Easy Strumming Patterns For Learners

As we all know, Strumming, is a hard thing to master - but a few simple exercises and techniques to help people through, i thought, would be an excellent topic.

When People Talk about exercises on the guitar they tend to shy away / come off that site quickly beacuse they want to learn fast complex things when they have only picked up a guitar, but let me give you a chunk of advice - NEVER EVER STOP PRACTICING! , this is a soul thing when playing on any instrument, ask any pro; they will all agree.

Anyway, back to my subject, Strumming Patterns - love them hate them, gotta' learn them

Here are a few that have helped me (letters in brackets are represented chords)

                   (G)                                       (D)
