Strumming Patterns
When we play chords to accompany a song, we hit the
string with two basic motions of the arm.
Downstroke
Upstroke
These are three of the
most popular strumming patterns.
1. All downstrokes – one per beat
This should sound something like this if used on the song:
2. Downstrokes and upstrokes 2 per beat
This should sound something like this if used on the song:
3. Strumming pattern: keep the motion of your right arm
going but don’t play some of the upstrokes or downstrokes (those in brackets). Think of it like
'down-down-up-down-up' but keep the motion going!!
This should sound something like this if used on the song:
Great job!
