Lesson 117 MORE EAR TRAINING while learning new strum patterns – 11:27 minutes 

Here we will continue with your ear training and development. As we keep stressing, one of the most important things you can do as a musician is to develop your ear. By this lesson you should be to the point where you can almost pick off rhythms and strums by ear. In this lesson we will teach you more strum patterns to test and develop your ear. 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 to start 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! – Rock on good people!
