Ive been playing uke for a couple years now but always struggled to combine the chuck with a down strum. I tried to learn it on several occasions but kept getting frustrated and stopping. It was the twisting motion I was missing!! I finally got it!!! Thank you
Chantal du Plessis wow!!! I’m so happy you were able to do it! Who knew that sometimes one thing can make a world of difference! :).
I yr playing the Ukulele. I am struggling to learn to chuck
in songs. I can do the chuck, but can't do an up-strom to continue song.
This is the best tutorial for chucking that I’ve seen. Nice close ups and clear explanation. Thanks JJ.
Yay! I'm glad that this was really helpful!!!
I have watched many videos on how to chuck but this is the one that taught me how. Thanks JJ.
Aww really?! Much much mahalo for letting me know that! It makes me feel joy when people are able to learn it! How long did it take you to get it down?
@@JJMilare I learned to chuck within minutes after watching the video :) Your teaching style is simple, concise.and straightforward. Perfect for beginners like me.
@@janesoliven8166 within minutes! 😱 yeah!!!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 much mahalo again for learning with me! I will try to make more nice videos!
THE TWISTING MOTION WAS THE KEY! thank you so much i've been struggling with this for a while!
Much mahalo! I am so happy that you have finally got it!. I was truly hoping that people would pinpoint that twisting motion in other tutorials!!!! Wait til it comes second nature! Has it become second nature as of yet? :)
@@JJMilare it actually has! I was starting to think I could never learn it when I was going through all sorts of tutorials, but now I don't even think about it and do it naturally, thanks a lot again ^^
@@miim.9267 Wow that is so awesome to hear! Especially when you say you don't even think about it! When techniques become second nature is such an accomplishment! Great job! Much mahalo for learning and watching the tutorial too!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS DETAILED EASY TO UNDERSTAND STEP BY STEP HAND MOVEMENT ON HOW TO CHUCK, NEVER SUCCEEDED BEFORE THIS
Alright! You’re welcome! I am glad that this video really helped a lot! How is the chuck coming along now? More second nature now?
Yours is the fourth chucking video I've watched. I guess the fourth time is the charm. I finally got it with your instruction. Thank you so much!!!! And I enjoy your humor. :)
Wow yay!!!!! That really does make me so happy that I am able to teach in a way that people can learn easily! Much much mahalo for those kind words. I'm glad you like my humor too..haha..I don't think myself as much of a funny guy sometimes .ha.
Holy crap I've been trying to chuck for months and you show me how to do in 5 min. Now I cant stop and it seems like it was so easy.
Yeah!!!! That’s what I’m talking about! Congrats! And mahalo for watching the video! It means a lot to me when this video allows you to check and becomes that much more valuable!!!!! Lmk if there’s other questions in where to use the chuck too!
This tutorial is the best one out of all the others !! Lol I couldn’t figure out how to get chucking !! But this one worked!!😆🎊. Thank you !
Ah yay! I’m glad this helped a lot!!!’ 😃🤙🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
super a děkuji. Zdravím z České Republiky.
nemáš zač!
Of all the tutorials online this one literally helped me learn chuckinng. Thanks JJ!
Yay! Mahalo and you’re welcome! Please feel free to share this with whoever struggling to chuck too! I appreciate your kind words and makes me feel good that you are able to learn through this video!
The observable and objective way you articulate what your hand (and what part of your hand) is doing (how it is rocking) with descriptions of where the hand moves in relation to the body (the hand rocks down and away from the body), in conjunction with the camera angle capturing the motion you describe... this is nothing I have come across before. The way you articulate the motion, how it feels... your descriptions give my brain a path to follow, a line and sensation to trace.
Thank you for sharing your perspective, it is a gift.
Wow much mahalo for taking the time to write this! I didn’t realize what I was doing but the was you described it makes sense to me! And that’s the same way I was hoping it would make sense to others! Thank you so much!
@Audwyn Cromwell:
Thank you for your comment. It was everything I have tried to convey to J.J.
