Music therapist, do you know how to do a rake on guitar? 🧐

The rake is a really subtle guitar technique that adds distinction and definition to your chords. I’ll often times do a rake on beat 2 when doing the “music therapy strum” and it makes that beat feel heavier because “something is different” about that strum in comparison to the other strums 👏🏼

Raking is also used a lot in epic guitar solos because the strings are muted before landing on the target note, making a thick, percussive sound 🙌🏼

So grab your guitar, and let’s play! 🎸
