  • DESCRIPTION

A rake strum is a fun technique that adds a little extra spice to a strum pattern. You may recognize it from House of the Rising Sun’s main progression.

The idea is to meet somewhere between a strum and an arpeggio. You essentially “drag” your strum, as if the pick is catching on every string.

Check out the video for a demo and a pattern to use it in!
