This is the first time I actually understood the basics of strumming patterns. This is hands down the best explanation available. Thanks to you.

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

I'm so happy to hear that you found this explanation helpful! Thank you for your feedback :)

[@jamsauce_music]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I have been playing the ukulele for roughly 8 months, and I just haven’t been able to understand alternate strumming patterns until now. You explain things so well, and I finally feel like I get it. Thank you! You are truly a blessing.

That's wonderful to hear! So glad you found this helpful 😊

[@pammartin4527]

I love your teachings, I have been playing since 2018 (just strumming 🤷‍♀️) but have always wanted to learn fingerpicking so I looked up Arpeggios and found your channel, so happy I did - it’s a game changer. I’m trying to learn Chord Melodies as well. I started out with a concert size Uke and have advanced to Tenors and Baritones because I love the deep richness in sound. Thank You for all your hard work that it takes to do a KZbin channel I am watching you daily

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

Thanks so much Pam, I'm happy to hear that you're finding the lessons helpful! Great that you're enjoying playing tenors and baritones, they do sound beautiful. Have fun getting into fingerpicking and chord melodies 😊

Is it possible to strum along without not knowing any notes, say if people are playing and I have a Ukulele and just want to strum along, no music sheets etc. Or like just try to learn 2 or 3 cords only. I'm in a yachting crowd, they all play very well, but I really don't want to learn everything, but just be there when asked. I tried to learn before, but failed miserably. Thanks.

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

I saw your follow up note...glad you found my 2 chord songs video. Have fun with it!

[@mohamedmahdy9653]

Nice 💕

I wish you were my neighbor. I’d love to make a pot of tea and play music on our porch.

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

Aww, that sounds lovely! 😊

[@albertling639]

What size of ukulele you use in this video ?

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

I'm playing a tenor with low G tuning

[@pancakeyummy4070]

What is the best ukelele for begginers like me... i am 5'4 in height ... thank you in advance

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

Thanks for the question! Choosing a uke has more to do with what feels and sounds good to you, and what fits within your price range. I'd suggest watching some of the KZbin videos out there on different size ukes and how to choose one. My best recommendation is to go to a music shop and try out a bunch, from sopranos to tenors and see which you like best. I've really enjoyed playing Kala brand ukes. This was my starter uke and it's a great instrument! amzn.to/2NaxvCi

Help I can't understand anything 😭

[@2011hib]

I am so bad at this.

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

You're not alone...many beginners struggle with strumming and rhythm. You'll see improvement over time with regular practice. Try to be patient with it and I encourage you to keep going 👍😊

[@gareeall]

@@LaraMarkowitzMusic But for a beginner would you say strumming is the best way to start?

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

@@gareeall Strumming is the most common way to start, however, some players are most interested in fingerpicking rather than strumming/singing songs. I started with both when I was a beginner. I don't think there's a "best" way. I encourage you to focus on what most interests you and whatever you practice is what you will become good at 😊

[@gareeall]

@@LaraMarkowitzMusic Do you offer any private lessons over Zoom? If so, how much for 30 minutes or 45 minutes? Any availability Friday the 10th or Saturday the 11th?

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

@@gareeall Thanks so much for the inquiry but I'm not offering private lessons at this time.
