Much mahalo! I am so happy that you have finally got it!. I was truly hoping that people would pinpoint that twisting motion in other tutorials!!!! Wait til it comes second nature! Has it become second nature as of yet? :)
@@JJMilare it actually has! I was starting to think I could never learn it when I was going through all sorts of tutorials, but now I don't even think about it and do it naturally, thanks a lot again ^^
@@miim.9267 Wow that is so awesome to hear! Especially when you say you don't even think about it! When techniques become second nature is such an accomplishment! Great job! Much mahalo for learning and watching the tutorial too!
Ive been playing uke for a couple years now but always struggled to combine the chuck with a down strum. I tried to learn it on several occasions but kept getting frustrated and stopping. It was the twisting motion I was missing!! I finally got it!!! Thank you
Aww really?! Much much mahalo for letting me know that! It makes me feel joy when people are able to learn it! How long did it take you to get it down?
@@JJMilare I learned to chuck within minutes after watching the video :) Your teaching style is simple, concise.and straightforward. Perfect for beginners like me.
Yours is the fourth chucking video I've watched. I guess the fourth time is the charm. I finally got it with your instruction. Thank you so much!!!! And I enjoy your humor. :)
Wow yay!!!!! That really does make me so happy that I am able to teach in a way that people can learn easily! Much much mahalo for those kind words. I'm glad you like my humor too..haha..I don't think myself as much of a funny guy sometimes .ha.
The observable and objective way you articulate what your hand (and what part of your hand) is doing (how it is rocking) with descriptions of where the hand moves in relation to the body (the hand rocks down and away from the body), in conjunction with the camera angle capturing the motion you describe... this is nothing I have come across before. The way you articulate the motion, how it feels... your descriptions give my brain a path to follow, a line and sensation to trace. Thank you for sharing your perspective, it is a gift.
Wow much mahalo for taking the time to write this! I didn’t realize what I was doing but the was you described it makes sense to me! And that’s the same way I was hoping it would make sense to others! Thank you so much!
Yay! Mahalo and you’re welcome! Please feel free to share this with whoever struggling to chuck too! I appreciate your kind words and makes me feel good that you are able to learn through this video!
I can't explain how grateful I am for this tutorial!!! I've been wanting to learn how to chuck because I thought it would sound good together when playing the song "I'm yours". I watched and learned from other tutorials but I still couldn't do it. But after I watched this video, I found out that it was only the twisting trick that I needed, hahaha. I never knew it was THAT easy. You teach so well in a really simple step by step and fun manner! As the title said, it is very effective!! I already know how to chuck in less than 5 minutes! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️ Count me in as your sub!! And may God bless you 🙏
Your chucking is the 4th video I have watched and it is BY FAR THE BEST! Thank you for your breakdown of exactly where to place thumb etc. so good! Thanks!
@@JJMilare you're so welcome. What set your video apart was how you had the video capture the side on angle. So I could actually see the connection between your thumb/ palm and the ukulele. The strum and twist was clearly shown so I could replicate with ease! Brilliant work mate!
Ah yes. That was something someone told me...that the hand should be seen at another angle :). I will remember that tip for other videos too so hopefully that helps others too!
I've been playing for a couple weeks and when I learned to chuck, I noticed it came more naturally for me the way you showed...with my lateral thumb, basically.
Yeah!!!! That’s what I’m talking about! Congrats! And mahalo for watching the video! It means a lot to me when this video allows you to check and becomes that much more valuable!!!!! Lmk if there’s other questions in where to use the chuck too!
Much mahalo! Thank you for the kind words and yes I like to try to be thorough as much as I can. I'm glad it's helping you! And yes practice makes permanent! You got this. Let me know how I can help!

@@yvonnejackson5207 oh ok! yea just keep working on it and you'll get it! even 10 minutes a day just going through the motion, eventually there will be that "aha" moment! :)
Had to review this lesson again too! I really lack rhythm🤭I can do it for a measure maybe two and then I lose it it’s frustrating. But I can hear you JJ saying in the background go slow and gradually build up. You wanted to know how I use the chuck? I use it to chuck the ukulele back into the case when I’m frustrated🤯😭
Oh wow yes you do know that I say start slow :). Chucking it back in the case? awwwwwww Don. It's ok! It doesn't matter if you throw it back into the case. What will be the key, is when you pick it up the next day and practice and chuck. Then the next day you pick it up. Then the next, the next, the next. :) Consistency is key! I believe in you Don!
Yeah alright! You’re welcome! Those planes are actually my uncles! I tried another one of the planes the other time, a little challenging but it was fun!
Aloha Chris! I shall try look up that song. I don’t think I heard that one before but oh man if it’s Troy, then it must be a good picking song 😃. I’m not too good with picking but I’ll try look it up sometime. Bear with me tho, life has been busy and been getting so many messages so it might be a little bit 🙏
@@JJMilare: Mahalo J.J. The "Chuck" is goin 👍. Im still getting a little hung-up, but as you say, Practice makes what J.J. ......... 😊👏. Have a great Friday J.J. Mahalo!
Maybe you can try to chuck when you are doing an upstrum with you thumb. Try to follow up with the palm of your hand. Or, when you are doing a down stroke with your thumb, at the same time mute the string with your left hand/fingers and you can get a similar chuck sound that way
Much mahalo for those kind words! I'm glad you enjoy these videos! I hope to make more you will like. I'm doing alright, just trying to get back at creating. How are you?
@@JJMilare it's a pleasure my friend! I watched a lot of your videos, i started ukulele 3 weeks ago and i learn pretty fast! Thanks to you! I always know your channel's got something new for me to learn! I was sad to see you were not very active lately... I'm glad you are back! Could you do a video on a "boywithuke" song?

