Congratulations, !
Challenge complete
Come back tomorrow for your next challenge
This is the most valuable lesson on strumming as it shows how to put together the count and up and down strokes. This is the best strumming course I ever had. Very understandable.
Hey Tony, you’ve really mastered the art of virtual guitar teaching via clear verbal guidance and motivating support. The cadence of your speech adapting to my cognition has everything to do with delivery. For me, your timing of setting the goal, explaining what to do in real time while allowing me to perform the action, and then guiding me to the next step and outcome is what keeps me coming back each day—really appreciate it. Glad to be here.
This one was fun.
I’m going to hang this lesson on my wall. so fun!
Tabs are not showing up in this series.
They are showing up on everything else.
Wow, I need to work on this.
Glad to see this. I’ve always had questions about how to interpret strumming patterns that I never got answered. I hope to be able to listen to a song and determine what the strumming pattern is.
I have Strum-o-phobia. I’m grateful to have found this course.
lots coming at me but it was fun
Great lesson
Go to Materials, then download tab lesson 5
Where do I find the Tab
For me this was a great lesson. I knew a fair amount about timing, but Tonys method really put it all together.
All this is so new to me I’m really not keeping up. I’m counting on sticking with this program and just getting familiar with everything. I am picking up bits and pieces here and there. Just got to keep at it.
I cant see the tab on these exercises
I don’t see where I can print this out??
No tab downloaded again…
Please let know when fixed.
This is a good one to work on your timing – good exercise!
I had to print this out and write the count above each note to not rush. I noticed that I rock my body back and forth while counting
Had to slow it down for getting the picking muscle memory but got it yo a level that I could sustain.
Very good lesson that I needed.
Great lesson! I needed this basic instruction, even though I’m on session 108 today.
Fun to play.
Hey Tony, how long do I have to go over these lessons and revisit them? Shortly after starting this course I was on the road. Many of the RV parks we went to do not have access or very good WiFi so I am pretty far from my goals.
So far love these lessons. Thank you. Jim
A bit of these things I’ve done before but it is always good to get back to basics, relearn at times and practice practice. Hope all enjoyed this…
Thank you, I so needed this!
practice, practice, practice
Strumming is THE speedbump on the road to guitar playing
Keeping a beat to this will be challenging.
Very interesting & nice sounding!
So good to review all of these strumming patterns!
I am not able to see any of the lessons. What do I need to do, please.?
That very last comment about keeping your hand moving down during the rest to help keep time changed my ability to play this a lot more easily in the last measure. Thanks for all the little tidbits. This is coming together nicely thank-you.
Also, I’ve been wondering for the last couple of lessons about whether you strum all the strings on the upbeat and you covered it in passing here – that was crucial to cementing how I was watching you play vs talking about a ‘full upstrum’ vs the three notes shown on the TAB.
All the patterns of down/up’s! However bit concerned that if Tony says do stuff in 1 8th notes would get mixed up need to look at music sheet again – It’s great to have the alternate base to break up the different ways to ring it – really having fun with this!
Wow, great lesson. A lot of different variations of strumming patterns.
Great lesson. Now I’m writing out my own rhythms. Yay! Thanks.
I really like this group of lessons, the TAB is awesome because it shows the music notation and TAB which has made the connection for figuring out the strum pattern when you don’t have both.
I showed up…dlfficult…but I tried!
I will definitely be adding this to my workout tool bag!
this was a little work but not to bad adding to my daily work out
How can I add this, #5, to favorites?
I’ve noticed this also. No hart. I think we can only do the daily challenges? Maybe I’m missing something. What I have done is built me a hand written note spiral titled: Work Out Tool Bag.
Having trouble getting the tab sheet to come up along with the video. Doesn’t seem to be working like it did with the other challenge lessons. Anyone else having this problem?
Good variations to try, once one pattern is established, a new one to learn
All new to me! Who knew that strumming was more than just… strumming? 😉
What’s funny is that I woke up this morning with some of the strumming patterns I have been learning going through my head, so my subconscious at least is soaking it up, apparently!
I really need this. I often start a song in good rhythem and then have timing problems. Will be spending some time working these last 3 steps. Great for all kinds of country, pop, and folk songs and more.
Good variation in Rhythms Tony, put us through our paces on this one!
Nice variation of the chords!
Super good exercice. Especially for me as I want to play country music. Very Helpfull. I’m gald I have found Accoustic Challenge. I find it hard yet. But i’m gonna be there soon.
I found myself rushing to much so I bought TE Tuner metronome and it has helped me immensely with my timing and I have started picking up confidence in strumming.
This is great. I used to read music in high school band.. play the trumpet and various other noise makers… But I was unsure of how to translate what I knew of quarter notes, etc. to strumming. Light bulb moment. Thanks Tonys!
I like this think I will take my time with it.
I like it as well. I’m new to guitar but am a professional drummer. Can’t tell you how helpful it’s been to be well-versed in drumming while learning to play guitar. Good luck to you Michael…!
