    The rumba strum happens to be one of the most useful, fun, and great-sounding strums you can do on any song in 4/4 time. Songs that have a Latin flair to them will work nicely with it, but you can also use it on songs that are usually played in totally different styles. As ukers, we are no strangers to making things up for fun and mashing styles and lyrics together in new ways to make ourselves and our friends smile, so let’s get started!
    There are hundreds of ways to play the rumba strum, with any number of techniques, accents, and patterns, from traditional styles to jazz-fusion. This lesson is going to focus on a basic and common way to play it that can easily be added to or modified as you gain more knowledge. This is in no way a lesser “starter version” of the rhythm, though. It’s easy to pick up-as long as you are patient in the beginning-and will serve you well.

    i tried to mix the flamenco rumba strum with fingerpicking on hotel caifornia, now it sounds like hotel jamaica.

    I've always appreciated fingerpicking much more than those strummer boys out there, but NOW I am converted. It's late now, but tomorrow this will be the first thing I'll have to try. I wasn't interested at all when I clicked on the video, but you made me want to learn this! Thank you!

    it looks so easy when you do it 😅 only when I tried I realised how hard it is to get the rhytm :D but I love it and I feel I can get it with practise I hope :) everything seems hard before you start practising. But I have to say, you're so good, it's mesmerising to watch how you play

    Sir,
    Thanks for beautiful lession.. i will try to be used to with this pattern..
    My question is, what if we dont use thumb and middle finger and stright use just index finger since i m used to with index only so far.. just asking..
    And I have a special request if you can teach us how to play Gratitude on ukelele played by Mr. Amir tofani on guitar.. would be great help since noone showed you how to play that on Ukelele.. plenty of videos on guitar only..
    Thanks in Advance..

    man, you always do 3 times, and only when you count "on camera for us" you do two times. Or at the beginning two, but then always 3 times. I watched it 10 times to understand. But overall, thank you very much. But it's confusing, because you learn to hit with your thumb after the second time, although you yourself seem to do it after the third.
