Last month we had a really interesting request asking if we would post up the strumming patterns to some well known worship songs. So I\u2019ve chosen 20 popular songs s at random that I hope people will find helpful. Some of these are covered in our Guitar SongLearner series (available on DVD or as individual downloads<\/a>) and we also have 35 sample patterns and some in-depth lessons on how to find the right strumming pattern to any song within our Intermediate Acoustic DVDs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve listed these in kind of box format that shows the song over a single bar in a 16th<\/sup> note format. So the key is to count 1 E & A, 2 E & A, 3 E & A, 4 E & A over the song and crucially KEEP YOUR HAND MOVING<\/strong> at all times. Naturally your hand should strum down on the numbers or beats (1234), the &\u2019s and then the up beats should always link to the E\u2019s and A\u2019s. If you find this difficult to work through on paper then again I\u2019d recommend either our Song Learner series DVDs<\/a> or Intermediate Acoustic DVD<\/a>s as its much easier to see it on video than in an article.<\/p>\n
