Beginners Strumming & Timing helper

A basic little practice helper for chord changing and timing.
It's based on a somewhat familiar tune, which I don't get to say too often{lol}...Vary your up-down patterns each time thru to expand your practice. Hope some find it helpful and/or entertaining, At least it kept me busy for a while

Key = helpful info
Strumming = with guitar
Timing count = with guitar and vocal count
Practice BT = no guitar

Hi afnichols, you have found the best place to start right here. Start by reading Brand new to playing the guitar?...read this first.

Kirk has some Beginners Lessons, and many of the 'easy' lessons really are easy. I started to play lefty in Jan and have a Lefty Challenge thing going where I have posted my early efforts and some have tabs. I think its in the Get Feedback on Your Playing Forum.

Any questions you have, just post them and the members will answer you. Goodluck.
