My Three Strums

This class consists of the three strums I use the most: a swing strum, a shuffle strum, and a rumba strum. After demonstrating each strum, we will practice it together on tunes that are available as handouts. 

The Swing Strum I use is slightly different than once I have observed and is based on rhythm guitar players from the 1930s. The Shuffle strum imitates the rhythm played by 1940s and 50s rhythm and blues bands like Louis Jordan. The rumba strum is useful in playing 1950s and 60s pop tunes like Save the Last Dance for Me.
