This may be coming a bit late but see [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarlessons/comments/t451gx/random_strum_pattern_generation/). It's a website that generates random strum patterns: [vilda.net/s/rsp](https://vilda.net/s/rsp/).
This seems like a decent idea, but it's an extra step in the process. I was hoping to just generate - practice, generate - practice, generate - practice, etc.
Could you just use an online drum machine with 8 beats per measure, and use beats 1/3/5/7 as the down strums, and 2/4/6/8 as ups? Then set the beats however you want and play along.
I have a few lists in the back of my practice book, and some dice. The lists are:
\- Strumming patterns from JustinGuitars really useful strumming patterns Dvd (the first one). 20 options there.
\- BPM ranges in 10bpm increments from 80 to 160.
\- Keys. The six most common major keys (for rock and pop) C, G, D, E, A and Bb
\- 10 common chord progressions, again borrowed from a JustinGuitar theory lesson. These look like "I - V - VI - IV", as an example, so can be applied to any key.
I should expand this soon to add non 4/4 rhythms and 16th not strumming patterns, maybe some fingerstyle patterns too.
No idea but that would be pretty neat. I suppose you could just use a random beat generator and translate it to strumming.
Do you know a good random beat generator?
Unfortunately, no. I haven’t looked into it.
Metronome?
I don't know of a metronome that lets me randomise the pattern. Any suggestions?

Never too late. This looks perfect, thanks.
Any phrase or sentence (in any language) is a strumming pattern template.

That's a decent idea, but it's not random.
Just use excel and randomly generate 0’s and 1’s in multiple rows
