Much mahalo! Were the jazz strums easy to follow?

[@yunewild9710]

@@JJMilare Your instructions are very well explained. DU chuck is also my go-to jazz strum pattern. I started to use diminished chords for intros after watching Kimo Hussey playing Today. Are you interested in a joined cover of L.O.V.E.? That would be fun!

[@JJMilare]

@@yunewild9710 yea i like DU chuck for my jazz! and Kimo Hussey is the man! Yea a LOVE cover would be cool! How do we start?

[@squashdevicer]

I forgot to ask you about these jazz strums. Are they 2/4 or 4/4 per measure?

[@JJMilare]

Good question...I honestly don't know how they are appropriately written down since someone taught me by showing me these strums. But I would say it would depend on the song and the timing of each measure of the song in musical notation. The good thing is that 2 and 4 are related so you an speed up or slow down your strum as necessary! :). I hope this helps..sorry if it wasn't too technical.

[@squashdevicer]

JJ Milare Thanks. Judging from the way you strum for LOVE, it’s like a double of 2/4 per measure.

[@JJMilare]

You’re welcome! Oh ok 2/4 it is! Do you study music?

[@squashdevicer]

JJ Milare Not really. Retired engineer. Just know the basics.

[@JJMilare]

@@squashdevicer Oh ok! The basics are good too! :)

[@squashdevicer]

Second one is harder with short fingers!

[@JJMilare]

Yea I would say so too! It's a good thing I put 2 different ones huh? 😬. I didn't even realize that the 2nd one would be difficult with short fingers. Mahalo for letting me know!

[@kb2023]

Wait. Are you Ilonggo?

[@JJMilare]

No I am not..Are you ilonggo? Why do you ask? 😁