He really does have the "gift" of Instruction.
Thank you for making it so easy to follow.
You are very welcome! Much mahalo for learning here with me!
This is a great lesson. I definitely never knew the name of that sound and where to place it. Perfect length and excellent instruction as always
Akello Stone man thank u bro for those kind words!!!
This is brilliant!! Thank you so much! You are an excellent teacher!
Much mahalo for those kind words! I hope you are able to do chuck now?
This video was absolutely brilliant. Thank you
You’re very welcome I hope this helped? 😃🙌🏾
I can't explain how grateful I am for this tutorial!!! I've been wanting to learn how to chuck because I thought it would sound good together when playing the song "I'm yours". I watched and learned from other tutorials but I still couldn't do it. But after I watched this video, I found out that it was only the twisting trick that I needed, hahaha. I never knew it was THAT easy. You teach so well in a really simple step by step and fun manner!
As the title said, it is very effective!! I already know how to chuck in less than 5 minutes! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️ Count me in as your sub!! And may God bless you 🙏
Wow five minute?!?! That’s so awesome! That makes me so happy that you were able to do it using my video! Much mahalo for learning here with me!
Like somebody else said - Best chucking video I've watched! Especially appreciate the close up view of what your strumming hand is doing.
Much mahalo for your kinds words! These inspire me a lot. I am so happy this was of value to you!
Your chucking is the 4th video I have watched and it is BY FAR THE BEST! Thank you for your breakdown of exactly where to place thumb etc. so good! Thanks!
wow much mahalo for this comment! It means a lot! really! what was the one main part that was the difference between the others?
@@JJMilare you're so welcome. What set your video apart was how you had the video capture the side on angle. So I could actually see the connection between your thumb/ palm and the ukulele. The strum and twist was clearly shown so I could replicate with ease! Brilliant work mate!
Ah yes. That was something someone told me...that the hand should be seen at another angle :). I will remember that tip for other videos too so hopefully that helps others too!
Great explanation and visuals. So clear. Thank-you
You’re welcome! I am glad this was helpful! 😃🤙🏽
I've been playing for a couple weeks and when I learned to chuck, I noticed it came more naturally for me the way you showed...with my lateral thumb, basically.
Yay!!! Alright! I’m glad this way I showed was super helpful!
I’ll have to practice this again later. I’ve watched a few vids, but yours is very clear and concise. Thank you 🙂
Much mahalo! Thank you for the kind words and yes I like to try to be thorough as much as I can. I'm glad it's helping you! And yes practice makes permanent! You got this. Let me know how I can help!
Aloha my bruddah. You are patient,funny , knowledgeable n do a awesome job!! Mahalo
Much mahalo my brada!
I can finally chuck, THANK YOU 😂🌸
Yay! You’re welcome! I’m glad you’re able to chuck now! How long have you been trying? Much mahalo for finding and learning with this video!
loved the chucking its so amazin
It is! Which strum do you use your chuck on?
Aloha JJ - Mahalo for keeping a subject like chucking seemingly simple, the up close and personal view of what your hand is actually doing at least for me, is priceless. - Tom gcspanishms River City Strummers-SATX
my buddy Tom! Thank you much for the kind words! I will take note of that about the view of the hand! Much mahalo for the input Tom!
TY JJ. Apparently, I have been chucking and didn't realize it...thanks for the video clearly explaining how to do it properly.
You’re welcome! You must be a true natural if you were already doing it but didn’t know it! 😃
Great! Thank you. Your lessons are easy to follow.
Much mahalo for those kind words! I hope they continue to be of value to you too!!!
Loved this video.
Much mahalo for checking the video out! I am glad you liked it! 🤙🏽😃🙌🏾. Pls continue to learn here with me! I truly do appreciate it!
This was a great video on learning how to chuck! I loved it! And I finally feel like I get it!
Yay! I’m so glad this helped you!!!! Much mahalo for learning here with me. ! How’s the chuck coming along?
