The problem with strumming...

Dear guitarist.


Let's talk about the "dark art" of strumming. This is something that often frustrates many guitarists.


In fact, in my early days of teaching guitar, I quickly realised there are two BIG issues with the way people teach strumming on the guitar...

Strumming Issue #1

X

The first issue is "difficulty".


Strumming is often challenging for beginners and many guitar teachers often start their students off with strumming songs from lesson #1... But usually, these songs are too difficult for beginners.


This frequently leaves the student secretly hating strumming and losing their desire to practise.

...And even the students who do manage to overcome this hurdle often find they struggle with this next thing...

Strumming Issue #2:

X

The second issue is "boredom". 


If you find your strumming to be BLAND or BORING, you keep playing the "same old" strumming pattern... Or you've been trying different strumming techniques but struggle to use them in real songs...


You'll know this feeling!


...BUT if you struggle with either of the above issues, there's good news, and that is...

There's a whole world of strumming fun Awaiting you

...No matter if you're a beginner or seasoned guitarist. It's all in my course called the...

Superhuman Strumming!

play classic songs 

...and discover "pro" techniques

Instead of giving you a whole range of unpractical skills OR a "one size fits all" approach...


I'm teaching you REAL songs in a variety of unique ways from the "get go".


The songs are tried and tested classics: 

  • Danny Boy
  • Lonesome Valley
  • Whiskey in the Jar

I'll tell you exactly WHY I chose those three specific songs in a moment.


...But firstly, here's how I've made the learning journey more "natural" and enjoyable:

Each song is taught In four specific Ways

...to suit your current ability

Firstly, we have the "melody-only" version where you will play the famous tune from the song on the guitar in a confidence-building way...

The Melody-Only Version

  • Play the instantly recognisable melody - Ideal if you are not a singer or you just want more fun playing the tune!
  • Jam with me for extra fun - Once you learn the simple and elegant melody, press "play" on the video and jam with me while I strum the chords. This is how students and I jam in my studio and they love it!

Next up, you can learn one of three strumming versions of the song to suit your skill level. 

Level 1 - A Super-Beginner-Friendly Arrangement

  • Play a super-beginner-friendly version of the song - perfect if you're new to strumming or you've struggled with the basics in the past.
  • Develop your confidence at a pace that suits you - strum with clarity and get a solid foundation that we will build upon in the later versions...

Level 2 -  The "Next Level" Version

  • How to ramp up the fun and take the song to the next level with more grooves, rhythms, and exciting variations taught in a structured way.
  • Get the key strumming secrets - includes common mistakes to avoid, the fundamentals of rhythm, and how to add more excitement to any song.

Level 3 - How To Add In The Pro Tricks!

  • Discover how to play impressive intermediate versions of the songs with a wide variety of powerful strumming fills, riffs, and licks.
  • Fill your strumming "toolbox" with my favourite techniques - Combine rhythm and lead, "pick strum", percussive strum, play embellishments, and more!

I chose the three specific songs in this course because they are...

  • Timeless classics that everyone knows
  • Simple in structure and easier to learn than many other songs
  • Tried and tested songs that have stood the test of time

I'm not a great singer and I know many of my students also aren't singers.


Therefore, I do not demonstrate how to sing the songs but instead, I'm showing you how to have a tonne of fun playing the songs on the guitar.


My goal with this course is to help you quickly learn the techniques in a practical way while giving you...


The tools and confidence to apply the lessons to other songs you know. Here's a taste of what you will learn in each song...

Danny Boy

Danny Boy (aka Londonderry Air) is a classic Irish song, written in 1913. Its haunting melody and emotional depth make it a staple at many significant life events. Covered by artists like Bing Crosby, Eric Clapton, and Judy Garland, it is a timeless classic and here's what you'll learn:

  • An easy strumming pattern for when singing and strumming... without the need to play a boring rhythm.
  • How to combine rhythm and lead at the same time - The epic "interlude" section will show you how to play rock techniques such as legato, "triplets", and slides, to give your strumming more oomph! 
  • The Cadd9 chord "trick" for making one of the most common chord changes immediately less awkward.
  • Killer intros! How to play an exciting two-chord intro to a song that you can steal and use for other songs. 
  • How the "Modern" strumming pattern will add more soul to your songs ...and why it's been used by artists such as The Rolling Stones, Oasis, Cat Stevens, and many more.
  • An exciting "Triad" mini tutorial inspired by the great Van Morrison that will allow you to unlock more parts of the fretboard and play down the "dusty end" of the guitar with confidence!

