How do you all approximate on solo mandolin the boom-chick playing of bluegrass guitar? On an open D chord, for example, playing D (3rd string) on the 1 and A (4th string) on the 3 is obvious, but what do you all do on the 2 and 4? Play just the bottom two treble courses, or all 4 courses?
And what are your favorite boom-chick strumming patterns for other chords, open or otherwise?
Any advice appreciated.
