Does anyone else share the opinion that beginner guitar book authors who try to teach 'strumming patterns' using only text should be slapped w/a fish?? Or who get beginners all hopped up on 'strumming patterns' PERIOD??
Apologies for the rant...
To the OP - If you find 'stumming patterns' a very compelling thing to learn, I suggest you focus on learning them from live musicians, videos or recordings - anything with actual music. While it's possible to learn them from text, you'll become a better musician sooner if you learn from listening.
