The way you're describing (I think) is accomplished by quickly opening the hand after down-picking your melody note, extending the fingers and allowing all them to sharply brush across all (or most) of the strings.

2020-03-18 15:00:01 +0000 UTCHi Clifton ! thanks for posting these videos! im new to your style of playing and am really enjoying it... i have a question about how you get that really raspy sounding strum when you do overhand..is it just how you strum down with all four fingers or are you muting the strings a little with your palm? or could it be because your banjo has nylgut strings that gives it that sound ? thanks for all your help !

2020-03-18 00:00:47 +0000 UTCGlad to hear it. I find myself playing more and more two finger lately, getting back into my earlier style before I know how to overhand pick.
