[...] Update: Lots of Guitar Strumming Patterns for Practice – Part 1 [...]
I am a big fan of urs. I used to learn guitar but due to some reasons, i had to leave.But i really want to learn guitar chords.From few days, i am learning them through ur site.
I need ur help.Can u help me how can we judge the pattern of chords for different songs?
Can u send me the some songs as an example of each strumming pattern to my Id mittal.saloni@yahoo.com?
or if u have any video or audio of urs playing the chords of each pattern.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT.
COZ ONLY U R MY GUITAR TEACHER NOW.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE.
To judge the rhythm, you need to listen the song carefully. To judge the chord pattern will require time and practice. You need to train your ear by listening to lots of music and remembering how each chord sounds. It will come with regular and serious practice… nothing to hurry!
Even if I listed the songs for which these strumming patterns apply, it won’t be of much use. The important thing is to be able to practice these patterns and use them in whichever song you wanna play.
I have replied u 3 times before but it seems not to be working. This is my 4th time I’m leaving my reply.
First of all thank u very very much for replying n guiding me.
U said that u can’t teach anyone.But really,”U R MY TEACHER”
In fact I would rather say ” U R MY ROLE MODEL”
As I’m going to become an eng. n u r an eng.,I just love to play guitar a lot n u r a master in that, I have so much interest in doing all this computer work n u r a master in that too.
U r really extraordinary.
HATS OFF TO U.
Please don’t think that I’m lying or flirting or buttering.
THIS ALL IS CENT PERCENT TRUE.
I SWEAR.
THIS ALL IS TOTALLY TRUE.
Ok, I wanted to ask u that I don’t have any problem in playing LEAD(I even got the BEST GUITARIST AWARD by RAJASTHAN PATRIKA)
But don’t know the ABCD of chords and trying to learn it through ur sites.
So can u suggest me any site on which all the details related to chords r provided?
(Means all those which r required by a begginer.)
In which all the basic informations like-what all types of chords r, which finger to keep on which string while playing which chord, how to strike the strings while playing particular chords,etc. is given in detail.
Do u think I would be able to learn the CHORDS through net?
PLEASE HELP ME OUT.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE.
