The chords are no problem now, thank you very much. Will you please do a discussion on that particular strum you’re using? I’ve ran across that in several things and need a little help with it.

Indeed, these …
Indeed, these instructional vid’s ARE making a difference. I like them so much that I have been sharing them with my guitar playing friends! There is much to learn here, and the way you present it makes it easy to learn.
I know about getting dug in and buried under projects…LOL. Been there, my friend!
I will surely be looking for any vid’s you can post.:)

Thanks Rick! Means a lot to know I’m making a difference. Glad you enjoy it. I have some new stuff coming soon, and a TON of requests that I’m sure I’ll never catch up on, but will enjoy trying

PS: I fully agree …
PS: I fully agree with you about the open sixth string on the E. It HAS to be there! Same with the open fifth string on the A.
Keep up the great work, my friend!

OMG! Do you know …
OMG! Do you know how many YEARS I have been trying to figure this one out?!
I have always used the “C” configuration on the fourth fret for the E and just lazily barred the A at the fifth fret. Yeah, pretty “hollow” sounding…
I just tried it “your” way and it totally ROCKS! Going to take a bit of getting used to, but I think this is MUCH better sounding!
See, even an old character such as I can still learn “new” stuff…LOL.
Once again, Steve, THANK YOU!

You may be trying …
You may be trying to dig too deeply into the number of times or number of counts for the right hand, but rather, what is important is to keep a steady up and down 16th note strumming pattern. If you’ll notice in the video, my right hand more or less doesn’t deviate from straight up and down 16ths, and instead, the LEFT HAND dictates the rhythm by a RHYTHMIC SQUEEZING technique; relax the squeeze and you get percussive strikes, and squeeze and you get the chords themselves. Hope that helps

Awesome Steve, …
Awesome Steve, thanks! What I meant to ask is strictly on the strumming; after the initial E hammer, it’s difficult to hear how you strum the next measure: is it simply quickly up and down for five counts or is there something else going on? Appreciate your thoughts!
March 8th, 2010 at 10:14 am
Way cool! Been …
Way cool! Been trying to get this for years!
Now I have the notes; how about the strumming; the sound is perfect but I can’t tell if you are pulling off the original E hammer; could you please elaborate on the strumming ( is it straight up and down just faster or are there pulls, etc.) Sure have enjoyed the Mullis work!
