- I get questions all the time about multiple finger strumming for the Ukulele. One of the things that sets the Ukulele apart from other stringed instruments is the unique strum variations. Here's a quick lesson on strumming technique to get you started!

You look like a more relaxed and chill Dwayne Johnson. (Love the tutorial)
Learning to play the Ukulele is FAR easier than it was learning to play the Bass. I like the way you explain how. Easy to follow, easier to retain knowledge. Thank you for making learning fun and easy.
Oh, I'd disagree 😉😉
You make it look so easy...I can pick really good but have such a hard time strumming. It doesn't sound like a song at all.
This video is super helpful I've been curious about different strumming for ages
Hey man I like the way you teach! It’s very easy to follow along with you. You communicate it well.
I've only been playing since xmas. Your tutorial here makes me realise that I have a long way to go, but none of it is out of reach! Thank you!
Somewhat helpful? Dude... It was one of the most informative strumming videos on youtube I came across and believe me, I've been seaaaarching. Thank you!
You are SUCH a good teacher! So fun, now I have to go find a ukulele! Mahalo!
The harmonics coming from your nails almost make it sound like you're playing a harp or something. Sounds beautiful! Great explanations of the techniques too. Thanks!
glad I found this again. this video was extremely influential for me on guitar too, I got it quick too, excellent teacher
Great video, all techniques well explained. I foolishly assumed my strumming technique for the guitar would translate over to the ukulele perfectly but always wondered why it didn’t quite sound right. Thanks!
Thank you . Starting to learn different strumming pattern
Thank you for sharing your talent in both playing and teaching!!!! I love your attention to detail in the strum and technique. It shows the love you have for music!!!!
Mahalo for the kind words Victor!
Great tutorial! Easy to understand and very helpful!
Best ukelele teacher ever!!!
Helpful techniques, thank you!
I love this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for doing this!
Awesome! I am a violinist but we have a ukelele at home and I had a go at it... after all it's also 4 strings :) And I like it a lot. Any other violin/fiddle players trying the ukelele?
I watched this vid 3 years ago. I didn’t get it. Two weeks ago, it popped up on my feed and I watched it again… and OH MY! I got it Brah! Your video has opened up my ukuleles tone! I almost sound like I know what I’m doing! Mahalo! 🤙🌴
Ok so I'm just gonna come back to this video in about three days, after I get this two-finger strum pattern down, and watch the rest of it then.
You’re really good! Thank you.

Chank you for thich exchellent lechon, great chtrums. I gave you a chumb up.
Thank you, very informative! I’m a newbie on the uke, having trouble with my G and G7 chords. I can’t get them without taking a lot of time placing my fingers, so there’s a lag on anything I play. Any advice? Mahalo!
Pinky first is most common and "proper" for fan strum
I love Hawaii songs
Hey,can you make a video about your right hand nails? I used all my natural nail... It's hurting me. As long as I'm a girl I never put acrylic nails... Can you give advice about the right shape? The best material? (I heard about acrylic)
You are great teacher. Thanks for that vid!
thankyou アーロンありがとう
Mahalo for your support!
Hello! Can you do a tutorial of the Taimane fast strum famous video starting " Phantôme of Opera??? I don't find any ukulele player able to do it....
Mahalo.🤙
Shimbuker ukulele
How would I substitute if my right hand ring finger and pinky tendons are cut. I use three and it sounds amazing but I can tell with all five is the way
hI MR.AARON!!!
Hey. Thanks man! I just wanted to ask how do u hold the thing? Like while standing? I struggle holding it up while playing...
Shounak Roychowdhury Aloha! I play a Tenor and I hold it with my forearm. If I need to play more fancy picking stuff, I use a strap!
HawaiiMusicSchool Aloha! Thanks so much man. I'll get a strap. Keep up the good work!
Shaunak Roychowdhury you should buy a trap and attatch it to your uke
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🤙🏽
Your finger nail on your thing looks like it's about time fall of
This was awesome though
Classic guitar style, nails are grown and shaped to act like todays picks.
@@icejunki Is the fungus extra?
@@jjkhawaiian fungus? Priceless!
Hello! in which notes is it in tune? it sounds more acute than mine
Aloha Aldi! The tuning is GCEA
How do you strum fast? And why is my nail getting stuck?
What is the name of the guy, who you said has made the two fingers strum into an art?
Toni Lynette Cristy his name is Kimo Hussey. He's a great player! Legendary, in fact!
HawaiiMusicSchool He's amazing thanks for responding so quickly
Aloha! This is a lot so I apologize in advance.
I have a question about the two-finger strum or double strum. I can do the technique and I'm happy with my results so far but every video I watch says to use the index finger as the main finger for strumming. I find it more comfortable to use my middle finger instead. Do I need to break this habit or is that okay?
I also strum down with my middle finger, down with my thumb, and then back up with my thumb.
So it's all wrong haha but it sounds okay.
Love the videos by the way.
You can do whatever that you are comfortable with but for me i used to go down with my thumb and up with my index, it's okay but when you need to do faster strumming or certain strumming patterns that require a little more speed it's hard to do it with two fingers but if you can mange that then bravo and keep playing.
hi man, what ukulele r u playing in the video
Aloha Yan! It's a Ko'olau CS with a Redwood top and Cuban Mahogany sides and back. I love it and it goes pretty much everywhere with me!
Iv been playing guitar for a little move 10 years and I just ordered a sapele ukulele the bird and flower design do u know if it is a suitable uke to learn on as far as holding tune and sounding decent at least didn't want to spend a lot of money. And not being able to transition between the 2
worst Aloha! I'm not familiar with a Sapele Ukulele with a bird and flower, but I've seen two that look identical. Zebra and Irin. Looks like decent quality, but I couldn't give a fair assessment without playing one. Although both ukuleles were sopranos... I, as a guitar player myself, prefer the Tenor size... Just feels more substantial I guess. Good thing is it'll make you a better guitarist if you learn the overlap!
We're going to clamp a melodica to ukelele so MelodicaLeLe - Can we string our Ukelele with fishing line and eat raw fish we need a yacht and like a sabiki rig some yellowtail?
My nails are so short....it hurts.
If it's hurting on your strumming hand, try using the back of your nail to strum down, and the flesh of your finger to strum up. Make sure not to use the side of your finger, as that can be painful.
Do you use your nails to strum?
Jae Anne I try to use everything to strum! Lol
The last strum tehnique is spanish rasgueado, is funny
I wish I could grow my nails! My nails like paper!
I know this is random but I was playing outside and now there's a big ass ant stuck in the sound box and I don't know how to remove it-
not able to get the strum
Oh wait got it , thanks! love it
Shtrum
