problem in strumming

hi peepz... im new here. and im happy to be part of this.
anywayz, im juz a beginner who wants to learn for a long time. but no one is available to teach me heheheh.

well, i know how to read basic chords. G C D... more. i am more on placking... well i could play some songs... but i was having a hard time strumming than plackng. its weird coz whenever i strum the sounds doesnt seem to be right.... my problem was i dont know if its up up down down or whatever. really weird.

i want to learn how to strum correctly. lets say i strum correctly at the 1st verse but at the 2nd one although its juz same strumming, its bcoming different. especially when i sing. hehehe

is there any lesson or tutorial or simple songs to learn the correct way of strumming?
as a beginner what song would u suggest me to play for a start.

thanks in advance....

Hi Coolangot,
Go to the Guitar Lessons page, then Kirk Lorange's Guitar Lessons. then Beginner's Lessons. The first 3 are all about strumming - a great tune too .Goodluck

Coolangot, here's a good lesson on strumming - Strumming and here's part one of the lessons Carol mentioned - True beginner? Here's a lesson for you!

Both should help you out.

Cheers

Clancy
