This has to be one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on TH-cam. FIRSTLY, there are no ads in the middle of the video, making sure that I have point concentration. And, at the beggining of the video I though, "I could never play this tune," 30 mins. later I feel like a ukelele master. Thank you so much
what a coincidence!!!! i was watching some fingerstyle covers and i saw these kind of lofi percussion. so i searched more covers and i saw the sweater weather cover and i was like i want to do this so bad. i searched some tutorials but its hard to find what i was lookin for. and finally i found this video which was inspired by the video i watched. ughhhh thankyou so muchhhh
this tutorial was so easy. i seen a cover of a percussive song and was amazed and thought it would take weeks to master! with this video, i managed to learn the first and second beat by the end of it with added practice which was around an hour. thanks so much! x
I started playing uke with Cynthia Lynn on TH-cam before I found you. It warms my heart to hear you recommend a fellow artist:) I became a premium member with you because I wanted to expand playing uke. You’re a great teacher. Love the theory of the hows and whys of rhythm. I cannot believe how organized you are in the lessons. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Stay awesome.
You are a real pro. I agree with you that a strum pattern must be explained with the counting of the beat like how you explained in this video of island strum. If not, it can be played in many different ways just by looking at the written strumming pattern without the beat given.
Not only this channel is underrated, like hs been said, but it is one of the best ukulele tutorials I’ve seen so far in youtube. Calm, insisting on really making things understandable, so that we really learn not only to do things but also how and why we do them that way. Knowing something is one thing, being able to teach it it is something completely different and you excel on both. Keep it up!
Sounds amazing. Wow is this hard. I did not get this down by then end of this video. I am going to need a LOT of practice with this. Thank God it loops.
hi, glad to know u. I can tell that u r really nice person with plenty of patience. u r in deed know how to teach and explain the concept. thanks a lot for ur sharing. hope u enjoy life. thank u again.
This is great, I love how you explain and break down things. Thank you for teaching us something new. I'm learning this for few hours now, hopeful to learn this end of the weekend! Cheers! :)
This is a video which every ukulele player needs in their life if ever they are getting tired of it. Thank you for your clear explanation. Even your chuck is better than mine though 😞☺️
Thanks, Ricky! Keep working on the chuck and check out this lesson if you need extra help on it: rockclass101.com/add-a-backbeat-to-your-rhythm-playing/
Great videos, absolutely love them. Love the details by which you explain each and every thing, so that absolute beginner like me also can understand. Talking about something new and fresh we can do on Uke, Can you consider making a video on *George Formby strumming* and the chord progressions we can use with it. Also how to adjust my strumming from index(Down) and Thumb(Up) to Index for both down & up as used by George Formby.
Check out our strumming course: rockclass101.com/strumming-techniques-beyond-the-island-strum/ It's taught by Christopher Davis-Shannon who does a lot of Formby style playing :)
You could use it for any simple pop song that has a four chord progression. Just like the example song that I learned this technique from: th-cam.com/video/zU4VDSPuboc/w-d-xo.html
Glad you dig it! Check out our guide for properly holding the uke here (also video at bottom of page touches on it): rockclass101.com/proper-left-hand-ukulele-form/. And I also covered it in our beginner's course: rockclass101.com/definitive-beginners-guide-ukulele/.
I love your video tutorials💓 I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on "kids by kyle dixon Stranger things" it would mean a lot. By the way you just earned a sub👍
Andrew thanks for the tutorial, I had a question, basically I wanted to know how to judge which songs I could use this pattern. Can you suggest some songs where I could practise this and get comfortable?
Hi Priscilla, I break it down step-by-step in the video. Make sure to watch the full tutorial and play along with me. If you have any questions, please let me know :)
2 notes makes the chord blend together better and helps to differentiate the tonal coloring from when you strum up (strings 1 and 2) to when you strum down (strings 3 and 4). Give it a shot, it will get easier in time. Let me know if you need help :)
Happy to take a look to make sure you've got it down :) Please share a video on our forum: rockclass101.com/forums/forum/rock-class-101-ukulele-lessons/
Man your videos are so easy to understand, this channel is wayy underrated
Thank you, Krystal!
I saw a violinist a few years ago playing percussive violin and was amazed! I love the combination of strings and percussion.

