I started learning guitar, maybe six weeks ago, with Kirk's finger picking lessons: now that I went back and learned Here Comes the Sun with 4 fingers, it's not bad but still needs work on some of the chord changes.
Anyway, I started these strumming lessons today, went through the 3 levels in about thirty minutes. I got the rhythms fairly quickly (I think). So, now the question: Is there any point to practicing them when it seems really easy to just look at the pdf, keep time, say it and play it (didn't need to listen to it first, but when I did it was right on)? Or should I just wait until the patterns come up in a song that I'm learning?
P.S. I'm not trying to sound like guitar is easy, because it most certainly is not. But picking up these strum patterns came much easier than anything I've learned so far. So easy that I wonder if there's a need to practice them.
