This week on the channel Neal covers an essential rhythm pattern from Lisa McCormick's tutorial of the same name. Once you hear this pattern you'll be sure to recognize it right away. It's used in tons of songs from acoustic, country, pop and rock. This makes it a must have strumming pattern to add to your collection of guitar tricks!

The tip of the week is to wipe down your strings after each playing session. This will help keep your strings new and bright sounding to last longer in between string changings.
