One thing that really gives a song some character is the strumming approach.

Any neat strums you guys wanna share? Any new original technique to strumming you stumbled upon?

Share share share~!!!
 
umm well on of my scratching methods is sorta funny. instead of just holding the strings on the fret. i leave my palm down on the strings and strum:p i'll try and get a vid to show u guys cuz it's hard to explain.. haha

Would that be kind of like a chunk? Or is it a variation of chunking the strings? Make a vid and share with us dude! :D
