In this guitar lessons we check out a hybrid fingerstyle percussive strumming thing... Kinda Neil Young stylee lots of fun. I show you the basics in theis video then it's up to you to explore the concept further.

More advanced students might like to try my tune From Katie's Window which I wrote using this technique.

There are some more hints on pattern variations and TABS on the web site.


Taught by Justin Sandercoe.

Full support at the web site where you will find hundreds of lessons on a wide range of subjects, and all the scales and chords that you will ever need! There is a great forum too to get help, no matter what the problem.

And it is all totally free, no bull. No sample lessons, no memberships. Just tons of great lessons :)

To get help with your lesson or song look up the number at the start of the video title (like ST-666 or whatever) on the Lesson Index page.

    I recommend to start by practicing the percussion using a metronome ,and then pratice the percussion +highest strings sound

    2 weeks of practice and you will master it ;)

  • Thanks Justin for this vid. This technique will expand my ideas a lot further. You rock dude!

  • For Finger style or for Melody At which frequency guitar should be tuned ? can anybody tel me?

    my guitar is tuned at 440 but its not producing sound much melodic :/

  • @shredrix He says in one of his other videos that his nails are fake and I have decided from the vicious cycle of growing, filing, and breaking my nails that this is really the only way to go about it. I'm still mounting the courage to walk into a nail place and sit down but it has to be done.

  • ooo mAN id be so scared to grow my nails and use them for this lol do you have to strengthen them someehow ?

  • Dear Sungha, you can run but you can't hide :)

    am coming ...

  • I couldn't decide whether to take an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar away to uni with me in September, this video decided it for me, going to invest in a mini martin and away I go! Thank you very much!

  • If you cant get that little ring from the strings when you hit the percussion, try hitting the strings more with your nails than with your palm, won't sound gorgeous at first but do what SlashVsKirk says, practice practice and practice some more and you'll get it...

    I'm marking the video at this point in time for my own personal learning. Use it for yours as well.......and i don't care if your fingers are sore, keep doing it over and over. The world needs better musicians!

    Thanks for the great lessons Justin!

  • I'm having hard time hitting and getting melody out of it. any suggestions?

  • @MrSatancross its called 'right here waiting for you' by richard marx
