                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It's written wrong. Sorry. In fact, the last three examples aren't together at all. <br><br>I'll work on getting it corrected, but here's a quick run down:<br><br>First, the example marked "Tom's Exercise 9" should be part of "Example 3." Both of those examples are played in the third MP3 file. <br><br>Second, "Example 4" is currently in the wrong place in the text. It should come right before the fourh MP3 file, right after the paragraph that reads:<br>You should be discovering that, with a little concentrated effort, these patterns are not all that difficult to play. Occasionally skipping an â€œupâ€ is usually pretty easy for most beginners. But skipping downstrokes, ah, that's another kettle of fish.<br><br>Let's tackle this technique by prepping ourselves with the following pattern:

Finally, this is the notation that should accompany the fifth MP3 file, right after the paragraph reading:<br>This is just another pattern where we're hitting each beat with a â€œdownâ€ and occasionally missing an â€œup.â€ Take a little time to get it into your system. When you feel ready, we're going to skip the â€œdownâ€ on the third beat. Set? Here we go:

With everything that's been going on, I'm afraid I've missed a few mistakes that happened between writing the articles and piecing them together on the Internet.<br><br>Hope this explanation helps a bit. If not, just sing out! <br><br>Peace]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm a little confused with the posted strumming pattern for Exercise 4.  The lead-up talks about skipping the down stroke on the 3rd beat, and the follow-up discussion is about keeping the motion even when you skip a down beat -- but the strumming pattern listed doesn't skip any down beats.  It's basically 1-2-&amp;-3-&amp;-4.  Am I misunderstanding completely, or is there an error in the posted Exercise 4?]]></content:encoded>
