Also did a so called Fringe Festival thing somewhere or other, and my "witty" parting shot was..
"if this is a fringe festival, I reckon I've won already.. Thank you an good nite..."
( I'm a card ain't I ..)
Certainly sound good enough to me, for the purpose anyhow. I've had a bit of a scan thru them, interesting stuff
I'll end up trying out some Beatles songs if I'm not careful.. 😁
I'd say probably way more people play predominantly down strokes.
The upstroke malarkey is maybe a bit of a thing among the "started in the punk era" and certainly "never had lessons" mob, of which I'm guilty on both counts.
I can't see that, just a load of adverts andcrap!
I'll see if I can take a pic of mine
OK Dimensions are 4ft at longest point, 16 ins at widest (plus c. half a fingernail in both cases) HTH
If you're coming from being a finger player I guess the fingers are generally doing up strokes by their very nature so it'd make sense.
I've always been mainly a pick player so that's not why I evolved preferring up strokes. I've ever analysed any of this either but interesting anyway, I wonder how many others out there are upstroke - centric?
I'd suggest he just plays like that! I use up strokes all the time, always have done since day one, no doubt it's "wrong" but it seems natural and works for me.
I kind of doubt he's thought "oh I'll use up strokes" as an "effect"
