Strumming: Lesson 2 - Simple vs Syncopated | Tom Strahle | Basic Guitar | Easy Guitar

Thanks for keeping it real.

What great timing!! I’m actually working (85bpm) on this strumming pattern so your video comes at the perfect time! I really do appreciate you making these beginners video. As a middle aged new guitarist I find your videos very helpful. Your tips about rolling or palm muting a strum is something I wouldn’t have thought of! Thanks again for doing these videos!!

Thank you for the lesson. :-)

Very well explained. Interesting also... how you make your Em chord with your 1st & 2nd fingers.

Crazy how much of a difference it makes just to change how fast or slow you play 😳 love love it!

VERY helpful

I'm overwhelmed with the metronome choices!  I'm not asking for any endorsements but do you think the Boss DB-30c can get the job done for a beginner?  :-)  I just want to strum the night away thanks to you!

Thank you! Straight to the point and the play-a-long at the end was so very helpful for this new player. Consider me subscribed!

This is the easiest explanation of syncopation that i have ever seen. Thanks for the great video !

Thanks Tom! I really appreciate your time and talent in putting these videos together. G B Y!!

Your fingering for the (Em) is efficiently in position to move to the G chord. Finger one remains.Using fingers 2 & 3 would both need to be moved to move to the G or other similarly positioned chords. 👍

What is (D) mean?

Truly grateful for your gracious videos. I live in Egypt, thousands of miles away from where you are. Your videos seem a prayer come true. I’m an older beginner.

Thanks Tom

Thanks Tom for your videos They are of great help for a wannabe guitarist Like your teaching style keep them coming Please

Hi Tom, I really appreciate your videos. I'm afraid I'm not only an absolute beginner but I'm also a very slow learner and I'm finding you skip subjects like from strumming to the type or thickness of the pick and I get completely lost! That's not on you but completely on me! I just have a bit of a learning disability. Do you know of anywhere there are lessons based on just one thing at a time? I understood the piece in skipping the downward strum but it was too quick for me to play along with and concentrate on. I apologise - it's just a bit of sensory overload.

Thank you!

Best explanation of syncopation 🙌🏾
