3/4 Variations – Guitar

You can easily make your strumming more interesting when you’re playing in 3/4 time. Here are a couple of variations. The main point is that you should emphasize the first beat. So it’s like this: “ONE-two-three”. Of course how much you should emphasize that first beat will depend on the song. Generally speaking when you want to feature the “waltz-like” character of the song you should increase the emphasis.
You can enhance the emphasis, and make the accompaniment even more interesting, by striking a bass note for the first beat.
