How to learn strumming patterns by ear!
💻 Check out James' Beginner Guitar Course: https://goodguitarist.com/beginner-guitar-course/
In this guitar lesson, we dive deep into Bob Dylan's classic "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and uncover the real secret to its strumming pattern. While it may seem like there’s no set rhythm, I’ll teach you how to play by feel, without needing to memorize a specific pattern! You’ll learn how to emphasize beats, use offbeats effectively, and capture the groove of any song just by listening.
