Have you ever noticed in Shane’s lessons, he can play a few bars and we hear the song right away. This lesson tells us why , just an extraordinary sense of rhythm. So much talent no doubt but also hard work over many years . We are lucky to have him sharing his techniques and love of the instrument. It always comes through. Thxs Shane.
Thank you so much Rick - really makes my day to receive a comment like yours. I always have fun making these videos and am very glad you enjoy them. My best to you! Shane
yes - blessed to have a great instructor
Thank you. Would appreciate continuing to do additional strumming videos. As a retired band director I love the
"walk-a-chick-en" for 16th notes. Will add that to the list 🙂
Fabulous - thanks for that and glad you enjoyed. More coming for sure. Best to you and keep walking the chicken! Shane
So many little jewels in this lesson - a lot more than the title would suggest. This is so helpful to those of who are rhythm impaired. Thanks!
Thank you Frank - much appreciated! Shane
A great “right hand” is a gift and YOU have it. You and James James have the best strumming on the web!
Thank you Shawn - very kind of you. I enjoy James too. Cheers, Shane
I think he's one of best online teachers I've seen, maybe the best. Justin is very good too. It shows a great drill and really demonstrates that rythmic ability can definitely be learned for those that don't have it so much naturally. Well done Shane, thankyou! a great drill. 😊
Thank you Simon - very much appreciated. Glad to have you here with us. Cheers. Shane
You have come perilously close to persuading me that I need a BeatBuddy. This is a great lesson. Thanks.
Thank you Kevin - hope you grab one. They’re a ton of fun. Cheers! Shane
Sean, great drills. You’re a great teacher. Thanks for everything you do.
Thank you Tommy - very encouraging. My best to you and thanks for being here! Shane
Thank you for sharing such amazing lessons. I have definitely noticed a big difference in my playing experience since following your lessons. I’m looking forward to playing my first live show. A bit nervous but I’ll have your voice reminding me of what to watch out for. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Very glad to hear these videos have helped you - I appreciate you taking the time to write. My very best to to you at your first live show! Shane
I’m a beginner lefty bought me a inexpensive acoustic guitar. I have watched many TH-cam channels and videos of lessons and lyrics and chords. By far your channel is my favorite! Thank you for inspiring me to learn how to play the guitar.
A big thank you for that. Happy to have you here with us! Shane
I've been looking around for a guy to teach me how to strum with a pick and you're the best I've found and I will stick with your lessons. I always played with just my hands and I am just starting to force myself to learn how to use a pic... the trouble has been holding on to it without having it fall inside the guitar hole. I decided to start learning how to hold the pick and get used to it. I like the way you taught your first lesson, I followed along and made me subscribe and give you a big thumbs up😊
Excellent - very glad to have you here with us. My best to you! Shane
Thanks for all these videos, Brazil students loves you!
Thank you so much Adriel - very glad to have you here with us! Shane
Badly needed this, thanks so much Shane👍
Glad to hear that Deborah - I hope it helps you and it's a bit of fun to boot. Cheers! Shane
Thank you so much, Shane! This really helped me fill in some gaps. I thought it would just help with strumming and you ended up helping me tweak a few other problem areas as well! Love your lessons!
That’s SO great Kimberly. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Happy to have you here with us and let’s have some fun with it. Cheers!
Shane
How timely, just got back last night from a wonderful trip to southern Italy, so back to guitar practicing.
Super! Welcome home Johnny and K - hope it was an amazing trip! Shane
Love the lesson. Going back to the basics of rhythm guitar strumming is much needed.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed! Shane
You 🎉Rhythm . This is guitar 🎸 Medicine
Very nice exercise. Thank you.
Thank you Michael - glad you enjoyed! Shane
Hi Shane. Thanks AGAIN for a great lesson. We so appreciate the work you put in.
Glad you’re enjoying - have fun with it! Shane
This was actually fun to go through 👏 thank you. Gonna be doing this often
Thanks for that - glad you enjoyed. Cheers! Shane
Another awesome lesson! So very grateful!🙏🎸
A big thank you for that - glad you enjoyed! Shane
I am left handed but watching you vids is working. 😊
Excellent. Thanks Steven - you might as well get used to learning from right-handed players as they are the overwhelming majority. You quickly learn to do the translation. Cheers, Shane
😎
Great lesson as always Shane, have to master the basics!
Thank you Bud - always glad to hear from you - hope you’re doing well. Shane
Hey Shane, hope you're well my friend. Been offline for a while as we've had lots going on here this past year. Back now and have dusted the 'geetars' off and signed up on Patreon again - perfect timing with this strumming session - awesome tuition as always - walk that chicken!
Nick! So great to hear from you lad - happy to hear you’re playing again. Let me know if you have any questions. My best to you all over there, Shane
Great video. I'll be playing along with this one a lot.
Thanks Steve - that’s great news. Cheers! Shane
Great exercise! And so much fun to do it with you. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Karolina - have fun with it! Shane
Great lesson…appreciate it.
Where is the lake 🎉mate. I enjoyed that video as well as this one. A good change up.. I hope all is well in your world Shane. 🍻 cheers mate.
A big thank you Russ - you’re incredibly on top of things. Last strumming video was at a cottage. It persists as a worthy topic for sure.
Hope you’re well as can be. Shane
Left likes strumming hand and fretting hand
Hey Glen - I totally get that - but with guitar, you’re stuck in a right-handed world more often than not. Be sure you can do the conversion in real time or you might fell behind. Cheers,
Shane
Great Stuff. Thank you brother
Brilliant Shawn, fantastic for timing etc.
