The Ultimate Strumming Guide for Guitar (Session 9): Techniques for Beginner to Advanced Players

1. Introduction: Are you tired playing the same rhythm, strumming patterns over and over again? Are you ready to learn some new rhythm strumming patterns? Are you a beginner? Just learning how to play the guitar? Have you played guitar for awhile and need some inspiration to get you out of a strumming slump. Rhythm guitar strumming catalog by Greg toboggan can help. Eight patterns that each volume step-by-step guide with rhythmic notation to get her to advance level downloadable PDFs, drumbeat to accompany your practice. Volume one contains 81 bar patterns, quarter-inch note rhythms. Future volumes will cover all patterns. Three parts to each volume. Part one, beginner videos to play along with a different rhythms notated. Part two, intermediate made rhythms with eight chord progressions play along and PDFs are provided. Or three, advanced eight rhythms used in new ways. Ideas for alternate techniques used on the electric guitar. Rhythm guitarist, catalog by Greg to bone. You will be inspired. 2. Learning Pattern #65: So pattern 65, and we'll just start with a D chord as usual. And we'll just do the pattern slowly and the pattern is down, down, down, down. Very common pattern. And I think it's one that you've probably used already, but it's part of our list and I want to make sure that we haven't included. Let's try a little faster. 1234. Now, I'm going to add something to this one. I usually don't do this till part three, but this pattern just wants to feel sort of a different groove in it. And instead of just tying the node over, like down and then tie it over, if we stopped the guitarists down to between light and sort of choke it, it does add something really neat to it. So if we speeded it up, but would it be, Let's just a little bit of extra for patterns 65, you can try that and see how you do with that piece. 3. Learning Pattern #66: Patterns 66. The rhythm is down, down, down. Very easy pattern. Again, it's a little simpler actually than the previous one. We'll try a little faster. 1234. 4. Learning Pattern #67: Patterns 67. This pattern slowly goes down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up. Again. It's pretty popular pattern. And in this volume we've got quite a few that you may have done before. Let's try a little faster. 234. Let's try it with a little joke that I did on the other ones who would be down. Good, Try that. This one also makes me want to think of sort of doing it arpeggio. So you do broken notes and you want to kind of go. So we're doing a bigger cord across six strings. You can actually hear it a little more with the arpeggio just in the beginning. You can play with that a little bit. 5. Learning Pattern #68: Patterns 68 with a D chord has more eighth notes and it goes like this, slowly, 234, down, up, down, down, down, down, down. If you wanted to choke it off, it could be. So that's taking the joke where the tie of the quarter note, the eighth note of two to three is sort of a choke. Let's try that just a little faster without the joke. 1234. 6. Learning Pattern #69: Pattern 69, and we'll start this one with a G chord. Again, this has a little more eighth notes similar to pattern 68. The four, instead of being a quarter note, has 2 eighth notes. So slowly, there'll be down. We could do it with a joke like this. Let's try a little faster without the choke. 1234. 7. Learning Pattern #70: Patterns 70 and patterns 70 with a G chord. It goes like this, down a little faster. Here we go, 234. And that pattern is very popular as well. It seems like there's a lot of popular ones on this volume nine. So this will be very valuable to you. 8. Learning Pattern #71: Patterns 71 with a G chord, and it's mostly eighth notes, except for the one tie onto the b2 and onto the three. So it'll be, now. Let's try that a little faster. 1234, like that one a lot. 9. Learning Pattern #72: Patterns 72 with a G chord and we have four strands, two down and two up. And it goes like this. Really cool. Little faster, 1234. 10. Chord Progressions: Volume nine, rhythms and chord progressions. Okay, so we're gonna do line 65 to 72 now with our standard open guitar chord patterns. And these are the same patterns we've used for all the volumes. Again, I've done this on purpose. So that not only will you know the rhythms, but you will be very fluent at changing the patterns and changing the cords in first position or open position with these basic chords. And then you can do whatever you want with them in playing bar chords or whatever, guitar riffs or whatever. But I wanted to get to a goal of two things. Number one, learning the open position chords, and number two, learning all the rhythms with them. So I've tried to mix it up and hope you enjoy it. 11. Pattern #65 with Chord Progressions: Patterns 65234, a little faster, 234. 