[@YogiDanananda]

Omg whenever you said "look up" my head snapped up. Like you were in the room 🤣👏

[@robmarley7049]

Came here to say exactly this.

[@AndreaRomero-p2z]

My first day touching a ukulele and I just did the chuck and mute. Thank you from Oden, Arkansas, USA

[@juliepeterson-honerkamp8916]

You make this all seem so easy and playful, that takes a lot of the stress out and makes it so much more fun!

[@clairemorley2132]

I love your natural style, puts me at ease straight away and you get the pace just right for beginners like me. Now I can chuck! Thank you ( needs a bit of practice obviously 😜)

[@twincycle8692]

thank you for your patience Ms Bernadette.

[@DanielECulbertson]

Thanks for this video! I'm just getting back into playing my ukulele after an extended "vacation", so this really helps get me fired up and in the mood to play! Have a great day! 😊

[@eeffto]

Brazilian fellow teacher watching here 🙋🏽‍♀️! Love love love your videos, lessons and your calm vibe. You're an amazing teacher! Thanks so much, tchau!

[@stacysnyder2818]

Best “how to” I have found learning to chuck! Thank you!!

[@michellelark]

Watching from our campground overlooking the Salish sea in beautiful British Columbia 🏕🏞

[@philcard9179]

Thank you! I’m practicing. The obstacle I’m having is hitting the cuticle on my first finger when I chuck. A painful reminder to learn the right angle for that finger!

[@jiasong2751]

Chucking left, right and centre - thank you so much!!! ❤

[@LilMizRandom09]

Thank you! I couldn't stop hitting that top string and now im actually making progress

[@IThinkImGonnaUke]

Thanks for breaking the chuck down that you make it seem so easy!

[@MikeBrown-dk7or]

An excellent lesson, Bernadette. I've never been happy with my chucking. Your tip to play over the fret board rather than sound hole helped a lot. A big thank you from Slovakia.

[@lisacompton3661]

Watching from the UK. Always learn a lot from you Bernadette. This was such a clear tutorial on chucking. Thank you so much. All best.

[@janunderwood4033]

This is insanely cool and your lesson is making me very happy. ❤

[@juliasmaistrla4407]

I love your clear precise instructions..absolutely grateful. Would love more explanations of music theory.

[@karenlowe2549]

Thank you, Bernadette! We were going over this in our Intermediukes Club.

[@LMShackers]

Bernadette, thank you so much for your expert teaching. I have been sharing your videos with my primary school students and we are finding them so so helpful! You are amazing!

[@tdm2298]

Thank you! This has always been a mystery to me. You've broken it down and slowed it down so i can understand. Mahalo Nui!

[@ramonabehan4177]

Thank you so much, this was a really good lesson. I want to thank you in advance, you’re going to teach me how to chuck 😊 Thanks for what you do. Watching you from BC, Canada ❤

[@susanlance8179]

Brand new, can't stop watching you. Started a few days before I got my instrument. Started with learn to play in an hour then went to 30 day Ukulele challenge. Sometimes I am now playing with videos( I have had instrument for 2 days) some times just watching as I do housework. You are a great teacher.

[@p6ril72]

Thank you, watching from France. I started the Ukulele recently but I’ve been playing guitar for a few years. It so much fun and you’re a great teacher. So I joined the Patreon community to support the channel

[@Macrina-k8s]

[@HillaryDevenanzio-kg6et]

This was the third how to chuck video I watched and by far the BEST (for helping me learn at least 🤷🏼‍♀️)! I love Bernadette and just signed up for the Patreon 🙌🏼 Thank you!

[@KatherineParker-d7c]

I was having a difficult time with the chuck and as soon as I found your video , I was amazed that I kept up and was so relaxed making music.. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to see what you have next for me to learn... Thank you again.

[@AnitaGoodman-o2h]

This was the best for learning the chuck which I have really struggled with. Gonna keep working at this from your instructions which was great. Thank you so much.

