Strumming 1 (Read Below First)
Chord Sheet 2 Used - Print Here
Use the videos below to practice your chord changes and strumming patterns. There are 2 different worksheets I use in these videos (both are available above to print if you don’t have them). The chords are written right next to each progression, so you could also just write them down to follow along. In addition, you can also follow along with the tablature on the screen.
If you have trouble switching every chord, then only play every other chord. This will help you start getting up to speed with your changes. Make sure you have fun and also really focus on making the chords ring out clearly. You need to spend A LOT of time working on this. Don’t simply dismiss this as unimportant - That would be a HUGE mistake.
