Why Strumming Patterns Truly Matter (It's All about Texture)

Today we're talking about texture! One of the joys of ukulele is the incredible amount of different sounds we can pull out of the instrument simply by utilizing different parts of our right hand. let's start to think of strumming more like bowing on a violin than playing with a pick on guitar.

Great illustration! I was a violin 🎻 player as well, so this is very helpful!

Hi Chris, Its nice to finally see how you make those '' Hawaii fan sounds'' with all your fingers that you do quite often on your play along videos. I'm just worried that your videos are far too advanced for me. i come from a rock background and brought all my self taught bad techniques and habits from guitar to the ukulele. I'm interested in learning 20's jazz and swing. Do you have any suggestions where to start?

Thanks! :D

I understand the strokes, but I couldn’t understand how you suggested they be played. Maybe you should invent symbols for thumb, index roll, triple roll or triple with index. Your sheet just shows D U. Not helpful in trying to learn the point of your lesson. I couldn’t hear or understand all your verbal information over strumming. Just a suggestion.

Such a clear, clean demo of these strumming styles and techniques. Thanks!
