Thanks Lynette - my best to you! Shane

Been playing guitar since I was 13, 63 now and this strumming video along with some of your other technique videos have been game changers in my playing. Never too late to learn new things! Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

Thank you Tom - that’s SO great to hear. Happy to have you here. Cheers, Shane

Thanks for the basic training, Shane. I’m realizing chording comes easier than a nice sounding strum! I keep lured away trying to play popular songs, or old songs I love. But I am not ready..I’ll keep practicing along with you!!

Fabulous - my best to you. Have fun with it! Shane

I think "pluck the chicken" is funnier than "walk." With the whack, at first I had my strumming hand too far back towards the bridge, so the full side of the hand was not contacting the strings. Better success my moving the hand more towards the neck so the hand was just striking the strings.

Shane. I knew I bought the Beatbuddy min 2 to help play songs to the beat. I had never thought of using it to learn the wack. Watching this video just give me more confidence now that I will make this work. Thanks for making videos like this. It helps so much to further my learning the guitar.

Thank you Chris! Shane

I'm excitednfor the lesson on into the mystic. One of my favorites.

I am an older beginner. It looks like you are utilizing your middle finger in holding the pick. Could you show a close-up of how you hold the pick in one of your upcoming videos? I truly enjoy the enthusiasm you put into your teaching. I find it inspiring. Thanks for your lessons.

Another excellent lesson explained in a simple and easy to understand manner. Very helpful and explained in a fun way that draws you in to practice. Better than a lot of other over technical KZread sites where talk of music theory is delivered in a show-off and “look at me I’m great” manner. Shane gets the theory over in a fun way which encourages you to learn - plus many of the song lessons are perfect for us older players. Thanks Shane.

Thanks for that - I completely agree. I wish someone had sat me down and told me to work on this type of thing very early on in my guitar playing life. Really helpful for sure. Best to you, Shane

Shane, miss you in the glasses! You are the only teacher who made me realise to late, five years ago ? that the guitar mimics the beat and all the other instruments, you do, as you say have to alter the strumming pattern whilst playing. Beginners and I was guilty of it, trying to follow a pattern rigidly. Never works like that.

Thank you Shane ❤

These videos are great. Can you do one with palm muted strumming?

Hey Shane. I've watch both "Strumming Drills" clips and they are helpful. Any tips or drills on 6/8 feel and 3/4 feel?

Thanks Jeff - very happy to hear that. I should do a video dedicated to 3/4 and 6/8 for sure. Best to you! Shane

Perfect! In an earlier video (I believe it was a song and not a strumming lesson) you demonstrated the "whack" but for the life of me I had a hard time getting it. Seeing you delve into the actual technique is so helpful! But for this lesson, shouldn't it be "Whack the chicken, whack the chicken"? ;)

How about “Walk the chicken, Whack the chicken”.

Hey Shane I have a Boss RC-5 looper. Can I connect a beat buddy to it like you talk about connecting it to an Aeros and have the RC5 control the beat buddy like the Aeros does?

Can u do some lessons by free & bad company plz 🤘

Do you have a mechanics video?

Does the beatbuddy have an internal speaker or can I connect it to a small portable Bose sound box?

@GuitarAtWork

Hi there - no speaker on the BeatBuddy - you could plug into the line in on a Bose or other type unit. Cheers, Shane

Can someone who doesn’t use a pick get the whack effect?

Great question - thanks Jim. Absolutely you can do it without a pick. Just drag your fingers through the strings quickly. Especially helpful if you have fingernails. Cheers, Shane

I can't strum that fast😢

This is so whacky Shane Lol 😂

Hey Shane, really like the lesson I joined your Patreon yesterday and the thing I like about your lessons is you actually show in a way what you’re talking about in an easy to understand way I love the whack but there’s something I need to know are you a doctor Because the tabs on Patreon look like a doctor wrote them 😂😂😂
