How to add WALK-DOWNS to your STRUMMING (Key of C)

Get my PDF chord sheet for this lesson @ songnotes.net/...
Hello friends! Today I want to answer a question about combining walkdowns & strumming, sent in by Patreon supporter Gary (thanks for your support!). Specifically, Gary wrote in asking about the Bob Seger song Still The Same, where during the pre-chorus and chorus sections, Seger is strumming G for two full measures -- and at the same time, he's playing a descending run of bass-notes that feels part of the strumming. Gary asked how Seger is doing this, and in this video I'll give an answer -- tabs included!
I'll also show 3 additional tabs (available in my Patreon PDF for this lesson), where I show how this exact same principle can be used in slightly different contexts. Taken together, I hope these examples will help you understand why this technique works so well -- and empower you to use it in your own playing.
Other lessons I've made that use this technique:
Wild World by Cat Stevens (Lesson #282)
songnotes.net/...
Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel (Lesson #51)

I’ve Just Seen a Face by The Beatles (Lesson #298)

    Fantastic! Practical, musical, and extremely well presented so that plodders, like me, can follow along. Thank you for the excellent, applicable lesson that you hear in a lot of music. This will really help me to improve my playing with a pick and/or my thumb use, on bass notes, while strumming. This is a significant skill builder, in my opinion. Thanks again!

    Jimmy Page does this at the beginning of Stairway to Heaven. The Dave Clark 5 use it in Because. And Les Paul uses this in the intro and ending of How High The Moon. Great video.

    Your made-up exercise at 11:30 does sound like "Blowin in the Wind," but it reminded me of "Dangling Conversations" by Simon and Garfunkel. Cool! :)
