Help with Crash for a newbie

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Help with Crash for a newbie

Post by Leach »

I just started playing guitar etc...etc...
I was told Crash is a good starting song so I started there. The part I cannot quite get is the strumming. It sounds like when Dave strums each of the chords he strums somthing else before he gets to the next chord. Is this just TIm I am hearing, or am I not strumming right. I watched the video and it seems like I hear it there to. Is there a special strumming method I am to use hear?
