I was progressively getting worse and more frustrated as I was developing these habits. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. It instantly helped.

Also, people who strum all 6 strings all the time. Should play the bass note and down. Good video.

For years I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my guitar techniques, why it sounds different than others. And was in vain. Finally, you point that out. Thank you.

Dude, you just opened my eyes! I have been struggling with strumming with my (unfortunate) intermittent practice time and this has made a world of difference. Especially mistake #1. I never realized it until now. Thank you for this great lesson.

As someone with 25+ years of playing, I must say..this is a great video for beginners. I'm planning on teaching my nephew, he wants to learn, he's 13. So here I am, going through tutorials on YouTube to get better ideas on how to teach, so THANK YOU so much for this video! 🤟

This helped me out a lot, I thought I was doing okay, but i was making almost all of these mistakes. Thank you for this, this was much needed for a beginner.

Dude, you totally nailed it… I’m a pretty confident rhythm guitarist and I’m guilty of #5 a lot. It’s almost like you get lazy or hypnotized half way through a song and you find yourself scraping. Thanks for this!

This was fantastic video. I really agree with the 5 mistakes. I think I’m lucky enough to have not developed them as habits in my playing. But I’ve heard plenty of others playing with a sound I didn’t like, so hearing you break this down has identified WHY I didn’t like their sound. What a huge difference correcting these methods can make. Big thanks and please make more like this

#4 took me FOREVER. I played piano for 30 years before picking up a guitar. There is no equivalent motion, and it made no sense to me. I did have a teacher when I started. He told me my timing was excellent even though I was strumming wrong. He made me learning the technique, and it did wonders for my playing. So much more comfortable, tighter rhythm, and a much more consistent tone. Learn it!

The suggestion about holding the pick lightly really helped me a lot. Thanks! I've been afraid to let go of it, but I definitely play better holding it loosely. Hopefully I'll find that sweet spot of just the right force to hold it lightly without losing it.

Ive played for 40 years. Still found a couple of these tips useful. Thanks Andrew.😊

These tips are so good in building the right technique. Been playing acoustic guitar and I didn't even take note of some of these mistakes I made and challenges I had to get past. This is an eye opener.

I have been playing guitar for 15 or 20 years. It was nice to know all these tips. I am self taught. But it was good to know some things I was already doing correctly. And Some things that I need to improve on. Good video

Excellent video! I've been struggling with my strumming and now I see where I'm making my mistakes. Thanks so much!

These honestly helped so much. The person who was teaching me stopped after a few weeks, so I was stuck on the early stuff and lingered for the past year on struggling with barr chords, and strumming, and ... honestly a lot more. This video, I am extremely greatful for... The pick one especially, it was a point of upset for me when I'd try playing a song I thought was beautiful, like Willow Tree March, and I'd get this rough and loud mess no matter what I tried.

For a beginner, this is great information. Once you progress to an intermediate level, I'd encourage the player to be able to control some of these elements at will. Being able to control pick angle is very useful when playing single lines (as opposed to strumming), and slow strums can be good for landing chords (like rolling a chord on Piano) if used sparingly. Being able to deviate from natural strumming (down/up/down/up, etc.) is also very useful once you get to more advanced rhythms (for different accents, triplets, etc). But none of these things should be practiced until you've got the fundamentals down.

This was outstanding! I tried to learn guitar (for a short time) and it always sounded so completely awful I gave up and gave the guitar to a family member. I want it back now! I think I did everything wrong that you pointed out. He he, good thing I can laugh at myself! Anyway, this was incredible and not one single thing that was too technical that I didn't get it! Simple solutions.

This instruction instantly improved my "playing" a great deal. I'm a beginner, and this is the first time I enjoyed it. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! This video is absolute gold. I was seriously stuck with my strumming technique and despised the pick, after watching this the difference is like night and day
