    I've watched many videos on strumming pattern but not much of the help, You are so clear that even a toddler can understand your teaching ...best video very effective help .

    Awesome video man. Really helped. Proper theory makes a huge difference. Timeing is essential. Im 52 and a beginner of 2 years. Your video was excellent.
    Excellent video. Proper theory lesson. Everyone should watch this video. Finally someone who explains everything instead of just showing you what to do. Timeing is the most important thing in a song sounding right.

    Brilliant exercises thanks. I’ve been getting really frustrated with changing chords specifically G to D at present and I’m fed up with hearing about beginner songs being easy chord progressions (G C D for example). They’re only easy if you can do them! I can change easily between most of the basic chords but my ring finger just will not land on the correct string of the D chord at the same time as my index and ring fingers which makes a horrid sound as I strum down - loads of rattles and unharmonious noise grrr! One way I’ve found helps me is to always always count the “and” after beat 4 and thats my cue to change, it kinda helps. You’re also giving us that same space to change - when the strum hand is going UP so by the time the strum hand comes DOWN you’ve got your next chord. I’m deffo trying all your exercises to try and get my internal auto pilot instructed properly. Thanks xx

    I'm about a month in on the guitar. I had suspected this little "nothing chord" technique for quite a while from closely watching very experienced and professional guitarists. This is the first time I've seen it talked about and taught. Good to know it is a widely accepted and used technique. And very good to have it demonstrated in a very slow and clear way. Excellent! Thank you.

    I'm a begginer too. Although I think I am already progressing nicely, with plenty of available online tutorials, I give you high five on this very useful excercises. I like them because they point out progressive learning in small steps, you could say they learn you some discipline in playing. Especially useful was your last "cheat" advice, which is rarely mentioned, like many others have said. Thank you Joe.

  • @burple65
    @burple65 2 роки тому

    Probably the most helpful video I've found yet on this topic. I had no idea when I started learning the guitar what a stumbling block this would be. I've learned about a dozen chords and have practiced them enough that I can change chords fairly quickly compared with when I was first learning, but this is just with trying to see how many times a minute I can change chords without consideration for anything but one downstrum for each chord change. So when I try to add a strumming pattern to it, it all falls apart. This video shows how to get there in incremental steps. I'm finding that I'm going to need to practice this A LOT before I can make any real improvements in my playing.

    Hi Joe. I’m very excited that I found your video. I’m going to take it one exercise at a time. For some reason I don’t like using a pic. Do you highly recommend using a pic? I think most people do, it seems when they strum.
    I know this video is on the older side so if anyone else is reading this and has some good feedback I’d appreciate it.
