Strumming on Grey Street

Unread post by dmbRJR » Mon Feb 16, 2004 8:34 pm

I am having trouble with the strumming for the verse of Grey Street. I thought it was just a downstroke on each chord but after watching the "Videos" I noticed that is wrong can anyone help me out. Thanks!

with most or all of daves songs, i've found you just have to strum away. just keep the rhythm with your strumming hand. then try to work in the fingering around the strumming

I too just strum now. Tried to play it with downstrokes throughout but it was too hard to keep a good rhythm going. Now I just hit the 5xx6xx part with an upstroke. Doesn't sound too bad, but I still think Dave somehow hits it with a downstroke. But at least now I can keep a rhythm going.
