Did you get it yet?
Angry3erbian oooo
Yes at approaching 63 yrs just got my first "Ukulele", no more motorbikes. So far just the sound of a wailing banshee crossed with a strangled cat. I have been checking out a lot of tutorials and enjoying, this seems the best so far for strumming tuition, many thanks.
+Roger Scott LMAO!!! Thank you so much...I picked up my very first ukulele today...and pretty much sound like you've just described! Good to know I'm not the only one ;)
Roger Scott 1:42 me at any chance to point the finger at my friend XD
Tuning helps....
We tune because we care.
Hahaha you're hilarious
Set him to 1.25 speed and he sounds normal
thank you so much
actually 2.0 speed still sound fine
Oh good lord, thank you so much!
😂😂😂
lol true, the strumming sounds better there too, at least I put him back to normal and i thought I accidentally set it to slomo 0.5
I had NO IDEA that strumming could be so complicated...thank you so very much for sharing your gift with others...I always thought I had a good sense of rhythm until I tried strumming...wow what an eye opener.... I am really enjoying your tutorials they are great...and you are a great instructor....
You are a great teacher. I don’t know why I’m only finding you now. Keep up the great work.
👍🏼
Well you are shit
@@ashwinanil1748 look at urself
No he isn’t.... one music school you are... cause you talk about time and notations which is the right way to learn... this can be a recipe for disaster 🙂
I agree with this comment!! I loved his teaching as well!!!!
A great teacher. Calm, easy style whilst being encouraging.
I’ve watched so many videos already and this is the only one that’s made me feel like I can actually do this and I actually know the strumming patterns a little now! He’s very good at teaching !
Awesome, Sarah! You definitely can do this! Keep up the good practice.
Great place to start for someone who has never played guitar or ukelele before. You're a great speaker that made me feel like anyone can learn to play.
"Alright, so that's the down, down, down, down strumming pattern." Adorable.
this video would of been perfect if there was a close up on the finger as it is strumming. like detailed instructions on how the finger tips placements and or strength on the strings
needed
I need this so bad because my nails are making this harder for me
I had to cut my nails on my fretting hand (the one on the neck) because I've found it easier to press down on the strings with the tip of my finger (underneath the nail but above the pad of the finger), and my nails prevented me from doing that when they were long
I second the request for close-up on the finger as it strums. It's not clear whether you're strumming with the thumb or the fingers and/or whether it changes with down stroke to up stroke.
your a natural teacher. Thank you
Chris Speak Amazing video! It's essential to all especially the advice about is beginners guide to playing the ukulele.
The help things i also found for how to play the eddie vedder ukulele songs
was Panlarko Amazing Uke Planner - search google if you want.
Hi Jim, as robbedace mentioned, there a variety of ways to strum the ukulele. To start, I recommend strumming down with the nail-side of your index finger and up with the flesh side of your index finger. Alternatively, you might strum down with the nail-side of your middle and ring fingers and up with the flesh side of your index finger.
Ok
Great job! I've been playing guitar for fifty years and recently started playing the ukulele. I never really thought about the technical aspect of strumming, it just seemed to come naturally. This has made it very hard for me to explain or teach other people how I'm doing it. Your calm and measured approach is one I'm going to try to emulate. Thanks.
I'm 77 years old and learning the ukulele. This young man has helped me.
I literally just started learning today. I now have a few chords down. Thank you for this video. I definitely strum better with a pick. It feels so relaxing practicing the Ukulele
My self-esteem at parties 1:33
i... 😭😭
Liv A. HAHA
Yup
i-
I've just started playing the uke as part of my bachelor of ed degree and I'm really loving it. Your videos are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
This is a fantastic video, so helpful! You are a great instructor, thank you so much. I was having trouble with my strumming, but this is really clear and concise.
Thank you so much for working at a beginner's pace. So far, most of the beginner ukulele videos available on TH-cam were truly going too fast. You are an excellent instructor!
so I thought I was going to post an original comment, talking about how soothing his voice is and how incredibly attractive he is, until I scrolled down to realize that's what everyone is talking about. awesome.
Classy
@@zucchini_flowers boogie
What a nice and relaxed approach, thanks. I really felt that I learnt and didn't feel rushed.
I bought my Ukulele 2 weeks ago and i've been practicing ever since, i had some problems with the strumming until i watched this video! you were (and still are) very helpful, it really helps me with the progression on the ukulele and i'm glad i found you video haha, thank you man!
This is an amazing lesson to learn different strumming patterns for beginners. I am still working on fifth pattern, almost there but need to practice more.
Thanks,
Mohan Joshi Houston Texas.
Love your video! You are so sweet and such a calm, encouraging teacher. I'm practicing the 5 patterns daily and definitely see and hear improvement.
I just got my ukulele on monday, Honestly no other youtuber was able to help me better understand. Thank you so much!
