Most Beginner Guitarists Are Frustrated By Their Ability To Strum

The first problem many guitarists encounter, is they are rarely taught how to strum with good technique.

This means they often have a shrill, messy or jerky strumming sound and they never really get comfortable with strumming. If they do, it takes them years and lots of trial and error.

These years are wasted time as often, you only need to make a few small tweaks and then your strumming sound improves right away.

As well as this, most guitarists would love to be able to sing and strum at the same time too. It is tough but I’ll show you how to do this.

In this book, I will take you through the most common strumming mistakes that nearly all beginners make – and more importantly, I will teach you how to improve these areas right away!

 

Many Guitarists Learn One Or Two Strumming Patterns And Stop There – No Wonder They Get Bored!

Once a guitarist gets remotely decent at strumming, they tend to learn one or two of the most important strum patterns and then stop there.

They then use these one or two strumming patterns to play pretty much every song they know.

They strum the same exact pattern in the same exact way and don’t actually feel much excitement or joy with their strumming.

This gets really boring for you and the listener, pretty quickly.

Even if they learn more strum patterns they often have no idea how to use them in songs or which strum pattern to play for that song.

In this guide, we will solve all of this.