12. Pattern #66 with Chord Progressions: Patterns 66 and the chords are G, E minor C, and D 766. And the pattern is when there's a quarter note and before it actually gives you a second to switch courts. And notice that my right hand is going down, up, down, up and it's not stopping, even though I'm not playing my pick against the string on the B2. I am just keeping that rhythm going to keep it nice and smooth a little faster. 234. 13. Pattern #67 with Chord Progressions: Patterns 67 will use the courts a, D, E, and E7. And the pattern is down. And pattern and 67 a little faster or 1234. 14. Pattern #68 with Chord Progressions: Patterns 68. The chords are a minor, D minor, E, and E7, and the pattern is down a little faster, 1234. 15. Pattern #69 with Chord Progressions: And patterns 69, we have the chord C minor, D minor in G, and the pattern is the pattern and 69, a little faster, 234. 16. Pattern #70 with Chord Progressions: And patterns 70, patterns 70, the courts, or C, a minor, D minor, G7. The pattern is a little faster. 1234. 17. Pattern #71 with Chord Progressions: Patterns 71. The chords are C, a minor, F, and G, and the rhythm is down and down. Again. This is a good pattern to speed up a little bit of fun with 1234. 18. Pattern #72 with Chord Progressions: And patterns 70 to the rhythm is down, up, up, down, and the chords are D, E minor, G, and A7. And a little faster, 1234. 19. Applications for Pattern #65: Part three of volume nine of the rhythm guitar strumming catalog by Greg to bone. Let's try this with a soft rock or country style. 20. Applications for Pattern #66: Let's try this with a soft rock or country style. Let's try this with a soft rock or country style. 21. Applications for Pattern #67: Let's try this with a metal style, six or seven. Let's try this with a soft rock or country style. Fast rocket style. 22. Applications for Pattern #68: Let's try this with a soft rock or country style, fast rocket style. 23. Applications for Pattern #69: Let's try this with a soft rock or country style. 24. Applications for Pattern #70: Country style, faster. 25. Applications for Pattern #71: Country style, faster. 71 is almost the same. 26. Applications for Pattern #72: Let's try that pattern in Iraq style. Let's try that pattern in a reggae style. 27. Project Outline: For your project, I would like you to take one or two strumming patterns from any of the volumes. Or if you've just done one so far ticket from the one volume, take two patterns and try and play them together. So you might take a pattern from the beginning of the course and then take one from another course, put them together and see if you can come up with two strumming patterns that might be something like down, down, down, down, down. And see how 2-bar patterns work. And you'll find that if you play with a three-bar pattern or a four-bar pattern, it's a little harder to get the musicality of it because we don't tend to think of music in three or four bars when we're streaming, it's usually one bar or two bars, but you can experiment with it. There's no rules and music is if it sounds good and it plays easily for you and comfortably then it's the right thing to do. So experiment, you may come up with a new genre of music and Evernote. So once again, your project for this course would be to take one or two patterns and practice melding them together. And you can do whatever keywords you want. And please post your results and let me know how you've done. And if you want me to add anything to the course and future courses, whether I should get into 2-bar patterns or stick with the one bar or if there's other things that you'd like me to do. So thank you very much for taking the course. I hope you enjoy the project. 28. Thank You!!!: Thank you so much for taking the rhythm guitar chord catalog course, and very happy that you've went through this volume, and I certainly hope you try all the volumes. There are ten volumes in this catalog with 85 different patterns. So I've gone through and found all possible patterns with eighth notes and quarter notes in one measure. And I've put them all together for you to be able to play. This should be easy to use. And I hope you go back and use it as a resource for playing in the future. If there's a song you've been playing and you've been using the same core pattern all the time. This will give you a new perspective on it and I hope you will try some of these patterns. Some are really tricky to play, and once you get them, they're so simple and they add so much to the music. So thank you so much for taking the course, and I hope you take all ten volumes of my rhythm guitar strumming course.
