I believe that strumming is probably the most overlooked skill on the guitar…

So in this short video (really short… like, under 4 minutes short) I’ll show you a simple way to add some percussion and rhythm to the simplest of strum patterns.

Enjoy!

      it is a great way to play on the porch w/o a drummer. this is what i call accenting ,but, the acoustic guitar played with a thin pick gives it almost the same accent . or course this is much better . hey People there is a new thing called a (wood box amp) very cool check it out .

      Griff,

      I learned a song just two or three days ago that uses this technique. I had a lot of trouble doing the slap and staying in time though so as I’ve been playing the song I’ve just been skipping the slap. Then this video shows up this morning to confront me with my mediocrity 😆. So tonight during practice I’m going to work on this until I get it right. Thanks!
