I can’t quite catch the two bar strum pattern for my Sweet Lord. Justin says it outloud but too quickly for me to catch. It is a 2 bar strum pattern and I think the push only happens between the two bars. There is no push after the 2nd bar? Is that correct?
Hi Steve ,
Long time no see
If someone has a question about a song, you are supposed to post it under the Topic of that song, that is easier for people to help and it keeps all questions together and a bit neater … and it saves @Richard_close2u an action to move it, good luck with the song (grade6) there are not very many who will play this ( Edit: nice lesson hope this is clear from the time I stopped it ) …Have fun with it
Greetings,Rogier
Dear @BarrhamianSteve ,
I will forgive you for posting your question in the wrong place and try to answer it.
Here is the 2-bar strumming pattern (as far as I can tell):
Em A
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
D D D U D U D U D D U D
As Justin mentions in the video, it’s important to get the “pushed” chord in the right place. In this case, the change from Em to A occurs on the “and of 4” and not on beat 1, as is usually the case.
Btw, at exactly 10:22 of the video, when Justin strums and counts, he adds an up-strum on the “and of 2”. I think that is just a mistake, as he doesn’t play that up-strum elsewhere.
Also btw, I did not watch the whole video, so I don’t know why it’s considered a Grade 6 song, but while the strumming pattern is a bit tricky at first, I don’t think it’s that difficult.
Working on this and thought I would drop a note for others new to F#dim7. You can move your whole D shape up a fret and up a string and then drop the pinkie on the first string second fret.
Thank you Rogier and all who responded. I am back…well, I didn’t really leave but worked on songs independent of the lessons. Trying to get back to the lessons now.
The slide part seems doable. Is it In standard tuning or open E?
