Beginner Strumming 15-Video Digital Course

Who are you?

Hey guys, my name is Tim Gilberg, and I’m the founder and president of Guitar Jamz, which for nearly ten years has been one of the Web’s leading guitar instruction portals. We’ve taught tens of thousands of guitar students around the world with an all-star roster of instructors. �

The best known among those popular teachers is Marty Schwartz. Marty teaches this course and has a massively loyal fan base because he has a way of breaking every technique down to its smallest piece … and he always keeps it FUN in the process.

This approach has resulted in nearly a billion worldwide views on our various online channels, but what’s most important is the feedback we get every day from our students. They regularly report “a-ha” moments and exclamations of, “Wow, I can finally play that!” all because of the detailed, step-by-step nature of Marty’s lessons. This is especially true for beginner guitarists — even those who feel they don’t have a musical bone in their body.

Now let me tell you about this course. It’s called “Beginner Strumming Secrets,” and it’s absolutely perfect if you’re just starting out for guitar.  The lessons are shown with an acoustic guitar, but you can use an electric guitar if you wish.

What’s this course about, exactly?

This 15-video lesson series is the perfect supplement to a beginner guitar course. How? By teaching you how to strum easily and naturally. You’ll be taught a variety of common strum patterns, and you’ll be shown how to play them in a free-wheeling manner. You’ll also be given ways to spice up your strumming by learning special enhancements such as palm muting, rhythmic slapping, chucking, and picking. You’ll also learn about all the elements that fit into strumming, such as what a measure is, and what the different types of notes are.

What will I be able to do by the end of this course?

Simply put, you’ll be able to strum you guitar in an easy, free-wheeling way. Do you ever wonder how experienced players can strum their guitars in such a relaxed and care-free manner, as if playing their instrument was as easy and natural as breathing?  Well, this course helps get you there.

Is this course for me?

This course if for you if you’re just starting out on guitar.  It will be helpful if you know just a few of the simple chords starting out. No knowledge of music theory is necessary. This is a basic course on strumming. While it’s probably too basic if you are already an intermediate player, the lessons do give some helpful strumming techniques and practice exercises if you feel you would like your strumming to flow more naturally.

Why should I take this course?

Look, there’s already a ton of lessons online that show you how to play chords … how to change chords … but it’s really hard to find pinpointed instruction on how to specifically improve the quality of your strumming.  This is a very focused course on a very specific — and crucial — technique: strumming. Strumming naturally and easily is a goal of every guitar player, and this course will help get you there
