Introduction to Strumming [Guitar Guide]

In a strum there are two types of guitar stroke. They are the up stroke and the down stroke.
Throughout this book these strokes will be notated as follows:

When you play a stroke, you strum across the strings just in front of the bridge of the guitar
with the pick in your strumming hand. When strumming a chord, make sure that you play all
the necessary strings in the chord. The stroke direction will depend on which stroke is
indicated; up or down as shown above.

Exercise: Strumming the A major Chord
