This is kind of a silly question, but how do I control how loud or how soft I'm strumming/plucking?
Obviously strumming harder warrants a louder sound and vice versa; but is there a special way to practice (or a particular way one plucks/strums that will ensure the resulting volume to be loud or soft) so I can control the volume better (and have no stray loud/quiet strum/pick)? Or does it just come down to more practicing, period?
I've noticed that even with a simple d du udu strum, it takes a certain amount of effort to keep the exact same volume through a song; and in songs with plucking, there's always a stray note or two that are plucked quieter (and that they shouldn't) than others.
