Greetings Jonathan, thanks a bunch for all of these tutorials. They are GREAT. If you feel it is an appropriate song I find “Summertime” a nice guitar song to play. I can play it using notes on the the B and […]

Thank you both for the helps. I’ve getting back in to the guitar after spending time in Guatemala with Faith in Practice. Please pray for the people of Guatemala in the aftermath of the volcanic eruption from Mt. Fuego. I was actually in Antigua with Fuego providing a backdrop daily.

Yes, that’s the idea. Obviously, some will sound better than others, but it can work with many of these different options. As you said, the most important factor is the length of the measures. Is the song in 4/4 time, 3/4 time, or 6/8 time? Once you have that determined, then you can fill in those measures with whole note strumming, half note, quarter, 8th, or 16th note strumming.

Jonathan

I went through the replay of the foundations of strumming and i’d like to say that you’ve done an excellent job.But just to make sure that I understood the content of this course may I resume it in saying that as long as you are following the measure of a song you can strum one,two, four, eight or sixteen strokes depending how you feel it.Am I right?

Regards

Agree with Pamela. Utube is saying “video unavailable” on May 28.

Cheryl, that is a great purpose, and should keep you motivated to continue learning.

I agree that music is a universal language, and transcends other forms of communication. It is a wonderful thing to be able to create your own music, and I hope you are able to achieve that one day as well.

Thanks for sharing your story with us!

My current purpose and plan is multifaceted like you Ann.

Purpose:
1. I love music. It is a universal language. You can transmit emotion and energy through it, and connect with people soul to soul. I have always wanted to share like that. I still want to get to the skill level (like I described in my Introduction) to play favorite songs, and maybe even write my own.
2. I recently fou…

I have many ongoing goals and will continue with them. For example, continually trying to improve my strumming, chord changes and learning new songs. In addition my new goal is to learn the Inverse Pattern that Jonathan has shown us with Great Is Thy Faithfulness. My main purpose for learning this new pattern is to add a softer technique and a more melodic sound to my playing.
