_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[G] _ [F#] One simple way to get yourself to make the phrasing a little bit more interesting and to offset onto the and beat and
on the offbeat the and of one in this case is to
Take what was going to be a downstroke and do it as an upstroke
So I'll do that with the first and the last note of this phrase
two three [G#] four _
_ _ [A] _ _ Yeah, just a little bit more rhythmically interesting today
We're going to do a [N] lesson on tremolo and the tune we're going to use for that is written by a fiddler out of Texas
named Benny Thomason
It's called midnight on the water and I'm going to go ahead and play that for you now.
It's in [D] the key of D
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] so we'll go ahead and look at the a part of midnight on the water and

Swinging past the string and that you're [G] catching both strings on the down and up stroke
