how does Dave strum on So Much to Say?

[geo3217]

Is Dave constantly moving his picking hand (pendulum strumming) on So Much to Say, or does he occasionally keep it steady?

[AlpineValley]

He doesn't stop strumming at all, he always keeps his hand going, look at this video at about 6 seconds and at about 17 seconds

that one might help a little more.

to answer the question though...yes he stops his hand. you just got play along a LOT until you really get a feel for it.

You have to really get into the strumming is his songs. To keep the beat dave continues to strum even when hes muting strings. So basically just strum the beat in his pattern.

does Dave always move his strumming hand nonstop on chord-type songs like that?

[AlpineValley]

^for the most part yes, even if he is not hitting the strings, his hand is still moving.

Thats how he keeps the beat and all that. I think he might have a bit of trouble with timing and thats a simple way to always stay at the right pace through out the whole song. A lot of guitarists do it. I do. Simple and easy way to play. Good luck with So Much to Say you'll get it eventually!

does Dave ever go like this instead of doing the individual slide 4/6?

No doubt he does. I'm sure he doesn't make a big deal out of making sure he slide from 4.
