Metal in F — strumming pattern
With only two chords to remember (F5 and C5), this grid lets you practise the rhythm strumming pattern almost in isolation, since the left hand has just one slide to repeat. Along with the catalogue's version in B, it's the site's simplest spot for this work.
Tips
If the rhythm pattern is new to you, start on this grid or the B one: both share the same advantage of a two-chord vocabulary.
First play the pattern on F5 alone, held, before applying it to the full progression.
Once solid here, the catalogue's three-chord grids (E, A, D, G) will demand the same technique, with one more chord to remember.
