Howdy fellow GTers,

[br]I have a question perhaps you all can help with. I am near the end of GF1 at the strumming section. I am working on the D-D-U-U-D-U strumming pattern where you drop the up on the first beat and the down on the third one

. [br]What I have trying to do is to just strum this pattern over and over and develop muscle memory where the pattern will almost become autonomic. I might strum the pattern over and over for 5 minutes straight.

[br]When I try and apply it to a song, the wheels usually come off at about the 2nd or 3rd chord change. My feble mind is not up to musical multi-tasking yet.

[br]I have only been working on this for a few days.

[br]Is drilling the pattern over and over and over the most effective way to lock in this strumming pattern or is there a better way do it?

[br]Thank you in advance for your replies!
