Learn to Strum the Ukulele the Hawaiian way

[@shinigami_0127]

You look like a more relaxed and chill Dwayne Johnson. (Love the tutorial)

[@daemonwhitebeard6590]

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.

[@TGBassTutor]

Oh, I'd disagree 😉😉

[@mikenco]

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!

[@eclipse_eternal8178]

This video is super helpful I've been curious about different strumming for ages

[@ms.christian7792]

You are SUCH a good teacher! So fun, now I have to go find a ukulele! Mahalo!

[@misstrawberryjam]

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!

[@peppers776]

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! 🤙🌴

[@davidzamora9973]

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!

[@armouredrabbit]

I wasn't happen with the tone I'd get on my ukulele using a plectrum, this video helped a ton! Happy to be a new sub!

[@kjensen900]

Best ukelele teacher ever!!!

[@kamiel79]

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?

[@snowmountainlion]

Hey man I like the way you teach! It’s very easy to follow along with you. You communicate it well.

[@victorhsiao8020]

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!!!!

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

Mahalo for the kind words Victor!

[@MicheleHewettMarkle]

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.

[@MairyHuffinMan]

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!

[@patrickbfreeman]

You are Awesome Thanks so much !!

[@annlee5894]

Thank you . Starting to learn different strumming pattern

[@goforlaunch1958]

Great tutorial! Easy to understand and very helpful!

[@bulbizarre2726]

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!

[@Robinl1278]

Thank you so much for doing this!

[@raceface_m2579]

Awesome! I’ve never seen other videos do the 3 finger strum. And I like how you covered the strums in an upstroke motion as an alternative too.

[@jacobmarleyghostguitar1906]

glad I found this again. this video was extremely influential for me on guitar too, I got it quick too, excellent teacher

[@jd1head591]

awesome man , should be getting my uke tomorrow , can't wait, I have always just kind of toyed with the guitar , but have developed something that causes my hand to draw up alot. hopefully, the uke will be an easier play. Manolo!

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

Congratulations on getting a new ukulele!!!

[@rondr3017]

Geez, u make strumming looks easy... Thank you braddahman!!

[@fionatang2251]

Thanks. Clear and easy to understand and learn

[@craZivn]

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.

[@sarapesola7531]

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!

[@ML-sf9hd]

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....

[@twinkle04evr]

Helpful techniques, thank you!

[@smallz1025]

What is the name of the guy, who you said has made the two fingers strum into an art?

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

Toni Lynette Cristy his name is Kimo Hussey. He's a great player! Legendary, in fact!

[@smallz1025]

[@Kwood10]

Great video 🤘🏼

[@alditorres5776]

Hello! in which notes is it in tune? it sounds more acute than mine

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

Aloha Aldi! The tuning is GCEA

[@domitillegerard7405]

Thank you very much !

[@Vetomon_V]

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.

[@conditionedby]

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.

[@shaunakroychowdhury3089]

Hey. Thanks man! I just wanted to ask how do u hold the thing? Like while standing? I struggle holding it up while playing...

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

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!

[@shaunakroychowdhury3089]

HawaiiMusicSchool Aloha! Thanks so much man. I'll get a strap. Keep up the good work!

[@Zara_Beth]

Shaunak Roychowdhury you should buy a trap and attatch it to your uke

[@lesleypikaahu5482]

[@petecassidy2580]

[@jjkhawaiian]

@@icejunki Is the fungus extra?

[@icejunki]

@@jjkhawaiian fungus? Priceless!

[@jamespatton3500]

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

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

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!

[@b.breaux8786]

thanks a lot :)

[@ukuleleuniverse]

Mahalo.🤙

[@robertkelley198]

As a stater, my fingers and brain are struggling to put it all together 🤣. But I am gonna practice.

[@hunterxiaoyan1986]

hi man, what ukulele r u playing in the video

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

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!

[@tomoko1975]

thankyou アーロンありがとう

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

Mahalo for your support!

[@taigahgalore1044]

My nails are so short....it hurts.

[@HawaiiMusicSchool]

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.

[@danieldickler898]

Aaron, Mahaaaaaloo!

[@amairasagar5613]

not able to get the strum

[@amairasagar5613]

Oh wait got it , thanks! love it
