Let's look at a slightly different sixteenth note grouping.
We have basically four sixteenth note groupings but we're going to eliminate the ee out of the one ee and uh in the beat.
So this is going to sound like this one and uh two and uh three and uh four. One and uh two and uh three and uh four. One and uh two.
So the E is silent.
We're just going to let the notes ring while we're playing that.
So one ee and uh two ee and uh three. We're not playing the ee.
So here is how that sounds strummed.
We're going to have two down strokes in a row and then we're going to have an upstroke for the sixteenth note grouping.
One and uh two and uh three and uh four. One and uh two and uh three and uh four.
Let's hear how that sounds with the click track.
These things once you start getting the eighth note grouping, sixteenth note grouping feel and the quarter note grouping it's really cool to follow
some of these strum patterns I have written out here but it's even cooler to write down your own.
Using this theory and these methods here.
So what I am going to do I'm just going to kind of improvise and I'm going to count out loud as I'm doing it.
You'll be able to hear what I am doing as far as strumming and also how to subdivide the beat.
(Listen to Chris improvise)
So you get the idea.
You are just kind of randomly choosing where to strum and which groupings to apply where.
The important thing is you've got the accents in the right place so you feel like you're grooving.
Let's move on to three, four time signature and work through a couple strumming ideas for that.
