→Bass/Strum

''Notice that the bass notes are carried over to the next beat.'' They can even be strummed again if desired. Even though I explicitly marked the notes to carry over, it is implied in a bass/strum pattern. But that doesn't mean you have to. It's a pretty subtle thing - try it all three ways: carry the bass note to the next beat but don't strum, strum the bass note in addition to the other notes, and mute the bass note when strumming the other notes.
