Hi, I have a question! When you’re strumming, do you only strum from the string that correlates with the chord you’re playing…down? Or do you strum on all 6 strings no matter what the chord? For example, if I’m on C major, do I only strum from the 5th string down? Thanks for any information!

Mike DeCamp says:

Let me say, the hard work you put in (as referenced in your later 12 Bar Blues vid) is muchly appreciated Marty. When I see you have a video on a song or subject that I am exploring, I know that I'll get a fantastic foundation to learn from. Thank you sir. Hope you're well and healthy. TYSM

Hey marty thanks for making these videos. I just picked guitar up after about a 10 year break and this stuff has been a great fun refresher.

Robert Michon says:

This is just superb, I've been looking for "learn blues scales on guitar" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of – Wanichael Corylexander Equalizer – (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
