But how do I avaoid wrist pain when guitar drumming? I think I'm starting to get an injury from that wrist kick...
I'm really into modern fingerstyle guitar and it will be a huge loss for me not to use it...

[@shaleensarthak7854]

@@auroranamex5886 hey it's been bout 5 years since i'm playing guitar percussions, and tbh, I haven't experienced such issues. maybe, the method of your kick is wrong. Try hitting the wrist a lol bit slowly and lowkey, so that you'll get a "decent" sound and it'll prevent injuries too!
Hope it helps.
Have a good day/night ahead! :)

I've watched a number of videos on percussion on acoustic guitar. This is by far the best I've seen, both in technique, as well as explaining it. Thanks.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks David, really glad it's helped you out.

I added some bar chordes and with muteing, playing only the downstrumm (muted), Great Beat, and then back to your pattons for the chorus..!! Changed my Game completely!!! Thanks!!!

I started doing this type of stuff on my own because I wanted to drum but it was too loud so I got a guitar as a kid and I ended up amazed with this style playing.

[@giovanniguzzo2911]

This is for me the most interesting lesson I had ever known.............. Thanks a lot.!!!1

[@danwilliams341]

Thanks man. I've been trying to add percussion to my playing for quite some time now, and haven't been able to quite get the timing down right. It realy clicked when you said which beats to play snare and bass.

[@carissastoneham]

This is exactly what i've been looking for thank you... lot's of practicing to do to get it fluent at it but I'm so happy 😁

[@shawnjbray]

Great tips man. I thank you

[@TrueBlueBoogie]

Chris, thank you for sharing your drum skills on this guiar lesson. These bring 4 styles add a whole new texture to acoustic performce! And you broke this technique down to the most basic components so that a non-drummer like me can follow it and use it. Man, I'm excited to take on this learning challenge and use it in my street performances. I know that my songs with this percussive style will be far more engaging for the listener. I'll follow up when I've successfully taken ownership - I'm a slow learner but once I have it, I own it. Cheers! : )

Thank you man! It took me a few days to actually get this down. Thanks man! I'm new to playing the guitar but really I'm already having fun playing with a bass and a little percussive sound as well. Thank you :)
