    2. Counting Rhythm:
    Staying in time is one of the most essential jobs of a musician, especially when one is playing
    with another musician. Before counting, it’s better to know about bars/measures.

    A bar/measure is a small segment of music that holds a certain number of beats.

    Now the question is, what is a beat?


    Note: Red-colored Numbers are bar numbers. The vertical lines under the tab represent Times.

    it move up and down. But pick should not move horizontally.

    Play chords with only down-strokes.

    Now, play with up and down strokes.