Thanks Peter - glad you enjoyed. Shane
Awsome teacher
Thank you Mike! So fun to be doing this! Shane
Thank You Maestro ❤️
Thank you Yasmin - hope you have fun with it! Shane
Wow this really helped me! Thanks😊
Very glad - thank you! Shane
Thanks Shane.
Thank you Riki - hope you have fun with this one. Cheers, Shane
Incredibly helpful. Crystal clear teaching skills. Thank you very much.
Awesome Shane! This really helped me! I had a breakthrough moment when you blended 8th with 16th pattern. I never thought I could do that. Thanks a ton, sir!
Amazing, thank you 😊
Thank you Tim - glad you enjoyed. Cheers! Shane
Hello from St. John's Newfoundland! Nice exercise, thanks. I'm a longtime player but really working on the right hand these days.
Dig that lesson, such a great focus on timing. A great strumming timing exercise. I dig these exercises, it sharpens your right hand, which always suffers after a long break away from playing...
Thank you 🎸thank you 🎸thank you🎸This is soooooo! !!!! Valuable. Important!!!!! . Love that walk the chicken 🐔
Simple but important to practice. I will
This lesson in strumming is so valuable. I tend to hold the pic too harshly. This lesson might solve my problem. If my eighth note strumming is uneven, then I'm going to rush when I go to play a song like Wonderwall for example.
I'm gonna make a Tshirt "rhythm impared but not forever thanks to Shane and Beat Buddy", lol
Taping your Big Foot help,s a lot too.
Hi Shane I engage to your videos well❤.
Thank you Triv - I really appreciate that. My best to you! Shane
Thank You. Really appreciate your videos.
Could you please record a video showing the correct strumming for BE MY BABY by The Ronettes?
Thank you Bill - glad to hear you're enjoying - happy to have you here with us and thanks for the song suggestion. I'll have a listen. Cheers, Shane
All that strumming on the G reminded me of Pink Houses by John Cougar Mellencamp.
So now I have to go work on that. Luckily I know a great TH-cam guitar teacher who has released a pair of videos, one that teaches the technique and one that lets you play along... 🙂
I just wish I could switch from the G chord to the C chord with any kind of reliability or speed. My fingers stumble all over each other in that switch. Literally have to do one finger at a time. Very frustrating.
Any possibility of your making a video about chord *change* techniques? I can play any chord you show us, but it's the switching between them that often flubs me up.
A big thank you for that - great ideas and suggestions. Have fun with it! Shane
I assume the Beat Buddy is going through an amp ? Is there any recommendation ( for us with just an unamplified acoustic) for a similar app for an iPad / phone or computer?
Your videos are always clean and your repetition of steps make your lessons achievable for us “not natural musicians”. Many thanks from an elder Australian guitar player/ learner.
Thanks for that - glad you’re enjoying. The BeatBuddy is plugged into a little mixer here and the mixer goes out into two small speakers. You could also plug the BeatBuddy straight into a small amp as well.
Cheers,
Shane
Another great lesson as always. What model Taylor is that?
Thank you Dan - glad you enjoyed. I’m using a Taylor 814CE (2019). Cheers! Shane
@@GuitarAtWork thanks Shane. Sounds gorgeous.
Hi Shane, just got myself a beat buddy. What settings are you using in this lesson? Great channel btw.
Fabulous - the BeatBuddy is a ton of fun. Use the Blues 1 pattern at 76 bpm. Cheers, Shane
I am way older than most beginners. I have just started working on strumming technique and speed. How much control is in arm vs wrist? I see strummers wrist moving a lot, mine doesn't. Can you offer any advice....
Great question indeed. It varies from person to person - but generally speaking, anchor your right arm just below your elbow on the guitar. Then strum with a combination of forearm and wrist. Hope helpful. Cheers, Shane
Thanks for your videos. Hoping you will give us Chris Rea’s “Road to Hell”
Thanks John. Glad you’re enjoying. Great song suggestion! Shane
When I was trying to learn "if I had a hammer" which strums rather quickly I started holding my pic sideways to enable me to brush over the strjngs quickly, seems like could never strum quickly with the pointed end of the pick brushing the strings, am i missing an important technique?
I know your playing a taylor brand, but can you tell me what model guitar you have? I really like it and am looking to buy a Taylor soon
Sure thing Mark - it’s an 814CE (2019). Cheers, Shane
What would you suggest you she get with a beat buddy.(what does it lay threw . Don't want to go too crazy) Home use only. Have modelling amp. Need a separate amp ? Board etc.
Ideally a small mixer. 4 or 6 channel so you have some room to expand later on. A pair of small, powered speakers to connect to mixer and you’re in business. You can plug it directly into an amp if you have to - but better in stereo through a mixer. Cheers, Shane
While strumming my pick always started to rotate in my fingers. Could you touch on how to help fix this?
Sir,temple of the king ..lesson pls tq
👌😉
Thanks Peter! Shane
Great as always except for my heart attack every time the Taylor comes within a half inch of the corner of the desk😥
Ha! You’re not the first to mention that - I’ll move over a bit next time. Cheers, Shane
Question Shane: been playing for yrs...no lessons....still can't play without looking...always felt I should have started playing by being blindfolded...have you ever recommended that?
Hi Erik, great question. We should eventually be able to switch chords without looking (for the most part at least….except for big position shifts where you’re jumping multiple frets). Give it a go with some of your easiest chords. And, if you make a mistake try to keep strumming and ‘fix it on the fly’. We all need to get used to doing that. Cheers, Shane
I can’t play with a pick, always ends up on the floor or in the sound hole 😢
Gotcha. Hard to hang onto it.
