When there’s no upstroke or downstroke sign on top of a note, how do you stum it (guitar)?
Excuse my uter newbie-ness… I started a week ago. I recently got a good guitar book (the hal leonard method) And I’m confused, because it says a certain symbol means you strike the string with a downwards motion, and a different symbol means you strike it up. So how do you strike it when there’s neither?
Also, do you know any newbie guitar songs? Like really, really easy? My favorite band is paramore but the tabs look too difficult for me, even misery business and decode, which have a reputation for being easy. (sad, I know).
Thanks!
