    nena I just feel the necessity to say that your diction is perfect, I'm not a native english speaker and it's really great to watch your videos and understand everything that you're saying. also thank you for this video, I'm a beginner and I learned how to play guitar by myself, so it was very helpful :)

    I think strumming is more important than chords and all that stuff and the main thing I follow your tutorials is because of your easiest strumming patterns. People actually go to guitar classes but because of pandemic, I literally learnt my first song in just 15 days. Its super beginner and I suggest you all to follow this channel. Thanks nena. You are like my sister😃😃

    another tip: while strumming, for eg: in the first strum pattern, you stop your hand after each first down, but you should keep moving it up and down. So: keep your hand moving up and down continuously, but hit the strings according to the strum pattern. This really helps and strumming seems more "flowy"

      I agree. My progress stagnated until I got to know about this tip. Only then I was able to strum more complex patterns while singing along.

    I started playing guitar in January and at first it was really hard to do strumming patterns and it sounded horrible hahah I was so frustrated but I just kept practicing and right now is easier, of course I’m not like super good at different techniques but I do some of them by memory, and I just remember how i started and realized that practice is everything.!
    And this video was very helpful even that I’m not like a super begginer.(but of course I still have a lot of things to learn)
    and thanks to you i have learned a lot, like palm muting and some picking(picking its really hard for me but im gonna keep practicing) and strumming patterns for my songs hahah

  • @sandpiper_
    @sandpiper_ 3 роки тому +5

    I don't ever follow along with provided strum patterns, I just sorta invent my own and what I think sounds right and it ends up fine. It's easier for me to do strumming patterns by ear and just sorta messing around.

    • @thebeachyblonde
      @thebeachyblonde 3 роки тому +2

      Okay so far this!!! This is sort of what I’m doing too- I was learning a few songs from Andy Guitar and I noticed that while I would start with the pattern, as the song progressed I found myself just strumming to the rhythm and what my “ear” thought was best, just going with the flow of the song. I didn’t know if that was technically like an OK thing to do lol, but it works for now I guess🤷‍♀️. I would consider myself pretty musically inclined - choir throughout school and piano lessons for 7 years- just a very beginner guitar player 😄. Glad to see I’m not the only one that does this! Lol

    Question about picking and the arpeggio- are you starting at the bass that is part of the chord or just like the low E? I noticed when you switched from the G to Cadd9, you mentioned that a bit- so is that for all chords? Like say Em- would my first pick be on the A(then D) or still E? What if I’m picking a D chord? Then for the arpeggio- do you do it ONLY with the strings that are being used for the chords? Ugh I hope I’m hoping this is making sense lol..
    I’m only 6 days into learning guitar- former piano player- and I’m so far teaching myself, hoping to start lessons in September.
    I’m sure I’ll get those questions answered as I continue along my journey but I figured I’d ask you first :) I am loving all of your Taylor Swift tutorials, I am a huge fan of hers and I’m so excited I’m finally setting time to learn how to play so I can hopefully get to where I’m singing and playing! Thanks so much!!

    Nena can I play my g chord with the ring finger on the high e and not both fingers? My pinky just never goes where I want and that’s part of my issue with barre chords. I was taught I could play the g the way I do and now I just can break the habit. It does sound really nice though.

    @JenniferIacino 2 роки тому

    Hi Nena! 🥰 I have a basic question: when you explain the first strumming pattern, it’s written DUDU DUDU DDU, but *verbally* (full measure way) you explain/play
    D UDUD UDUD DU (the half measure explanation/play seems to match the written pattern). Am I missing something? And is there a reason you don’t consider these to be different strumming patterns? Not trying to call you out at all, I adore you and your channel! I just watched this video when I first started back in Jan or Feb, and remember being a little confused about something, lol…now that I’m a little more experienced (and yet *still struggling* with holding to a set pattern! lol), I finally noticed this slight difference. In general, I seem to feel more comfortable playing a “non-specific pattern pattern” ??? 😆 …likely downstrumming, with some other pattern added (just sound lazy to me, lol)… sheesh! 🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙇‍♀️😜
