Andy's Strumming Course now with Interactive TAB ▶ www.andyguitar.co.uk/online-lessons/courses/strumm…
In this video, we'll look at 5 super useful strumming patterns that progress from beginner to intermediate level. This can hopefully lead to a breakthrough in the strumming patterns you are capable of!
We'll also cover a suggested chord change to try with each strumming pattern. Remember, learning the pattern alone isn't much use, you need to be able to change chords while keeping the strumming going to the correct rhythm and feel - that's the trick!

Thank you! The tips about only hitting the low strings on the up stroke has literally just improved my guitar playing instantly
-
Around 9:17 the pattern Andy actually played didn’t seem to fully match what’s on the screen. I think the screen version ends with “ D DU” when what’s being played is “ DU DU” - did anybody else notice that ?
-
Hey Andy, on video 9:10, it seems you are playing DDDDU UD DUDU... while it shows DDDDU UD DDU... Thanks for the amazing video
-
I love the way you broke these concepts down. Great production quality!
-
Great one Andy I've been learning guitar during quarantine with only your courses and I've made amazing progress. Do you think you could do some tutorials on the greatest showman songs I know it's old but the songs are really cool.
-

Sometimes I feel those who can play guitar are some kind of wizards.

Your videos help a lot, Andy! Thank you 😁

love to learn how to tap before learning the beat, thanks for showing tap and explanation
-
This was exactly what I was looking for to start with right now!!! Thank you! All the other ones tend to move into the next strum really fast and even though it might be what I can do at that moment... I want to build precision before going forward. This was a great help!
-
Thank you Andy, focusing on the rythm has really helped me to learn quickly.

Dear Andy!!!! Perfect 👌 lesson 🎸. You are a great musician and a good teacher too. 😍 I lost my hope to play like this. But you gave me a great way to start a new game and how to play the right way to show everyone that I can play good - thanks to you. I really appreciate your patience and time for all. 😍Before I get this lesson I was D D D and now I'm U U U.... ☺️

Idk if you read these but I must say you are such an amazing person. Having the patience of making oversimplified tutorials is something. Thank u.
