Re: Picking vs Strumming
Even if you think you haven't actually struck both strings, you probably have; perhaps not with equal force, but still ... And even if you haven't, the other string will vibrate due to sympathetic vibration. If you do as Alan suggested, you will hear that discord, and probably one or the other string more prominently depending on whether you have used a downstroke or upstroke. In any event, when a string goes out of tune while you are playing, you will hear it right away, regardless of the direction your pick is moving!
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
