Week 7 - Strumming 16ths

In this module, we will look at dividing the beat even further. 4 equal notes in 1 beat are called 16th notes and the strumming pattern possibilities are endless; where we may have had around 6000+ possible strumming patterns with 8th notes in one bar we have more than 43 million now! Let's look at just a few of them.
