Ahhh! It’s all so clear now! I finally got it and it sounds great! I’m sitting here next to my boyfriend, chunking all over the place and mixing it with the “strum to fingerpicking” stuff I learned from you and he’s all, “Woah, you got a lot better, that sounds really good!” Lol, you should see the size of my smile. Thanks Aldrine, uke make me happy!

Help! I’m not getting that chunking at all! My fingers hit the strings and make the chord sound, and THEN the chunk comes. ARG!! Unless that meaty part below your thumb hits the strings FIRST, before your fingers come down, how can it make that nice CHUNK sound????
(Yeah, I am a beginner. But still!) Thanks!

Awesome lesson – you should be known for your awesomeness! I just got a Uke and have been lucky enough to find your site. I was able to pick up chunking pretty quickly – still not a master, but am on my way thanks to you!!! Awesome! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the great work, Aldrine.

So far all the chunking video I can find are all using a Tenor. Yours is a beautiful Kamaka Tenor.
I guess there is not much difference in terms of ease of chunking? I only have a Soprano for a week.

Nice lesson! Two things: First, cut the background music when demonstrating, it is very distracting. Second, show the timing information; each of the strokes shown in the iconographic strumming pattern does not have equal time. If you showed the position of each up/down/chuck relative to the beats in a bar, that would make it tremendously easier to get the pattern fast.

I enjoy watching your lessons. Your instructions are simple enough to understand and enjoyable to watch. I would definitely purchase a DVD if you had all your lessons on them.
