First Rhythms

Down-strums in time

Lesson 7 of 88 min

One relaxed down-strum on every beat.

Video coming soon

[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]

Let your strumming arm swing loosely from the elbow, and keep the motion steady even when you miss a string.

Count "1, 2, 3, 4" out loud and land each strum right on the click.

Practice

Suggested: 4 minutes

[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]

Strum down once per beat on a single chord for two minutes, staying with the metronome.

Keep practicing this one. Marking the lesson complete means you've worked through it, not that you've mastered it.
