You crack me up
Certainly helped me with my new albumin
🤣🤣👍
After trying and failing to play the guitar, around 5 times over forty year period. I saw this video and had to try it. I could always make the chords, just struggle to make it musical. I have been playing and learning for 3 1/2 years now. In fact I feel comfortable enough to learn how to play the piano now. Thank you for filling my retirement years with music.
When you get bored of a pick so you use an egg
When you can't find your pick so you use an egg instead
Music teacher here, always looking for new ways of teaching things. I love this!!
Why am I watching this?😂 I’ve been playing for 7 years
Vertigo Clips same
You can always learn more
Relate.
Same
never too late
That guitar sounds so rich
What guitar is that?
A small loan of a million dollars
I agree. It sounds like I can't afford it.
It’s a Martin d-28, not quite millions but it’ll cost you 3k!
Brilliant! I've been using this technique with my students over the past few months, and it has dramatically helped them. Thank you!
@@ngoh2002 wtf...
How come, dramatically?
Personally I use it for many years when playing as a street musician. It gives you a great percussive sound so, I recommend using it even if do not have struuming problems :)
instructions not clear egg broke inside my guitar
Gotta hard boil it. Duh!
The-Art-of-Guitar I literally thought that was the excercise and you'd have to not tear the egg but still touch. See I learnt guitar at Shaolin and that's one of the methods there.
Jordan , your funny!
Rick Chapman - stop egging him on
The-Art-of-Guitar I like your profile picture
Hi , I don’t know if you still read these comments from older videos
But since I’ve found your channel , you’ve helped me immensely with my progression with guitar and I feel more confident in my playing ever since .
Thank you so much for these videos
Hi Karina, that's awesome to hear! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
the empty strokes in strumming patterns have been a difficulty for me, that seems a good way to overcome it, I'll definitively try this.
really appreciate how thoughtful, professional, and patient your videos are. so many of the "beginner" vids on YT go way too fast and lack the supporting ideas and visual aids that help beginners learn
thank you, this teggnique really helped me a lot.
I have been struggling to play guitar for years. Strumming is the reason I've quit so many times.
It took me about 15 minutes of shaking to get this technique down. And I'm strumming so well... Thank you thank you for teaching. ♥
I always wondered what those eggs at the music store are for
PROBAL MALAKAR not this
I experimented with some other dairy products. The butter got too slippery and my glass of milk sloshed everywhere. Just stick to the egg... trust me on this.
Robert Brotherton but eggs aren’t a dairy product 🤔
'other' dairy products...?
cow egg?
🤣🤣🤣
I must express my gratitude. I have been playing for over 20 years, albeit with some breaks. Despite my efforts, my performance was lacking. Many people commented that I was not in rhythm, but I believed I was playing accurately. The issue was resolved by a simple trick involving an egg. It made me realize what was amiss-I was consistently lagging behind where I should have been.
Your exercise has greatly aided me in identifying and resolving the problem. Thank you once again. You achieved what several teachers were unable to discern and communicate to me.
Thank you again.
As someone who's been playing for years, adding a shaker to my strumming hand for added effect is a revelation! And it also happens I've recently been trying to teach someone chords/strumming on a ukulele, so double thanks for posting this insightful video. This just might make it click for her!
That's a great tip. Non-stop pulse in the body, of the meters in your songs, is so important for good rhythm. Thanks for the great idea!
That went over easy.
oh screw strumming i'm gonna become a technical egg shaker
Tambourine institute of technology.
I'm a drummer, bass player and guitarist. I don't really have any problems with my rhythm (other than sometimes I drag a little with walking bass lines) yet I'm still watching this. You've got so many great weird learning tips. Even though I don't need this, I still love it!
A Good tip for beginners man. By keeping that strumming hand constantly moving it acts as a metronome. Helps your timing out immensely
I scrambled to get my guitar
I'm gonna lay off the egg puns. Been scrambling my brain to think of them but now i'm fried! Some were eggselent but others just boiled over, I felt like I was poaching for more. They were cracking at first but now it's no yolk...
Eggtraordinary
Genius tip! Thank you. I love how non-condescending you are as a teacher. Makes all the difference to a student.

@@michaelaliner6339 no I am.
Ashen One no I am
Нет, это я
No I am
That guitar sounds amazing.
Brilliant! This is a tremendous lesson, learning new patterns. Or with everyone so obsessed about wondering what the storming pattern is on a particular song You can really make any song sound good with a simple serving patterns used in this technique done right. Thank you for this valuable lesson
PS
I'm off to find an egg shaker. Too bad Easter was over a month ago now.🐣
I've been doing this for a while now, and I thought I was the only one. Albeit I did it so I can add more flavor to my music rather than proper pick technique, but still, it's a great trick! Great video man! You got your self a subscriber!
great lesson. never heard of this before. As someone with no sense of rhythm this seems to help out.
