I've been working on my bluegrass chop. One of the common strum patterns is to pluck the bass note on the beat and chop the chord on off beat. When using this pattern and playing a G-C-D progression (as an example) the problem I'm having is that the bass note is the same for the 4 chord (D) and the 1 chord (G). To my ear, this makes the boom-chuck sound funny as the bass note isn't changing when the chord changes. How do you guys solve this problem?
