if its any consolation I used to play drums and still find strumming patterns tough ...find some of them a bit easier now with a bit of practice...still find some hard to sound 'fluid' with chord changes.
still find it easier watching someone doing a song on youtube rather than trying to read the strumming pattern written down.....I think its another one of those conscious things...start slow and try not to think about it too much.
just replaced my picks with some assorted Dunlop nylon ones which help for some faster ones I've been doing.
...hardly ever tap my foot...something I should get used to doing....but somehow manage to keep pretty good time without doing.
....U2's one is one I keep playing with at the mo....started adding some hammer ons to it as well which adds a bit to it....finding good to practice C, F maj 7 and G changes ...theres good video of a guy going through it on youtube where you can see his arm and left leg going up and down at the same time and the strums he misses quite clearly |
