Essential Rhythm Guitar Trick - Combine Fills & Strumming Patterns!
Added 2020-10-30 21:52:38 +0000 UTCHello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another beginner friendly rhythm guitar lesson. In today's session I've broken down the essential technique of combining basic strumming patterns with melodic fills built from open position major scales. This concept is often employed in folk, bluegrass, country and pop music to embellish common chord progressions. Let's get started!

Thanks for catching that, not sure how that happened. I'll fix it right away. Be well!

2020-12-01 21:36:51 +0000 UTCWhoops! Looks like I posted the wrong file. I’ll fix this ASAP. Thanks for the heads up.

2020-11-01 17:37:30 +0000 UTCHey Ethan, I do recommend that you alternate your picking, though you may find yourself performing consecutive downstrokes after hammer ons and pull offs.
2020-10-31 23:25:03 +0000 UTCHey James, great tip, I'll keep that in mind for my follow up. Glad you're enjoying this lesson, I love teaching these foundational techniques. Have fun! -Rob
2020-10-31 23:22:35 +0000 UTCrob. do you recommend alternate picking for these exercises? does that depend on my goals? or does it matter? i myself have just been playing a few months.
