      Thanks Sarah. I've had an internet minor personality presence since 1995 with my Edgar Allan Poe fan site so I know how to take the criticism and off-the-wall comments. The Snape stuff started in the early 1990s Harry Potter days BUT that was my hair style before Harry Potter so I just accepted it. I'm ok with it all. JW Rowling just usurped the classical pianist Franz Liszt's look. I did classical piano as well so I am living with it among the waves.

    Dear Peter Forrest,
    Thank you so much for the finger 8 trick. I have practiced this for months now and I have gotten to the point where I can play it twice as fast as you taught it. Thank you for this trick. It has been hilarious to see the reactions of people who say they've played for years and I pick up my uke, play this, and tell them I've only played for 6 months.

      I'm looking into the prospect of jamming with others (not all just ukulele players) in the Latin American style. My dad was from South America, and both my parents played that style a lot as we were growing up.

  • @defaultcity
    @defaultcity 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Petey, I have an essential question, and I hope you can help me with that. You start your “figure 8” with an upstroke, which turns upside down everything I’ve known about strumming, alternate picking, cross-picking, etc. Before you answer, I would like to venture a guess: is it because a uke is NOT a guitar, and, seeing that you hold it differently and you’ve got the high G, normal strumming rules do not apply?

    • @PeteyHoudini
      @PeteyHoudini  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Privyet! When I first saw the Roy Smeck example of the figure 8, I couldn't tell which way to start from. It just felt better doing first an up-stroke with the index finger. Mainly, because if you do a downstroke, you hit the nail on the edge of the fret board and the metal frets and that shreds where the base of your index fingernail meets the skin. The pad of index starting upwards causes no pain issues. Not related to guitar at all. hehe
