Rhythm is inseparably linked to strums and can't really repeat that often enough!

Strumming requires a specific set of skills when applied to chords. They are:

  • Memorization of chords
  • The ability to switch chords smoothly and
  • The ability to choose and execute a suitable rhythmic strum. This is where these series of lessons will help.

Using the Chuck Anderson's Modular Phonetic Rhythm System this series of lessons explore all possible two beat rhythmic syllables.
