    Video Transcript

    "Ok, over this next drum beat and what I'm going to do for the strum is a, an A Minor. And what I'm going to be starting with is F Major Bar chord. Keeping the same shape G Major and then a, A Minor on the fifth fret. And a, what I'm going to do again is a basic kind of a rhythmical percussive strum over a basic beat. And a just give you some different ideas of what you can do, strum and you know, just feel wise over a basic beat. So what I'm going to be playing is going, playing like that over a beat and with the music it'll sound like this. And so what I did there is a, it was a variation of another clip that I did with a kind of a scraping strumming, you know, and a what I did here was on each chord kept the same strum. So I was going down, up, down, up, down, up, scrape like that so I'm going down, you know, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down on each one. So, and you know, keep in mind when you're doing that to keep the down, up strokes even so you don't get caught up and get off of time."
