[G] [A]
All right, the [F] next technique that we're going to explore is the triple strum and basically you're just going to use these two [D#] fingers your index
And your [D] thumb okay, and what you're going to do is you're going to [F#] strum down with your index like this one
And then you're going to strum up with your thumb
Two [F] and back up with your [D] index, and that's going to make [A] number three so [G] just like this one
[F#] Good, so when you do it on the initial [D#] the first stroke when you strum [F#] down make sure that your thumb also
Passes you know the four [G] strings as well because it's going to have to come up right
[F#m] You don't want to go one and you have your thumb still here because then [D#] you're going to take some time to come down
You get your next stroke, [F#] so you're going to lose some time that way so what you want to do down
[G]
[F#m] [F] Try it together okay, and
[D#] one two three
[D]
[E] Okay, now sometimes it helps if you keep your fingers
[D#] relaxed like this

of the fourth string.
And we're just going [D] to strum with our triple strum and we're just going
to do one [A] series.
So it's just going to be one and then to our B [D] flat major chord, B flat major
seven chord, where we're going to slide up these two fingers here and then we're going to add the
first fret [G#] of the second string and that's our B flat major seven chord and [A] we're going to do
the same [Dm] thing.
And back down [A] to the A.
