Do you use the same thickness pick in strumming as you do in lead playing?
ill let griff answer, but i have heard that if you’re doing a lot of strumming it helps to use a slightly thinner pick
Great lesson Thanks Griff
For me while working on my strumming patterns this video really helped put things into perspective, thanks.
We now know how to play nearly every Credence song ever…..
Alternatively, for the G/C example, just replace the eighth note right before the chord change with a rest (palm mute and play nothing)
Very good lesson thanks
real helping. great lesson thanks
Awesome lesson again… Can blaze up and down the 5 boxes but without the right timing it all just sounds like scales… This really helps tie it all together… Thanx again Griff.
The key is to make licks from the patterns. Otherwise you are just practicing scale patterns. Blazing up and down will just get you good at those patterns, which isn’t the goal
Griff , this is so cool , and really sounds great . I tried it with a few of the songs you listed . I get together once a week with some friends , so I will try it then . Thanks for another great lesson . Mike Z.
yes does sound like a eagles song and a few others . someone here said some are cracker jack players . its really about the timing that made them great . also want to say that some song books out there are really badly written .not even close to the real song .but thats just my opinion.
How do you keep it straight when to strum and when not to strum?
Thanks for the lesson!
Hi Griff. A very comprehensive tutorial and explained so well. Struggling a bit synchronising strums and chords but constant practice will no doubt have its rewards!
Thank you.
This is good stuff thanks for the lesson I drive 4 a living don’t always have time 4 the computer thanks again
Griff..I really like your method of teaching,please keep it up.Thank you
Good explanation of the common strumming 4/4 pattern. Are you going to do a video on strumming “cut time?” I just can’t get that right. Also, what about a common strumming for 3/4 time?
This is really useful stuff by the way. I find it tricky to get the timing right for the “and”s when counting myself. I find it easier to listen and copy.
Sorry ignore me I got confused between tabs!
The link the the TAB is wrong – it links to video 2 again. To get the correct tab I think you can copy it and change 2 to 3 and paste it into your browser, eg. http://strummingmastery.com/pdf/SRM-video3-music.pdf
much better explination why we do silent strumming.