They make egg shakers with a pick attached. I used to play with one like twenty years ago. I don't have amazing rhythm, so it was very helpful to me at that time.
For the most part, this lesson went over easy.
😂😂😂
The weight of the egg helps the muscle memory. Momentum is a good teacher eh?
watching the video where you explain the wrong way of strumming, that sounded pretty much how i was doing it, im gonna get me an egg shaker now, and practice this method, thank you, a great video and easy to follow, unlike most other videos i have seen :)
the amount of eggs jokes here are giving me life
Thanks dude...you really are a super good...guitar teacher!! Always explaining things that others don't or overlook!!
Okay!! Wow🤯 I have watched hundreds of videos no exaggeration on that number! And for the life of me it never clicked... I just started playing guitar a few months ago on my own and I’ve had to do FingerStyle only because I couldn’t get the concept of strumming. And bam 💥 I got it thanks to this video and your explanation thank you sooo much!! You Just opened up so many new doors for me 🙏🏻💗
Straight to amazon to buy an egg shaker
Thank you so so much! Finally strumming feels natural to me 🥰 and my strumming overall sounds better now :)
This is so helpful. I'm teaching my little cousin guitar (I'm no teacher, but I have the basics down) and this is a major problem area of his. Now, I'm going to try this with him. Peace and love mate!
Brilliant teaching tool!
Your brilliant idea worths a million!!!😘👍👍
There's no eggscuse why people shouldn't try this
That's a clever way to work up someone's rhythm, I used to do the bad strum, I didn't even realise that I could up stroke for the first few months of playing, but once I learned about strumming patterns from a magazine it took me next to no time to learn, alternate picking was a whole different story though!
This is eggsactly the strumming lesson I needed
Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try this as I struggle with strumming
Mind if I poach this idea?
This is by far the best lesson. I have always struggled with my rythm. Thank You for the advice. I will try this
He's the Mr. Rogers of Guitar instruction.
Hope you get 1M subscribers. Keep up the good work
Didn't know John cusack teaches guitar now
Lmao I thought the exact thing when I first saw him xD
Can i use the tic tac container i keep my picks in
Great idea!
All these RUclips strumming lessons are teaching rythm but I'm not having trouble with that. I can't seem to get a smooth upstroke. It's like I bang the hell out of half the strings and you can barely hear the rest. I've tried: making sure I bend at the elbow and being cognisant of the angle of the pick and making sure (or trying to) that I just graze the strings.
I'm sure it'll come with practice but it's difficult to fix a problem when you're not sure what you're doing wrong.
One genuine teacher..👍
Great video! I've played mostly lead my whole life. When I decided to get more into acoustic guitar I was very surprised how hard good strumming is.... This helped !
I'll have to give this a try, thanks! I really struggle with the rhythmic strumming patterns that skip certain beats, so I can see this as a good way to fix that.
This was really helpful. I think I have problems with rhythm and, whilst I can't lay my hands on an 'egg shaker', the video males a lot of sense!
You can get cheap little bracelets (or anklets) in Indian / hippy shops in places like Camden Town, which are easier to wear on your strumming wrist to achieve this useful effect. And perfect for playing Don't Fear The Reaper!
Thanks so much for this. I'm definitely going to try it.
funny but genius and i have never thought of a simple rhythm creation which i could hear
That’s how I learnt to play funk. Just keep the rhythm going no matter what.
I just found this video; some times I strugle to keep flowing the strummin, as you mentioned; so I think I will get one of the se eggs to practice, Thank You, now new subscriber here , like and best regards 👍🏼👊🏽👋🏾
why didn't I see this before, I could save a lot of my years trying to be good at rythm,
so how to clean the egg yolk out of the sound hole is my question...? Seriously though a lot of people i think strum and learn open cords but stuggle to put the two things together and that causes the breaks in stumming. Best thing i think is to teach them first to do everything slowly and tell student to play a open chord on the last up stroke before or as they go to change to the next chord ....as they learn the muscle memoy in changing to the next chord the open chord they play on the last up stroke in the bar when speeded up then becomes part of the song....this helped me with the timing...as it gives the student more time to transition to the next chord. Travis picking on the root chord has the same effect when doing finger picking style
Brilliant idea. I teach the same pattern and have the same issues with most of my students (stopped-hand-syndrome :-) ) I will evaluate, if the egg helps me get them enlightened. Thank you.
This was a very helpful video, thanks!

This is so funny! I actually never had a problem with keeping my strumming hand moving - I had trouble with remembering to hit the strings at the appropriate moment - but I think this egg-trick would have... done the trick :D
You're an excellent instructor....I would entrust my own child to your tutelage....don't know what higher compliment I can pay.
Have also enjoyed your "Top Techniques of [xxx]" videos...thanks for the shared enjoyment!
