Two Rhythm Pitfalls

Think you’ve got a rhythm disability? Don’t worry. Chances are, you’re just making these misakes:

1. Thinking, “It Should Be Easier!”

Learning rhythms is hard, especially when you didn’t grow up playing music or dancing.

2. Practicing Wrong

Learning rhythms is stressful and exhausting unless you’re able to focus. Yet most beginners try to play along with song recordings where it’s hard to hear the guitar part, or they battle confusing diagrams or notation.

There’s a Better Way

My strumming videos enable you to learn rhythms naturally, without distractions. IT’S SO MUCH EASIER.

Features

  • 155+ Strum Videos

    Each video shows you what your song’s strum pattern should sound like. It loops so that you can play along.

  • Embedded in Chord Charts

    My strum pattern videos are embedded right in the chord charts themselves. There’s no need to leave the song you’re learning.

  • One Pattern for Lots of Songs

    Once you’ve learned a strumming pattern, you can use it to play all kinds of songs. The table on this page shows you which songs go with each strum pattern.

Sample Video

Strum Pattern Table

Organized by Pattern, Song, and Artist, once you learn one it opens the door to play similar songs that use the same strum pattern. The table also cross references additional strum patterns and includes helpful Comments. Learn even faster by subscribing to my Strum Videos.

This table will look wacky unless you
rotate your phone
