Essential strumming patterns for popular guitar playing. Also applicable to any strumming or plectrum instruments. E.g. Ukulele.
1. The Compound Six/Eight
This is two waltzes (from the beginner rhythms) ‘pasted’ together. Both of the waltz strumming patterns here have been compressed into the beat. The waltz now comprises one beat. Therefore two waltzes = Two beats. Consequently, I sometimes call this rhythm the 'Compound March'.
