very cool link. I bet at that early date they DID "strum too much".... but boy did they ever learn quickly how to match the strumming with the picking and the accents and everything else. Lets not forget that the other English groups in Hamburg at the time were not happy at all to hear that the Beatles .... "that bum band"... was coming over fearing they'd ruin it for everyone.
