“Unable to connect to sever” 🙁
Hey Aldrine!
Thanks for all the great videos. I wondered if you always use Tenor-size ukes. Is that your favorite size?
cool, I can daily spend time practicing this while my house is quiet at night.
same problem 🙁
My finger keeps getting caught up with the bottom and top strings 🙁
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.
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!
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!
That strum could carve a turkey.
i love the matrix strum comment ryan haha
Did you seriously mention the Konami code? hahah
great work
