In this lesson alternate strumming is used which gives more of an authentic-sounding strum pattern. The tablature file and Jam Track .mp3 file (excluding the rhythm track) are included. A full band MP3 file with all tracks is also included, along with multiple tempos. You may want to start with the slower tempo version.


The rhythm looping pattern is: DOWN DOWN DOWN UP DOWN UP UP DOWN UP DOWN UP. This pattern loops continuously.


The turnaround pattern is DOWN DOWN DOWN UP DOWN UP UP UP UP DOWN UP. Note that the motion of the right hand keeps the momentum going.
