Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the timing for an exercise that Tomo mentions at around the 6:00 min mark in Blues Lesson TF Lesson 1. When setting the metronome to 40 bpm, the strumming pattern is down up down up down up down up, but on what count do I actually start the strumming pattern so that the accent lines up on the 2 & 4 as Tomo mentions?

Excuse me, I meant Blues Lesson TF Lesson 011

Maybe this will help . . .

Please take another look at Lesson 11, time stamp 5:55 to 6:40, where the metronome is marking beats 2 and 4. Next, count aloud with your own metronome, "1, 2, 3, 4" at 40 BPM. When you are saying "2" or "4" with each click of your metronome, start strumming on "1."
