--The Senate would be represented equally by states, which is unfair to states with larger populations. --A tiny executive branch would choose the entire Supreme Court, whereas under the Virginia Plan a larger legislature will elect members to the executive branch.
A hand-held pick or plectrum can only be used to pluck one string at a time, but multiple strings can be strummed by one. Plucking multiple strings simultaneously requires a fingerstyle or fingerpick technique. A strumming pattern or strum is a preset pattern used by a rhythm guitar. Compare with pattern picking, strumming patterns may be indicated through notation, tablature, up and down arrows, or slashes.
Most songs are counted in four (4/4 time signature). This means you count one, two, three, four to the rhythm or strumming of the song. In a song counted in four, each group of four beats is considered one measure. The strumming pattern in the figure above is played over the span of one measure. If this talk about counting and measures is confusing, be sure to watch my video lesson Ukulele Strumming Patterns for Beginners. As a rule of thumb, the majority of chords in a song change on the first beat of a measure.
