Justinguitar Strumming Techniques Dvds
Wondering if Justin Sandercoe's strumming techniques dvd 1 & 2 would help me with strumming. Anyone know what the contents or table of contents are in Dvds 1 & 2? Any help would be appreciated.

I think the lessons in volume 1 are very good for the beginner. Tip - play the patterns he teaches with all kinds of different chord progressions and to throw more fun in the mix, use a drum machine app in lieu of a metronome.

Yes, I'm using Justin's lessons. I downloaded the Strumming 1 lessons and I think that I got a lot out of it. I'm now working on his Intermediate Method and I'll be getting Strumming 2 very soon.

How much do "strumming exercises" help?
I promise I'm not asking this question out of disagreement -- I have no experience with this so I have no opinion. On one hand, I have gotten *some* value out of certain sorts of drills (one-finger-per-fret warmups, minor pentatonic scale fingerings, fretboard games). In lots of other areas, though, I've found that to really learn something, I need to do it in the context of a song. I imagine doing some strum or strumming pattern in an exercise, but not using it right away in some song, and by two months later it's gone from my mind and my hands/arms/etc. Have these helped you?

I received DVD 1 when I got his beginners package. Since I didn't have an instructor, I found it helpful.

Justin's strumming dvds very much helped me to hear exact patterns in a song and made learning to play the rhythm in songs so much faster. I wasn't guessing the pattern. I knew it and could feel it exactly. It also helped with timing, counting, hearing abd transcribing the rhythm. I think some isolated rhythm exercises are good because not all songs we know or interested in will cover all rhythmic combinations.

If you read notation, Justin has a physical book out called: "Justin Guitar Rhythm Reading". It is about how to read, write, and understand rhythmic notation. Good book, and available on Amazon. (at least it is in the U.S.)
