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 :

    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.

    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.

    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.

AmpleSound's products are really great once we know how to use them. Which is the purpose of this channel. Cheers ;)
