Re: new player!!! HELP

best advice is to keep practicing,lol, sorry.

You could also try playing along to some easy songs and try to imitate the strumming patterns, i.e. house of rising sun, knocking on heavens dooor.

and lots lots more, any that the guitar is vert clear to hear, try getting a hold of some songs that are done just with an acoustic guitar,





Good luck


Ken

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

You also need to tap your feet when you're strummin! Most pros will tell you that it's the best way to stay on beat and develop the rhythm for strummin!
