I was just wondering whats the difference between strumming and plucking? and if you guys prefer to strum or pluck? I prefer to strum personaly

From my personal experience, strumming usually implies hitting a series of strings in one fluid motion. They're hit "at the same time." Plucking implies hitting the strings individual of each other. Example: hitting an open G, then after the G hitting fretted C on the A string. Guitar players usually strum (chords), while bass players tend to pluck more, though both players can and do sometimes use both techniques.

I think this should be in the Technique forum.

are you talking about slapping, or fingerstyle even? strumming is like what internal affair said, hitting a series of strings in a fluid motion (strum).

Moved to Technique...
