8th notes strumming pattern - Guvna Guitars

In our previous lesson on the 8th notes, we learned how to strum both down and up strokes

Now, let's learn a way to make it sound more like a strumming pattern. Let's play the 1 and 2 and with down up down up

Then for the rest of the bar, we'll just play beats 3 and 4, that's just 2 down strokes

Leave the and of 3 open. So it's down up down up down down

Tip, if you're having a hard time completing this strumming pattern, try practicing playing it correctly once and then stop like this

This will help you out if you're confused about how to loop the strumming pattern

Once you're comfortable, try doing it in full until you master the strumming pattern

Now, let's try out our new strumming pattern with an A minor chord. Remember, do it slowly

Use the tip I shared earlier and it will save you so much time and frustration

if you keep this approach in mind
