[@UkuleleZen]

So glad An!

[@berniewray1622]

What is the the strumming pattern for the notes, have got the mute part. ? ThNking you

[@UkuleleZen]

Check the video again… I show this in the tutorial, but there are other tutorials for the boogie-woogie strum at my channel and in a rockabilly for uke course at www.stufuchs.com/store

[@shirleywhitelaw4295]

Stu, while trying this I went down with the middle/ring fingers, then ‘accidentally’ up with thumb and down with m/r again. It just felt natural. My thumb always follows, so I’ve had real trouble getting the triplet strum. Is this OK?

[@UkuleleZen]

Sure thing - I’m always in favor of folks personalizing any lesson…I sure do that 😉 Thanks for watching and playing along! 🎶🤙

[@pedrosanchezpalma4443]

What ukulele is that?

[@diannepeterson6656]

Does the repeat go back to the beginning? I am kind of getting the sound of mute strum you do by pumping the note with my left hand.

[@UkuleleZen]

Yes -- repeat at the end. Very good too -- using some left hand mute is a great idea. I do both, but I didn;t want the lesson to be too complex by adding anotehr technical element to it...thanks for hanging with this one.

[@1965nterp]

Is that ukulele tuned to a "Low G"?

[@GuitarJams-zs7yf]

Do you have any patriotic American songs from like the years 1776 to 1900?

[@user-xd7bq3wz9e]

Hi there, I love your tutorials & really appreciate them but……….. I was actually learning from another persons tutorial ( half way through video) when yours suddenly highjacked it & took over? Why is this happening please? Are you aware of this? Or is this KZbin’s rude intervention of another persons video? It’s seems to be happening every time I play it! Very frustrating as I’m trying to learn regularly from Jake Shimabukurus video :(
