No doubt that Johnny Cash's legendary guitarist LUTHER Perkins will rest in peace more peacefully, if we can remember his first name. :roll:
:oops: :oops: He can rest now :lol:
my apologizes to LUTHER. that always happens. my senior moments are becoming too regular. :shock:
I appreciate the correction.
It sounds like you are trying to do an alternating bass line! "Pride and Joy" is a walking bass line song but the principals are pretty much the same.
No actually I am trying to do a walking bass line with a chucka inbetween. I can play the walking part.. its the chucka I am having trouble with.
If I get some time later I will post the walking part.
Thanks guys

Is Mrs. Robinson containing Boom Chuck style strumming ?
And what about the intro to 'Smells like Teen Spirit' ?
This is really kind of common in Gypsy jazz.
Use "Freddie Green" chords, on a mic'ed accoustic or accoustic archtop with thick strings (12's!), use a wound 3rd, have a good heavy pick that will move those strings and not stop the vibrations, and then it's a matter of really strumming with serious purpose and using your left hand to do a pull-off mute just following the strum of the right hand.
Good right hand technique is important. Your wrist should basically not move. This is all from the elbow!
