- HOW TO Master Up Strums on Guitar ✅ Buy Lauren’s Guitar Course - laurenbatemanguitar.com/courseyt - Welcome to my beginner guitar lessons on how to master up strums on the guitar.

I’m going to show you how to work on your guitar strumming upstroke to make is easier to play and more relaxed so that you don’t feel like your strumming patterns are sharp and jerky.

How come no Boston accent? You look like an American Indian too? Just wondering?
For picks, I also like the Cat Tongue picks. The grip is a little finer so doesn't affect the "feel" of the pick if that makes sense.
Ooooo. Thanks for recommending those.
I struggled with up strums for a couple of months. Finally figured it out with how to hold my pick and let it glide over the strings correctly. Good lesson
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. Just today I came across your videos and I wish I had seen this year's ago!
Glad you found it now!
Great lesson on how to up strum. Love the way Lauren's lessons break things down into smaller pieces and takes you through the progression to the final result.
Heather, as always, you're welcome
Helpful thank you it was a aha moment when i realized i was rushing tje up strum. And that i already do it haha.. my only issue is that my down strums fell smooth no jerkyness in the pick but the upstrum feels like its tryna yank the pick out my hand.. so i tense up to keep it from getting oulled out my grip but that tenses my wrist and forearm.. little lost on this
You can do it!
Thank you this is great advice. I started trying to learn about 10 days ago now and your vids are my favourite 🎉
Yay! Thank you!
My bad habit is sitting back in a chair and I’m finding it’s throwing off my strumming… this lesson will help a lot!! Thanks for posting 😊
Happy to help!
Thanks, for the great lesson on up strums, Lauren! I never seem to hit as many strings on the up strum but I'll keep working on it!
You got this 😊
Great demonstration Lauren, thanks

U r great teacher.. i m beginner... I love to watch your video.... Lot's of love from India 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Great videos, thanks a lot!
My pleasure!
Thanks Lauren!
You're so welcome!
You inspire me. Have you addressed the proper way to hold a pick, hand position, arm position, etc.? I Travis pick, but I have completely neglected learning to strum properly.
I do this in the beginner lesson. On my channel I have a playlist for people getting started with guitar.
Hi Lauren, you are the best teacher for learning guitar. I have gone through 50 different channel for guitar tutorial but you the best among all. The way you explain is easy to understand for beginners and its really encouraging. It's just been few (6) months I have started learning guitar and after learning from you I can play open chords and play my favorite songs. But I still struggle with strumming pattern specially when the tempo of the song is slow. Now I've stated with fingerpicking style and it seems more difficult than stumming but probably it needs more practice. All your videos are so so helpful. Just wanted to thank you for the effort you put in each video. Will really appreciate if you could do more videos on barre chords, when to start and how to practice it. Specially for the people with small hands. Again, thank you so much. ✌ take care.
Timing is harder when songs are slower. Keep up the good work!
@@LaurenBateman I am so excited to get a reply from you Lauren!! 😊
Please do a short video on barre chords or if you could share something on your next live stream. Thanks thanks... Thank you. 😊
Lets upstrum this lesson. Great lesson. Thank you ✌
Glad you enjoyed the lesson 😊
Awesome technique - I went from taking 3 seconds to make a single chord to 4 chords in a second with this method.
Glad I was able to help 😊
Thanks😊
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Thank you!!!!❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Very Nice.. God Bless you...
Same to you 😊
Thank you very much🌹
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for posting this , i'm still struggling with up strums .
You're welcome
Thanks 😊

