Adding upstrum & downstrum indications is a great suggestion. And that's exactly the sort of thing that was not done consistently in older lessons, but is now a standard notation feature.
I think if you look at anything Mike published in the last few years you will see strumming patterns taught & indicated.
I appreciate your thoughts on pedagogy. I agree with them!
Regarding a path forward, please let me know your goals & I will help you find the right content!
Thanks for your honesty!
That's great to hear~!! Can't wait to check them out in the future. I am learning from the easiest to the hardest level songs so not sure when I will get there but once I do, I for sure will greatly appreciate those strum indications/.
Thank you for your help. Like I've said earlier; the staff is top notch and I will surely reach out when I feel lost again (hopefully I won't have to ;p)
Thank you, once again, Chris./
