I'm playing G, C and D I do a lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs involving the 2nd fret of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings (G, D, and A strings.) I will definitely consider this topic for a future video!

    I loved this video- I'm always pausing and rewinding other tutorials because they go so fast (I'm a be...gin...ner) and I found myself laughing and actually enjoying this video because of the pacing and the anecdotes. That was fun! thanks & keep it up! :)

    I have been using this fingering on a G chord for 45 years, it is really a better way to play it when you see how easy it is to go to other chords ( less finger movement)
