Would a picking technique tutorial in the High Bandwidth section help?
I find it hard to come up with picking technique lessons cause for some reason, ever since I started I found strumming and picking to be second nature.
I get some emails asking me to tab out exact descriptions of where to strum up and down on particular beginning lessons... and it's kinda like, to me...
why don't you just look at the video..??
(I've got several subscribers asking me to tab out the up/down strumming techniques for total beginners lessons that lead me to believe that if they would just spend more time pracicing they'd get it without my help.... not to mention that strumming isn't an exact science where you do the exact same strumming patter every time.... it's very hard to tab something out because there's some very subtle techniques used)
It's hard for me to relate to absolute beginners who can't get the basic strumming techniques.
I'll do a strumming tutorial covering the different styles... but the major problem for me is the amount of time it would take to tab out the exact 'up/down' illustrations for the tabs.
Would a tutorial done really slowly on video be adequate to teach beginners to strum better?
I can do a whole ton of strumming videos, but if I have to add tabs, it's gonna take me weeks and months because there's a lot of work involved.
Can you guys learn just by observing videos?
If so, I'll start putting together a series of instructions showing how to strum different patterns... showing slow versions with detailed explanations, and then normal speed.
Like I said though, if I have to type out detailed tabs though, it's gonna take months and months to get it done and not something I'd look forward to doing.
