Hello,
I have a quick question I would like to ask about strumming patterns.
Before I get to the question, I want to let you all know that I like to play accompaniment. By this, I mean a person playing a piano, and I play a ukulele to accompany. I actually have a song book for piano and it has chords for guitar and ukulele.
I'm just trying to figure out strumming patterns. That's always confused me.
My current knowledge is that if it is 4/4 time, you strum Down - Down - Down Up Down Up and go with the music.
3/4 is Down - Down Up Down Up and 2/4 is Down- Down Up.
I don't know any strumming pattern for 6/4 time.
Here is my question. Besides the strumming patterns I mentioned, are there any basic strumming patterns I should learn to play accompaniment? Does it depend on the piece? This has always confused me.
Any help will be appreciated,
Jared
