Question: Are you left-handed. Is that the reason for the unique strumming style?

[@PawPawUke]

@phyllismorris94 Hello. Thank you so much for the question. No one has really asked me about the way I strum, and I have not found anyone else that strums this way as of yet. I am using my tablet on portrait mode to film the videos... this flips the image like a mirror. I need to try to do them a different way, I am not very experienced at recording myself.😆 I am, and I play, right-handed. The "unique" strumming style is just from me playing with the uke like a kid and not doing any real lessons.🤣 I actually started strumming regular, but as I was playing so much a day I ended up laying my hand down onto the soundboard and just using my fingers to strum with a flicking motion. I found this let me play a lot longer without tiring as easy. My fingers have some problems, but I also found that I can make some of those problems work for me. I hope that explains it a bit. I may try to do a video to show some of the problems I have with my fingers and the ways I have worked around that to keep playing. I have also found this allows a lot of precision when strumming, with enough practice that is. I can strum any one, two, or three strings independently of the others. I don't know how to do this in a sond or anything yet, but I'm working on it. I think there are a lot of possibilities for some unique sounds. Again, thank you for the question and watching my vid.

I posted a new video this morning. I worked extra hard to learn how to edit the video where I could flip it so it didn't have everything backwards. I hope that helps some. Again, thank you for your comment.
