Video: Tips for beginners- Where to add the extra strums?
Here is a little explanation to help you figure out where to add those extra 'ditty' strums in a tune. It's especially hard for beginners to know where to add those little extras. Where do you strum 'bump-ditty' instead of just 'bump'?
Thank you! This makes a lot of sense. I'm enjoying practicing Sugar Hill, and I see how you have placed your dittys on the longer notes in that song. I do notice that my dulcimer keeps slipping. I'll have to make myself a strap as you showed today! You're videos are so helpful!
