Today we’re going to look at one of my favorite strums! The island strum adds color to some songs and it is a great tool to have at your disposal. I like to use this particular strum on specific songs that have an island feel or Latin beat. For instance, I use it on the song I Can See Clearly Now by Jimmy Cliff. Let’s break down this strum step by step.
