Forgot to add.. Keep in mind when trying to play a strum you have to play the chord as a guitar pick would going down the strings.. It wouldn't be all the notes at the same time, rather one note after the other, both fowards with the chord and then backwards. After you've done this and can play it to your own personal liking, you must then put a rythmic flow to it.. There are tons of different strums you can do. The 550 would really help you out on this one.. It has those new "folk pick" guitars that would work great with a strum. If you really want to rip out some acoustic strums the best thing would be a keyboard with a good programable arp. I remember my old Roland XP-60 had some killer preset strums.. You can do it with an arranger, but it takes some time to get it down right.... Best to do is slow down the tempo when you're recording the strum... Trying to play it at a tempo of lets say 110-115 is going to tire your fingers out REAL FAST....
