Strumming
Strumming:
When the plectrum is drawn
quickly across the strings, in which all the notes of a chord sound more or
less simultaneously, is call strumming. In strumming you will not easily be
able to distinguish one note from another.
The
strumming, rhythmic style is one we shall use for our accompaniments at first.
It is therefore important that you should learn to strum with a regular beat,
in order to make your accompaniment as rhythmic as possible. Pick a chord and
start strumming counting 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &.
Here are the some examples of Strumming Patterns have been used in most popular Indian and Western Songs-
