3/4 & 6/8 Rhythms | Strumming Patterns

Garret's Guitar Lessons

Strumming in 3/4 has the same basic principles has in 4/4, strum down on the numbers (1 2 3) and up on the and's (+'s)! For 6/8, just double 'em and you'll be good. The way I number them (Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2, etc.) are just a way to ensure we're talking about the same strumming pattern. Be sure to keep the numbers consistent!