@@JJMilare It’s coming along - I’m brand new to playing the ukelele so everything I new, but I’m getting better at the chucking. Some chucks are better than others - lol - but I’m learning. I’m super excited because I work in a Correctional facility with teen boys and some of them want to learn the ukelele so I’m trying to get a head start so I can help them learn with the assistance of videos such as yours. I’m really excited!
@@Sasha-lk3cm yes just keep going. Keep practicing and everyday it will get better no matter how little or how much it will get better as long as it does step by step. Oh awesome u get to teach the boys that! I hope they like it too!
I'm glad I found you even before my Ukulele arrives next Wednesday.
Yay! Once you receive it you can practice a lot more! :)
Very nice demo!
Much mahalo! I’m glad you liked it!
Thanks for this detailed view of how to chuck. I’ve been struggling with it and now I know how. Time to practice!
Aw you’re welcome! That’s music to my ears to hear you say that! If you know anyone else who is struggling feel free to share these videos or you can teach them what you’ve learned too!
Keep that song going!! So helpful. Thank you
Hahaha mahalo! That’s the only part of the song I know u fortunately! Hahaha
Thanks!
Thanks for this!
You’re very welcome! 🙌🏾🤙🏽🤙🏽😃
I love yr teaching !❤🙏
Much much mahalo!!!! I am glad you like my style of teaching. I try to explain it as well as I can :)
Great!
Much mahalo again!!!
nice video cousin..love this
Mahalo cousin!
Genius! I finally get it!
Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I love those aha moments when it finally sticks!!!!!!! How did it feel?!?
You are uniquely enjoyable. Love the humor. And cool model plane.
Much mahalo! I hope I can keep everyone’s attention! Haha. Those planes are nice huh? Those are my uncles! He likes to collect and fly them! They’re awesome to fly!
Great lesson 👍
much mahalo mark! Do you chuck often?
I like this guy, he's good
😃🤙🏽
ahhhhhh this is the best chuck tutorial. i've gone through at least 5 other tutorials and i was getting so frustrated but now i can do it! mahalo!!!
Wow really?!? Much mahalo for those words! And I am glad that my video was able to make the most difference in your chucking! 🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Which info made the difference?
@@JJMilare the closeup video of the hand was extremely helpful, and how you showed how to do it step by step. The other tutorials didnt go into those little details. I learned it easily the first time i watched your video.. I was so stoked! Thanks again!
JL B wow much mahalo for that input ! That makes my day! And that was my goal to show you those little details that we don’t think of when we are doing them. I’m glad you found my channel!
Thank you!!!!!!
You’re welcome and much mahalo for stopping by!
Been looking for a good chucking tutorial and this is the best one I've come across by far. Thank you so much!
Hey thank you so much! I love trying to make it to the best of my ability! Much mahalo for the kind words! How is your chucking going now?
@@JJMilare Heya! Chucking is improving, thanks to your video tutorial. You're amazing!
Yay! I’m so glad my tutorial helped! I love it when people accomplish their goals! I try to make my tutorials as simple but efficient that I can. Mahalo so much! And so happy you were able to achieve your goal! Never stop! 😁
That was great. I have been struggling with chucking for a month I think. The twist and thumb contact made all the difference to me. Thanks JJ.
Wow! It’s so crazy to think just a little bit of change can help a technique! I’m glad you are able to do it now! How is it working so far?
@@JJMilare so much better thanks JJ. It’s still a little wild and loud. But it’s definitely a Chuck now! Thanks again m
HowlingFretFumbler yeah! Glad to hear! The more you do it, then the more you will be comfortable in the timing and the volume!!! I’m so glad you got it down!!! 🙌🏾
I was stuck on how to chuck! Thanks for this video.
yeah awesome! You're welcome and mahalo for watching! what was it that made this video stand out than others?
@@JJMilare .. The close up of you chucking and just the way you explain what parts of the hand are used ro chuck.
Yvonne Jackson Mahalo for the feedback. How is your chucking going now?
