Greetings Friends! I hope you’re feeling comfortable with your G and C chords in the work song "Pay Me My Money Down." They certainly don’t have to be perfect right now but I hope that as the days pass you’re feeling a sense of progress. In this lesson we’re going to take a look at the strumming hand and see what we can do with our strumming hand to give the song a groove. So much of what we’re learning now will become second nature very soon but for the moment it requires a bit of relaxed concentration. We’ll talk a bit about what that means too. These early stages of learning are the most challenging, the fun increases exponentially so I’ll be giving pep talks in this lesson as well. This is social music making and the joy comes from the process and it's never ending. What changes though is the sense of musical possibilities - that grows every day...if we stay in the game!
