Hi Thetrainer858 here, I am not competant enough to write the patterns down but try experimenting with the rhythm. I sing the songs normally but have a steady strum in the background. Thanks for the compliment regarding the easy playing capability of my songbook. Best regards.

I love to play guitar to keep my older brain active and my fingers flexible. I have about 1 year experience 20+ times…lol.

Re: SIMPLE SONGS PUT UP BY THETRAINER858

Hey there rallyman.  :-)   We're all beginners when we start. Mom told me to start out with a basic "carter style strum".----- bassnote-strum-bassnote-strum----- for 4 count songs and a -------bassnote-strum-strum-------- for a waltz or 3 count..  hope it helps. Then again,maybe your beyond this already? You can add upstrokes in lots of places too.
