| A strum is the act of brushing one's fingers over, or strumming, the strings of a string instrument such as a guitar. A strumming pattern is a preset pattern used by a rhythm guitar. Compare with pattern picking, strumming patterns may be indicated through notation, tablature, up and down arrows, or slashes. For example, a pattern in common time or 4/4 consisting of alternating down and up eight note strokes may be written: /\/\/\/\ The pattern most typical of rock and related styles would be written: / /\ \/\ Patterns may alternate or vary through one song. |
