  • @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.

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

  • @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!

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

  • Thank you so much! You have now successfully taught me 6/8! Such a good teacher. Thank you:)

  • This helped me so much.

  • 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 :-/

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

  • yay, thank you so much! this was exactly the song i was trying 2 learn and was having trouble with in the first place. thanx! =)

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

  • 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
