Thanks for putting the effort in showing how the patterns relate to songs. Many YouTube tutors show the pattern without context.

One of the very best lessons covering strumming patterns that I have seen. Understanding which strumming pattern to use for a song and keeping that rhythm while singing is the most difficult for beginners. A light went on when I watched this video. Thank you very much.

James, I like how you teach The counting, the illustrations of 'down/ups', song examples, and demos really help me! Thanks so much.
