strumming techniques..

[Debi42]

I noticed on here that they don't have anything strum wise, unless I am not looking in the right place.
Does anyone know if they have strumming tabs or session about strumming.
I would like to learn fingerstyle, but at the moment into strumming.

suggestions anyone??
:)

I can't think of any examples to direct you to, but strumming is fairly simple. In most cases, just strum down on the downbeats and up on the upbeats. Just hold a basic chord and try some stuff out for example:

D D DUD repeat
D DU UDU repeat

Becomes second nature in no time. Try listening to the rhythm of some simple songs and match it for more ideas.

This clip from Anders Mouridsen's tutorial on Free Ride actually explains strumming really well:
