Lesson 6 - 8th Strumming with Down and Ups

Here we cover how to play 8th strumming with a down and up strumming motion, which needs to be done in a particular way.

Pattern 3 8ths D U

Recap - Why ‘all downs’ or ‘downs and ups'?

8ths 'all down' strumming is appropriate for slower songs (60 to 100 bpm)
8ths 'down & up' strumming is appropriate for faster tempo songs (100 to 150bpm +)

Well done! Let's jump into the next lesson of the course.
