Many aspiring guitarists do not spend enough time learning new guitar rhythms and strumming methods but rather jump too quickly to lead guitar techniques. As a result they never become the great guitarist that they could be.
This video teaches a cool strumming and blues rhythm pattern that a beginner shouldn’t have too many problems with. Well worth learning.

but how do you do the chuk thing??
15 dimebagpipebike // Mar 16, 2009 at 4:05 pm
not pressing the strings by realeasing the pressure, just resting your hand over them kinda “muting” the chord, bar chords are the best to learn cuz the bar finger will mute all the strings helped by the other fingers, perfect example or excercise to learn them is “smells like teen spirit” by nirvana, the intro use up and down chuck strumming. Really easy and very fun to use on rhythm stuff. good luck learning them!
16 dimodim // Mar 16, 2009 at 4:05 pm
ok, but r u muting the strings with the right hand or the left one? cuz i read somwhere that its the right hand that does the chuks….?
17 dimebagpipebike // Mar 16, 2009 at 4:05 pm
mute the strings with the left, palm muting is with the rigth, don’t mix them up cuz you’re gonna get the wrong idea. the right hand continues the strumming pattern, it doesn’t make any sepecial movement , is the left that loose the pressure a bit from the strings getting them muted and making the chuck sound. other way to learn is covering the strings with all your hand to get the idea of the technique, then move to chuck with chords.
18 dimodim // Mar 16, 2009 at 4:05 pm
ok, i get it, and if u loose the pressure from the strings with the left hand, don’t we have some of the strings still ringing, for example if we play the D chord, we will still have the 4th string ringing…?
19 dimebagpipebike // Mar 16, 2009 at 4:05 pm
for chords like D, A, E, etc, you have to leave the chord finger position and mute all the strings with the full hand, but that’s the next step, go for bar chords first like F, Fm, B and taking them up on the fretboard, get the technique dialed and then go to the rest, will be more easy that way

i think that means 5 times … dunno.
23 Eirelav111 // Mar 16, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I’m seriously confused by guitar tabs. Where it says AM7 – 575555 are you supposed to depress the 5th fret on all all six strings except the A? I’m so confused.
24 Tijntjuhdaman // Mar 16, 2009 at 4:05 pm
It means: Take the AM Barre chord, wich would be 577655 if you look at guitar tabs (if you don’t know how to make a barre chord, it’s when you press down all the strings with your index finger. Just look up a lesson video on youtube, you’ll find loads of them), Then leave out the 4th string on the 7th fret and the 3rd string on the 6th fret. That’s an AM7 chord. And when you have to depress a string (to mute it, not to let it ring as an open string) they write down an “x” in tabs.
