Level #3 - Combination Patterns


OK everyone, hope the earlier exercises are still going well, because these ones are harder again. The good news is that after this level, there isn't much more to go before you can strum along with ANY song, instantly, first time, without having to learn the strumming pattern or practice it or anything like that...

LEVEL #3 EXERCISE

Learn to play the three rhythms in the attached pdf. Ghosted strums are in grey. Patterns a, b, and c are labeled. Listen to the attached audio files to hear how they sound. Again, try playing along, and focus on the swing of your arm and the rhythm, not the down and up strums. Sometimes you'll be ghosting two strums in a row, so it's extra important to keep swinging. If you lose it, KEEP TIME until you're comfortable.

So, just like last lesson, go listen to the audio, and play along (there will be a 'bing' on every '1'). Remember to KEEP TIME, SAY IT, PLAY IT. These are harder, so stick with it!
