Re: struming help...please.

This was my biggest problem as well your not alone!
There are some great videos on youtube and there free.
search beginner guitar and you will see lots of stuff.
Also if you have the cd's put them on and play along with your favorites
Very important to play the songs that you know and love
Remember: practice practice practice, and also remember why you started playing.
Cheers

Re: struming help...please.

stphnmc,

Hello friend,

(Excuse my poor English)
I had the same trouble.  My way to win, was.

1-Begin to practice another strum, and repeat and repeat the structure, the movements, altough they soun bad, and altough You do it very slow, it doesn't matter, but, do the structure the right way.  1 or 2 days later, it will sound better, and the speed will be better.
2-Practice without guitar, and practice mentally, in every place.
You will surprised the progress

I You will reply this post.
Good bye
