Staccato Strum

Lesson 4/62 | Study Time: 5 Min
Staccato Strum

Staccato Strum

The staccato strum is another popular strumming technique used in Rock. This technique involves releasing the pressure in the left hand immediately after the chord has been strummed. If executed correctly, the sound of the chord will be heard only for a split second, before being silenced by the release of the pressure in the left hand.

Listen carefully to the cassette to hear the sound of the staccato strum in Example 53. A dot placed above the strumming arrow indicates when a staccato strum is to be used. A root six Minor bar chord is used for this example, G Minor (3rd fret).

Apply the staccato strum used in Example 54 to the following chord progression. Root six bar chords G Minor (3rd fret), and F Major (1st fret) are used.

A variation on the previous rhythm is used in Example 55. This time the staccato strum is only used on the second and fourth beats of the bar. The following root five bar chords are used -F Minor (8ih fret), C Minor (3rd fret), EbMajor (6th fret) and Db Major (4th fret).
