Hi guys, I am a neophyte in guitar. Most of the poost over here give info about the chord to be used and are greatly helpful. But as beginner I am never able to understand how can i determine te strumming pattern. Can any one please help me by explaining the procedure of determing the strumming pattern. The little I know, I can guess it goes somewhat by the beats but I am not sure how. Thanks in advance.
listen to a song many many times, u'll get a feel of that song. actually strumming pattern has to follow the beats of the songs. just listen to a song and pay attention to the background bass.the beats and just let ur hand free on the guitar and try to follow the beat(not copy the beat). u'll go wrong 3-4 times but keep trying
try concentrating on drum beats..i found this best approach... also try dividing it into 1 2 3 4 pattern .. try tapping with the song... try strumming mp3 lessons on www.songsandchords.com/lessons
