Any help would be appriciated thanks :)

I use a karate type chop using the edge of my pickin' hand.

An older song called – I'm Your Venus by Shocking Blue uses this technique. I'm sure many more do, but this one springs to mind.

I don't know of any lessons, but I'm Your Venus uses Em to A.

Em................................. A
Strum – Strum – Slap – Strum – Strum – Strum – Slap ----- and back to Em etc….

........................Em.....................A
It sounds like, dum dum click… dum dum dum click etc…

Then it goes into -

Em......A.........Em......A
Du-Du-Du-Du-Du-Du-Du-Du-slap- etc.....

If you like, I can post a soundclip for you..........

Edited last strumming pattern.

BUMP.

I really want to learn how to do this, too.

"Is there something in the guitar case?"
"Yeah."
"What?"
"My guitar."

I believe Crank-n-Jam was doing this a few weeks ago. You can ask him if he found anything...
