Feel Good Strumming

Wow, a superpower! :smiley:
It’s funny how we usually see things in the negative and it takes another person pointing it out in a different perspective to realise that we have something good!

Thanks Fast-Eddie, I am now a bit less frustrated when failing a strumming pattern while counting, as I just play the pattern twice as fast without counting to cheer myself up :smiley:

I’m with Eddie, how I wish I could play by feel and not mechanically counting and replicating patterns.

I wonder if such a small guitar actually sounds alright, even with wrong tones possibly it might?

Not quite, to be honest :grin:

It even has very tiny little strings attatched, but the sound matches the one of my air guitar :wink:

I have a question


Picture is showing a strumming pattern which is played in 4/4 but hand isn’t moving all the time like we do in dudududu motion
Help me im confused :face_with_spiral_eyes: about this pattern

Your hand has to move all the time the D U are where you stum the strings, the spaces are misses. Using you 1/8 note strumming the picture would be played like this.

DUDUDUDU/DUDUDUDU
D DU UD /D D DU

It would help if we knew the song.
Looks like a 16th note pattern, but would need quite a few missed strums both up and down.

Looked at the song in ultimate guitar and it gives the strumming pattern as


I have watched video and the translation doesn’t match what is shown.
If it is a 8 note pattern then could be some double strumming a some of the + but not sure I hear that.
Michael
PS could involve triplets but really not sure what is intended sorry.

Mati @matimusic
As beginner guitarists we learn fairly simple rhythms but these videos outline less straightforward ones. To be absolutely sure you would need to have sight of the official sheet music.
Michael

When I am practicing with a metronome, the down strum has to be on the sound and the up strum is shortly after the sound, correct?

Correct!

@Betti777
Yes that is when your doing it in 4/4 time.
