    This is awesome. I'm a beginner+ lol. I have a problem where every time I try to practice guitar I end up into the same strumming pattern and everything sounds the same. I keep trying to do different ones but I just keep falling back into that same silly pattern. Thank you!

      You might try listening to the song at the same time I’ve noticed that when I just look at a songs strum pattern I get mixed up in the specifics but if I listen to the song while playing I automatically start playing the correct one, you’ll have to do if a lot in order to get the pattern perfect

    Love these. I started learning to play last November but got tired of how I was learning. These strumming videos got me back into it, so thank you.

  • @hodgepodgemomentswithrenee6857

    Thank you Marty! You have helped me learn how to play the guitar and in about a year and a half I am now playing at church and putting music to my own original songs! I am still learning of course but am so excited to have come this far already! The way I am learning now is by learning new songs. That way I learn new chords and progressions.
    I do still struggle with what type of strumming patterns to use(or picking) patterns to use so any help with these things is very appreciated.Thanks again and God bless you!

    Taking my first dive into acoustic guitar in a few weeks, never played before. Watched a couple of your vids and has helped me decide to take the leap! I'm a bit daunted by the chords and I can't read music on a sheet to save my life but baby steps!

    Good Day Marty. at the age of 37 I decided to start playing guitar. i am left handed, but playing "right" Your videos makes it so easy and I feel that because i am left handed, my cord pressing comes easy for me. Thank you for all these awesome great excellent beginner video. I can play these beginner A, E, C, D, G cords endlessly for hours messing around with the strumming patter. I love it. Since I cant read music, all I read in my mind is up down up up down up up up up down down down up up .......in your voice

    Love that 16th note strum at 13:41. You may wish to do a lesson on the same type of 16th rhythm strum Gordon Lightfoot plays live and taped by the BBC in 1971. I know you're always looking for great lesson material and your acoustic teachings are the best. Clearskys has the video up on UA-cam and the time code is 30:49. I tried to get it but my wrist gave out. And Gordon is playing a 12 String!

    Can I tell you I am concerned that I have no rhythm? I have do have some rhythm obviously. Is it possible that you can get rhythm by practicing? I am worried that I will practice and practice with not much change. I play daily amid my busy adult life and I truly look forward to playing my guitar too, so that helps. I have learned so much from you and I truly enjoy playing what you've taught me so far.

    I don't know if you normally see or read comments old, but could you possibly do a video for The Tide Is Turning by Roger Waters?
    I've searched and searched and can't seem to find any reliable tutorials for this song.
    There's a little solo/lead lick that's played throughout the song that I cannot find any kind of tabs for.
    I figure if anyone could figure it out, you'd be the guy!
    Plus it's just such a beautiful song and I would love to be able to learn it!

    What They don’t tell you is it it takes 100 times to practice this to get it down a little. But it takes thousands of times of practice to get it down effortlessly and be able to sing along with it 🤣 i’m in year three and it will probably take me five more years before I could play much effortlessly
    Edit: no I don’t practice for hours a day LOL just a fun side hobby

    I've been playing for close to a year at this point, and my guiter teach would always say that I can't stop while strumming, and that my arm has to be constantly moving up or down. During the 4th pattern before going to the 3 up strokes in a row, you are pausing, but if I had to play this strum for him, I would have to up stroke, down stroke without actually playing anything, before starting the 3 up strokes. I'm a bit confused now, and I would be nice to great some clarification on which approach is "better".
