Root Chord Strumming Acoustic Essentials
Begin TutorialDescription
Barrett will show you how to play root chord strumming, which is a common rhythm technique used widely on acoustic guitar in many different styles. It's called root chord strumming because we rhythmically separate the low root note of each chord from the rest of the notes in the chord while we strum. We’ll learn root chord strumming with a variety of our most common open major and minor chords. From there we’ll apply this technique to a basic practice song set to a backing track. Our main goal here is to master this rhythmic strumming technique so that when used along with our most common open chord shapes we can apply it in many different styles.
