whats the strumming pattern

[lords1child]

omg i got the begginin now i need the song if u can put the pattern thxs for the vid it helps alot i wanted 2 learn it 2 play it for my mom she loves this song

[blackhawk1491]

I think it's easier to play the E without the pinky, then push the pinky down and lift up the middle finger when you switch to A... then you just slide like he shows you... there are actually more complicated chords to play with this, but the root E A B sounds fine if you're a beginner

[SARAHMONA2009]

[jansentorres08]

Well done. Very clear. Can anyone help me: I just started to learn how to play and am having trouble tuning my Guitar. I have a tuner but still doesn't sound right. The 6 string is very dominate over all the rest. It makes all the others sound bad. But when i check it with the tuner it says that its where it is supposed to be. I'm getting frustrated because of the tuning. Please help. What does it mean when you constantly have to tune the strings. Is it the guitar or strings? HELP ME!!!

[kvinlowskillz]

well, all guitars are like that. Sooner or later, you have to tune your strings (:

[FilipKid]

[smitty9879]

strum pattern is like a slow version of the strumming pattern I have up on my fast strum lesson. Its a down down down up up down down up down up.

Hope that's not too confusing

[jhau86]

[kvinlowskillz]

Its an open power chord B (:

[JAACastle]

Hey there, thanks for the lesson on the song, needed a little encouragement along the way. I couldnt seem to pick up the intro, and was deliberating intro's etc but now i've got it so thanks. God bless. James.

[LadiiLizzy]

[danny2772]

[frenezulocz]

Thanks man for your videos. I think this is very good stuff for people starting with guitar in worship (like me:-))...so thanks much

[smitty9879]

you're welcome, i'm glad it helps

[Crugirl4christ]

what is the strum pattern?

[smitty9879]

down down, down up, up down, down up down up

[Crugirl4christ]

ummm im totally new at the guitar thing...where you place your fingers for a B?

[smitty9879]

if index finger=1, middle finger=2, ring finger=3, and pinky=4

And the strings are numbered 1-6 (smallest to largest: 1=high E, 2= B, 3= G, 4= D, 5= A, 6= low(big) E then:

Put finger 1 on the second fret, 5th (A) string,

Put finger 3 on 4th fret, 4th(D) string

Put finger 4(pinky) on 4th fret, 3rd (G) string

The middle finger (finger 2) is not touching anything, place it next to your 1st finger above the strings.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.... -Smitty

[Boazandtheband]

Keep praising the Lord!! Boaz

[smitty9879]

[douglgustafson]

I play the drums and the bass sometime for my youth group and thanks to ur videos i might even be able to play guitar

[smitty9879]

Thanks man I appreciate it. Good luck, I really want to play drums I play bass too but haven't had the motivation to get into drums yet.

Mike

[forrestclay]

I had the tab and was brain locked on it. You helped me on this big time. Thanks...keep up the good work!

4rest

[smitty9879]

you're welcome

[oprtun1]

I appreciate your demonstration of the intro. Very helpful. I found that it is easier for me to play the "A" on the G-string 6th fret so I don't have to move my hand down to the 2nd fret. Good job.

[smitty9879]

thanks

[bruceandberni]

very good! Difficult song to sing, but you did alright. I love the chord progression, can't get much easier than that. The only difficult one is the bsus. I have a hard time with the finger spread in that fret, but, with the slide from the E it's better. Thanks

God bless
