In this strumming guitar lesson, we're looking at 8th strumming variations. This is where we miss out certain up strums to make 8ths downs and ups sound cooler and more natural. Don't miss them out at random though, do any of the variations below!

Exercise  - Keep the strumming hand moving D U D U to a count of 1 + 2 + etc

Strum between the following variations in any order;
    1  +  2  +  3  +  4 +  
1  D     D      D  U D   
2  D     D U  D      
3  D     D U  D  U D
