Crash Strumming

[CPTino3001]

I'm having trouble with the strumming on crash into me...I tried to hit the bass notes on the upstroke but I can't quite get it. Does anyone pluck out the non-fretted strings with a spare finger on your left hand?

wow, youve been doing some crazy stuff. i just hit the bass note, use alternate strumming on the high notes. bass, high, bass, high. its really that simple, either that or youre talking about some odd version of crash

CPtino,

do you mean muting? yeah the unfretted note, usually the d-string in the tab, you cover it with your index as it frets the A string. when you play the 4-X-2-4-5-0 chord, you mute the A string with your middle finger which is on your low E string on the 4th fret. does that help ya?

I recommend down strummming the bass notes. than alternate up and down on the high strings like wafflejam said. Good luck

peace,
Ken
