ok. im trying out i remember you. and theres this guy from youtube teaching i remember you..some of you might know who is he...his name is k.natsu or something like that. my question is for those who knows how to play i remember you...when you strum...do you strum all the strings? the guy seems to strum all the strings in a down stroke but when up stroke is like he strum only 3 or 4 strings..im not sure abt it...when i play that song...the sound doesnt sound like I remember you at all...help pls

oh ya...so is it true that some songs strum all strings...some just strum a few strings and some songs could be a downsytoke strum all and a upstroke some strings or vice versa?
pls help!

K.natsu is playing his own style.
All this strumming patterns ae just different styles. Some times you just strum the first few string to get a bass boost. Or maybe last few string to get that high pitch sound. It's just style of strumming.

Your next question, Same answer.. it depend on the individual on how he wanna play the song. Because if you just keep strumming all strings it will somehow become boring. Adding some variety makes it more interesting.

I kinda know how to play it. Like tsunvun already said, it depends on your own style and effect that you want the song to sound like.

Make sure your strumming pattern is consistent first, then you can try strumming a few strings versus strumming all strings for all strokes and maybe you'll find your own way of strumming.

There is also like the D chords where you are not suppose to strum the low E and A strings already.

i see...ill try to figure out then

I'm guessing some notes don't strum all strings. I was watching one of those guides on youtube aswell -those actual lesson ones haha:P- and the guy said, "Strum these strings for these notes." Probably not in those words but you get the idea. He also said that when your strumming back upwards, you don't need to strum all the strings.

could you give me the link?

You don't usually strum all 6 strings for most open string chords because some will be out of the scale.
And at some cases it's done for style.

oh...strumming is hard.

Don't worry too much Huan :lol: It's just the matter of time until you develop your own style. You would be surprise on how well you will pick up on the beats and creating the "strumming" pattern.

Personally i think it's difficult to "copy" others because it may not be applicable to all songs. When you learn to listen it is possible to get the exact strumming pattern. Otherwise just follow what "feels good" for you.

It takes patience. More practice. And a good ear. It will come to you just keep working hard! Gambatte ne! :flower

your're not suppose to??
does it sound nicer if you don't?
and if you do strum low E and A...is there anything wrong?

They don't sound nicer. They are simply not in the scale or that it would make it sound like another chord.
For example for the open A chord, you don't play the last string which is an E key. Although it's the the A scale it takes too much attention as it is a bass E and might actually sound like A/E.
Hope I didn't confuse you...... :huhuhu
