The following section will show you how to start strumming a guitar, with strumming patterns for you to practice and learn.

Basic strumming is fundamental to playing a guitar and I have found that most people need to be taught how to do it.

Your right arm is like the drummer in a band - it keeps time. You need to be able to move it up and down in strict time with a metronome.
Practice with a metronome, drum machine, or favourite CD, until you are confident that you can move your arm up and down perfectly in time with the music without touching the strings of your instrument.

A strum is the act of brushing one's fingers over (strumming) the strings of a string instrument such as a guitar. A strumming pattern is a preset pattern used by a rhythm guitar. Compare with pattern picking. Strumming patterns may be indicated through notation, tablature, up and down arrows, or slashes. For example, a pattern in common time or 4/4 consisting of alternating down and up eighth note strokes may be written: /\/\/\/\ The pattern most typical of rock and related styles would be written: / /\ \/\
