How To Strum A Guitar

Strumming With Your Fingers

  • Strum downwards with your index fingernail, and upwards with your thumbnail.
  • Practice strumming downwards and upwards four times each.

Using a Pick

  • You can use a guitar pick instead of your fingernails.
  • Hold the pick between your thumb and index finger.

Playing guitar with a pick
  • Alternate picking strokes between downstrokes and upstrokes to keep your picking consistent. This is called alternate picking.
  • Thin picks are good for strumming.
  • Thick picks are good for plucking strings one at a time and for soloing. I personally use Fender medium picks for everything.

Guitar On the Spot Understanding the Code

Do you have the ambition to play the guitar, but you can't quite piece it all together?

In Understanding the Code you’ll discover the simple code that is the foundation of the guitar.

You'll use it to make up your own songs, solos and riffs up and down the guitar neck, jam with other people and figure out how to play simple songs, solos and riffs by ear.

You don’t need to read notes
You don’t need to read tab
You don’t need any experience
I never thought I could make sense of the guitar. I spent months trying to teach myself. Then my friend told me to check out this book and I finally "got it".

-Mike B., Santa Barbara, CA

"When I saw the book I thought ohhhh it’s just another book. You know I've looked at a lot of books and they basically remind me that I need to practice various chord patterns and shapes and notes, it’s all about practice, but with Jesse’s book, it allowed me to practice in a more effective way that really benefited my guitar playing."

"It brought all those things that I thought were vastly beyond my abilities down to my level of understanding so that I could apply them and improve my skills."

"I think it’s a great way to start if you’ve never played because you can just use this whole formula that he’s developed to enhance you’re playing and to learn"

-Jon B., MI

I give you an 8 week complete money back guarantee. So if you decide it's not what you're looking for I'll give you your money back.

If you've been reading a bunch of books trying to “figure it out” (that’s what I did, it took me years) and you're still confused, just check out the code and see if it clears anything up for you.
