Hi. :) I am sorry for the dumb question, I know nothing about music as this question will tell you. I cannot follow what the strumming pattern is. Is it just down strokes or ups as well? Thx!

Kevin, I just sent a friend to this lesson and listened again myself.  YOU ARE STILL THE MAN.  Best lesson ever.  God bless.  And I agree with Thor.

The guitar is spot on, it was made by Chickenbone John so I know its well made, I think its probably more to do with how I use the slide. More a self made problem than a tool one lol. I tuned up to DAD using a tuner, which I know you hate lol, but then tweaked it and got the guitar sounding just how you said in the Video..... Its gotta be a me problem Im sure.
