I made a breakthrough when I learned a reggae/punk song that was all quarter up strumming and then did it interchangeably up or down strum. Feeling the strings and how I use them improved my sound.

You are wonderful Lauren. Helping me so much . Thank you

[gawebm]

I've been paying, but not learning for years. I've recently started up again and have been watching a ton of strumming videos. This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. I'm not sure why, but something just clicked for me! I was able to follow all of your patterns and actually FEEL the rhythm. I'm subscribed and THANK YOU! I feel like I just had a breakthrough.

[abunkoske]

Dropping that last up strum helps my fingers catch up while keeping me in rhythm with my strumming hand. Excellent tip!! Thanks Lauren!

[bruceringrose]

As you work on these patterns, think of your arm as a metronome, going up and down in time to the tempo, always keep your arm moving, even when you skip an up or down strum. Strongly suggest practicing with metronome (lots of cellphone apps) and set the tempo to 60 or 70 beats per minute if you are just beginning your guitar journey. Remember the 3Ps, Patience, Perseverance, and PRACTICE, Good luck!!!

[MrGmooney]

Excellent, as always. When I teach a certain strumming pattern, I often give it a name..like the wagon wheel, strum...simply to give an example of a real song which sounds good with this particular strumming pattern. .

[stephanielab.lk.l.]

Thanks so much Lauren for this great lesson. ❤😊

[caniculari]

It is a good lesson. Also playing the pattern without the voice should give a very good impression about how the pattern should sound alone. Thank you Lauren

[roseannlunan]

You Lauren are a great teacher!It is so great that you take it slowly and repetitively Thx😅
