Silly question here...do I have to stick to a given strum pattern throughout the song? Or is it ok to change things up? Like when I'm playing Fly Me to the Moon...when I start getting into it, I seem to change the pattern a bit in spots, and then I get louder or even faster. Sounds funky to me, but am I breaking a musical rule? Will someone with an ear for music ask, "What the heck is he doing?"
On another note (hahaha), sometimes I find I'm strumming with all fingers on down stroke, and thumb on the up. Is that acceptable? Still learning. Slowly, but surely. Thanks all!
