16th Note Strumming Patterns With Dotted Eighth Notes

Just like with other types of notes, 16th notes also have rests, that look very similar to 8th rests with an additional flag on the stem. Practice these examples to get used to 16th notes and 16th rests. It is important to make sure that you are using the correct picking directions, so write in the strumming patterns before you play each pattern. Start at a slow tempo before moving up to faster tempos as 16th notes will be much faster than 8th notes at slower tempos.
