thanks so much for watching! πŸ™‚

i was soooooo close to posting on time this week!! 30 minutes away… and for those of you who read this far, i have a confession about this video. well, two actually. 1) my mics were a little messed up so that’s why the audio might not sound so great… and 2) i definitely taught a completely different strumming pattern for pattern 2 when i was filming and then didn’t realize it until i was editing and didn’t have time to rerecord so….. i had to piece together my footage. so… apologies if i look robotic! πŸ˜›

as always, please don’t forget to “like” and subscribe for more tutorials coming soon! love you all!
