How To Transform The Most Basic Strumming Pattern Into Something Far More Exciting
Strumming all of the strings all of the time can sound pretty boring after a while. A great way to transform boring strumming is to try “Bass/Treble” strumming. This is a fun technique that you can apply to lots of your playing. It uses all downstrums and is fun! Take your time with it and enjoy! Get the TAB/notation for the lesson HERE.

New discovery 🙂 Simple but never knew these small tricks!
Ace, yeah, this is lots of fun! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Great!!!! Thanks!!!!
Pleased to hear it, Jo. 🙂
Dan I’m looking at the October lesson. I haven’t done the September lesson because I’m still working on all the basics. How can I access the September lesson?
Hi Martin, you can access and download HERE Enjoy! 🙂

This is really helpful and perfect for me to get more excitement, as you say, in my strumming. This seems to complement your lesson on accented strumming which I still practice daily.
Ace, so glad to hear it. Yeah, definitely some cross over with that one in terms of the accents. Keep enjoying yourself! 🙂
So, I feel like WOW! It truly is all coming together I actually really can play guitar now! This lesson for me is easy. No challenges… at first… and I realized that these past few months Dan, doing DTAA has been the only reason I can play guitar! I am learning so much. Ok back to this lesson…it is really easy for me … the first half…. then after my second glass of wine I’m getting things messy so …. good time to take a break! lol I practiced today for an hour. My point is that I am so… Read more »
Love to read comments like this! Really pleased to hear it and I love the enthusiasm. Also, nice to play with a glass of wine for sure. Pour yourself a big one to celebrate your progress. 🙂 Keep up the great practice!
Sounds cool Dan and very Oasis like – I’ve only tried single string bass strumming before – I like the pattern as well. 👏👏
Glad to hear it, Pete. Yeah, it is a bit Oasis for sure. Pleased you are enjoying it! 🙂
Another great lesson Dan thanks. Where would we be without you…
Ace, super pleased to hear it, Angie. It is good fun 🙂
