A RHYTHM GUITAR PRIMER: Keep that pick hand moving in time, until it becomes second nature. A VITAL RESOURCE FOR PRACTISING AND IMPROVING RHYTHM GUITAR SKILLS: Practise strumming complex rhythm patterns and get your timing perfect! A USEFUL SONGWRITING TOOL: Find the perfect groove for your next song! ----- Strumming in 8ths is: * 4 down-strums on the numbered beats * 4 up-strums on the 'ands': 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & = down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up. Strumming in 16ths is: * 8 down-strums on the numbered beats and the 'ands' * 8 up-strums on the in-betweens: 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a = down, up, down, up, etc... IMPORTANT: Always keep your strumming hand moving up and down evenly - including rest strokes. • Practice with a click and one of 27 chord shapes. • Save your favourite patterns • Shake to randomise the pattern • Different notation types • Muted and ringing chords Designed and produced in collaboration with guitarist and tutor Simon Nelson

Very useful for the beginner

A very handy little app for anyone starting out with an acoustic guitar and for who strumming and rhythm are not quite as easy to master as they look. Basic but effective.

Great for 4-4 timing

It’s good for 4/4 timing for quarter, eights and sixteenth notes but nothing else. Doesn’t do 3/4 or 6/8 timing, triplets etc. another upgrade needed is the when the phone locks, the app stops playing the sounds. The app has a lot of potential, but beefs a few upgrades.

Good for what it is but very limited in application. Lacks other time signatures and only plays full strumming . No mutes

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Fixes a crash on iOS 9. This was due to changes to the behaviour when AAC audio files were decoded. As a quick fix I have switched to uncompressed mono audio files. Hopefully stereo samples will be back in the next version!
