Essential Rhythm Guitar Trick - Combine Fills & Strumming Patterns!
🕑 Added 2020-10-30 21:52:38 +0000 UTCHello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another beginner friendly rhythm guitar lesson. In today's session I've broken down the essential technique of combining basic strumming patterns with melodic fills built from open position major scales. This concept is often employed in folk, bluegrass, country and pop music to embellish common chord progressions. Let's get started!

Thanks for catching that, not sure how that happened. I'll fix it right away. Be well!
Hello Rob, I believe there is a typo on the pdf: shouldn't the 4th beat of the first bar of the practice routine be two eight notes instead of two quarter notes?
Whoops! Looks like I posted the wrong file. I’ll fix this ASAP. Thanks for the heads up.
Hey Rob. Did I miss something? cant find the practice routine, you show in the video, in the PDF.. :)
Hey Ethan, I do recommend that you alternate your picking, though you may find yourself performing consecutive downstrokes after hammer ons and pull offs.
Hey James, great tip, I'll keep that in mind for my follow up. Glad you're enjoying this lesson, I love teaching these foundational techniques. Have fun! -Rob

rob. do you recommend alternate picking for these exercises? does that depend on my goals? or does it matter? i myself have just been playing a few months.
My struggle is getting the strum pattern going more than one bar. we I play the individual notes I lose my pattern.
Hey Rob. This is a great lesson. Ill be working it for the weekend and beyond. I do wish you would consider playing each sections strum pattern through 3 -4 times. I for one feel i could grasp it better if i can feel you strumming through more than one time each.I hope this makes sense. Most importantly please don not take this in a negative criticizing way. I respect and appreciate your teaching.
