Hey there, friends! Quick lesson where I walk you through learning the percussive slap-strum technique. This lets you make a percussive thwack! as part of your down-strum motion, by means of muting the strings with your strumming hand. This technique is quite tricky to get the hang of at first, but I have a three-step process I’ll walk you through in this video. I suggest working on each of these steps on their own, as part of your practice routine - and before long you’ll be ready to play this full technique.

For long-time viewers of my channel.... back in lesson number 197 (many years back) I originally tackled this same topic - though I didn’t show the helpful point-of-view camera angle. I also used a slightly different step-by-step how-to process that I wanted to teach differently this time around.

This the best Percssive lesson I have come across: breaking down the technique into simple steps.
Great job, David.
As a beginner I welcome detailed instructions i love your lessons thank you
The best instruction and demonstration of this technique I've seen in the couple of years I have been learning. Thank you.
The camera angle is very useful!
Thanks a lot for this
David, this has been the best tutorial on this technique, thank you!
Thanks a million. I've been trying this slap strum for ages(doing it all wrong.)
Finally got it thanks to your tuition.
Thank you David.👍
Great lesson. I’ve got some work to do! This is a very detailed well explained lesson. Great job! Thank you!
How about doing it with fingerstyle? I loved this lesson!
Yea I don't use a pick
Nice, detailed lesson, thanks.
Great lesson thanks David😊
Using that odd angle camera is Brillant! I can see exactly what you are doing.
Really good tutorial, thanks a lot!
GREAT LESSON!!!🥰🎸🎸🎸
A great demonstration! Thanks a lot!
This is a really cool lesson….plus one on the request to look at this for a more finger style like Ed Sheehan and John Mayer and the like.
That was a good lesson! I had been ignoring it because I thought it would be too difficult, but you explained it well, THANKS.
So excited I am finally “getting” this. Thank you.
Great lesson please keep them coming
Excellent thanks
very cool my goal is to write and perform a new original with the slap strum.
Great lesson bud 👍🇮🇪
Thx ❤a bunch
My favorite strum. 🎉. Ya, took me awhile to master, but now I just jam on it.
Do you teach the song by Ringo Star "Your Sixteen " ? A good song to use this Percussive Slap. --- Chords C G7 E7 F D7 A7-- capo 1- - Would like to see your version !
Night Moves by Bob Seger is a great song to use this on.
Thx, what model taylor u r using. Looks small and comfortable.
swift
is this possible if you are fingerpicking?
yeah. I was taught to have a pinky home position, so when you slap the pinky goes to the pick guard instead of the pick position. You just don't want to lose your bearings on your picking fingers
An interesting lesson, but the video's nine minutes and 54 seconds too long!
