Q: Why can’t I strum like how others do? I pressed on the strings hard enough, but when i start to strum, the just not good, it\’s filled with external sounds (the sound that you hit the guitar string with ur plucker)? How can i do to reduce that sound?

A: Getting clean strumming is all about having solid fret hand muting technique. When you place a chord down on the fret board, look for ways to use your hand to mute the unused strings. For example, if you are playing an open D chord, you can wrap your thumb around the neck and mute the E and A strings from ringing. If you were playing a C barre chord (3rd fret on A root), use the tip of your index finger to mute the low E string by pushing it up against it. If you are playing an octave chord (say 5th fret on the A string and 7th Fret G string) use your index finger to mute the high strings. Use your middle finger to mute the low e (just arch it over and place it on top of the string). These should give you some examples how to clean up your fingering. This is the trick to clean playing. As a side note, it helps to have a closed fist when you strum on your picking hand.
