I think everyone that found out Move Forward Guitar is the person that found an oasis in a desert. While so many people on the internet teaching "party tricks" to sell actual music courses (specially in UA-cam). Chad just teaches us for free with some ads, that's just one of the most wholesome things I've ever saw online, I'm really thankful he was altruistic enough to do this, thanks chad, you're the best 💖
iam a self taught guitarist by watching random videos. I wish I had these 5 years ago. I never used metronome just learnt a lot of songs from letsplayguitar . I am really grateful for finding this. I realised I do not know counting and mess up hard strumming patterns. Things are really worse. Only if i had known this, things would have been very different. No one ever teaches this. thank you for this. I'm very grateful. I don't usually comment but this is coming from my heart. I swear I'll buy your course some day once I start earning
I wished Move Forward Guitar still uploaded his videos. They're so much in-depth and I can just imagine how much work they put into making these videos. Thank you so much
Without a doubt the best lesson on UA-cam . It's basically 6-8 paid sessions compacted into an hour of easy to follow theory and practice. Thanks so much
As a drummer and budding guitar player, I can say this is spot on training for learning to strum well. It is foundational to do it all in time to your foot, click, backing track or drummer. The right hand fluidity of motion is what makes the music sound musical. You're comment on how many beginners struggle with this one aspect is true. For some reason it is either not taught well or just skipped over hoping it comes by some magic but the best way as you showed here is to eliminate most of the left hands work and focus on the right hand motion and counting with all those patterns as exercises. Then it will all start to fall into place. One other thing I'll add is that it is not necessary or even desirable to play all strings on the upstroke. Only strike the first 2 or 3 strings only on the up strokes. Very well explained in this one hour lesson.
This by far is the BEST tutorial for beginners. These guys deserve a Grammy for teaching future music icons who happened to catch this video and absorbed a ton of knowledge. Thank you for putting this up for everyone to see and learn. Keep up the good work!
Just start playing guitar at 50 and came across with this video and definitely the best I’ve ever seen and the most comprehensive and I’m a slow learner Thanks very much
This was a great lesson! I am self taught at guitar and the first strumming pattern I learned became sorta engrained as my “go-to” no matter what I play, so a lot of my stuff ended up sounding the same no matter what progression I made. Amazing lesson!
First of all, thank you for by far the best guitar learning videos!!! My playing went forward and it's the first time ever that I'm actually playing the guitar. I am 40 years old now and for about 15 years I have been trying to get an answer to that very clear and yet difficult question, how to play the guitar? I have read thousands and watched thousands of videos, books, etc. Unbelievable video, you almost already have art. Let's play. I almost forgot, 10years learning, in one night
I appreciate the attention and effort you put in your strumming lesson. I woke at 2:30 am and couldn't sleep. I thought of listening to something on UA-cam and your video was the first thing I saw. I started to listen and did until it ended. Most of the time I was looking at the drawings to better understand. Thank you for awakening in me the desire to continue striving to learn how to play the guitar.
Even thriller movies I watched by skipping. But this 1:01:16 length..those who are eager to know will not skipp.. Thankyou bro. I hope you explain all the timings and meters this way..💕💕💕😍
A fantastic guitar lesson with lots great extras all neat and tidy and easy to understand, the best on the whole internet in my opinion and I’ve seen hundreds. Thank you so much. 🎶
I m 43 years old, just bought my first guitar and started learning on my own. Its been a few weeks now. I don't know if these chords are so common or you chose them "randomly", but they are the 4 chords from Alice in chains, nutshell, which inspired me to start learning guitar and the first song i try to learn.
Absolutely great! I play mostly arpegious with nylon strings...and a little classical recently got an acoustic with metal strings and this is exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely purchase the classes in the near future. Thank you!
This is the best beginner strumming tutorial I've seen yet. I went through the whole thing, and the patterns in the end sound really great. Thanks a lot !
This was such an EXCELLENT video. So worth sitting through it all the way through. I created a backing track in Garageband (basic 1 bar drum pattern that loops) and it's now my practice track. I find it so much better than a metronome. Confession: I find up-strums very difficult! Can't seem to get a hang of it.. but I'm not giving up. :)
It’s always a great time learning from this guy. So easy to comprehend, I’ve bought some of his courses already and I try to watch the ads to help him. Thank you so much!
i would fcking love to be able to buy something from him just to support this insanely great work thats here FOR FREE but his website has expired and he seems to be gone :(
1:16 the bottom note represents the TYPE of beat, you divide that number by 1 and get quarter beats. "what note gets the beat" sounds like what part of the bar it is.
Great video .... never seen this before slow and precise ... and true as per theory.. , now a can start imagining how different strumming patterns came from .., How the other time signature works? thank you for this video.!
Such a fabulous lesson.. it always frustrates me when i see people not teach the rhythm behind the strumming and just randomly talking about up and down strokes...
So cool I learned how to use and understand Metrodome finally and rhythm also I think this year that I’m going to get better on the guitar. I’ve been practicing for 12 years and I haven’t even got anywhere near what I did tonight. Thanks. I’m 76 and feel so good what I learned.😊
Thank you for this lesson. As I am absolute beginner and was struggling with strumming. It helped me to play my first strumming in rhythm. Keep making such informative helpful content for us. Thanks again for this.👍👍🙏🏻

