Strumming is one of the most important techniques used on the acoustic guitar. Once you have a handle on the basic up and down strums, you can then start thinking about tone, energy, speed, and more. Here, Nicholas Veinoglou demonstrates how to experiment with tone by changing your strumming position, how to add energy by filling in space, and how tempo can drastically change the feel of any strumming pattern.
