UCL2 - WEEK 7
"COMMON PEOPLE"

This week you will explore a finger picking pattern known as an "Arpegio" which simply means to pick out the notes of a chord individually instead of strumming them all together. You will also explore how to change strumming patterns within a song and to simulate a drum beat for the middle 8 section of COMMON PEOPLE by Pulp.

STRUMMING PATTERNS

This song alternates strumming patterns throughout the arrangement. It begins with single strums in VERSE 1 then continues with CALYPSO STRUM before bursting into that DYNAMIC 8TH NOTE STRUM

8th Note STRUm

The trick here is to alternate dynamically between soft half strums on beats 1+ and 3+ and full strums on beats 2 + and 4 +. For the half strums, just aim for the top 2 strings and play them slightly softer than the full strums. 

VIDEO TUTORIALS

This video breaks down each of the strumming patterns into sections with the 3 chords: C, F & G. 
This is the full play along video at 130BPM. 
OPENS NEXT TUESDAY AT 5PM
