More Guitar Lessons: www.johnclarkemusic.com This is part 2 of the strumming pattern lessons for “The Most Evolved” song. In the last video the pattern was down-up-down-up…. In this less I show the following strum pattern: DOWN-DOWN-Up-Down-up…. The duration of the first down stroke lasts twice as long as the rest of the stokes in the pattern. Remember use a metronome and practice “up and down strumming” at different tempos. Practice quarter notes, eighth notes and then strumming 16th notes at 60 80 and 100 beats per minute. -John April 14, 2008

Remember use a metronome and practice “up and down strumming at different tempos. Practice quarter notes and work your way up to strumming 16th notes at 100 beats per minute. -John April 12, 2008 www.JohnClarkeMusic.com/store
