Lesson 116 – DEVELOP YOU EAR more EAR TRAINING on rhythms and strumming -14:21 

One of the most important things you can do as a musician is to develop your ear. We keep stating this over and over to listen to the color of the chords and to listen to what is going on rhythmically with a strum. Soon you can figure out songs on your own because you are taking the extra time to work on developing your ear. We want to try and wean you off written strum patterns and playing more by rhythmic feel and by using your ear. Let your ear guide you as you try and figure out the strum that I will be playing. We will train you to think rhythmically – and say the rhythm out loud – if you can say it you can play it!  Just by listening you can figure out the strum pattern – all because you are working on developing your ear. YOU CAN DO IT! So grab your number two pencils, scantron sheets, and blue books because in this module you will be tested withtwo different strum patterns – its PASS OR FAIL – Rock on good people!