Such a calming voice. I paused the video for 5 minutes or so to practice the last strumming pattern and it worked well!
Perfect lesson, you are such a good teacher....calm and no hype. It really was easy following your lesson...
I've searched for the right teacher and you are HE!
Brilliant. Very well explained. I like your patient and calm way of taking as well.
These strumming patterns are very simple and fun! Thanks!
Really, really good. The combination of the words on screen at the beginning, splitting it into chapters, saying down ups as well as the 1&2's etc encompassed everyone's learning styles - I picked it up no problem and I'm about as rhythmic as a walrus on a dance-floor.
Trying to learn so that I can teach my 5yr old Grand daughter..You have a nice clear easy way of teaching. Thank you ,x
You are an excellent teacher.
Bret, you are adorable. Just bought my first ukelele yesterday. I am 60 y.o. It's a fun little thing.
Yay, I am making so much progress with these videos.
I learned more from him in 5 minutes than all my You Tube videos combined. what a great teacher!!
Thank you, you are so reassuring. I've been playing about a year and strumming is my downfall! Chords: no problem. Strumming..meh! I will practice! Thank you again! You ARE the Bob Ross of ukulele teachers, and that is a real compliment!!
I love this video! Super helpful! Thanks!
at last someone who can explain and build up the patterns!! i've been trying to understand this for months! thank you, good teacher!
Awesome lesson for a beginner. Thanks.
Love the video. Perfectly easy for beginners. Clear and precise without rushing. Thanks for the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
You are an excellent tutor! Keep it up young man🥰
Thank you so much!
i love the way you show the way to strummimg ukulele ..easy to remember no too fast and not too slow
Best strumming video I could find! Thanks so much!
i cant seem to get past the last one. his calmness is almost unsettling yet also very annoying when your already frustrated
You are a very week women.
@@ohwell2790 Your grammar is weaker.
@@Dasha-tz5et Spelling, actually. His grammar is fine.
@@zucchini_flowers Oh shoot yeah you're right. My bad!
Very helpful! But ... when do you use which style? How do you know which to use?
Thanks Brett, for taking the time to make the video.
This was really helpful. You're so calm and you explain everything really well.
Thank you! You are obviously a born teacher. That was incredibly clear and easy to understand. Very appreciative. :-)
You my good sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.
This was SOOO helpful, you haven’t idea!! The ukulele is so beautiful and I love to just close my eyes and strum
love how you are so patient!!!
SUBSCRIBED!
why does he remind me of bo burnham
+c biscuit omg i thought the exact same thing
OMG yesss!! 😂
Why does this person who looks just like this other person remind me of this person?

as you can tell by my profile i clearly worship bo
Dude! Before coming across this video I was struggling to get these strums down, but idk, something about the way you kept your voice calm and leveled made me feel calm and much more confident. Thanks so so much for this.
I bought ukulele 2 weeks back and trying to learn online. Was struggling with strumming...This is so helpful. Thank you so much!
your voice is soooooooooo calming! great vid! :-D your very clear and esy to understand!
You are the cutest creature. The video is a little slow for folks with ADHD, but so well laid out and patient for beginners who might be feeling lost or frustrated without it. Thanks so much for posting this! What a huge help! (I was practicing with you, in the air, because my Uke hasn't arrived yet)
Did ur uke arrive yet
This has helped me so much!!! I struggled with the last strumming pattern for so long and no other videos have helped me! Thank you!
I just ordered my kala tye dye ukadelic and it will arrive by today evening. I’m so excited 🤩
you have a god voice. so soothing ;-;
My ukulele comes in tomorrow :)
Jayfeather- nice!!
Jayfeather how's it going? :)
You are a very effective, chill teacher. Thank you for sharing your skills the way you do.
Thanks for showing this with so much patience. This is the best first ukulele lesson on the whole net.
I always end up strumming one string too hard or missing out on one. And my ring finger is starting to hurt. I know I don't have to press hard, to get a C, but I have to hold the ukulele up somehow and it's almost impossible to do that just by the thumb.
exactly! I'm facing the same problem. I think I'm just going to have to figure out a strap to hold the uke up.
same😞
I'm only learning the uke but I'm pretty good at guitar and if stuff starts to hurt, keep going, It must be pretty bad for me , playing with my blisters and raw skin but it's made me a better player so far
HippY | CS:GO Bhop cool
why am i even watching this, i don't have a ukulele
Alei Margallo HAHAHA. me too 😂
me too
Because he's cute..? lol
Just started, cracking tutorial,will keep on watching.THANKS.
My 5, almost 6 year old grandson was able to follow and strum along with you on these..awesome!! Thanks!
youre like the bob ross of ukuleles
Cry-Baby 価値のない 😂 tru
im having trouble strumming up, i always end up plucking just 1 or maybe 2 strings. any tips?
is it hard to play a ukelele??
