Hi All,
O.K. here is another ska alike rythem. It also bears some resemblance to
reggea chords, but also very usefull for surf.
e:| X 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 |
B:| X 6 X 6 X 6 X 6 X 6 X 6 X 6 X 6 |
G:| X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 |
D:| X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 X 7 |
stroke: D U D U D U D U D U D U D U D U
This is another variation I like to use to break the typical surf rythem
beat:
e:| - - - - - - - 5
B:| - - - -6 (6) -X
G:| - 7 (7) - - - X
D:| 7 - - - - - - X
D U
It's best to play this chord a bit muffled and also add dead not upward
strokes to it.
It is played in the same fashion as the first rythem but with double
notes on the G and B string.
You can also play the chord without the double notes, but always add a
dead note upstroke.
The rythem can be played fast or slow. It took me quiet a while to get
it right, but it sounds nice.
Also it's best to start the upstroke at the high e note.
