Thank you. As beginning uke players, this type of tutorial is most helpful.

[@EagleUkes]

Hi Rob.... so pleased to hear you've found this useful...I plan to do others in future...have fun with your uke...👍🙂🎵🎶💕🥰

Graham Hall, the most interesting man in the world w/ his latest hit 'On and Off and On and Off and....' !

[@EagleUkes]

Come on Dave ..I must be in number two spot after your good self....👍🙂🤣😂🎶🎵💞

[@Dave_D.]

@@EagleUkes The 1st thing that came to mind was Van Halen's 'Unchained'....the 'producer' says....'Come on Dave, give me a break.' And DLR replies w/ 'Hey hey hey hey, one break....coooooming up!' LOL And I assure you, everyone thinks I'm the most boring person in the world.

[@EagleUkes]

@@Dave_D. Surely not boring Dave...we look forward to your humourous comments every week...👍🙂

A well explained strumming video. Not enough of these on youtube. Very helpful, thanks Graham

[@EagleUkes]

Thank you Anton....your comment is very much appreciated...I'm thinking of putting more strumming pattern tutorials out there and how to make them more interesting....thanks as always for your support...👍🙂🎶🎵🥰

[@lindsaylivinlife6282]

Enjoyed the instruction on adding a bit of flavor to ukulele strumming! ❤🎶 Get well wishes to you, Roz! 🥰

[@EagleUkes]

Thanks so much Lindsay...so pleased you enjoyed it...👍😊🎵🎶...and Roz is starting to feel better thanks...👍💕

[@richardfirth9611]

Thanks for this Graham. I’ve been playing a couple of years and have often wondered if my technique with nails was wrong, and you have convinced me it is! Unfortunately I will have to unlearn a few techniques, as I prefer the way you play with flesh part of the fingers. Thanks for showing me the errors of my ways

[@EagleUkes]

Hi Richard.....it's never to late to try something different....a lot of uke players use their fingernails and the sound isn't pleasant to my ear....using the flesh of the finger or thumb produces a much softer, quieter sound and makes the uke much more pleasant to listen to...but...always experiment and have fun....👍😊🎵🎶💕

[@tickhillian]

Amazing Graham.Thank you.Another great session.

[@EagleUkes]

So pleased to hear you enjoyed It John and hope you find it helpful....👍🙂🎶🎵🥰

[@jorgequito9562]

Thank you so much, this video is priceless , many great tips . I am sorry to hear about Rozz …. I had it 3 times and I had to get better fast because I was given garlic , onion, ginger turmeric water ; be careful giving her lemon and honey tea, if I was given that I would stay in bed for ever because of the great taste .

[@EagleUkes]

Hi Jorge...so pleased that my video has helped you....👍😊🎶🎵💕....Roz is feeling much better now thank you...👍😊🥰

[@hazelcarter2132]

I'm off to try this - thanks 😊

[@EagleUkes]

Hi Hazel...I'm so pleased to hear you're going to give it a try.....it becomes very natural after a lot of practice and will forever enhance the sound of this simple strum pattern...have fun and take things slowly and all will be well....👍🙂🥰💕🎵🎶💞

[@lesleyr.4173]

Thank you! So glad to have found you. I have been playing ukulele for 3 months. And strumming the same way throughout the song does get boring. I look forward to learning better strumming technique.

[@EagleUkes]

Thank you Lesley for watching and for your lovely comment...have fun is the main thing and never be afraid to experiment and develop your own playing style.....💕👍🙂🎶🎵❤️

[@martinwebb3394]

Thanks for this Graham - I struggle with more advanced strumming patterns but DUDUDUDU doesn't add much but this does. I might dig out my low G string as well

[@EagleUkes]

Thanks Martin for watching...I hope to gradually add more simple strumming patterns and break them down to make them more interesting....thing is to develop your own style and most of all have fun....my adage is...if it sounds right it us right... 👍🙂🎶🎵🥰

Nice tutorial. Thanks Graham.

Mahola Robert.... I've been asked for a long time to-do some strumming tutorials and never got round to it .... but I thought that whilst poor Roz is in bed with COVID I'd use the time to post something that, hopefully, folks will find helpful ...we have some prerecorded tracks ( in case of illness, holidays etc ) so we'll be still posting something on Friday....love to you both and all in Hawaii...👍🙂🎵🎶🥰💕

I dont have low g and see you use it then strum. I might get one on my other ukelele. Having troublegetting strings I like on it

[@EagleUkes]

..hi Nadine....I use my low G in my strum technique as it gives a great bass sound to the rhythm...I use Aquila 15U nylgut tenor strings which include a Low Wound G string....I've tried lots of different types over the years but love these...have fun and thanks for watching...👍🎵🎶💕💖

[@nadinesiebert]

Hi Graham. Thank you. I have Aquila super nylgut on my other ukelele. Will see if I can get what ypu have. Some strings are not always available here. I will look on line

[@F.N.N.N]