Interesting. I'm a long time player. Recently I've been really working on my rhythm and right hand technique. I gotta try strumming with an egg in the hand.
Omg! This helped me A LOT. I was trying to learn the strumming pattern for the song Breakfast at Tiffany’s and I just couldn’t get it right. This such an awesome trick!
You're pretty underrated, IMO. I will definitely try this out and recommend it to others.
I'll definitely try this technique..thanks
Subscribed, awaiting manly tears of joy...
HI, RUclips recommended you and I'm glad I watched..Thank you this has helped me
Dude... I have an egg shaker with pick all in one. It is awesome. Had it for years.
I used the egg shaker and have now progressed to a full chicken. Sounds great but there’re feathers everywhere . 😂 joking aside. Thanks for this great tip!
Koo Koo Kajube!
That's also a famous Bob Segar pattern - Night Moves -

Hey bro, I knew you would get the reference!
Dig your channel, and have been a sub for a long time.
I was a lead vocalist/writer for close to 30 years, and 99% of the time I wasn't playing guitar.
I taught myselfish to play on acoustic, I had a sweet Yamaha FG 365 acoustic which was a YUGE improvement over the $25 cheese cutter my mom bought at a flea market for me!!
When I became a lead vocalist I only very rarely played guitar on stage. I taught myself how to play using a Yamaha FG 365 a PHENOMENAL guitar! My favorite bands were Beatles, Wings, The Who, Super Tramp and then I also dug Crack Sabbage, and Rainbow with R.J.Dio, and I also loved Dio's first three solo albums. He didn't have the same sort of raw, filthy explosive style after Sacred Heart.
Anyway, I wasn't playing the guitar, and the only time I played it was at parties or to write with.
So at fiddy six, I've decided to really learn how to play. I have the Yamaha 340 - Epiphone Casino - and my sons bought me an Epiphone Les Paul Jr, which I absolutely love!!'
I'm digging your style and approach, as well as a couple of other YouBoob instructors. This old sumbitch is gonna prove you CAN teach old dogs tricks!
Learning guitar as with learning anything else requires the desire to learn, and time, dedication. At fiddy six (as those annoying punk kids and their transistor radios, frisbee and hula Hoops say it) I'm gonna invest the time and effort. By this time next year there's a good chance I'm struggling to play in my coffin!

I think this sounds like a good thing to try. I struggle with strumming. I'll let you know.
Hey :) I really enjoy your videos, they're all of high quality and relate sometimes to some "basic" stuff just like strumming which are definitely not basic at all when nobody is there to tell you "you're doing it wrong". These tricks are maybe the most important to handle when playing the guitar, before trying to go to far (because we all do that I think haha !).
Thanks for your content !
From now, and forever more, I shall be known as, 'The Egg Man.' Koo-Koo-Ka-Choo. I just had my second shoulder surgery yesterday. I'm on drugs. I feel like I'm rubber. Ouch!! Thanks for the great tip. It probably works, too, but I couldn't even think about strumming a guitar. Ouch, it hurt just saying it.
Hope you heal fast my friend.
Thank You.
Wow, John Cusack is full of great guitar-playing ideas! Thanks John!
will this help me play meshugga's bleed?
Miguel Fernandez Millan yes
Yes
Great, very useful for beginners, many thx.
Thank you sir
Great presentation 🎸
Great tip Mike! I’m trying to teach my brother how to strum correctly, hope this helps him.
Hey love your videos man you help with alot of issues from general beginner issues to all kinds of issues thank you
Thank you for this. I recently started playing again after a 20 year hiatus. My technique is bad, I need to find one of these shakers
Thanks for this, I didn’t even realise my strumming was off till I tried this
God Holy damn Jesus.... Thank you soo... much I had been stuck on my stumming for years now i knew all the chords could play barr Only issue was strumming.
Thank you so very much
Yes! I feel this! I do this weird and totally subconscious flourish on this strum pattern on the "and" or up after the 3rd down (I'm a beginner, so I hope that made sense). Anyhow, that flourish throws me off about 1/16 which adds up over the measures. I'm trying to be more aware and just keep the rhythm. Great tip!
This was great thanks! I had asked you about this a while ago. Great video!
What an idea sir!
cool idea, will def try it out with students!
Rhythm is something that is driving me crazy, I will certainly give this a try.
I’ll try the egg but even just the explanation is very helpful to get it into my head.
It sound really good; I wouldn't mind going on stage with an egg shaker in my strumming hand!
Thank you, I'm teaching a beginner who is having strum problems
- very stiff, slow, mechanical, no wrist turn - no shakin' goin' on (salute to Jerry Lee Lewis)
so maybe this will help him.
For a lesson this afternoon I'm using an old 35mm film canister filled with air rifle bbs -
until an egg guitar is purchased.
