So awesome. Thanks for sharing. I love watching you and your amazing Tutorials. You are so patient and calm. I find you so therapeutic to watch at the same time while I am learning. So much peace about you honestly.. Appreciate you. Blessings!

anyone else mesmerized by the strings vibration when he strums. watch them its pretty amazing

[@UkuleleZen]

I KNOW! That's some optical effect caused by...the camera lens? Makes me go Whoooooaaaahhh. ;-) Be well, Stu

[@tonycarey9731]

@@UkuleleZen I think it's because this was filmed in the open air. Have look at this vid and watch the stings vibrate: ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5zcio2ur9-IfNk

You give us your all, thanks, you're very clear with instructions. Great to hear strumming can be so interesting when tempo is used in all music I've been following a few years, can't wait to get a ukele in April 2024 I have to practice and be patient 40 years ago I played guitar. So thanks

[@SteveMartinUSA]

I like that you added a nice chord progression to this exercise to keep us interested. That's the extra mile. I also find it interesting how some people use their thumb on the downstrum and some on the up. I'm practicing both variations. Thanks so much!

Hum.. someone didn't see the video of jake Shimabukuro explaining his triple strum.. you should look at it, it's way better than going down with the thumb, that is so complicated (because when your nail comes up, you don't miss the strings!)

Outstanding intro to the blues. I have checked out numerous blues videos which sound great but - nothing in terms of a solid learning experience. Perhaps it is your mediations but you send out a message of "possibility" instead of the implicit: "you can't do it" like many teachers. I love that old song too. Thanks for reminding me of it.

[@brjplummer9415]

Loved it. Tried it and I am off out now to buy a new set of fingers, worn the others out trying.

[@UkuleleZen]

Try making the strum in the air - just playing imaginary strong… This will put you in touch with what it’s like to have a very light touch. Next, try it on the strings but brush them very lightly. It takes a while and some repetition to cultivate a light touch on the instrument… Keep your fingers the original ones are the best 😉🎶 Be well, Stu

Superb stu Ive seen an earlier clip showing you strum down with the 3rd and 4 th finger together to do a triple and after trying this method it seems easier with only the finger and thumb Thanks Dave from Scotland

Thanks Dave…glad you find this way easier to apply. There are so many different fingerings for a triplet strum - the other one you mentioned it comes from South American guitar and flamenco guitar traditions… But works great on the uke too 😊 play on, Stu

[@purpleheartscott8553]

Stu, I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot. You are a fantastic player and equally great teacher. I believe that music has the ability to bridge a lot of differences of opinion between people. I’m a proponent of peace but also a realist, having spent a career in the military. Unfortunately, I found myself at war more than a little and like it or not, there are folks hellbent on hurting others. In any case, it’s a nasty necessity and will always be. But music can make ya forget the bad stuff. Love ya man.

[@yvonnedoherty7666]

You have made this easy but I can only do it like a funeral march- can’t get speed. I enjoy your teaching thanks Yvonne

[@UkuleleZen]

The slower you go, the quicker you’ll get there. It’s counterintuitive but in my experience, very true 😉 I like to think of slow motion practice as “glacial tempo”... moving slowly as a glacier! When you can make the motions with a soft hand try to pick up the pace - after some time you’ll be amazed at how you can keep the hand soft and still execute the same motion! 👍

[@jyutzler]

The hardest thing about this was the fingering for the D chord to prepare for the upcoming diminished chord.

[@UkuleleZen]

Yes Jeff…takes a whole to get these new coordinations into our fretting hand 🙌🤙🎶😊

[@jyutzler]

@@UkuleleZen I'm going to keep practicing it, but I'm not convinced I can reliably cover the third string with my index finger. I see how it is faster than the traditional fingering of the D chord and you don't get that slight pull-off sound as your middle fingers switch places. I'm just getting a lot of 02X2 instead of 0222.

Hi Stu I learned this from a Shimabukuro video a while ago, and he is teaching down with index on strings (follow with thumb) and then back up with thumb and index on strings, works great for me. But would you say one is better than the other in certain situations? I can't change now :)

[@avec2ailes941]

Very good idea! I'll try that right away!🤝

[@emilysixx8181]

The worst part about learning a new strum is that I forget about my fretting hand and I hold on to the same chord for like 5 minutes until I realize i should probably change chords lol but within an hour I pretty much got it down :) very great lesson.

[@UkuleleZen]

I hear you. Hold an easier chord, or just muffle the strings for practice...always gives the hand a nice break to do that!

I've been strumming down with the index all the time and it is hard with the index. I keep hitting the strings in painful ways or they get caught up in my nails... Do you strum down with the index with the back of the finger as if you are sending something away or with the side?

[@blacklatem666]

Good afternoon teacher! I have a question about the triplets. What I do is this. I strum down with index, follow down with my thumb but don't hit the strings and than i come up with my thumb and index both strumming the strings resulting in what also sounds like a triplet. Is this a less beneficail way to play them? Or is it more pattern based/song depending?

[@UkuleleZen]

Hey there...thanks for watching - great channel name! Are you saying that you are leaving one of the triplets out? 1 (blank) 3 ? This would be another really cool rhythm to try out. If you meant to say that your thumb is missing the strings, try adjusting your hand placement so it will strike the strings when the thumb moves downward. Having a thumbnail helps. Whatever you do DON'T force anything. No emergencies here of course, but you want it to feel easy, yes? SO, practice making the motion while you make it in a soft & gentle way...this is "learning" easy :) this concept & other practices will be a part of my upcoming book "UKULELE ZEN" (the beginners method) - watch for it here! Finally, please note that there are other ways to play a triplet. What I'm showing here is a really good one however because it fits in so closely to good ol' down & up strumming. You dig? Ah, I knew you would. Over & out OmniStarchild...wishing you happy playing & be well, Stu

[@Dontbustthecrust]

[@jimmygrinter5633]

Trying to follow the easy triplet strums tutorial and it says there is a free tutorial songsheet available at www.stufuchs.com/store, but I've looked on there and cannot find this free sheet. Unless i am missing something, it would be a great idea to have a tab saying something like Free Songsheet, so that when we try and follow your lessons , we will have the songsheet as well. Of course, the free songsheet might be there, but I just cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers and keep up the excellent work Stu.

hi stu, are you using the side of your thumb on the downstroke? rog.

[@UkuleleZen]

Hey Roger - I tend to use the soft flesh side of my thumb. It gives mellow tone. For a brighter sound I'll use my thumbnail - which I keep a little longer. Sometimes...the back of the thumbnail for an upstroke! Try out the difference in tone slowly at first...it's a cool effect to be able to control the tone. Thanks for watching & hope you'll subscribe to Ukulele Zen :) Be well, Stu

[@rog271]

thanks stu!-------nice to have a quick reply, and yes, i do subscribe to your channel. regards, roger.

[@whisperwindx]

Is it wrong to use thumb on last triplet upstroke? index down, thumb down, thumb up

[@UkuleleZen]

No way is it wrong...do it the way you feel comfortable. PLUS - there's another one you can try that uses that same motion: Thumb UP, fingers OUT (down), Thumb DOWN...end with Thumb UP. Dig iT!
