Hello everyone. I play this i believe very common strum pattern with rest stroke on bass to obtain a lot of volume (i usually play in hotels, without amplification) and have a good control to pick the right string. It works very well on a pattern like this: B DU B DU. The problem comes as you can imagine, when you use downslanting to achieve rest stroke, and you have to pluck the strings on the upstroke after the second B.
B DU BU DU. IN that moment you loose fluidity, and it’s impossible to gain high speed on some fast country rhythms using this pattern, also in shuffle version.
I’m sure i have to change technique, at least on second B.
Can you help me please?
