Hi,
I'm trying to achieve syncopation on the up strum which also coincides with a chord change.
The video below, I play C-F-G chords, the accent I want to put on is the up strum on the 4th beat, which also is when I start the G chord.
So the music goes: C (down, up, down, up), F (down, up, down), G (_UP_, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up). Then repeat.
I'm having trouble getting the _UP_ part.
In the video, I used my finger pad between times start - 0:14; and I used my thumb nail from 0:15 - end.
Not quite happy with both ATM; but before putting in more practice time, I'd like know if I should use finger pad or nail? or is there another method?
Thanks.
