@@Studio33guitar Since March. Just learning about 16th note strumming from a song I'm practicing. I've come across it, but didn't know what it was called or the theory behind it; I just thought people were strumming faster. Got a few quick questions if you don't mind: Can you swap in 16th note strumming into any song that traditionally uses 8th note strumming, as long as you can keep the pace? Also, is 16th note the "highest level", or is there 32nd note or something even more advanced?
Casey Toland Thanks for the question. Yes, in theory you can subdivide a bar into any combination of note values. However, it may “fit”, but it might not have the right feel for the song. And yes, you can subdivide even further. Technically, you could subdivide indefinitely, but typically 32nd or 64th notes is the highest you will see. Also, it’s important to note that those high numbers don’t necessarily mean fast; it depends on the tempo of the song. For example, a 32nd note at 50bpm would be played at the same speed as a 16th note at 100bpm. Hopefully this helps!
@@ricardotijerina886 That's great! We all start somewhere. Keep at it! It gets easier, I promise! I'm happy to help with any questions you have along the way!
Excellent! Glad you found it helpful. 16ths aren’t t “always” downs but it’s a helpful way to think of them until they become more natural. Thanks for the comment. How long have you been playing?
Studio33Guitar Sorry if my response wasn’t very clear...As you know the count for 8th notes is 1 & 2 & 3 & 4. 16th notes it’s 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a. For the “&” in a 8th note count you’re strumming up. Whereas with a 16th note count your strumming down for the “&”. So making that connection I realized if I can strum a 8th note count with all down strums then my strumming hand is actually moving up and down at a 16th note pace. From there it’s just a matter of hitting the strings for the rhythm. I like how you’re able to keep 16th note time by having a little bounce after you’re downstroke when keeping 8th note time. Seems like a lot less wasted motion and it allows you to hit the 16th notes on time when necessary. I’ve been picking up and putting down the guitar for many years. Still consider myself a newbie.
Kickstarter courses break everything done into manageable chunks.They don’t zoom ahead, and leave you confused.My music teacher is impressed with the quality, pace , and accuracy and the materials feed into my guitar lessons.You also get highly readable comprehensive PDF files to view off line to reinforce your learning.
the difficult thing for me is to keep my right hand miss the strum and keep it moving all the time - how to do this - for example in case of the red hot chilli pepper song wet sand
Hi, thanks for the comment. The reason the chords aren’t mentioned is because this is an excerpt from a course. The chords are Gmaj, Cadd9, Emin7 and D. I teach those chords here- ruclips.net/video/qZCUfkzM7wE/видео.html

Helpful thanks...a little ahah moment for me was realizing that the “&” is a down strum for 16th notes instead of a up strum like on 8th notes.

I dont understand this strumming and all the 16th stuff
Can’t understand why you’re not telling us what chords to play, that would be great. VERY frustrating otherwise.
