Cumbia on guitar
Cumbia on guitar: the strumming pattern “bass and offbeat”, in 4/4, with audio on its own page. On the acoustic guitar, a chord progression comes to life as full, ringing shapes, with the low string anchoring the bass and the rest filling out the harmony.
On the dance floor, cumbia is instantly recognizable: a shuffling step and a swaying groove that invites everyone in, even first-timers. This page gathers the style's strumming patterns — in practice, the up-and-down sequences that keep that irresistible dance moving.
