great work
Did you seriously mention the Konami code? hahah
i love the matrix strum comment ryan haha
That strum could carve a turkey.
It’d be awesome if you could do a uke minute where you explain how to do a fan stroke…
From what I’ve seen, looking around on the web, you’re one of the best people out there at breaking things down and making them seem easy/possible.
Thanks!
Since I just got a ukulele, it was quite helpful that you indicated that it is my wrist, not my whole arm, that is supposed to work while strumming. That helped me more than I can say. It might sound like a little thing, but beginners have no clue. Thanks!
I can’t seem to get this.. Maybe its my cheap ukulele strings, but it really hurts the side of my finger and i keep skipping over strings when I’m doing it which makes it sound really bad
Try curling your finger a little more so instead of pointing at yourself you are almost creating an open parenthesis with your finger and using the top of your nail to strum.
My finger keeps getting caught up with the bottom and top strings
same problem
