Is there an easy way to learn guitar strumming patterns for songs…other than just listening to the song?
I know that they have chords and tabs online…and I’ve reached a point where I know basic chords. But I realized last night that just knowing the chords and being able to play them aren’t enough.

You know, I really think this is the best way. You can’t trust what you see on the tab sites on the internet, and I think your ears are the best judge. Sometimes watching videos of the performer is helpful as well. You really have to have a strong sense of rhythm when strumming. Try playing along with the tune… over and over again!

I’m a professional musician and when I want some other input besides learning from records, I got to a music store and look through the books they have. Online tab stuff is fun (I read music and can’t deal with tab) too!
Or take one lesson with a teacher in your area. Just one lesson can jumpstart your practicing when it gets stale, which it can easily do
