once again, thanks for the recommendations. But what I;m having trouble with is the technical aspect more specifically the strumming patterns and how it relates to some oif the odd time sigs they use. Like bluegrass. You can strum the song anyway you want but to get the real sound and feel you use the pluck strum technique. I wouldn't have known unless someone told me. I'm really just learning to play guitar and although I recognize that something different than what I know is going on I don't know how to do it or understand what or why. Am I making any sense? Kinda, like a pitcher throwing a curve. If you know nothing about baseball you still recognize that the pitch was different but you have no idea how he did it. Thats kinda where I am at.
