Blues in Texas
@Elio that is precisely how I perceived the onset of my attempt at Triads. The economy of motion is one of my goals in learning Triads.
I have mentioned multiple times my exposure to a horn in jr-hi band. The instructor (band leader) always had his baton tapping on the podium/music stand whenever we were playing in the classroom. That has always been my foundation in timing and to this day I have decent rhythm when strumming guitar. As evidenced by comments from a friend who is a very good player.
The strumming aspect of playing is not a long standing event in my electric guitar repertoire. When I first began, I was taught how to play lead parts of songs of the day. I never knew what strumming was all about. Then in my second attempt at electric (40 yrs later) my instructor built on my lead experience and never emphasized strumming. So fast forward another 15 yrs and I am now exposed to all sorts of techniques via BGU.. Go figure I still have reasonably steady rhythm.
One never knows what the reaction to a new venture may bring. Experiences in life have twists and turns and we my discover an unusual or new sensation when we do.....
