Strumming – this menu item is broken down to three sub-sections.

Strumming Pattern – in this lesson David will teach you all about rhythm, measures, and strum patterns. You will learn what gives music its rhythm. He will teach you a strum pattern that you can blast across many, many songs all through out your playing. He breaks the strum down into digestible sub-sections to make it easy to learn. David teaches you to play in time, with rhythm, by utilizing strum patterns. On screen text ties it together. There is a strum along section so you can play along with David to utilize as a practice exercise.

Another Strumming Pattern – in this lesson David will teach you another strum pattern. Much like the first pattern he breaks this pattern into sub-sections to get you strumming fast. These are strum patterns that David has found students gravitate toward first and can grasp very quickly. You can use these patterns for a myriad of different songs and applications. Another strum along with David helps you practice and apply what you are learning – YOU CAN DO IT! All along David stresses the proper techniques that you are learning throughout this DVD – learn and apply.

Song Progression – in this lesson David teaches you the song progression.

He tells you exactly what to practice and all the patterns and timings to get you ramped up to speed quickly. You can even play along with David in time. David discusses good practice principles and how to master these chord-changing techniques so eventually your chord changing will be automatic.

Walking Bass Lines – in this section you will learn about walking bass lines. Walking lines are such a great embellishment to add some spice to your playing. David goes over the bass lines utilized in the song and then teaches how to insert them into your playing to add interest and movement. This technique can be blasted across your playing to certain chordal movements as a great embellishment.
