facilitating a more ringing strum from the guitar PoV: there are certain axes that "beg" to be strummed and allowed to ring out, as their timbres are complexly beautiful with harmonic richness (conversely a dullish, fundamental-heavy guitar benefits from percussive/muted strumming). so if you have a guitar that is beautifully voiced for chimey sustain, play that. it'll bring back the desire to use a ringing strum. (hint: a 12-string is a natural for this!)

from a technique PoV: use more open ("cowboy") chords, as these sound fuller and more complex than "higher up" barre equivalents. plus, not using the barre removes the easy temptation to use fretting hand muting.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/purcussive-strumming/#post-331375 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/purcussive-strumming/#post-331254 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:02:14 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/purcussive-strumming/#post-331254 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/purcussive-strumming/#post-36286 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 07:02:45 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/purcussive-strumming/#post-36286