You are a great teacher. I also really like how structured these lessons are!
Thanks great tutorial. I'm starting to get to grips with it!!
Ok but srsly I learned this in 1 day and he explained it well :-)) Plus can we just appreciate how talented he is like fr 😶

Thanks so much for teaching this at my pace 😊
I knew this would be a challenge for me but i loved it so much. Two days later and i got it. Awesome lesson! Thanks
Great job!
Sounds so good. You're such a patient teacher, thanks!

TY so much! I really appreciate the kind words :)
A quick suggestion for changing to G from Em, use a pinky finger to play Em so that you just have to remove pinky finger and add index finger for G.
Thanks for the lovely video sir. Love from india.
Been trying it for a couple of days now, and I finally have it down! Thanks!
Hard work pays off! Please share a video on our forum, I'd love to see your performance :) rockclass101.com/forums/forum/showcase-your-playing/
Thank you so much Andrew :))) Can't Believe I managed to learn this o.O
Congrats! It's a really cool technique :)
The song you may be thinking of is Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Overdriver Duo. Love this tutorial.
Thank you for the lesson! Very easy to follow and understand. Now I can show it off to people! lol
Love this. It took me all weekend but I'm getting there. Thanks!
Awesome! Join our January Challenge and make this technique your goal :) rockclass101.com/january-2018-challenge
This is soooo helpful, thank you very much ! You are a great teacher !
Sounds amazing. Wow is this hard. I did not get this down by then end of this video. I am going to need a LOT of practice with this. Thank God it loops.
Keep at it! It's one of those techniques that has a learning curve, kinda like riding a bike, but when you get it, you got it!

Congrats! Keep up the good work :)
Nice lesson.

This is brilliant. Thank you! If this video gets any dislikes, I'll find them and marmalise them
Excellent teacher !!

Wait what😲👏👏👏

What is the uku brand that you are playing please.? Sounds great!
Thanks Stephen! It's a Kanile'a K-1 Concert. You can learn more about it here: rockclass101.com/why-kanilea-is-my-favorite-hawaiian-ukulele-brand/
that chord progression is the same one that's used for Sweater Weather by the Neighborhood
Can you please add in a play along song that can be applied to this drum percussion lesson that you teach after the lesson?
You could use it for any simple pop song that has a four chord progression. Just like the example song that I learned this technique from: th-cam.com/video/zU4VDSPuboc/w-d-xo.html
Thsnks a lot !!☆☆☆
i dont have a ukulele (yet) but i love your videos :D
Join the fun! This one is only $50: amzn.to/2gBepiS And here is our review on it: rockclass101.com/makala-mk-s-ukulele-review-demo/.
i never knew i could experience this amount of pain in my thumb until this very moment
Always stop if you feel pain, but it sounds like you are hitting too hard with your thumb. Try to soften up the attack.
Hey, thank you for the video!
I got bigger problems with how to hold my ukulele while doing this. Some tips? Especially when I change the chord
Glad you dig it! Check out our guide for properly holding the uke here (also video at bottom of page touches on it): rockclass101.com/proper-left-hand-ukulele-form/. And I also covered it in our beginner's course: rockclass101.com/definitive-beginners-guide-ukulele/.

Andrew thanks for the tutorial, I had a question, basically I wanted to know how to judge which songs I could use this pattern. Can you suggest some songs where I could practise this and get comfortable?
Hi Anubhav, you can use these patterns for any simple 4 chord song that uses the island strum pattern. So literally thousands of songs lol :)
@@RockClass101 Thank you for the quick response. Will try them out
do I need special uke for dis kinda effect?
Nope! It works on any uke :)
What is the music from the beginning plzz? Ps.: thanks for this video❤️
It's a common chord progression used in countless songs. I linked the one I learned this technique from in the description box above.
How does he make that cool beat,icant do it xd
Hi Priscilla, I break it down step-by-step in the video. Make sure to watch the full tutorial and play along with me. If you have any questions, please let me know :)
what kind of ukulele? concert??
Yes, concert. It's a Kanile'a K-1.
I’m distracted of your!! Dimple in Cheek 🙈😂😂
Do we try to strum only two strings to mske it easier? Because it only makes it harder
2 notes makes the chord blend together better and helps to differentiate the tonal coloring from when you strum up (strings 1 and 2) to when you strum down (strings 3 and 4). Give it a shot, it will get easier in time. Let me know if you need help :)
