How To Sound Better Strumming Guitar - Forget Patterns!

In this video, I am going to show you how to sound better strumming guitar. Strumming patterns are not the answer. If you want to sound good strumming guitar, don’t focus on patterns, rather focus on the sound you are getting instead.

In this lesson, I show you 3 ways you can achieve a better guitar strumming sound.

- Guitar Strumming Approach 1: Dynamics

When strumming guitar, you do not strum all the strings, all the time. This makes for a very bland and flat strumming sound with absolutely no dynamic to it. You must accent certain parts of the beat by targeting different strings when strumming.

- Guitar Strumming Approach 2: Palm Muting

You will learn how to use palm muting to create nice dynamics with your strumming. Like targeting strings, this allows certain beats to be accented, bringing much shape to your strumming.

- Guitar Strumming Approach 3: Percussive Strums

You will also learn how to bring a groove to your strumming with the percussive strumming technique. This is achieved with percussive hits on beats 2 and 4 of each bar as you strum.

In this video, I show you how to do all this.
