Strumming is not to be sneezed at...
when it's done well.
I love Alejandro Escovedo's guitar playing in this video, and learned a lot by watching it. Essentially, he's just strumming, 2 and 3 chords with a little flatpicking. But it sounds so much richer than any strumming I've ever done because his right hand is used so well. Anyway, I thought so. And Five Hearts Breaking is fun to play. Thought I'd share it. And I don't know what that guitar is, but it sounds great through my headphones.

I love listening to Alejandro...the guy can play any style and has literally shared the stage with all the greats... I think he has what Rev Gary Davis called "a sporting right hand.."

Yes, that Irish rhythm playing reminds me of Gypsy jazz rhythm, in that it doesn't seem like it should be so tough, but is!
"A sporting right hand" is a good description of Alejandro's. I gotta work on getting mine more sporty!

You're right. Strumming can be an art in itself and has a role in virtually any piece.

This was originally posted on the Acoustic Guitar Magazine website. Here's the link:
acousticguitar.com/acoustic-guitar-sessions-presents-alejandro-escovedo/ There's a comment by someone named Tony Nobles who said that he made the guitar, a custom J45 copy, for Alejandro out of salvaged 50's Gibson parts. The pick doesn't look that thick, maybe 1.00 or 1.25 mm? I like his use of dynamics too.
