Chord strumming for guitarists

[musikbear]

Hope this helps.

Yes that is good.
One question: You say

Strum 20 would for a triade mean (3*20) = 60 .

What exactly is that '60'
is it The delay from first note to last note in the strum counted in that '768' distance for a bar?
That dies not fit the pattern in the MIDI that you bought. Those delay are mostly arbitrary humanized, witch i also would expect they would be

Just to clarify, would the delay between notes in the strum be constant or would it depend on the interval (like higher interval = longer delay)?

@ Music Bear,

The 60 is the number of midi ticks that the full chord needs to be offset to the left of the timeline.
I used the wrong name, because delay would mean later not sooner.
So in case of a 3 note chord like C the complete chord needs to be pushed back 60 ticks, so, in a down strum the last strummed note STARTS at the beat.

Unlike in the midi file i gave you the interval must stay the same between the notes.
There is no guitar player in the world that can change the interval of a strum of a few milliseconds......

Lets assume that 960 midi ticks is the first beat on bar 2 of a song.
Then with a G7 chord the position would be

|
930 940 950 960
G B D F Pitch UP / Downward Strum 10
F D B G Pitch Down / Upward Strum -10
| First beat of bar 2

@ Regulus
If you would use a -20 Pitch UP / Downward strum then the interval between the 4 notes of a G7 chord would be 20 midi ticks. The hole G7 chord should have a negative offset of 4*20 = 80 midi ticks.

I hope it helps.

PS is there a way to get an email alert if someone makes a reply on this forum? Now i don't.

Ok, there is a lot to this. But having templates that can be dragged in of min, maj and perhaps 7. and sus, would still be easier than making the chord manually, at least i think it will.. Each new usage would lead to a new set of templates, f.i. both strumming up and down means that double so many templates would be needed, but it would still be a one-off to make there templates, instead of making every strum-chord new every time they are needed.
