I've tried finger picking, strumming, down picking, frailing, up picking, drop thumbing, how about down thumbing? I'm not sure what else to call it. I was messing around trying out different ways of plucking this drum on a stick, and I came up with picking with the thumb, and combining it with a strum-thumb that I picked up from the uke and guitar. Its got a fuller, softer sound to the more strident down picking with the back of the finger nail. What d'you think?
Wow!!-getting good-
ReplyDeleteI love the definition of the 3 types of strumming a player can do-
1-down
2-up
3-I lied there are only 2!
any thing else is a combo of the two
-well it was a sort of Zen moment for me!!
