Strumming Techniques

Hi everyone

I am currently on course to finish Fundamentals 2 and so far it has been going smoothly. I can transition well between most chords but my strumming is a bit rusty. It can sound amazing at times and really bad during other times. I cant see any strumming based lessons to improve upon this. Is this covered in any of the lessons post Fundamentals 2 or am i missing something ?

Any Advice would be helpful. Thanks

Hi Maverick,

I`m assuming that you`re playing acoustic. Anders covers that subject pretty well in acoustic 1 and 2 that you`ll probably be taking after GF2. Both are well constructed.

Thanks Moose [br]That covers it. Looking forward to getting to Acoustic 1 & 2 soon

I agree....the courses with Anders in Acoustic 1 will really help you. My strumming improved immensely. I did have to watch the videos multiple times, too.

You might also want to try to play along with people on (dare is say?) YouTube. I found it very helpful to see differnt people strumming and trying to keep up with their pace and rhythm. Of course, you can do that on here too and just search for the Easy or Beginner song tutorials and start learning some of those.

Good luck! You'll get there!
