Example One: Simple G Backup Pattern
Not to make this even more interesting we can cut the "bump" in half for on or both of the strums in each measure.
When I say cutting a note in half I mean just that. Hammer-on's, pull-off's and similar techniques are nothing more than a way to break a single note apart. In this case we are breaking the first quarter note in each measure into two eighth notes. The neat thing about this pattern is that you get a cool kind of country guitar sound.
Example Two: "Country" G Backup Pattern
For a C chord you could play the same pattern, or mess with the idea and get something like:
Example Three: C Backup Pattern
There are an almost infinite number of ways you can mix in some pull-off's, hammer-on's, slides and bends into a simple backup pattern.
