Learning To Play Upstrokes On Guitar - Guvna Guitar

Let's now introduce another strumming pattern to your 8th note

Play the downstrokes on the beats 1, 2, 3, 4s and play the ands using upstrokes

When strumming the upstrokes, slant your pick all the way up just like we slanted our picks

when strumming the downstrokes but in the opposite way. This will make it easier for

you to play the strings. Now let's try this with the E minor chord

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1

Keep practicing this and upstrokes should be feel as comfortable as downstrokes
