Hello 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!

Hey Rob. This is a great lesson. Ill be working it for the weekend and beyond. I do wish you would consider playing each sections strum pattern through 3 -4 times. I for one feel i could grasp it better if i can feel you strumming through more than one time each.I hope this makes sense. Most importantly please don not take this in a negative criticizing way. I respect and appreciate your teaching.

My struggle is getting the strum pattern going more than one bar. we I play the individual notes I lose my pattern.

rob. 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.

Hey 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

Hey Ethan, I do recommend that you alternate your picking, though you may find yourself performing consecutive downstrokes after hammer ons and pull offs.

Hey Rob. Did I miss something? cant find the practice routine, you show in the video, in the PDF.. :)

Hello Rob, I believe there is a typo on the pdf: shouldn't the 4th beat of the first bar of the practice routine be two eight notes instead of two quarter notes?
