Separate sections take on strumming, changing chords and coordinating chord changes while strumming, therefore maintaining a thorough approach throughout with components broken down at every level. With this incremental method, this guitar strumming book enables the beginner to absorb everything important from the start and progress consistently as the difficulty level increases. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuitar Strumming Techniques -\u003c\/b\u003e Before anything else, the basics of strumming are covered from the ground up for the beginner, assisted with professional hand drawn illustrations. Learn how to hold the plectrum for strumming, how to strum chords that require you to miss certain strings, pre-emptive chord changing, open strums and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuitar Strumming Patterns -\u003c\/b\u003e There are 70 different guitar strumming patterns that can be used throughout the book, all written with easy to understand, graphical, strumming diagrams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Rhythmical Notation -\u003c\/b\u003e Understand the common language of music by becoming familiar with rhythmical notation.

The book starts with the easiest chord changes in which fretting finger locations can be shared, moving to chord changes in which fretting fingers relocate with the same shape, then more difficult chord changes where fretting fingers need to relocate in independent directions, such as C major to G major open chords or Aadd9 to Dmaj7 open chords. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrumming Exercises and Study Pieces -\u003c\/b\u003e Every section includes strumming exercises that combine chord changes with strumming, each section concluding with a musical study piece using the skills learnt and practised in styles of Slow Pop, Spanish style, Grunge and Country Pop. In total there are 85 strumming exercises and 10 musical study pieces, while more combinations can be found by selecting from the 70 given strumming patterns to use with them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio and Video -\u003c\/b\u003e All exercises and musical study pieces are demonstrated with audio (downloadable 154 MB).
