Learn four famous guitar strum patterns. Peter Vogl will teach you how to play the main chords and patterns for Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones (0:17), Sitting, Wishing, Waiting - Jack Johnson (2:05), Tequila Sunrise - Eagles (4:37), and Follow Your Arrow - Kacey Musgraves (7:02). In each segment, you'll start by learning the chords, then the strum pattern, and finally practice playing them all together. Play along with the video until you get the hang of things. Start trying out these patterns in your own chord progressions.
Show us your progress! Film yourself playing one of these patterns and share it with us on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. We'd love to see what you've learned and we'll send you a special lesson for the effort.
