[@rooster4011]

The tips: Loose, natural, free How I was playing before this video: Stressed, Robotic, Locked Thank you, Aldrine, from an aspiring uke player 8 years in the future.:)

[@glchristo1]

Wonderful! You are the first person that has explained you need a loose and relaxed finger to strum. I have been struggling with this until now. Thank you!!!

[@MzSoulll]

ditto!

[@spanishjo4282]

You are always my beloved ukulele genius teacher!Hope to jam and sing with you one day in Singapore! Spanish Jo

[@mvecellio1]

Great tips. Not too many players realize the different finger positions make a difference.

[@kauaijasmine]

Right on! Your video was fast paced an more informative than many others I have checked out! Mahalo Nui Loa!!

[@MzSoulll]

Thank you for providing such a valuable tip (loose finger) Ive been practicing for weeks and i saw almost no improvement in my strumming. I'm sure that is why.

[@leomcshizzlepjocastdeserve1631]

[@yilliams7538]

[@meryltodd6389]

I sound exactly like your robotic sound. Thank you for the tips. Off to practice now!

[@SAPCmafi]

Keep practicing and you'll get it. Trust me. It sounds a lot better without a pick.

[@mariajukejax9649]

Use clear nail varnish. It might toughen the nails up a bit

[@MicTheChick22]

Thank you!!!

[@Burps___]

@parpfan That's the Aldrine G. signature uke from Kanilea, which can be yours for $3000 (not his, your own.) You tube search it, nice videos from NAMM 2012 of Aldrine playing it for the manufacturer.

[@MalvikaBadri]

When I strum downward, I glide all of my fingers through the strings starting from the pinky to the index. Is this fine to do? It sounds pretty fine though.

[@mariajukejax9649]

I've seen people do that so I guess so. Especially if it sounds ok.

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

Sounds like the roll

[@anewtattoobynancy1]

Awesome channel.Thanx! :D

[@Pinoyako11705]

@SproutConfidence He uses D'Addario Pro Arte strings.

[@dianna21aj]

What if I bite on my nails and don't have the white nail part?? Help!!

[@jord99n]

Dianna Robles I have the same issue , I just use what nub I've got and it still works just fine and doesn't hurt. What kind of strings do you have?

[@michllons]

I love how he always ends with Aloha! :D }:) Devil face :)

[@carmenjeeves5087]

How do you gain speed. Im so slow. My fingers clash with each other when I try to go fast.

[@yadira2154]

I'm a beginner and looking for buying one

[@fantasticbeing]

For a beginner I would recommend buying the smallest of the ukulele's, the soprano. It is the cheapest ukulele you can buy. If you know you want to learn the ukulele and enjoy playing it, then you could by one of the bigger and more expensive ones. This is my personal opinion.

[@yadira2154]

MadAsAHatter thank you :)

[@fantasticbeing]

Np! :)

[@SimplePlay]

I often still keep getting stuck at the first string strumming upwards, dont know what to do

[@xXPaganxMaidenXx]

Is it okay to use a pick on my uke if i'm having trouble strumming with my fingers?

[@TheUkulelePanda31]

@CaioLugon Fairy snuff. Just be careful not to damage your nails or strings.

[@mayascarborough4078]

What if you only strum with your thumb?

[@Yeahv]

since when did you guys start uploading videos again??

[@BigredApril1951]

What Uke Minutes Video number is this??? I am missing #'s 147 and 151

[@lotus9696]

my index finger hurts when i try to strum with it, and i cant rotate my wrists good.. D:

[@parpfan]

what's that uke you use in the vid?

[@yadira2154]

What size is your ukulele

[@orangegreenn]

lifeofyadira If you're still wondering, it's a Tenor

[@Dylb0]

BUT WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE LONG FINGERNAILS

[@kirsten8456]

Help! My fingers always get stuck in the strings, its annoying, can anyone give advice?

[@user-kq9fd8qg6y]

Strawberry Jelly Try different hand formations when you strum! Maybe using different finger(s) will help

[@CaioLugon]

@TheUkulelePanda31 can't cut them, they're way too useful for picking

[@Kugluck]

Need top view of mechanic...

[@karyllesayson4051]

My Finger always hang with one string I HATE ITT :(((

[@charlottel5478]

Is it ok, if I feel more comfortable strumming with my thumb?

[@HUScriptYourFut]

Yea! There is lots of ways to strum. Just do what feels comfortable. Some people use their index, some use their thumb, some use two fingers and some use all of them!

[@cutegal354]

FIRST!

[@CaioLugon]

What if i have long nails

[@yuhyeet9084]

The problem is when I strum upwards wtf don’t get me wrong lmao

[@xbecxxx]

I strum with all your fingers is that not correct? My online tutor said it doesn’t matter and you can strum with all fingers?

Thanks!!
