              Country Strumming & Walking
Country Strumming
Country strumming is a style that is most apparent in country, bluegrass, and folk music,
although the concept is widely used in blues, jazz, and rock. The effect of country
strumming is that of a bass drum and a snare drum – BOOM CHICK BOOM CHICK – played
as 8th notes.

We are down strumming & down picking everything. No up strumming!

We break each beat into two pieces. The first piece is the lowest note in the chord
(the 1, 2, 3, or 4.) The second piece is the rest of the notes in the chord (the ands +.)

               G chord                 D chord
        1 +   2 +   3    + 4 +   1 +    2   + 3    + 4    +

Walking Into Chords
When walking into chords, we play the two, three or four notes (in the scale/mode of
the song) that land us directly on the note of the chord that is coming up next. Walks
are usually played on the bass notes/strings. Walks can be ascending or descending.
Walks are played a few beats before the chord is strummed.

If the chord is played on beat 1, then a two note walk will be played on beats 4 and +
of the previous measure. A three note walk will be played on beats + 4 + of the previous
measure. A four note walk will be played on beats 3 + 4 + of the previous measure. It
is critical that the notes are from the mode of the song and that the rhythm is perfectly
timed to land on the first beat of the chord that we are walking into.

It may be helpful to brush up on the modes to be certain that you are playing the correct
notes when creating your own walks. However, we may choose to use chromatic walks

                                                                                        2

(one fret at a time) for certain chords. A combination of chromatic walks and modal
walks make for a lively song!
In addition to our walks, we will be using country strumming whenever we are
maintaining a chord. This gives a full effect on the music, the BOOM CHICK aspect of
the drummer, the walking bass line, and the guitar chords. You have become a full
band!
