Thank you Justin. Ive been learning guitar with you since 2015 when I was recovering from lung cancer. Playing guitar really helped me heal faster and made me feel more confident too. Thanks for your great lessons and explanations. Im doing it!! xx

Strumming patterns have been the first thing which I’m really really really struggling with 😂😭 my brain can’t comprehend it!! It’s so weird. Looks like imma be on this lesson a while longer 😂🙌🏼

Thanks. I can play 6/8 by your teaching. Your slowly explanation and clear instruct helped me to catch up quickly.

Thanks for the video, wanted to make a backing track for some mandolin stuff I did and really struggled in 6/8 for some reason 😅 That really helped me figure something out!

Thank You Justin you're a lifesaver I've been looking everywhere for a great 6/8 strumming! 😀😀

Hi Justin is it necessary to think of strumming patterns in terms of numbers (ie. 1 2 + 3 4 5 + 6)? I find it much easier to play along when I say the downstrums and upstrums out loud instead.

Wow! I was looking at a chord chart for a song in 6/8 this morning!

Oh god. Oh boy, Oh boy, did I need this lesson.

I am moving my hand all the time and I make the correct sound. But i am doing it with muscle memory. I am not counting or tapping my foot. Is that okay? Is it okay to strum by just feeling it?

[jasonledyard]

Everything leading to Strumming has been easy and fun, but I have to say that I really hate strumming and if I can ever get good enough to compose and record music I will be sure not to rely on strumming patterns for anything.

[nuggetman]

Is it normal that I don’t actually count the 1 and 2 and and all that but just feel it through tapping my feet. Do I need to force myself to count it or can I just feel the beat.

[Raha]

Can anyone tell me why is it called 6/8

[GameInDorf]

Damn. That's seems like it's going to be quite the roadblock for me for a while.

[velkar]

Why don't you play the regular strumming rather than muted strumming? Wouldn't that be easier to learn?

[Skapekai]

It feels so weird to strum down on an empty beat just to not play it, it feels so unnatural. This will take some time....
