[litchfield96]

what amp are you using?

[machogriz]

@litchfield96 Its an emulated Fender Bassman amp in Line 6 UX2 Studio Pod Farm

[KensY]

@machogriz Sorry if I ask noob question but, Bassman was suppose for Bass guitar right? Why do you have the idea using Bass amp? But it sounds the same with JM though...

[machogriz]

@KensY You are correct! The Bassman was originally built for Bass guitars, but apparently, guitarists found that it gave a great sound for them as well. So recently, Fender has been doing reissues of the Bassman amp, but now it is marketed just for guitar players. The Bassman emulator in POD Farm does a great job and gives an awesome guitar tone, as you can tell from this video.

Can you tell me what the strumming pattern is?

[machogriz]

@bdpouge I think I'm doing something like this:

D, D, U, D, D, X

X is like a muted strum

There's lots of variation within that, but I think thats about the base of it

So your strumming pattern is: D (UP) (D) UP D (UP) D (UP) or not?