Lonesome Valley

Lonesome Valley is a traditional American folk song that me and my students love. It features in the George Clooney movie, O Brother Where Art Thou and has been performed by many legends of the guitar, such as Mississippi John Hurt, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, Ernest Tubb, and Earl Scruggs. Here's a snippet of what you will learn...

  • How to play the "three-chord trick" in one of the most practical keys on the guitar.
  • The Johnny Cash-esque "Country" strumming pattern made easy - many overcomplicate this, but we simplify it using just four downstrums (and it sounds great).
  • Two essentials you must do to improve your timing ...which most people neglect yet will help with everything you play.
  • A simple way to vary the "Country" strumming pattern... and how it almost sounds like two guitars being played at once!
  • An arrangement technique from a legendary songwriter to help add more flavour to any song by outlining the melody on the bass strings.
  • How to play a stunning D Major "chord melody"... A classic, but rarely taught, trick beginners can play that has been used in many folk, pop, and rock songs.
  • An optional but alternative way to develop your barre chords ...by playing one of the most common shapes on the guitar in an unusual way.
  • A super-melodic trick inspired by J.S. Bach using elegant two-string dyads that will instantly turn a "thin" sounding melody into a phrase that is full of rich and vibrant, harmonic overtones.

Whiskey In The Jar

Whiskey in the Jar is a classic Irish folk song about a highwayman betrayed by his lover. It has been a staple of Irish music for centuries. Performed by The Dubliners, Thin Lizzy, and Metallica, the song is a beloved piece of folk, rock, and pop heritage. Here's what you'll learn in these arrangements...

  • How to use "percussive strumming" to sound like a seasoned pro and how this technique can even make it sound like you're jamming with a real drummer.
  • An ultra-melodic "pick strumming" tip suitable for beginners to learn right away that will perk up any listener's ears.
  • A real-life example of how to use "bass strumming" to instantly change up your tone in a flash!
  • Discover how "less can be more"... It's a subtle tip that pros do a lot and will make your music shine.
  • The groove-enhancing "staccato" strum that will add instant spice to your songs, but why you should use it sparingly.
  • How to play a "drum fill" inspired strumming pattern and why this will help you transition smoothly between sections of a song.
  • How to add dramatic flair with "rapid-fire" strumming - inspired by Metallica and Thin Lizzy, this powerful technique even works great on the acoustic guitar.

Everything in the course is taught in a step-by-step clear and confidence-building way...

All of the above will give you the tools you need so you can say "goodbye" to boredom. 


...Enjoy your practice sessions, and learn in an effective manner.

Do you want to strum the guitar like a pro? If so, when you order my Superhuman Strumming course today, you will get my "Strumming With Soul" course completely free.


Many guitarists struggle for years with the basics. And for most of us, learning to strum the guitar is a challenging and often frustrating journey.


Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?

  • "What strumming pattern do I use for this song?"
  • "I can't play this song in time with the recording."
  • "Why is my strumming sloppy?"
  • "How do others make strumming look so easy and sound so good?"

If you’ve asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone. I was once in the same place. My strumming was poor, and I had no rhythm skills.


Yet through years of trial and error, I improved. Today, strumming is effortless for me, and I've spent thousands of hours teaching these techniques to others.


...This knowledge is all in this course which I no longer sell... but you will get it for FREE today as a bonus.

What You Will Learn:

  • The essential fundamentals of strumming that most people neglect

Why I am giving this course away as A Free Bonus?

I no longer sell or promote the Strumming With Soul course. That is because it is "raw", unpolished, and in truth... I was rather chubby back then (I am honest about that!). 


The thing is, I have been planning on re-filming this course for years but have NEVER got 'round to it...


...But recently I went through the course and realised every last bit of it is still 100% relevant to all guitarists today.


Therefore, it is silly to not let students benefit from this course!


So, while I do not want to sell it as a standalone course, I am happy to give it away as a bonus and you will get this in your account today with free lifetime access.

90-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Purchase With Confidence...It's Risk-Free!

If you don't like this course or find it is not for you, you can get a full refund anytime within 90 days of your purchase.


Note - this is not a "traditional" guarantee. I don't believe in them. A typical money-back guarantee gives you a way to back out from achieving what you want. It allows you to give up on something that you want to achieve. Not having a guarantee means you MUST take action and get on the road to achieving your goals.


...BUT here's what I am offering. 


If you actually DO the exercises and give the lessons your time and effort (and you can show me you have), I'll GLADLY refund you.


I've implemented this with other courses and haven't had a single refund yet.


I'm doing this because I truly believe it's the best way to ensure you succeed. I know it's easy just to refund something because you're "too busy", but I offer this type of guarantee because I KNOW you can succeed with this.
