Talk:Strum

Traditions & cultures
I don't have the knowledge, but this article needs some information on strumming styles in different musical traditions and cultures. My personal interest is in the development of strumming from and since the early Appalachian settlers but African stringed instruments are also an important contributor to modern styles and it would be nice to read something about them too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Farrer (talk • contribs) 17:07, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Fault in the third example
The third example states "features dampened downbeat downstrokes and staccato upbeat upstrokes" while the picture uses the downstroke symbol for the staccato upbeat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.24.1.151 (talk) 06:19, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

What?
I came here by redirect from "Strummers" and all I have to say is "huh?" The first three paras of this article make no sense. TCSaint (talk) 05:32, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * The paras I was talking about have been removed. I guess it was vandalism. TCSaint (talk) 02:35, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Timing and MIDI file
When I open the MIDI file, the data in my editing program makes it look like all the notes within a single strum in the sample files provided by this article begin at exactly the same time, exactly on the beat. I would expect for a down stroke that the lower notes would occur before the higher notes and vice versa for an upstroke, so that only one note was exactly on the beat. This implies to me there is an error in the sample files attached to this article. Or is this a rounding error by my program? Thisisnotatest (talk) 08:02, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