I carved out a circle a little bigger than a quarter out of elk antler, thinned it down to about 1/8" and with a rotary tool (I use a Foredom, which is like a Dremel on steroids without the uncontrolled aggression because of the foot actuated rheostat) on both sides carved a curve in the thickness about 1/4" from the edge all around with a 1/2" wood shaping ball, carved a nickel sized depression (pretty much) in the center deep enough to put a 3/8" hole in the center with the same tool, polished the outside edge but not the inside so there's a rough texture for my finger and thumb to get a gentle grip. It's solid enough to pick without the annoying click and it doesn't matter which direction I'm holding it because it's the same all around. It just doesn't fall out of my fingers or feel like I need to adjust it mid-strum. The picking edge is approximately the same (I just compared the two) as a dunlop 0.46 mm. And, like the acoustic guitar I just finished rebuilding with new stainless frets, new elk antler bridge and saddle and a tailpiece (so the belly bulge won't come back), tuned up with new Martin medium strings... I just need to learn how to use them!
I have two questions for you:
1) do you think I'd make more progress if I just stuck with one of my guitars? (as opposed to jumping back and forth between all five)
2) do you know "Lonesome Town"?
Thanks for all the lessons, really enjoy them.
Oh wow. That's cool!
Thanks lauren
Any time!
Really working on strums :)
Your so right your like a preacher your hitting me with all your sermons I picked up bad habits playing guitar your showing me my missteps lol 😂 your good
Rock on!
Hi Lauren, very interesting lesson I knew a bit about 8th note strumming and also could you do a lesson on scales and arpeggios. Keep up the great work. Darren pape😀
Great suggestion Darren! I'll try to add it to my list 😀
Simple May be ; but very effective ❗️awesome as always, Thanks.
You're welcome
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
Great lesson! I know most of the chords but the strumming always jams me up.
Keep practicing and you will master strumming in no time 😊
@@LaurenBateman Thanks for your encouragement!😊
Thx you so much now I can up strum
Glad I could help!
Another good one. I struggle with fluid up strums. Can you elaborate on how tightly you are holding the pick and the angle at which it strikes the strings, please? Are you holding it perpendicular (90 degrees) to the strings or slightly angled? And then during the strum is the pick pretty flat or do you angle the tip down to help it slip over the strings rather than getting caught on them?
There is a video that I go over this. I think it's titles, how to make your strumming sound better and the thumbnail is a photo of me holding a guitar pick.
Search my name + how to get better sounding strumming
Ver Good and helpful,
Thanks
Are you watching me how I practice haaaa.
Thanks again.
Thanks for am awesome lesson Lauren as always. Do we need to adjust the angle of the pick when coming up after a downstrum?
Yes, the angle does matter.
@@LaurenBateman thank you.
Lauren you are and angel!!!!Thank you my dog thanks you to she's my beat audience!!!
That you so much! What kind of dog do you have?
Great lesson, as always Lauren! Can you do a lesson on putting "swing" into strumming please? You mentioned swing in your "All My Loving" tutorial but I don't know what that is or is that too advanced 🤔
Yes, this is a shuffle rhythm. I go over this in my course and I feel like there is a blues lesson I go over it in. Search Lauren Bateman 12 Bar Blues Lesson and it's probably in that one.
@@LaurenBateman Thank you Lauren. That's great, I'll look into it. And a BIG thank you for taking the time to reply!!! I appreciate you must be really busy!
Thank u sis
Welcome 😊
It’s gonna b an “up” day today :) LB, ur the best :)
Thanks 😊
Ur Welcome LB …. Ur infectious spirit is always really what we need these days :) sorry for the lame pandemic pun :)
Thx..can you do a lesson on 8 &16th notes on downs and ups.
Sure. Search Lauren Bateman rhythm. Guitar series. I talk about 8th notes
Thank you 🙏. It's obvious that to go down you have to go up but for some reason my brain and strumming hand, are confused 🤔 as simple as it is 😅😅😅. I'll get it...🎉
You got this!
Nice lesson “ just relaaaaxx”.
Relaaaxxxx 😊😊😊
Great lesson. Challenge with these picks is that they're a bit too thick. I tend to use. 48 or. 60 when I strum on acoustics.
Yeah, it's a personal preference.
Think one point is missing here is ...the pick angle for down strum and up strum are different, the angle need to be pivoted when doing the up strum,this is one hurdle that I came across when doing up strumming.
My problem with strumming is that the pick moves between my fingers and I find the tighter I hold the pick, the harder I tend to strum....I therefore try and use a pick that has some sort of "grip" on it. Thank you for sharing and tutoring. Blessings from Kruger Park, South Africa.
Yes, those are the Max Grip pick I recommend from Dunlop.
@@LaurenBateman I'll have to shop around and see what I can get here, being so far out in the bush sometimes makes it difficult. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, shows that you read the comments and advise accordingly, that's why I follow you and take heed of your tutorials. Take care, blessings from the bush veld in SA.
Hi, I need help with the correct technique to hold the pick
Check out my video about holding guitar picks th-cam.com/video/qFKboL0An9A/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for a prompt response... Will follow your advice
can you talk about the angle of the pick as it moves over the strings in an up strum. Do you hit all the strings too? TIA
Not all the strings. Maybe bottom 3-4 ish. The pick is angled upward.
maybe do a rocksteady or ska tune which focuses on the 2nd beat upstrum, that might get people used to it and also help develop feeling, then they won't be anxious ? good vid as always!
Rock on. Great suggestion
@@LaurenBateman Oli Julian & Michael Prophet,
" When in Rome"👍
Yes girl. Upstrum. Finally someone said it
I found a slight angle change on ups was missing. Thanks
You're welcome
..I'm assuming this applies to fingerstyle strumming as well..?!? Thanks for this!
You are welcome 😊
how are you suppose to angle your pick when you do the up strum?
The fat part of the pick is angled upward while the pointed part is angled inward towards the guitar and slightly pointed down. Like this /
Thank you@@LaurenBateman
Well here's one for you I don't know if I'm the only one or not but when I'm trying to do the up strum and it finally catches I can't stop and then lose my down strum so what happens is I get one down strum and then all sudden I get four or five up strums before I can hit the down strum again, am I trying to hard 😂😂😂?
That's a new one. My best suggestion is to go super slow motion.
☺️👍👍
:)
Up strumming is definitely harder for me
It's harder for everyone.
Hahahahaha
Ur right it’s true
Miss Bateman,
Thanks again

Why does it sound like my pick is clicking on the strings ?
It could be because of the thickness. Thinner picks are very flexible but can sometimes have more noise to them.
Still not getting the up strums correctly. Doing up strums in a pattern, immediately throws off my rhythm and playing. I'm working on it though. My old habits are dying hard.
You can do it!
