A Guide to Guitar Strumming Patterns

By Payo W Perry

When learning guitar theres often an imbalance between learning chords and learning guitar strumming patterns, ultimately this will lead to feelings frustration for the beginner further on down the road.

Its true that some people are able to simply use their ear as be able to accurately reproduce guitar strumming patterns heard on records but for the majority this is not so easy and a more detailed how to approach is necessary.

One of the most important facts to realize about guitar strumming patterns is that you dont need a unique strum for each song. Guitar strumming patterns are able to be universal and a set of 3 strums can open the door to playing 1000s of songs.

Another consideration is the pick you use. Your aim should be to produce a smooth and even sound for each one of your guitar strumming patterns and to this end a pick of .60mm is the ideal choice. Its got enough resistance against the strings to produce volume without being harsh.

Thirdly the tension in your wrist is extremely important. I have had many students where the problems experienced in guitar strumming patterns were all to do with their wrist. Unfortunately they had a natural tendency to hold their wrist very rigid instead of loose and easy, this fact translated directly into a harsh and abrasive sound. It also felt harder to them to play guitar because of the resistance against the strings.

Learning to strum guitar online can be a bit treacherous! There appears to be a great deal of just plain bad instruction out there on the subject and you could find that you suffer the unfortunate fate of things seeming harder that they should be. Whatever method or site you choose, make sure that the guitar strumming patterns are simple, universal and useful in the real world. Dont waste energy learning strumming patterns youll never really use!

If youre able to get some universal guitar strumming patterns down from the very beginning, its going to make the journey so much more rewarding and enjoyable. - 18418

The Three Electric Guitar Effects That Will Help You Sound Your Best

By Matt Rushton

One of the biggest advantages of playing the electric guitar is its ability to create different and unique sounds. Because you are using electricity to create the sound that you hear it gives you the ability to manipulate the electrical signal the guitar creates. Today Im going to write about the three most common electric guitar effect pedals.

The first effect I want to talk about is the Overdrive, or Distortion pedal. These pedals add a warmth and thickness to the sound of your electric guitar. They do this by clipping and compressing the original guitar signal.

There are many types of distortion pedals available on the market today. You can get everything from light Overdrive style distortion to heavy Fuzz type distortion. Whether youre playing Rock-N-Roll, Heavy Metal or even Country a Distortion pedal is an effect you must have in your collection.

The second most important pedal to have in your collection is the Delay Pedal. A delay pedal works by taking your original guitar signal and repeating it at a set interval after the original signal. The signal can have as many repeats as you want to create many types of echo effect.

Having a delay pedal in your effect arsenal will give you the ability to add depth to your sound. You can also use a delay effect set to longer delay settings for creating complex, layered harmonies. All types of musical genres use delay effects.

The third pedal that you should have in your collection is the Chorus Pedal. The Chorus effect is created by taking your guitars signal and modulating it then combining the modulated signal with the original one. This creates the illusion of two separate instruments playing together, hence the term Chorus.

Guitarists use the Chorus effect to thicken the sound of their guitar. When a stereo chorus effect is used the spatial separation of the signals can give a lush, full sound to the electric guitar. Chorus effects are used in every type of music played on electric guitar.

At some point in their development, all guitarists begin to search for more sounds for their instrument. Guitar effect pedals offer an easy and affordable way to increase your tonal pallette. That's why I recommend Delay, Chorus and Distortion as your top three choices for getting your effects collection going. - 18418
