32 Playing Strum Session
4.4 Specific Techniques
4.4.1 Trills
This technique consists in switching rapidly between two notes by using hammer-ons and pull-
offs. With Strum Session, a trill is played by holding the first note and depressing and releasing the
second note. The interval between the notes must be one or two semi-tones.
4.4.2 Tremolo Picking
This technique consists in repeating the same note very rapidly. With Strum Session, it is possible
to take advantage of the fact that all arp keys play the same string when only one note is played on
the keyboard. It is therefore possible to trigger again the same note by switching rapidly between
two or more arp keys with the right hand.
4.4.3 Muted Strum
A muted strum is a stroke which is muted immediately after having been played by applying the
full hand on the strings. It is less dry than a scratch (muffled stroke) and brighter than a palm muted
stroke. One way to recreate this effect is to strum a chord using the down- and upstroke keys (C5
or D5) and playing the mute all key (B5) very rapidly.
4.4.4 Partial Strumming
A guitarist does not always strum all the strings in a chord. This is why Strum Session offers the
possibility to adjust the strumming range. The control used to adjust the strumming range is located
just below the chord display and the lowest and highest strings played when triggering a chord are
specified by click-dragging the cursors located at each extremities of the control.
Partial strums can also be obtained by releasing the strumming keys before the strum is com-
pleted. In this way, the strings still not strummed, are not played. In other words, partial strumming
is achieved by playing staccato on the strumming keys while full strums are obtained by playing
them normally. This technique is easier to perform when the strumming speed is relatively slow.
