Holding Down the Groove

Saddle up and get ready to turn simple strumming into the very thing that drives the song–the rhythm. Whatever style of music you play, the rhythm is the magic spell that keeps the music afloat. A strong but simple strum done with the right bounce will make any song vibrant and alive. In this workshop we will explore a few different styles of strumming and find the common things that make them really work. This workshop is all about taking what you do already, and turning it into what you do BEST. 

We'll look at the simple ups and downs of strumming, and add an easy counting system that makes it clear and fun to master different types of strums. From simple folky stuff to latin and even funk and pop styles, this way of playing makes all of your strums (even if you just have one for now!) come out even and solid.
