Percussive Ukulele - James Hill Style Slap Ukulele Tutorial

[@amberasarose]

I've been playing at ukulele for a little over a year now. In less than ten minutes, you've shown me an awesome way to get over the plateau and put some stank into my playing. Thanks for your clear instructions and love of the instrument!

[@danebaker9449]

I can't thank you enough for making these videos you always keep it close to what it sounds like in the song unlike other youtubers who dumb it down

[@TrojanXV]

Dane Baker I definitely agree! I love seeing songs that I want to learn from 10TP because I know the end result would sound awesome

Thank so so much for the lesson. In the beginning I thought it's almost impossible to play that pattern. But here am I, at the end of the lesson, playing with you and having so much fun.

[@dansurfrider]

OMG sounds so good and excellent explanation! Can you do a video about how to add taps/knocks in the middle of a strumming pattern? Can't find anything about this on KZbin!

[@crushworthyxo]

hey this is really cool. i've just stumbled upon this video and now i've subscribed! this was a really cool technique i've never tried before but managed to sorta get by the end of the video! i'll def keep practicing it!

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thanks Tyler. That was a very good tutorial. I look forward to getting this all together for my 100 Song Project. Love the challenge.

[@TenThumbsProductions]

How is the project going?

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Very instructive, as long as keep challenging myself and listening critically to my performances to catch what could be better. I will be trying to post on the road all next week. Should be interesting as I travel from KY to AK.

[@TenThumbsProductions]

No more Mr. Nice Guy, no more Mr. Cl-e-e-an! Alice Cooper right?

[@laurenbee3809]

TenThumbs Productions the one and only!!

[@awillqauck]

hI so this is probably silly to ask, but you've done a few other country/western swing songs on the uke before so i thought i might ask! Id cry if you did a bob wills song, like stay all night or shoes keep walking back to you! or even (even though its not by him) bob wills is still the king! (I'm his great niece, and idk it would be cool to see!)

[@kknight339]

Really cool sound

[@TheLostEggroll]

i have evolved! thank you so much for the tutorial

[@cloudlooker3469]

[@lovelysmile2803]

[@monkmane2345]

Was practicing this for a few hours and only realized I developed a blood blister when it popped and made my uke look like a murder weapon 🤣

[@TenThumbsProductions]

[@Dragoonov]

[@asianekatho6373]

lol where my strings end there is a triangle and so if I do it, I will be stabbing my thumb :( maybe i will make 9 thumbs production... 10 minutes later the triangles broke off:(((((

[@thelegend54]

How does he play a note and make a percussive sound at the same time though?

[@otohangi]

What song would suit this bass /strum beat ?

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Really anything but I like Latin music for it the most

[@dhatribalz7772]

Help pls ! When I switch from C to G my ukulele fall because it's like a pressure I put with my hand on the fretboard but as I slap the body so nothing stop my ukulele from falling ahead :'D

[@samsquanch1972]

Is that a concert size ukulele?

[@mariajukejax9649]

Me likeeee! Me likeeee a LOT!!!

[@miked2441]

Does your system work for baritone as well?

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Probably even better, the bigger body will give you a wider array of sounds to experiment with.

[@gyuwon9808]

what size is yours? I think I have a bigger one and I want to be better with it.. but it is harder to hold chords

[@Анастасия-я1ц2у]

more music with beat:3

[@safir2241]

When your uke goes to the hood

[@kknight339]

Neat

[@Skilletfoot14]

[@CraftTriXer]

Am i first? wow

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Fourth! My comment that is, you nailed it first!

[@CraftTriXer]

I have a school project, and i wonder what types of chords would fit with drums and piano. I have looked into all the chords, and I need some kind of a "dark" chord. Do you know any that fits these categories, and thanks beforehand

[@ukemaniak]
