New Intro, Radius Fretboards, Wrist Form, Distractive Strumming
We're back with a New Name and a New Intro! For the first episode of The Ukulele Underground Podcast, the team starts off with a couple of student Reviews. They follow up explaining where people can send their Student Reviews and Songwriting Submissions. This sends the guys into a tangent on good Graduation and Wedding Videos. Getting back on track, Aldrine answers last week's question on Radius Fretboards. A UU member asks if it's ok to use your thumb to hold or mute notes? UU brings up the importance and safety of keeping a straight wrist with both your left and right hands. The team tackles a strange problem where a member's more advanced strumming is distracting beginners. Aaron and Aldrine demonstrate how you can strum with more flourishes and techniques, but still keep the same beat and stick with the group. Aldrine caps off the podcast with his own cliffhanger question, some announcements, and reminders.
