Welcome to this Jam Track Lesson where we are playing a chord progression of G, D, Am & C using the 16th strumming pattern: D D D DU
We make this all sound very professional by strumming the thicker strings louder on the accented beats 2 and 4 but also noticeably quieter on every strum in-between by hitting those thinner strings.
Strumming Tips
Struggling with the rhythm?
Go back to 8ths all downs so you can still jam along!
Concentrate on the accent of beats 2 and 4
Try add in 1 up-strum on the 8ths all down pattern around the '4 - & - a -' this will be the count of 1 - & - 2 - & - 3 - & - 4 - & - a -
