An Easy Way To Combine Strumming By 'Feel' & 'Structure'
You probably fall into one of two categories. 'Feel', or 'Structure.' BUT... why not get good at both ways of learning rhythm and strumming patterns. We tend to play to our strengths, and ignore our weaker areas, but if you can get an understanding of both, you'll become a much better ukulele player. Not only will you be able to play better, but you'll have a more musical ear, have the ability to be more creative with your own strumming patterns, and in general have way more fun playing! Here's my method on how you can brush up on those skills!
