So when u do the up n down strumming s it DOWN-up-down-DOWN-up-down?

If it is it doesn't feel natural :-/

[TheseCheeseball]

@daviddjportugal No, I'm pretty sure it's just up down up down :)

[adityachourasia]

Thanks brett!! your videos helped me out a lot! :)

[ChloeJponygirl]

[JoanneWx]

Your voice is so relaxing. This was really helpful, thank you. :)

[KNuge610]

so the strumming pattern is still the same 1 2 3 4 5 6 down up strum with accents on 1 and 4? or does it start with a down down strum? If that makes any sense

[areeys]

Thank you! Very helpful :) This is the hardest part for me for some reason!

[usidda]

well done clear explanation

[IFollowNickJsHeart]

do you think you could do the up parts slower cause like im confused and my strumming is all messed up:/

[grenoblejetaime]

THANK YOU! I did not understand how to do 6 8 time until this video!!! :)

[XiaoMaiThePanda]

Thanks! I've been trying to learn to play The Only Exception, but most videos only game me the chords, and this helped with my strumming pattern!

[guitarcat72]

Good job and thanks for the song sample in 6/8 time too.

[guitarcat72]

Good job and thank you for the song example too.

[williamhudson80]

Good job and thanks for the song sample of 6/8 time too.

[paixetdamour]

thanks for the help! you have a very unique sounding voice(:

[PuppyGirlProductions]

Is this suppose to be for beginners? If not, then sorry.

If it is, I am still confused cause as i watched you sometimes your pick would go down and up and sometimes it wouldnt....

[torchandregdoc]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm still struggling though. My kids say that I'm guitarded. I now understand what 6/8 is and can count and play, but when you play the only exception, are you skipping or partially playing a down or two. I can hear something other that just the straight 6 count, both in the original and in yours. I really like the strum of this song, but can't duplicate it.

Thanks.

[ilessthan3food]

thank you for this wonderful video, i can FINALLY play this song :-)

[Valerika23]

Thanks. I'm trying to learn Anna Nalick's "Breathe". I think this will help.

[kayteDianeKD]

I know this is gonna sound stupid, but the only stupid ? in my book is the one that's not asked,so here goes. How do you accent the beat? Do you pause a second before? or hit the strings harder? I don't have my guitar plugged into the amp,,,is that why it's not sounding it?

[strumforlove]

THIS SUCKS. it didn't help AT ALL. your telling us to strum up and down an accent it on beast 1 and 4 and your doing all this other mumbo jumbo crap. YOU SUCK at teaching so TELL US HOW TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[guitarfriendlynet]

@strumforlove sorry this didn't help you. no need to be angry about it. in the video, i'm counting in six and all i'm doing is perpetual down-up strums to a count of six. start with just down strums. get that to a count of six and then try adding in up strums between all your down strums. then accent beats 1 and 4. i broke down this entire strumming pattern in the simplest elements in this video so take it slow at first and build on each one.

[strumforlove]

@guitarfriendlynet im so sorry for getting angry ): sorry sorry i apologize it was just in the heat of the moment.

sorry, still friends? cool (:

[brandonannapolis]

@strumforlove Dont be a dick! I dont see you teaching anything asshole

[racheltaylor21]

Plaese keep making videos you are like the most helpful and easy to understand!!!

[XxXxMoMoStewxXxX]

6/8 =P

[rpblcan]

what is the strumming pattern for 'the only exception'?

[jim180ify]

fantastic video! has really helped with my strumming! i'm a beginner and you've kept me going. great teacher!

[joenasfanatics]

It's the only tutorial on Youtube that helped. lol. How about the strumming pattern for 4/4?

[guitarfriendlynet]

@joenasfanatics I did a video lesson a couple years ago of 4/4 in a two part series. Check it out under my other videos.

hope it helps!

[jobabybear]

Yeah. I knew it. Beats one and four as i saw to your tuitorial. I'm still practicing it :) Thanks again. :)

[guitarfriendlynet]

@jobabybear The first pattern is done in just all down strums.

[jobabybear]

@guitarfriendlynet oh. yeah. Thanks alot :)

[guitarfriendlynet]

@jobabybear No problem. And also, don't forget to accent (strum a little louder) for beats one and four. As you get this, you'll feel the pulse of the rhythm a bit more.

[nhojcam]

very good explanation!
