I've been strumming and singing a lot in the last month. That is my goal, to be a good strummer and singer, and there is a lot more to it than just strumming some chords. There are bridges, little bits to get started, and bits to end them, and all sorts of things you can throw in along the way. And I'm memorizing a lot of them as well, so there is that angle. Then, just to have a little more fun, I'm working on making them sound natural, not forced, and that is where I discovered that just slowing down a little makes a lot of difference. I've even gone to playing to a metronome, or playing along with the songs on my iPod, because I've discovered that my natural tenancy is to push it. I have to continually tell myself that I'm singing a song, and it isn't a race. Just something for others to think about on their journey.
