Hello GMC!
With this lesson I'll show you some arpeggios and some rhythms on the acoustic guitar. I hope this helps to improve your playing and your songwriting skills.
When mixing the lesson, I added a chorus and a reverb effect over the guitar track. You can find three backing tracks with different tempos.

Key: E minor
Time signature: 4/4
Tempo: 76 bpm

Member	I am new to the site and I am having a promblem figuring out your strumming on this. I wish you could do a close up on your right hand playing just a little slower or have the strum pattern wrote out on the tab would also be helpful.

Jerry Arcidiacono	13th February 2008
Instructor	Hi Black Label, have you tried to use the Guitar Pro file? This can help you to get the pattern. Also, this lesson http://www2.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-les...ords-strumming/ can drive you to understand how directions works in a strumming pattern. Let me know.

Member	This sounds very much like one of my favourite bands, Toad the Wet Sprocket. Sadly they don´t play together anymore, but this really reminded me of their earlier albums. Thanks for reminding me of them!