@@JJMilare Hello, Umm just okay. I'm a beginner so there is that. But I will keep working on it..
@@yvonnejackson5207 oh ok! yea just keep working on it and you'll get it! even 10 minutes a day just going through the motion, eventually there will be that "aha" moment! :)
I've saved this video since November but I only got to actually learn chucking today because I was so demotivated I wasn't getting it but I decided to seriously learn it this time and I FINALLY GOT IT! The exercises were extremely helpful too! Thank you so much!!!! More power to you!!! ❤
Wow I am so glad you saved this video and that it was helpful!!!!!!! I'm wondering how long did it take you to get it once you sat down and learned it?
How is it 2 years later? Do you still play?
@@mikenco yeah, I still do and I still chuck hahahah
@@clearwaterswither Does it get natural pretty quick? I'm struggling with it.
@@mikenco yes, it does! You just have to be consistent with it.
thank you!
You're welcome! Was the tutorial pretty broken down good enough?
Definitely! I've watched other videos and couldn't figure it out. But watching yours did the trick somehow.
DerpingIsDerp that’s so awesome to hear! Much mahalo for the feedback! I’m glad that this video helped!
nice plane :)
Mahalo!! They are my uncles. He loves flying and collecting! He can’t fly it right now during quarantine though 😞
Thank Youuuuuuuu!!
Van B. You’re welcome! How long have you been playing?
@@JJMilare I have been playing for six months :>
Wow that is a good amount of time! You are liking it so far? Anything difficult for you that you would like clarification ?
Had to review this lesson again too! I really lack rhythm🤭I can do it for a measure maybe two and then I lose it it’s frustrating. But I can hear you JJ saying in the background go slow and gradually build up. You wanted to know how I use the chuck? I use it to chuck the ukulele back into the case when I’m frustrated🤯😭
Oh wow yes you do know that I say start slow :). Chucking it back in the case? awwwwwww Don. It's ok! It doesn't matter if you throw it back into the case. What will be the key, is when you pick it up the next day and practice and chuck. Then the next day you pick it up. Then the next, the next, the next. :) Consistency is key! I believe in you Don!
Thanks, JJ! Now got the "chuck"! Do you fly the AT6 Texan? Me too!
Yeah alright! You’re welcome! Those planes are actually my uncles! I tried another one of the planes the other time, a little challenging but it was fun!
Hey Brah, Grest lessons Can you do a tutorial on Hawaiian Soul by Troy Fernandez PLEASE. There are none on CZcams.
Aloha Chris! I shall try look up that song. I don’t think I heard that one before but oh man if it’s Troy, then it must be a good picking song 😃. I’m not too good with picking but I’ll try look it up sometime. Bear with me tho, life has been busy and been getting so many messages so it might be a little bit 🙏
Hi J.J.
Im back. Been a Ruff month. I like the chuck!!
Welcome back! How’s the chucking going? I hope this coming month becomes better!
@@JJMilare:
Mahalo J.J.
The "Chuck" is goin 👍.
Im still getting a little hung-up, but as you say, Practice makes what J.J. ......... 😊👏. Have a great Friday J.J.
Mahalo!
@@cassandratakemyhandwilson4630 mahalo for the update! Yes! Practice makes permanence! 😃🙌🏾

Hi, how about Strumming Technique (Sultans of Swing)? lesson?
How ru supposed to do that if i strum w/ ur thumb
Pötâtö 06 I would try the same motion with your thumb but stopping the strum faster. Like a faster twist to mute it with your hand. If that doesn’t work then probably try to also learn to strum with your index finger as well. I also strum with my thumb or index. I guess it just depends on how I feel that day :) and depending on the song or technique I use :)
@@JJMilare thx😊
You’re welcome ! How did the technique work with the thumb?
@@JJMilare its acctually pretty hard for me but i also have been busy and havent been able to practice... i did try to learn how to strum w my index finger tho but i noticed that i kept missing some of the strings while strumming so for now im just going to be using my thumb🙂
thanks m8.
