The purpose of this video is to describe and demonstrate two basic guitar strum patterns.

One of these two strum patterns will fit any song you wish to play on your guitar.

These strum patterns consist of picking a low note of the chord you are playing followed by one or two down strums.

For songs with two or four beats per measure the pick-down-pick-down strum pattern will fit.

For songs with three, six or nine beats per measure the pick-down-down strum pattern will fit.
