    Totally enjoy your low key, zen, teaching method. I’ve been playing 2 years and have always used a soft leather pick. Your teaching of using the thumb touching the index finger between the joints was simple to learn. I am even finally catching on to the chucking strum!😉👍🏼👏🏼😀

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great to hear Rhonda! It's pretty cool how you can make a plat pick. out of your fingers, eh? I personally like to keep any and all options for different tones on my "palette" so to speak...SO many ways to play, good to stay open to the different options. Thanks for watching & playing along! 😊🎶🤙

    Stu, Love this little quickie tutorial. So up beat as the nights get darker. Deceptively easy but hard for me to keep time. I will be playing it over and over and each time getting closer to the beat and changing chords on time. The perfect level and speed for someone who does not get it easily but i can immediately have fun and listen to you singing in tune. More please!

    • @UkuleleZen

    My daughter and I have been trying to leran the uke for some time and this is the first I have found as a useful excercise. One other easy song I learned on my 6 string banjo (tuned a a guitar) was "Oh Suzanna" which is more difficult on the uke. Do you have some easier chords for that. Anyway thanks.

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  4 ปีที่แล้ว
