What kind of rhythm is this?

[Dusan]

Hi to all,

I can not figure out what rhythm plays the guitarist on this video.
Is this 8 or 16 beat or something ellse...?

I am looking for Guitar Pad or Style with this kinde of beat...

I think he is just changing the chords all the time.
I would try the styles of Acoustic Rock or 90sGuitarPop in the Rock section in about 80 bpm.
rather something from the ballad section.
Maybe we could ask that talanted dancer and give us some more informations about the rythm

I believe it is just a 4/4 time.  You can hear the downbeat that is consistent. Just a different type of strumming pattern........

Here is a guy playing nicely the song on the piano.

And a video with some drums on the backround.
I don't know if they can help someone to find a style for this song.

That kinde of struming Guitar we can fined most in
all Balad's all ower the world and for me is incredible
cos we cant fined that rithm patern in Yamaha
instrument's.No in Styles and no in Pad's files,even in
new Genos.
Guitar struming is a general problem in Yamaha styles
and in the same time is most inportant instrument in all song's
and I dont believe cant be don.
Please listen Guitar struming in this video.It's almost the same like in first video...

Hello Dusan

It's tough for me to find a style for a song if it isn't in English as I play by ear and sing the song when looking for style parts.

Here is what took me 5 minutes to find for this song:

Malo Mi Za Sricu Triba Chords
C           G
Lipi grozdi srca moga
Am        F
puni vina njegovoga
Dm        G         C
a on nece doc u jematvu

I just chorded the above in this clip:

This strum I found in a custom song style that I made for doing the song "Kiss Me or Not".

I just changed the Guitar voice to Nylon in the short clip I made.

I don't recall what style this strum came from originally BUT I can assure you it was from a Yamaha Preset style. I have always found a useable "close" sounding guitar strum, it just takes some time to do the searching.

My guess is this strum came from a LATIN style originally. If you want a closer match you will need to combine it with another strum. If you look at the Yamaha guitar styles closely you will find that this is how Yamaha makes many of their patterns.

If this strum isn't what you are looking for ... just keep listen to your preset styles .. it's in there somewhere.

Hi Drake,

I am glad cos you respond on my post (in the mid time I weighting for your's
converted Genos style's to T5).
I know that kinde of Guitar struming I can find in preset Styles,but is not close anaf
for my taste of playing.
Most all guitar struming in Style's has wrong acent in beat.I know :it's close,but...Meny
Yamaha Guitar struming has first strong acent and thre normal in 4/4 beat.
In that struming shuld be first down long ,second little shorter down  and thre up and down.
Acent in beat shuld be allmost without acent in all struming-maby first a little.
Sory but that is my theory.I can play that directly on Guitar but can't programing in Style...
Still dont know what is the name of that kinde of Guitar playing...?

There is nothing very fancy about the chords or strumming on this, it's just a 4/4 guitar strum. But there are many different 4/4 guitar strum possibilities and not all of them are covered by styles. If you cant find one you like for a particular song, you have to either pick something close or edit an existing style. What Drake has given you would work for the song, but I agree it's not the same as the one used by the guy in the original video. So if you want to replicate it you are probably going to  have to create it yourself. It's not easy to create strum patterns on the keyboard, so good luck with that!
There is no particular name for this strumming style, guitar players have dozens of different strum patterns they can use to vary the feel of a song.