Charm you’re welcome! How’s your chucking doing now?
@@JJMilare
its doing really good :)!
i appreciate how you have the time to educate other people
Charm much mahalo! Yes I try to make tome. But recently haven’t had so much time because I am learning a new job so sorry if it’s been taking me long time to post a new video!
@@JJMilare
Oh It's alright! Focus on your new job. you don't have to worry (:
Charm mahalo! Hopefully soon will be able to post more! 😁
Love your videos JJ i hope you are doing alright😁
Much mahalo for those kind words! I'm glad you enjoy these videos! I hope to make more you will like. I'm doing alright, just trying to get back at creating. How are you?
@@JJMilare it's a pleasure my friend! I watched a lot of your videos, i started ukulele 3 weeks ago and i learn pretty fast! Thanks to you! I always know your channel's got something new for me to learn! I was sad to see you were not very active lately... I'm glad you are back! Could you do a video on a "boywithuke" song? The one you like the most :) sorry for the big message ahah mahalo for you answer 🙏
@@lazylime wow you’re a fast learner. Good job! Sorry I haven’t been active lately work has been kicking my butt! Oh btw what is “boy with uke”?
@@JJMilare you should look it up! It's a singer and he plays ukulele 😂 he is pretty popular right now :) i followed you today on instagram, i was wondering if i have any questions could i contact you? Yes i think i am learning pretty fast thank you! I try to play everyday! I hope you are still doing okay with all this work you got! Can't wait to see what you got for us next:)
@@lazylime oh wow yea I just looked him up and he is pretty popular! I gotta listen to more of his stuff! Yea you can message me on Instagram for any questions of course!

Is there a way to chuck when I strum with my thumb?
It's really difficult to strum and mute it with the same part of my hand
Maybe you can try to chuck when you are doing an upstrum with you thumb. Try to follow up with the palm of your hand. Or, when you are doing a down stroke with your thumb, at the same time mute the string with your left hand/fingers and you can get a similar chuck sound that way
@@JJMilare Thankyou!
@@sarahspaceslippers welcome! Did any of the techniques work?
does anyone know how to chuck when you are strumming with a pick?
I actually have never tried strumming with a pick before. But I knew someone who used a pick and chuck. I would think that the foundational idea is there...but I think that the difference would be the different angle you would have to play since the pick sticks out more from the finger.
What do you use to tune your ukulele?
i use an electric clip on tuner. Here is one that I like, it's a shaka tuner. amzn.to/3QOmv97
but I use my thumb to strum T-T why is chucking so hard for me :((
Ah hmmm. Maybe when u strum with your thumb, you can try to do the twisting movement so that the back of your thumb produces the chuck sound? If that doesn’t work maybe start to become comfortable with strumming with your index finger too? So that you can do some other techniques too?
@@JJMilare thank u, I'll try ur suggestions ^-^
@@hajitooru6938 you’re welcome! Let me know how it goes!
Kuya can u give me ukelele?
Aww I don’t have an extra one yet sorry! Someone else asked me too but I haven’t had one to give out yet. But I’ll write down your name if ever I do!
HERE'S AN EASIER WAY TO CHUCK.... Most people say to mute with the thumb/palm, but there's an easier way. Make a karate chop pose with your hand and mute the strings near the bridge with edge of your pinky and palm, while strumming with your pointer finger. Basically, you're muting opposite your thumb. IN OTHER WORDS, it's a palm mute strum!
Oh yea that’s a good way too John! I like to use the way in the video because the motion will help us get used to other techniques like the fan strum or playing really fast. So the techniques will overlap each other :) 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@JJMilare Another way to describe it is palm muting with a strum!
John Snowie palm muting with a strum! I like it! Is there a shorter term? PMWS? 😁
@@JJMilare Thank you! It's the best way to describe it. Maybe call it "Palm Mute Chuck." or PMC
John Snowie palm mute chuck PMC! That’s a good name. I was thinking PMS but that maybe wouldn’t go to well with a lot of people 🙂.
