Feelin It in C is a free rhythm guitar lesson by Peter Vogl. We will learn how to play the strum pattern and chord progression for Track 13 of the Let's Jam! Unplugged CD. Peter will start by teaching you the chords used in the song and show you tips on how to switch between them. The song is a country waltz in 3/4 time and we'll use a simple bass strum along with the progression. This involves picking the root note and then strumming the rest of the chord. After you've mastered this technique you should move on to Peter's Bluegrass Bass Lines premium lesson which features more advanced bass strum patterns and bass note runs.
