I've always thought of this as a "bump". I hear it in those IBMA videos where it propels the song forward. I started emulating it after hearing it performed so many times
Little known fact about the strum on 1 & 4.... Stanley Whipsnadle originated that back in bout '52... He had meant to do the regular strum, but his pick slipped after the 1st strum and it took him until beat 4 to get it re-aligned. He later said that he and the rest of the guys liked the way it sounded (kinda caught everyone off guard, of course), so he started incorporating that whenever he wanted to make sure that the rest of the guys were paying attention. He said it did a lot for tightening up their sound!! Great technique for "changing things up!"
Jimmy is a favorite of mine, though I play very differently. I see your name is sunnymtnboy. Did you play with him? I only saw him once towards the end of his career. He was still fantastic.
@@mandohat my dream was to play with jimmy, but never happened. got to jam with him once, quite the experience, lol. anyway, my comment was not meant as criticism. on the contrary, i appreciate different ways of doing things, and your is surely interesting!
@@mandohat banjo, but had to quit with hand problems, cramps, fingers going numb. pickin with al munde, beyond cool! got to meet him a couple years ago, great guy and picker!

Thanks Andy!
This is actually great advice... those full srtums on the down beats can be used (sparingly) within the tune too for emphasis.

I’ve been working on this the last few weeks. Great video!
That's a cool issue Andy! Strumming, comping , back up or whatever we want to call it, it has a thousand facets
Just last week I worked on this specific strum for 30 minutes in a classroom at Augusta Heritage Center’s camp in Elkins, WV.
Immediately noticed your lovely tone.
love your syncopated cross picking in the intro. Very Clarence White-esque!
Great way to explain how to get that sound!
Thanks, Mickey!
Thanks for great advice!

DK, people are going to believe this
Well, my work here is done!@@mandohat
Always enjoy your tips Andy
Great job as usual, Andy.
Thanks! More Rhythm!!! Also, filming outside causes lot of exposure issues with the video.
It was too nice to be inside!
That’s cool, thanks
Nicce video. Thanks
Great advice!! Let's talk about that guitar!! Holy Cow!! It sounds amazing!! I hope that's how my 2018 D41 sounds to the people in front of it!!
Probably does!
THAT is a nice guitar
Thanks!
Yep, they didn’t tell me that one.
Why won't the tell us about these things? I blame the illuminati. Good practical advice.
bluegrass rhythm = jimmy martin, check him out

That's awesome. What instrument do you play? His timing was rock solid. I played onstage next to Alan Munde once and felt that timing.
