Guitar Noise

This time out we add the technique of crosspicking (using individual notes instead of strumming or partial chords) to give some variation and interest that basic strumming wouldn’t cover.

In our sixth podcast we’re going to begin looking at 3/4 timing. Using a simple progression we will employ a “bass/strum” pattern and then add in a bit of a walking bass line to move things along.

In this, our fifth GN Podcast, we’ll continue to make our playing more interesting by adding walking bass lines into our chord progression strumming.

With this podcast you’ll hopefully start to feel more confident that you can strum where you want without thinking twice about it.

In this Podcast, we’re going to start with looking at the differences between strumming various note values, in terms of timing, and try a very simple exercise.

Our second GN Podcast picks up where the first left off – we’ll take a “basic” strumming pattern from the first podcast and then spice it up by means of adding simple hammer-ons to the chord being strummed.

This first podcast is also the first in a series on strumming, covering the very basics of strumming – using fingers as well as a pick.
