    nena I just feel the necessity to say that your diction is perfect, I'm not a native english speaker and it's really great to watch your videos and understand everything that you're saying. also thank you for this video, I'm a beginner and I learned how to play guitar by myself, so it was very helpful :)

    I think strumming is more important than chords and all that stuff and the main thing I follow your tutorials is because of your easiest strumming patterns. People actually go to guitar classes but because of pandemic, I literally learnt my first song in just 15 days. Its super beginner and I suggest you all to follow this channel. Thanks nena. You are like my sister😃😃

  • @thealtidkid5857

    another tip: while strumming, for eg: in the first strum pattern, you stop your hand after each first down, but you should keep moving it up and down. So: keep your hand moving up and down continuously, but hit the strings according to the strum pattern. This really helps and strumming seems more "flowy"

    • @aylinasmusic
      @aylinasmusic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree. My progress stagnated until I got to know about this tip. Only then I was able to strum more complex patterns while singing along.

    I started playing guitar in January and at first it was really hard to do strumming patterns and it sounded horrible hahah I was so frustrated but I just kept practicing and right now is easier, of course I’m not like super good at different techniques but I do some of them by memory, and I just remember how i started and realized that practice is everything.!
    And this video was very helpful even that I’m not like a super begginer.(but of course I still have a lot of things to learn)
    and thanks to you i have learned a lot, like palm muting and some picking(picking its really hard for me but im gonna keep practicing) and strumming patterns for my songs hahah

    Hey Nena, just have to say your tutorials are awesome! I’ve been playing for over 40 years, including gigging at bars, etc., and I like to keep myself grounded in the basics by watching You Tubes like yours. Your vids are so clear and concise and I’ve really polished some bad habits by watching you. Thank you!!!

    @sandpiper_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I don't ever follow along with provided strum patterns, I just sorta invent my own and what I think sounds right and it ends up fine. It's easier for me to do strumming patterns by ear and just sorta messing around.

    • @thebeachyblonde
      @thebeachyblonde 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Okay so far this!!! This is sort of what I’m doing too- I was learning a few songs from Andy Guitar and I noticed that while I would start with the pattern, as the song progressed I found myself just strumming to the rhythm and what my “ear” thought was best, just going with the flow of the song. I didn’t know if that was technically like an OK thing to do lol, but it works for now I guess🤷‍♀️. I would consider myself pretty musically inclined - choir throughout school and piano lessons for 7 years- just a very beginner guitar player 😄. Glad to see I’m not the only one that does this! Lol

  • @JenniferIacino
    @JenniferIacino 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Nena! 🥰 I have a basic question: when you explain the first strumming pattern, it’s written DUDU DUDU DDU, but *verbally* (full measure way) you explain/play
    D UDUD UDUD DU (the half measure explanation/play seems to match the written pattern). Am I missing something? And is there a reason you don’t consider these to be different strumming patterns? Not trying to call you out at all, I adore you and your channel! I just watched this video when I first started back in Jan or Feb, and remember being a little confused about something, lol…now that I’m a little more experienced (and yet *still struggling* with holding to a set pattern! lol), I finally noticed this slight difference. In general, I seem to feel more comfortable playing a “non-specific pattern pattern” ??? 😆 …likely downstrumming, with some other pattern added (just sound lazy to me, lol)… sheesh! 🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙇‍♀️😜

  • @thebeachyblonde
    @thebeachyblonde 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question about picking and the arpeggio- are you starting at the bass that is part of the chord or just like the low E? I noticed when you switched from the G to Cadd9, you mentioned that a bit- so is that for all chords? Like say Em- would my first pick be on the A(then D) or still E? What if I’m picking a D chord? Then for the arpeggio- do you do it ONLY with the strings that are being used for the chords? Ugh I hope I’m hoping this is making sense lol..
    I’m only 6 days into learning guitar- former piano player- and I’m so far teaching myself, hoping to start lessons in September.
    I’m sure I’ll get those questions answered as I continue along my journey but I figured I’d ask you first :) I am loving all of your Taylor Swift tutorials, I am a huge fan of hers and I’m so excited I’m finally setting time to learn how to play so I can hopefully get to where I’m singing and playing! Thanks so much!!
