I'm getting better at strumming I've more control of my upstrum now... It wasn't that hard after all... But holding chords for a long time is killing my fingers.. I feel more comfortable letting it fly around the fret board for some reason...
I've notice something about you stratstrat...

You seem to harboring some ire for people whoo like shredding... Hmmmm....
Anyways I pretty much sucked at strumming a few days ago, well really really sucked at it. A guy who was pretty good at the guitar asked me to play a song, since I didn't memorize a lot of chords I played notes based on the major scale i got off this forum earlier... Seems as though quite a few songs can be converted to licks and riffs if you just know the scales... Course it took me a piece of paper and a quarter of an hour to play it right...
But in the end it still sounds more right with chords... I guess I'll keep working on it till it sounds even better than the original.. hehehe... I hope...
