Tennis Elbow stops play, this Is so frustrating , Left the guitar alone for a week ,
within 10 minutes of playing pain Is back.
I used to practice six seven hours a day and would be fine . aargghhh!!!
Advice for Strumming practice (away from RS) @ lowender
Pick a nice sounding full chord get a metronome . Practice down strokes, practice up strokes, practice Alternate up and down strokes.
Start with quarter notes and go through all sub-divisions
Then mix the sub-divisions up.
Work on syncopation hitting that 1 downbeat harder (really helps) and then change the beat that gets the harder stroke (up or down)
@ Mikson
I think most find a few tones they like and stick to them like a distortion a clean sound.
I am sure I remember someone saying you can use a pedal to change these also ??