[@tellyvelmonte2587]

[@rond227]

I’ve been watching all your videos and i love how you teach. I’m still having trouble strumming and chucking. I need to just make more time to practice. Thank you for the great lessons

[@TheDarklady28]

Practice is the key I’ve found but make sure you got correct technique she uses bc I’ve done things wrong and had to retrain

[@Cre8tiveWoman]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This helped me tremendously. LOL I was strumming with my thumb! Now, thanks to you, I can chuck! ❤

[@PhilPage227]

Brilliant! Thank you Bernadette. x

[@markheenan5312]

Many thanks for this video, I’ve been playing for three years now and I’m pretty proficient, but I’ve never cracked muting despite trying several times. Watching this I seem to have found something much more successful and reliable, so maybe I can do it…

[@SandeepSingh-vp8tr]

Thanks for the helpful Tip!

[@MissJudyB]

You are awesome, thank you 🙏

[@blablablaclaclacla9895]

i was doing a mistake due to which how much i was following you, i didnt sound like your rhythm. Then after watching your hand more many times, i realized that after the last Up stroke, i was giving a break before i hit the Down stoke for the start of next cycle

[@lv2rdhonu783]

Good lesson 👍🏻🌺💖

[@michaelgourlay7336]

That was great, and you are lovely x

[@good2grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr736]

Watching from planet eereeeeearth!

[@HoldinCoffeeReturns]

When I chunk, I do it over the soundhole and it sounds like a cough 😬. Thanks for pointing out the fretboard position.

[@karenlowe2549]

Hi Bernadette! In our uke club it recently came up that some of our members couldn’t chuck as they tended to primarily strum with their thumb….I strum with my pointer finger as I learnt that from you but any suggestions for those who strum with the fleshy part of their thumbs?

[@beckydavis6648]

I'm doing it!!!!! You're a amazing teacher thank you!!!! 🎉😊😊 (from Ireland! 🇮🇪)

[@amylitz5163]

Been binge watching your channel today and literally NEEDED a chucking video. Watched your older one. But damn, the Divine timing on this one.. thank you so much for your time, and energy!! ✨️🫶

[@gulsahg6891]

hi from Turkey

[@kennethkevisi9158]

Thank you

[@JVTRUTH]

I had a question, I am currently going through the 30 day ukulele challenge and I'm having a little trouble with my strum being consistent. Some times it's softer and sometimes harder. Do you have any tips and also what is your opinio/take on felt ukulele picks? Thanks!

[@Alekx-LaD]

Your Uku is so beautiful, where can we get it ? His not on your website and I don't find him on Internet 😢😢

[@Alekx-LaD]

Tanks for the chuck lesson btw ^^ I get it nice with practice

[@gerardbissett]

Fantastic!👏👏💯💯🎶💚🤗☘️

[@Nicole-ju3ux]

Can you do a video on muting or chuking in the guitar?

[@HappyVera99]

Nice video but I struggle to chuck on the upstroke. The downstroke was demonstrated beautifully but lost me on the upstroke. I wish the pattern letters were higher so I could see them when the video is paused.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so much for the feedback on the text placement! I’ll be more careful in future videos for sure. About the upstroke… If you look at your index fingernail, not the fleshy part next to the nail, that’s what I use to do an upstroke.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Let me know if you’d like me to do a video dedicated to the upstroke because this is a very common question

[@quickeagle7308]

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🖐👍❤🎨🖌🌍⛺🎠🎪👸

[@cindyhsu9509]

My name is Valerie and I play Ukulele with you

[@Elvis-dw7ux]

Very difficult as I'm trying on the guitar with a Pick?

[@laraineoneill7732]

Do you have this for the ukelele?

[@imnotroman3292]

I really struggle upstrumming when I use my index finger to do the down strum, but when I dowmstrum with my thumb then index it works fine, what do I need to do for that

[@thomasmcarthur4247]

Guitar background here learning ukulele. I've found it helps to slightly rotate the wrist as you're strumming so that your thumb is at more of an angle on the way up. Then rotate into the same angle going the other way with your index. Think like a small rocking with your strumming hand like a saw.

[@DinoGooch]
