My name is Jack and I'm a strummer.
I don't pick notes much at all. Though I emphasize notes by varying my strum patterns and finger/nail balance to pick out the last string of a chord or maybe the top string on an up stroke.
Anyway, what do you call it when you try to strum to the lyric trying to make the instrument sing the song? I'm a fan of instrumental music, unlike most other Uke players, who are singers. I'm trying to sing a little as a test of my breath control and reasons...
Now a lot of times you can get by with a d-d-u-d or some other simple pattern, but Willy Nelson just throws me out in left field! Somehow he double shuffles patterns in his lyrics, yet when you watch him play he's right on the beat?
Or maybe I need a trio backing me up?
