How to strum an Ample Sound VST (programming for beginners !)
Hi guys ! If you are a beginner in guitar programming, this video will show you how to strum an AmpleSound VST. We will program a simple pattern with a nice chord progression.
As some of you asked me in the comments or in private message if I could do courses for beginners, I hope this one will help you to familiarize yourself with the strummer interface of your guitar VST.
I'm going to use Ample Guitar Martin, but you can follow the course with the free guitar VST plugin AGML2 - or any other plugin designed by AmpleSound.
To begin, we are going to use a very common chord progression in country and pop music : a B minor, a B minor 7, an A major and a G major.
Then, we will design the strum pattern, adjust velocities to add emphasis and program chord switches in MIDI.
I hope you will find the course clear, concise and useful. If you did, give it a thumbs up !
Do not hesitate to leave a comment if you encounter any difficulties.
Oh and here's the drum file if you want to practice with the playback :

I am not a guiterist..but i always want to add strum in my production.i literally check all the tutorial.but first time it feels that..now i can use it without hesitation ❤️.thanks man❤️
Great job my man. This is the only video I needed to understand what I assume most people want to know - how to create a strum sequence using this plugin without getting intimidated by the slightly complex plug-in interface.
This was an amazing tutorial. I kept hitting the cord switch keys thinking it would play chords but it's all part of the sequencer. Thanks a lot
So! I had no idea my Ample guitar plugin could do any of this lol, thank you, this has been super imformative!

I agree . This is a way l never would've figured out and still don't completely understand how to do everything you did especially the using a note to trigger chords and other things . Thank you for showing us these great options available and how to accomplish them . The best to you and yours .
Completely earned a sub. The clearest explanation of this VST I've seen on KZread.
This plugin makes MUCH more sense now. Thank you for the tutorial!!!
God bless you for this video! You have no idea how many beginning Musicians' lives you've saved...
I was struggling so much with this plugin, this tutorial was SO helpful. Thank you!!!

the strummer is the most unintuitive thing I have ever seen
Hey Dude!! I am so greatful right now!! You have opened so many doors in my creativity. I battled with this plugins. I used to make three or more tracks, with each dedicated to one chord and one pattern! I even attempted to "program" different strumming patterns with the automations. But now I am set. I did not know it was so simple!! A note triggers a chord, and a nother note triggers the patterns!! AWESOME!!! I am for ever in debt with you.
I love virtual jam session like this. Joking! Bytheway good presentation here! Short & clear! Thx
Please keep making more of these video. I just got this plug in and am trying to learn as much as I can.
this is the best i have seen so far.. Thank you
Thank you for showing us these great options available and how to accomplish them . The best to you and yours .
This video should've been the top result when looking for a tutorial. Highly underrated You covered EVERY base I had to save the video in case I lose it👏🏽👏🏽
You just blew my mind. This is amazing!!
Thank you very much William, for creating this fantastic tutorial!
Many thanks for this comprehensive guide! Basics are understood now, so I need to do some trials.
So good William. I have only just found you on You Tube. I am 69 years old and played bass most of my life now play a little guitar. I have had Ample Sound Taylor for a couple of years and never knew that it could do do much. I know a little music theory but you make it look easy and you are a great teacher. I hope that you continue you videos especial with the strum patterns. I am going to watch your video again for the 30th time to make sure I understand. Excellent stuff.

Thank you William! (Where were you 3 years ago when I first started struggling with programming Ample Sound products?!!!) Ample products sound great - but the people at Ample assume we know way too much when they are writing their instruction manuals and documentation!!) Keep up the great work!

Thank you bthrowerr ! The instructions manuals could be indeed better. But I think it's always difficult to teach an instrument (be there a real one or a VST) without video materials haha. AmpleSound's products are really great once we know how to use them. Which is the purpose of this channel. Cheers ;)

Nice synthetic video !
Just got AGT and this video was super helpful. I noticed that the default patterns change when you switch guitar sound presets. It would be helpful to know if you can "lock" the strum patterns while trying out sounds.
respect brother....thnkxx
Strumming in this plugin is such a nightmare, I rather learn to play guitar

I think that I am going to have to watch this video a few times before I'll feel confident. Nevertheless, and excellent and clear video.
bro u r cool... lovedd it
Followin U... Thanks!!!!!!!
Simply Thank you!!! The manual is too shallow and I didn't find anywhere how to fix something basic (sort of "hidden"...). I instanly subscribed about 2 months ago, now I have time to watch over and over and try out in my daw. Hopefully in the future you can upload more content... thanks again and greetings from Argentina
Freakin great.
Muy bueno!
Man this is complex! Really Intense. Sounds fantastic but I might actually learn to play my acoustic guitar faster than learning to program this!
