Starting a phrase with a downstroke?
Paulius Volkovas
✭✭✭
Is it always true you have to start a phrase with a downstroke? It feels odd sometimes, especially if the phrase begins on the upbeat.
Comments
If I have an offbeat/upbeat fist note and then a sweep or couple of downstrokes I will start with an up at higher speeds
Downstrokes almost exclusively at low speed common sense at all times