It's just practice. I'm still having trouble. Sometimes I'm ok other times my fingers catch on the strings. I think the main thing is to keep your wrist relaxed.
Fairly simple but you need to practice.
RainbowPudding try loosening up
Practice and find the way of strumming that suits you best. For me using my whole hand makes me do that but just using my thumb or pointer is a lot easier and effective.
Thank you so much for this. I wasn't expecting to have problems with strumming but I've been really stumped by anything but the basic first one. This has been a huge help. You're a great teacher!
that is a beautiful use omg. those shiny seashelly outlines.
He was so handsome that I forgot to play the ukulele. xD
Hey! You look just like Charlie from Lost!
Thank you for going at a speed I could handle! Yes this is slow, but I'm new and needed it so slow! I'll practise more if I can do it. By the 5th pattern, my thumb had a mind of it's own, but I love it.
oh my gosh thank you so much ! i was struggling for some stupid reason with the down down up up down up pattern and thanks to you I've totally mastered it !! cheers x
Thanks i
M gonna be a ukulele master in no time...
They tried to make me go to rehab, but i said no,no,no

It's so weird that I don't understand the last one but somehow my hand is doing it anyway haha
thank you; this is great! I'll look for more of you!
you're so patient. thank you!
Is the ukelele easier to play if I knew how to play the guitar?
Yeah, it's pretty similar. Once you learn the fairly simple chord shapes it'll feel like playing a toy guitar.
mechanical movements are useful, but the logic behind the ukulele works in a completely different way

watch an example
Just because we all need to learn how to strum doesn't mean you need to talk like we're 5 years old and barely understand English hahah
I actually appreciate that he does that. Sorry, but some of us actually have no idea how to play instruments to save our lives. It's nice to see someone who doesn't talk fast, so people like me, who get frustrated easily, can actually play along too, and learn something.
We'll you look nice in your picture if that accounts for anything.
Alexis Reynolds Well you look nice in your picture if that means anything.
We just have to be grateful that someone is teaching us how to play
New to the uke. Taking private lessons in September, but want to get some lessons/playing time in beforehand. Your video tutorials are the best I found. Your teaching style is patient and informative. Great job. It helped me out a lot.
many thanks for all your videos and tips and encouragement!!
How do you get the strumming to sound like that? Supposedly I have the tune right, but it sounds off somewhat.
me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check this out ==> ukulelecenter.info/cioc
Same here, but mine sounds a lot off. Even though I have it tuned right...
are you strumming where he is, like a bit upwards on the ukulele?
Damon Bell could it be the sound coming from a computer sounds a tad different or I am out to lunch on that theory??
I can't strum. How shall my fingers be when strumming? UgH
Ida Beyerholm i just use a pick
Do not use a pick! First, you can scratch up your uke with a pick. But also, it's just a crutch. You have to learn how to strum without it at some point. It's better to start from the beginning than to have to learn how later on. Strumming is hard. Just keep practicing and trying different things to find what works for you.
Ida Beyerholm I kinda use all of my fingers (if that makes sense). Maybe it's easier for me because I play the guitar. 😅
Hey Brekker! Yeah it may be. I'll just keep practising. C: Maybe I should take some lessons
Queen Rexy actually, you can use a pick. As long as it's a felt one (they make picks specifically for ukulele's) :)
Awesome...Thanks for breaking it down for me!
i was strugging with strumming...video so helpful!
i think you're so handsome :D
I know, but thanks anyway.
O_O Holy shit-snacks he's gorgeous.
I Lol'ed at your comment!
Me, a lesbian: Yeah, he is.
Thanks so much, i just got mine today and every other youtuber i've seen makes it so darn complicated while i just wanted something simple to start with, this was perfect!
Thank you. Watched this several times. It’s so helpful
So I may or may not have clicked this video cause of the attractive guy.
Me, too. Hahaha!
You guys are weird. I clicked it cause I need someone to teach me to play the ukulele
Why does it matter?
:)
Heather Laney How is weird for somebody to notice somebody attractive... I mean I did click this to learn how to play my new ukulele, but it doesn't hurt that the guy just happen to be also good looking.
I cant keep the 4 count I don't know why! I get too hyper and start counting fast and every where like I cannot chill. Can someone link me to a video that plays 4 ticks over and over or something because I need it implanted into my head.
Listen to songs and count "1,2,3,4" with the beats in the songs with all the songs you listen to! This might help you stay on beat
+Oshi Webb I thought I was doing an okay job of it, but my friend who is a professional musician was just shaking his head at me. Apparently I speed up as I go, too. :-( Anyway, he had me put a metronome app on my phone, and it's really helped me.
Look up onlinemetronome
I have just begun and this was really helpful to me. Simple instructions that are easy to follow. Got to go strum, strum, strum.
