The folk strum

About 5 minutes

Down, down up, up down up. Count it as one, two and, and, four and. Beat three has no strum, but your hand still moves down through the air.

Go slowly. The pattern should feel like a sway, not a scramble.

Four bars of Em with the folk strum

To pass: four bars without stopping. The mic listens only while you play, and nothing is recorded.
