Interesting! Captain, I'm curious as to what your right hand is doing with that.

I accompany Henry Martin with a fairly simple rhythmic pattern; a sort of 3/4 "Burl Ives basic" (bass-fingers-fingers) more or less alternating with an upward arpeggio, but being judicious about which bass notes I play so the bass notes form a sparse countermelody. Sometimes just three bass notes instead of "bass-fingers-fingers."

The right hand picking or strumming pattern one uses can have a definite effect on how many chord changes one can use and where the changes come.