SUPERB.Can you give us beginners some more tips?Thanks a lot.
Very generous soul!! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm for teaching guitar. God bless you!!

Speaking for myself of all the great guitar tutorials on UA-cam , the lessons on the channel are real instruction without a sales pitch.

This is one of the few guitar tutorials I've ever finished and enjoyed learning. This has increased my interest in playing guitar. Thank you!
2024 here I am too
Same sentiments
I have been watching different videos but none is like this. The best teacher ever very articulate and makes every step easy to learn and understand.

One of the most complete videos on UA-cam 👍. Thank you for taking time to share it with everyone 🙏

But this 1:01:16 length..those who are eager to know will not skipp..
Thankyou bro.
I hope you explain all the timings and meters this way..💕💕💕😍
Yes, really good stuff. Some of it might seem obvious, but for a beginner, this is pulling back the veil and revealing the new world
Looking forward to learn
omg this is exactly what i've been looking for man thank you !!!
This is what I've been looking for in a strumming lesson. Thank You for your hard work in putting this video together.

This video was spot-on!! One of the best on the net! I was picking it up very easy !! Love your teaching techniques 😊
Thank you so much for this lesson, I was looking for something like this how to count and strum when you skip the down strokes. Thanks again🙏
Absolutely great! I play mostly arpegious with nylon strings...and a little classical recently got an acoustic with metal strings and this is exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely purchase the classes in the near future. Thank you!
Superb video! Thoughtfully produced and perfectly paced.
You did an amazing job 👏
The best video ever, I am convinced that what makes it the best is humility.
You don't want to be known but you it to be known.
Thanks for great theory of guitar stamming 👌
This is the best beginner strumming tutorial I've seen yet. I went through the whole thing, and the patterns in the end sound really great. Thanks a lot !
Thank you ! This strumming tutorial is so well explained and easy to follow.
Thank you for patiently teach us all the strumming techniques, you’re a great teacher indeed.
This was such an EXCELLENT video. So worth sitting through it all the way through. I created a backing track in Garageband (basic 1 bar drum pattern that loops) and it's now my practice track.

Excellent video showing scientific, simple basis of strumming; well explained. Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏

By far the absolute best tutorial I've seen on YT! Thanks a ton. I've played way too long without learning this. You made it insanely easy!
What a brilliant lesson, from zero to mastering 1/8 note strumming, and of course the principals also apply to 1/16th notes too

@@Moveforwardguitar can you put timestamps in this video?
Excellent way of teaching with graphic and beat ,cleared all about the time scale and strumming, , Thanks ,God bless and prosper all your hands work.
1:16 the bottom note represents the TYPE of beat, you divide that number by 1 and get quarter beats. "what note gets the beat" sounds like what part of the bar it is.
The best video I had 3 lessons and this video put all together for me .
