Hey Sonny, You are smart to focus on the strumming patterns. I had a very good ex=session player tell me 30 years ago to pay attention to my right hand and let the left catch up. The tendency is to put all your effort into learning the chord shapes and changing chords. This guy told me "the music is in your right hand". (If you are a lefty you can reverse that  |

Keep in mind rhythm should be fluid, and somewhat amorphous. However, you can still write down a basic rhythm pattern to follow. I do it all the time with my guitar students. It may not be the best way to play the song, but it allows beginners to get the idea pretty quickly.

(If you are a lefty you can reverse that I got the same advice 33 years ago. Great advice. Work on technique so that you are never limited to only the portion of your musical ideas that you can actually pull off. |

RK, That's such a cool line. One of the most frustrating things about the guitar for me is getting the music in my head to come out my fingers. I would be interested in your thoughts on ear training. |
