Good day to everyone, and I hope you are doing well.
I hope you all are staying well, safe, and warm out there.
I wanted to do a shoutout to Mr. @Richard_close2u for doing an amazing lesson on strumming
and strumming patterns.
I’ve learned so much, including angling the pick, tapping your foot, moving your body, and having stamina, endurance, and concentration when it comes to strumming.
Mr. @Richard_close2u is born for greatness, indeed, and I can’t wait to see what Mr. @Richard_close2u session you have in store for the Justin Guitar Community.
Welp, that’s all for now folks.
Thank you for your time, energy, and effort of reading this topic.
Hi Richard great lesson yesterday I had to watch it away from my computer so couldn’t join chat, so just a message to say it went out well to the community and no tech issues, and well done to them winners you will enjoy. Cheers HEC (local hero)
Hi Richard. This may be a bit off topic, but could you suggest how to create drum tracks? You mentioned a pedal and I think in the past you may have mentioned Guitar Pro. What’s easiest way to do this? Thanks.
P.S. The lesson was great, normally slowing down makes it easier, but not with strumming!
Hello Richard, greetings from Switzerland, unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch #33 (but I’ll catch up soon), but I saw I won the 1:1! That’s amazing! How lucky am I!!! Really looking forward to it. Thanks a lot in advance!
@GuitarSurfer Gary, I used my Zoom G3 multi-fx for the drum beats.
Guitar Pro can create them but that is not really its purpose. If you already have it then good, I can easily explain how. If not, you can probably find good drum loops online with a quick search including the bpm you want.
Hi Richard. I do have GuitarPro, so instructions would be helpful. I do no have any pedals. I also have an iPad if GarageBand would be easy to use. I’m a novice with all this music production stuff as I feel it could be a rabbit hole that could eat into my guitar time. All advice greatly appreciated. Gary
The staves look like standard notation. Press either 0 or 1 on the first space to enter a kick-drum and a 0 or 1 on the third space for a snare drum. Repeat to fill a bar with four quarter beats like this.
If you want a second bar with a double kick-drum on beat 3 (as we heard in the live club session) enter as above but change the note duration to eighths when you reach the third beat, then back to quarter again for the snare on beat 4.
Really looking forward to it. Thanks a lot in advance!
