Coming from a background where I've dabbled with guitars and basses, I'm a bit ashamed to say that I'm having a little trouble with using my index finger for down / up strumming!
I can chugg away at the strings with the best of them ( I even find it pretty easy to chunk), but can't seem to stop concentrating on the strumming when it comes to using my index finger for anything other than down strums. As such, tend to either mess up and lose rhyme when I'm singing along, or end up tugging the strings too hard on my upstroke...
I am getting better with practice, but short of this, any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated
