    [...] The strumming pattern is also pretty simple. Strum up, down, up four times for each chord. After the second up strum, stop the strings ringing by bringing your picking hand down on the strings - or do what Aldrine describes as a ‘chunck’. [...]

    very nice instruction, easy to follow, precise delivery as well. I’ve come across your youtube posts occasionally, and I have to say you have really surprised me with your instruction and your positive attitude. thanks for your hard work.

    Hello Aldrine:

    Your videos are excellent. Even though they are relatively advanced I am able to work thru certain parts and there’s a lot of great stuff. Dampening using the pinky was a cool technique. The video, sound quality and instruction is great. I am a member of the Berkeley Ukulele Club in California. I will let everyone know about your site. Jeff West

    Hey Aldrine,

    I just visited Hawaii last week and purchased a ukulele. I love it!!! I am primarily a guitar player but I am having tons of fun with this thing. I found this lesson extremely informative, but I am noticing that every time I view it there is another advertisement over the video. I tried to sign up for the lessons but everything was written in Hawaiin …or Asian, I don’t know. Any advice on how I can view more lessons.

    Thanks,

    jay

    VERY NICE VIDEO!!!!
    however i was still left with some questions…what do u use Am, Bm and E for?
    You do the strum with Em, G, D, and A, then do the picking twice…(at the end of each picking u do a strum you dont explain) then how do you tranist back into the song…sorry i have alot of questions still

    I am new to the uke and I love it, but I get really depressed cause I feel like I can’t do alot of things I see others doing easily, especially those who play guitar. Uke is my first instrument. Do you have any advice on how I can train my ear?

    Also, is there another way to do a pinky mute? I have much difficulty with it and timing when I try to do it.
