Ukulele Warm-Ups to do EVERY DAY! (Strumming and Fingerpicking)
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 30. 01. 2020
- Hello! Today we doing some warm-ups! Many of you have told me that you don't know what to do for daily practice, so I decided to make a practice video you can revisit daily. The lesson starts at 0:34 and the daily practice begins at 5:56. In this warm-up video we are doing the following:
12 Bar blues chord progression
A7 A7 A7 A7
D7 D7 A7 A7
E7 D7 A7 E7
We are using this chord progression to practice two fingerpicking patterns
4-3-2-1
4-3-21-3
We will also be doing the island strum, add a chuck, and practice muting
All in all, the purpose of this warm-up is to get you picking, strumming, and to improve your playing. The more you do this, the more you will grow in your practice.

What were the modifications?
Mariulele just started learning , I am still struggling with strumming the correct way đ
@@deepudaswani3894 It's ok, It takes time, you aren't just born with uke skills you have to practice. Keep working hard :)
you prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
More of these!!! This is just what I'm needing, as a NOVICE, past beginner, but not intermediate at all. 1. A warm-up routine where I can see progress over time; 2. practice with strums, chucks, 2 finger-picking, and some novice chords. Really, there is a big missing space for NOVICE ukulele tutorials on youtube... Thank you...
Kitkat singing along is the cutest thing haha :)
Huh?
Nani!?! đ
KitKat singing those Kitty Blues.... I love it!! I love that your ukulele is blue and you're doing a bluesy progression!
Iâve been struggling with practice because I had no clue how to warm up. Thank you so much for this! đâ€ïž

ive been playing uke tiredlessy for two months now looking for random songs chords online, i still have much to learn but i felt a bit confident in my novice skills, thought i always felt like something was missing. which was absolutely this kind of practice. From now on i will my practice watching this video before playing anything!
Just tried this for the first time, and what a great resource! I will definitely try this as part of my regular practice. :)
GREAT PRACTICE LESSON AND YOU LOOK AMAZING IN YOUR BLACK SPARKLY DRESS .

This is wonderful! Thank you! These warm-up exercises should be super helpful for strumming and picking, and blues is one of my favorite kinds of music. So it's like a double win.

David Bliss hi David ! đđŒ
Thank you so much for the sweet compliment! When I was editing this video I thought about giving up and not uploading it at all. Iâm super happy to see everyoneâs response to this video
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic This is one of the best tutorials I've seen in a while. So many for beginner and intermediate, so few for novice.

Thank you for this! Iâm at a sort of âin-betweenân stage where Iâve got the basic chords and strums but need to make the jump to more difficult techniques. This is definitely helping :)
Love the cat đș
I just started with my ukelele, thank you so much for this practice everyday video,please keep doing them.Love your cat.A Venezuelan living in Montevideo, Uruguay
Hi Carolina! Iâm so sorry to hear about what is happening in Venezuela. I hope youâre safe â€ïž one of my best friends is Venezuelan too and currently lives in Peru.
Carolina Brown another Venezuelan expat learning how to play ukulele for want of cuatro players around...
Love love love this. Not just for a warm up, but to play like that! Do some songs that use those chords and rhythms. Please please please.
Christine Cousineau ohhh Christine! Thatâs a great idea!! The mute strum will work super well for Madonnaâs Like A Virgin!
You are a very good teacher. My girls adores you. I got them a ukelele just like yours and now they are not bored lol. Thank you.
Thank you.I am a begginer who plays ukuleleâșïžâ€
You are really good, I think I may be able to actually do this.
Thanks God bless you..â€ïž
I am a beginner..đ

Muy buen vĂdeo Bernadette!! Genial para ponerse las pilas. Gracias!! đ
Hola Fernando! Muchas gracias đ
A ponerse las pilas!!
Bernadette is my new instructor. Awesomeness! I watch her and practice daily
I should be practicing this but it is very enjoyable to watch. So I'm just here staring at my screen and replaying this video again and again.
I love you tutorial video easiar to understand because its so tough fo me to learn
My favorite is the strum and mute :D Last night I did the whole thing but then kept going back to the strum/mute because it's so much fun (sounds so different than normal ukulele sounds)
I got my first musical instrument and i couldn't find any good video to learn, either they were to fast or they were putting the patters directly onto the songs...and i found thisđfinger pattern,chord pattern, everything... thank uđ
LOVE THIS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I just got a Baritone for my Bday! I didn't know where to start but these daily warm-ups and practices help a lot. Also, KitKat seems to like soul music lol
Thanks for all the great content Bernadette! I've played guitar for years, but recently got my first Uku. Your videos helped in many ways!
Frank hi Frank! Welcome to the uku world! Itâll be an easier transition for you as a guitar player because youâve learned so many of the skills youâll need for uku playing.
Uku is much more portable, though!!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic This all started with a plastic toy Uku we bought for a child, that actually stays in tune. I could not put it down lol! I've got my own now, I'm in deep!
Canât wait to try these exercises Bernadette! Will let you know my progress after 10 days. Thank you! Xoxo
Elizabeth Marlow please update me after 10 days, Elizabeth!! Iâm super curious đđđ
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Hi Bernadette, It's now been over a month since I added the blues progression to my daily practice. Wow! what a difference in my playing, especially with chord changes with more complicated strumming patterns. I recently completed your 30-day Uke Challenge (I started it on June 9, 2019) and am I now playing independently, working on barre chords and have learned 3 songs: Imagine, Have you ever seen the rain, and Stand by me. When I started playing in June 2019, I never thought I would be able to play as well as I am at this point. I still have a long way to go but I love playing and learning. It's one of the highlights of my day, everyday! Thank you Bernadette! I couldn't have done it without you!
The way I make my shapes really messes with the muting. I need to keep doing this for sure!
I'm seeing legitimate progress in my playing thanks to you! Thank you so much for this. I can't wait to play for the kids in the hospital.
A great reason to learn the uke.
This is my first viewing here....love it. Such a progressive help....and so many points iv never been introduced to before, i mean, who'd have thought of warming up just to play an instrument? Yes....i'm a true beginner. Thank you.
Great!!!!đđđđđđđđđđ
Ukulele Momster thank you so much!!! đđđđđđđđđ
Just what I needed!!! You read my mind hahhah đ€â
Yaaaaaas!!! đđŒđđŒđđŒ
