Strumming Series Work Page
Using this page to organize all my thoughts and material for strum series 🙂
The lead magnets should have a video of me using Ableton layering different strum patterns with some cool chord shapes from the Chord Series. Keep it Short. Then short sales script for what the strum series is and offer to get 2 more parts for free in exchange for email. Combine with chord series for limited time offer.
Essentially every strum pattern/song I teach and want to create a page in the free section. Eventually there should be quite a few. Possible contenders on site now:
Hey There Delilah (although not strum)
Knockin on Heavens Door - Should redo video though
Free Falling - redo video

Ways to practice a new pattern
The eighth note triplet is another way we can add 3 notes in one beat.
This time though they are evenly spaced. I will be sure to have mp3 examples of all these patterns.
I Love Rockn Roll
Alternate vs Down picking
Lost
Bang Bang - Greenday
I Know What You Did Last Summer - Shawn Mendez
Kissing Strangers - DNCE
Nothing Else Matters
Lesson 1
Pattern 1
Pattern 1a (named pattern2.png)
Lesson 2
Pattern 2 (named pattern3.png)
Lesson 3
2:45 - 3:22
Now we add a down on beat 4 and we have completed this pattern. This is probably the most used strum pattern of all time. So much so that the rest of the video has us work on speeding it up and using the same break down we did to learn it.
