Purpose of this SRV strumming pattern
Hi guys, I came across this great live video of Stevie Ray Vaughan. At about 7:56 he is strumming very quickly from left to right on the fretboard. Not that I can currently do this, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what he's accomplishing by going back and forth like this. It doesn't look purely performative to me, so I was just curious if anyone knew.
