Re: Troubadour
I'll "try" to explain. I'm hoping I don't confuse the matter though. Listen to the drums. Thier kinda like... boom cha, boom boom cha. Change that just a little for guitar into ... boom cha cha da boom boom cha. Okay so on the booms you just down strike the bass note, the E string. The cha's are down on the other five strings and the da is an up stroke on the three high strings. I don't know if that will help or hinder. I don't really know how else to explain it. The strumming part has always come natural to me, its the meedly meedly meedly meedly meedly meeeeeeeeee part I can't get my left hand to do.

That is about the most lucid description of listening for a strumming pattern as I've ever seen.
