I have just scoured YT for tutorials on chunking and in the 10 years since you made this video, nothing has bettered it. No fancy graphics needed - your musicianship, communication and technical understanding outclass every other attempt to teach the chunk. Thank you for sharing and namaste for your amazing approach to the nitty gritty of making music.

Thank u Stu! Everything about this lesson is extremely helpful. Showing the strum pattern in various forms of tabulation was great. I especially appreciate your reminders to keep the hands and wrist soft and relaxed. You are an awesome teacher! And best of all, now I know how to play Folsom Prison Blues! XXOO

Stuart, I enjoyed my lesson with you so very much. You are such an excellent teacher because you make each move so clear as well as truly fun to learn. I fly to Europe tomorrow but I will be back often to learn more from my favorite as well as my first teacher. I'd say you have a lively following who love the ukulele more because they have found you. Way to go! Thank You!-----------Annie

OOh Thank you so much Stuart. There got to be about a million Chunking lessons out there on youtube and you have been the only one taking it reaaaally slow and patient to teach. This is very important when it comes to get messages through... not everybody understands english as well for starters and also we all have out own rythms. Thanks again!

Hi Jen, thanks for both your comments - I'm really glad that you got something positive out of my videos.,,,yay! Mission accomplished! Sounds like you're doing great work for the world. Teaching to students (and adults) with special needs is not easy at all & I bow to your efforts to make the world a better place. I used to do do similar work when I lived in Buffalo NY. It's difficult to keep ones center & still serve when there is so much being asked of us. Perhaps someday you'll bring a uke with you to work? Those four strings can do some magic...with your voice & talent, I'm sure you'd bring people together around a song! Be well, Stu (P.S. More videos coming soon)

Thanks for checking out my video! While strumming, keep you hand relaxed and find the most natural position for you. You may find that this will have the fingers slightly open. When you mute to get the chunk sound, the base of the thumb is used. That's the part of the thumb in the palm essentially. Good luck & thanks for saying hi!

Just found you here on KZbin and truly happy I did. Had a zoom teacher from UK for a year and each week got more frustrating than the last and I would truly practice 2 hours a day. Started getting totally messed up trying to form bar chords and and he became a d#@k to deal with. I was so unhappy with all the time and effort put in and felt like it was useless. I was playing very well but had trouble with a couple of things and he couldn't work them out with me so I gave up and put my ukulele down for 2 years. Picking it up again because I love my ukulele and really love playing. Going to view you videos from 1st to last and pray a whole bunch. Wish me luck and thank you!!!

you are one of the most clear and easy to follow , wich is so important for beginners, some very good girls and boys on youtube tutos, but too fast, and it's quite frustrating when you can't achieve, you think you will never progress, and start thinking about selling your Uke and give up... I like the way you slowly show the progression, and then make us practice on a song, first slow, then faster, and make that i can play a song in the end. and be happy with the feeling of being able of playing a song. THANKS, a Lot !! you really help. best regards from Olivier, south of France.

Hey Jay, just keep at it--you'll get it. remember that the "chunk" is a pretty deadened sound, so as long as there is not a clear note ringing from the first string, you're probably doing it a-ok :) Slow it down to a slow-mo tempo & soften up the hands--you'll find that you can reach the 1st string when your hand is softened & it naturally extends. Peace, Stu

I wish others who teach learn from you how to teach correctly instead of saying "You can strum using the Chunk Hawaiian style" especially if you are learning or intermediate uke player. I do appreciated your time on demonstrating the technique correctly. Mahalo Nui Loa!

It depends what you are playing. However for most things you want a little space between the hand & the neck. The thumb touches the back & is relaxed, the fingers curl to the strings. I'll make a vid on that someday...it makes playing WAY easier at times. The key is to soften the thumb :) Peace.
@UkuleleZen
@UkuleleZen 11 жыл бұрын
Not necessarily. It would be a good idea to explore using your pointer finger to strum & chunk however...usually a good idea to try as many ways to strum as possible. Now, if thumb strumming is more comfortable for you, you can use the "chunk" by strumming as usual and begin the chunk AFTER an thumb UPSTROKE. Good luck & happy Ukeing!

THIS WAS GREAT! I've been looking up videos on chunking for a long time now and I've had a few friends try to teach me themselves, but none of it helped... Until I found this video! This helped so much, thank you!

Oh my god but it's true that this chunck is terribly effective! Why do not I watch this video before !!!!! Thanks Super Stu! One day maybe I would have seen every videos of Ukulele Zen, but watching this video I'm happy to see that I still have so much to discover!😊

There’s many ways to do it, but once you get the hang of “chucking” the strings, you’ll always have a drummer inside your strums 😉 All the best, Stu
