It’s embarrising to say that I play guitar for a year but I still have some sort of robot arm, when strumming. Never really got the hang of it. It looks really stupid because I can play a solo, but not strum chords properly. This lesson helpt me a lot towards getting me rid of my robot-like strumming arm. Thanks alot!

Thanks for a great video-am I correct in saying that even when you are coming back from the ‘downs’ you are still hitting the strings minimally on the way up with it being an ‘up?’

try playing them at …
try playing them at a much slower tempo. focus on switching the chords in time with your tempo (playing to a click would be gd; it instills a meter in you after a while) and then gradually quicken. once enough practice, your muscle remembers, and they will be able to catch up with what you have in mind (the chords, changes, etc.)

hello niz,

key is to practice the strumming till it’s second nature; till you don’t have to spend an ounce of concentration on it and THEN attempt singing to your playing.

my problem is not chords even not struming The problem is to strum & sing simultaneously (@the same time)
