Thank you Stu! I'd been struggling with strumming all week and becoming increasingly frustrated, until I discovered your tutorial. Love it. Well done :)
Thank you! Finally the explanation to that ''chuck'' all the ukulele players are producing. And I just couldn't figure out how! But now I know! Awesome! I just discovered your tutorials yesterday. They are simply the best and provide all the missing pieces for me. 👍
Great tutorial! Very useful to a Ukulele newcomer. Is there a follow up video? Maybe covering 4/4 vs 3/4 timing and different patterns for different songs? On TH-cam there doesn't seem to be a clear sequence of your tutorials. Superb style and encouraging manner make your lessons easier to follow than most on here.
Thank you. I'm finally getting viable upstrokes with the index finger. Still have a ways to go to getting close the sound being the same for both the down stroke and the up stroke.
This is brilliant! I've been trying to improve my strum - technique and rhythm and timing - forever! Well since I started playing with the uke a few years ago. I think if I practice these ideas regularly it might help a lot! Thank you!
Works for me Marie. We all have different physiology, though the main lesson here is to have clean eight notes (down up down up) with an accented back beat. (2 & 4) :duDuduDu love to hear how you go after trying these ideas.

Music to my eyes Belle. Glad I can help out.
Good tutorial. It's very helpful.❤
Glad to have heard the very best explanation to the technique of rhythm and timing for playing a ukulele, most appreciative. Thank you.
Wow Diana, Thanks so much Diana, Glad to have read this excellent comment.

Just started age 80, young and keen to learn enjoying your tutorial
Amazing Arthur. Keep in touch. You're an inspiration.
The chuck is more difficult than it looks. Thanks for the tutorial.
Nicely explained
- especially about the backbeat. Many strummers miss this point. Well done!
Thanks Bob. I appreciate you taking the time to say so. Happy International Ukulele Day!

Very informative video and good tips about the flick! Very good lesson for beginners like myself. Thanks!!
Yay! Glad I can help!
Yes nicely explained.
I used to think the backbeat was the same as the up-strum.
Thank you. I'm finally getting viable upstrokes with the index finger. Still have a ways to go to getting close the sound being the same for both the down stroke and the up stroke.

Very helpful Stu, thank you x
Great explanation. Thanks.
Just what I needed!
Love to hear those words Kieran. Thanks for the feedback. Please share the video. It's a big help.
this is very helpful lesson for this newbie... btw, ur uke is beautiful; it must be custom? I dont see a logo on the head stock.
yes it is a 'Matti'. I don't the guy is still making them.
This was great, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback Susan. Please do share. Happy International Ukulele Day!
I have trouble with my non strum fingers clicking on 😮the uke top.
Hmmm. Maybe change the shape of your arm and wrist to angle those fingers away from the top. Hard to know without seeing whats happening for you.
