Ukulele Strumming CHEAT CODES

[@SternDrive]

I'm brand new here, and I find your methods very clear, and easy to understand. Some of us know nothing at all about music, and thanks for not making any assumptions about what we know or don't know. I like your hair style here. It's away better than that man bun, which I hate as much as that B7 cord which I am battling right now.

[@lesyim1793]

Thank you Kevin for being such a patient a great teacher. You make the concepts and theories very easy to follow and play along. I have been in education for over 40+ years and you are a really great teacher to learn from. Thank you.

[@karidehnavi4737]

More please, you are a great teacher 😊

[@Michael-oi5vx]

This has been the most helpful strumming video

[@lawrencepamelareed6653]

Enjoy your lessons! I appreciate you saying the cords to the songs, I am blind so I cannot say to me the music so I have to memorize!

[@lyndashannon6591]

More needed on how exactly to mute mid strumming pattern and then get right back to the pattern with sound.

[@KarenPachecoNorthohana]

Kevin, you’re a great teacher! Your pace, encouragement and clarity all weave together to make the total package! Mahalo!

[@kenbellingham4345]

This was a very good lesson presenting core techniques presented in a logical sequence with definitive examples clearly described. Thank you, I'll be back for more.

Thanks Kevin 😊

[@AnnaAnna-ch5ww]

Thank you ! Always great videos

[@elizabethpollock9580]

missed live show but do need the muting strumming more. I also appreciate the hand position tricks. Signed up for membership😁

[@gollymolly9555]

always great tips, I have been working more on dynamics, love the chucking technique! There is always so much more to learn. I guess its the journey that is exciting. Also I practice more with metronome. It's been freezing here in Tennessee, I'm counting the days till spring. I've had to do some hand stretches, my fretting hand was getting a little painful especially when I practice bar chords, they are so hard, I must be bending my wrist the wrong way. Thanks for all your lessons, couldn't have progressed this far without them.

[@lishavi6607]

Just a question Kevin: I would like to know when it is appropriate to strum all the strings or just the upper or lower strings. Thanks

[@lindasmith6668]

Great suggestions to consider Teacher Kevin. Thanks so much.

[@AllForUke]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sharondull2103]

If you teach the cords to Kiss an Angel Good morning, on a Baritone Ukulele. Try to work on that one.

I'm just starting to research which Ukulele to get and start playing. I've never played an instrument before and watching a lot of youtube videos to try to educate myself a little before buying. After watching this video, which is the first one of yours that I've watched, I noticed (and I'm not sure I'm asking this correctly) that your tones from your Ukulele are carrying out longer than I've heard from other youtube videos. It doesn't appear that you are hooked up to an amp, so I'm wondering how you're getting your tones to resonate much longer than I've heard from other Ukuleles. Is it your Ukulele, your Ukulele and the type of strings your using, an amp, the mic your using, or software??? The sound is amazing!!

[@AllForUke]

Thanks for tuning in. I am using a Kala Elite Series tenor that has very nice tone and projection. The craftsmanship is very high level and the instrument really resonates nicely. We use a Rode mic on set which captures it nicely, but is by no means a top tier recording microphone for audio. The player and the technique also plays factor. Thanks for tuning in and hope you'll join me on your ukulele journey. All the best - Kevin | allforuke.com

[@MONK-7]

Thank you I just 👍and subbed 😁

[@michaelkenney2857]

Great video; thanks for what you do. I'll check out your website and follow your videos on KZbin.

[@jillhumphrys8073]

I've never been able to use my index finger. I use my middle finger. It's more natural for me. So I use back of the nail on the downstroke and finger tip in the up stroke.

[@barbararyan2092]

Thanks! These are really helpful tips. Regarding tip #1 (arm positioning) I was wondering - how far away should the uke neck/left hand be held away from the body?

[@AllForUke]

Hi Barbara - I like to keep my left elbow a few inches away from my body. It will move further away if I’m playing on the lower frets 1-4 and closer as I travel towards the ukulele body.

[@barbararyan2092]

@@AllForUke Thanks!

[@pamconboy4315]

Is it okay to use only your thumb for both up and down strum?

[@chrispoppen5593]

I've never put much thought into this. I find if I use my thumb, I touch the flesh. When using my index finger I hit the nail. Thank you for these tips. I'm trying new things, breaking old habits. You are a good teacher.

[@AnthonyGarcia-kr9vu]

How do start with your index finger hooked (nail facing strings) and strum with the fingertip?? My nail automatically hits the strings in this position.. I can use my fingertip; but I have to extend my finger. 😩 Please help

[@shambhwishikha4977]

Feels like my finger got stuck in string? How to resolve it

[@giannagarda7598]

Tip 6 is Kevin's: Smile - you're playing the uke!!!

How to mute

[@martindrake8707]

Thanks for the video. Do not waste your time - P R O M O S M .

[@JohnSalmon]

Strum using the pad of your index finger? What? I get almost zero volume.
