I am really lacking in my ability to come up with unique strumming patterns - which becomes more obvious when I play my acoustic - If anybody can direct me to a site/link etc that will help me that would be great. Wish I could do more of the funk style of strumming but I'm lame
Question (Which I may not explain well) - I have seen strummin patterns(8th note Up Down Patterns) where they show a "tie" between a Down note and an Up note, Which means on the next up stroke you don't play, so the previous down stroke is ringing through the up stroke(ex - U D n D), but then I see on the same pattern notation, The "tie" not there and the staff for an Up stroke not showing either(ex U D D) which is saying to not play the Up stroke- I don' see the difference between the 2 but they are supposed to be different in some way. how these are different sounding - The fact of the matter is we are letting the Down stroke ring, and missing the strings on the next up stroke .
Am I making everybody confused or does someone know what I am saying and can help.
I am starting to realize how important good strumming is, and want to get better.
Pehaps some lessons as well as some training exercises , Kris.