@@wongposanronicawongposanro3120The song I was singing at the end was "proud mary" and the song at the bloopers was a default song thay came with my computer 😀
Pötâtö 06 I would try the same motion with your thumb but stopping the strum faster. Like a faster twist to mute it with your hand. If that doesn’t work then probably try to also learn to strum with your index finger as well. I also strum with my thumb or index. I guess it just depends on how I feel that day :) and depending on the song or technique I use :)
@@JJMilare its acctually pretty hard for me but i also have been busy and havent been able to practice... i did try to learn how to strum w my index finger tho but i noticed that i kept missing some of the strings while strumming so for now im just going to be using my thumb🙂
I actually have never tried strumming with a pick before. But I knew someone who used a pick and chuck. I would think that the foundational idea is there...but I think that the difference would be the different angle you would have to play since the pick sticks out more from the finger.
Charm much mahalo! Yes I try to make tome. But recently haven’t had so much time because I am learning a new job so sorry if it’s been taking me long time to post a new video!
Ah hmmm. Maybe when u strum with your thumb, you can try to do the twisting movement so that the back of your thumb produces the chuck sound? If that doesn’t work maybe start to become comfortable with strumming with your index finger too? So that you can do some other techniques too?
HERE'S AN EASIER WAY TO CHUCK.... Most people say to mute with the thumb/palm, but there's an easier way. Make a karate chop pose with your hand and mute the strings near the bridge with edge of your pinky and palm, while strumming with your pointer finger. Basically, you're muting opposite your thumb. IN OTHER WORDS, it's a palm mute strum!
Oh yea that’s a good way too John! I like to use the way in the video because the motion will help us get used to other techniques like the fan strum or playing really fast. So the techniques will overlap each other :) 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

@@JJMilare its acctually pretty hard for me but i also have been busy and havent been able to practice... i did try to learn how to strum w my index finger tho but i noticed that i kept missing some of the strings while strumming so for now im just going to be using my thumb🙂

Mahalo for subscribing! Oh no I don’t understand Tagalog 😁. What does it mean in English?
does anyone know how to chuck when you are strumming with a pick?
I actually have never tried strumming with a pick before. But I knew someone who used a pick and chuck. I would think that the foundational idea is there...but I think that the difference would be the different angle you would have to play since the pick sticks out more from the finger.
thanks m8.
Charm you’re welcome! How’s your chucking doing now?
@@JJMilare
its doing really good :)!
i appreciate how you have the time to educate other people
Charm much mahalo! Yes I try to make tome. But recently haven’t had so much time because I am learning a new job so sorry if it’s been taking me long time to post a new video!
@@JJMilare
Oh It's alright! Focus on your new job. you don't have to worry (:
Charm mahalo! Hopefully soon will be able to post more! 😁
"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood." Whew! There you go. HAHAHA!!
Kelala ʻO koʻu inoa Hahahaha there it is!!!!
but I use my thumb to strum T-T why is chucking so hard for me :((
Ah hmmm. Maybe when u strum with your thumb, you can try to do the twisting movement so that the back of your thumb produces the chuck sound? If that doesn’t work maybe start to become comfortable with strumming with your index finger too? So that you can do some other techniques too?
@@JJMilare thank u, I'll try ur suggestions ^-^
@@hajitooru6938 you’re welcome! Let me know how it goes!
What do you use to tune your ukulele?

Kuya can u give me ukelele?
Aww I don’t have an extra one yet sorry! Someone else asked me too but I haven’t had one to give out yet. But I’ll write down your name if ever I do!
HERE'S AN EASIER WAY TO CHUCK.... Most people say to mute with the thumb/palm, but there's an easier way. Make a karate chop pose with your hand and mute the strings near the bridge with edge of your pinky and palm, while strumming with your pointer finger. Basically, you're muting opposite your thumb. IN OTHER WORDS, it's a palm mute strum!
Oh yea that’s a good way too John! I like to use the way in the video because the motion will help us get used to other techniques like the fan strum or playing really fast. So the techniques will overlap each other :) 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@JJMilare Another way to describe it is palm muting with a strum!
John Snowie palm muting with a strum! I like it! Is there a shorter term? PMWS? 😁
@@JJMilare Thank you! It's the best way to describe it. Maybe call it "Palm Mute Chuck." or PMC
John Snowie palm mute chuck PMC! That’s a good name. I was thinking PMS but that maybe wouldn’t go to well with a lot of people 🙂.
