Playing Your First Simple Rhythm Pattern (Print Page)

Rhythm is about accuracy, keeping the spaces between each strum even. With the example below, play an E Major Chord and have a go at strumming the chord along with the counts. Use the 4 beat count in to help you with your timing.

Tip: Say this when you're playing it,
"Down Up Down Up Down Up Down Up"
