Regardless of your primary playing style, knowing basic strumming techniques is a great skill to build. In this video, Fishman artist Angela Petrilli shows a few basic patterns and gives advice on playing from the elbow vs. playing from the wrist, how to achieve good tone, and more. Andrea uses a Martin 00-28 Modern Deluxe equipped with a Fishman Matrix Infinity VT system, which was recorded direct through a Fishman Aura Spectrum DI.
