My ear tells me that it’s likely that Vance used a thin flatpick ( like these) to strum the rhythm part. On the strums in parenthesis you miss the strings as you go by. If you superimpose the two on top of each other it looks like this: The Strum: D D U D UĮverywhere there is a gap in the original pattern you don’t strum – but your hand keeps moving! So all together the pattern will look like: D(U)D(U)(D)UDU Your hand is now going to make the motion of: DUDUDUDU in the same space as the “real” strum, which, remember, is: D D UDU.īut you aren’t going to hit the strings for every strum otherwise it would sound wrong! Instead, you are going to (while continuing the non-stop down/up pattern) move your hand closer to your body when it’s time to sound the strings and further away from your body when it’s not. To do this, you need to change how you think of the pattern a bit. If you keep the strumming hand “ghosting” over the strings during the times you don’t play, it’s much easier to keep your momentum and build a groove. The trick is to keep your hand moving down and up even when you aren’t strumming the uke! That’s down, down, up, down, up (then repeat).
