In this strumming guitar lesson, we're looking at 8th strumming. This is where we split a bar into 8. We can play this with All Down strums for slower tempos, or with Down and Up strums for faster tempos.

Each of these strumming patterns is a gateway from the simple 4:4 strumming at Level 1 to any higher level strumming pattern. The 'Strumming Pattern Family Tree' should be seen and understood to grasp this concept. The End Goal is to be able to listen to any strumming pattern and be able to play it. Therefore, an understanding of tempo, patterns AND hand movements is crucial.
