How to add WALK-DOWNS to your STRUMMING (Key of C)
Get my PDF chord sheet for this lesson @ songnotes.net/...
Hello friends! Today I want to answer a question about combining walkdowns & strumming, sent in by Patreon supporter Gary (thanks for your support!). Specifically, Gary wrote in asking about the Bob Seger song Still The Same, where during the pre-chorus and chorus sections, Seger is strumming G for two full measures -- and at the same time, he's playing a descending run of bass-notes that feels part of the strumming. Gary asked how Seger is doing this, and in this video I'll give an answer -- tabs included!
I'll also show 3 additional tabs (available in my Patreon PDF for this lesson), where I show how this exact same principle can be used in slightly different contexts. Taken together, I hope these examples will help you understand why this technique works so well -- and empower you to use it in your own playing.
Other lessons I've made that use this technique:
Wild World by Cat Stevens (Lesson #282)

Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel (Lesson #51)

I’ve Just Seen a Face by The Beatles (Lesson #298)

Great lesson! You have a knack for teaching guitar that really helps me accelerate my guitar learning curve.
Beginner to intermediate (sounds) almost overnight. Really nice job. Thank you.
Thanks David. Great lesson
This is probably the best channel I have found for acoustic lessons. Wish I found out about you sooner
Fantastic! Practical, musical, and extremely well presented so that plodders, like me, can follow along. Thank you for the excellent, applicable lesson that you hear in a lot of music. This will really help me to improve my playing with a pick and/or my thumb use, on bass notes, while strumming. This is a significant skill builder, in my opinion. Thanks again!
Great lesson. Bob Seger one of the greatest musicians ever. Thanks.
WOW You are a very good teacher. Very very clearly explained !
Thx Gary. Great question, Lv your videos.
Thank you for the lesson - showing how to use correct struming.
Jimmy Page does this at the beginning of Stairway to Heaven. The Dave Clark 5 use it in Because. And Les Paul uses this in the intro and ending of How High The Moon. Great video.
super video and very informative....Thanks David
How did you go so long without ever hearing that song he like one of the most awesomeness musicians ever the man is a genius😁
Killer lesson. Thank you!
Very cool. Thank you.
Someday soon, gonna get this... someday soon.
Excellent vidéo ! Well done !!
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Mr Bo Jangles is another great song to “evaluate” the chords/walks, also.
you are one of my favorites if not my favorite
great lesson!
Well how bout that. Something I can actually understand AND apply! New sub here!
Great stuff!
Awesome great music song. Great guitar 🎸
Your made-up exercise at 11:30 does sound like "Blowin in the Wind," but it reminded me of "Dangling Conversations" by Simon and Garfunkel. Cool! :)
Awesome lesson, and I always love how your PDFs look. What do you use to put them together?
Thank you. Greatv
Hi There! Is John Prines "In Spite Of Ourselves" still coming? learned the basic intro picking with one of your lessons a while ago. thx David!
Thank you!:)
Hey man I was wondering if you could do ballad of a law abiding sophisticate by Colter Wall? I love all your videos man and you have taught me a lot!
This is great. Any way you can explain the theory behind this though, so I can apply it to other keys? Thanks! Happy thanksgiving
In Key C I play ending with G - G# - Bb- G - C
David - please.. for my 6 year old daughter: Maisy Stella - Riding Free! .. with the super correct strumming pattern. I would be so thankful!!
Great lesson! Thanks so much! :)
just a little fast for me, thanks
Great lesson, on another note, can I sign up for your lessons etc, by contributing $36.00 for the year?
