    Tip for practicing: If you do not live alone and your family is going crazy while you learn strumming, use your fret hand to mute the strings by placing your fingers ever so lightly across them, and then strum. :) Once you feel like you have the strum down better then you can play full on (and impress 'em)!

    I’ve had my ukulele now for 13 days. And say first my fingertips really hurt and were sensitive but after 30 minutes of practice everyday I have callouses and I don’t feel pain anymore. So I really thank you for this whole series because it’s motivated me to practice and not lose motivation so fast.

    Twinkle, twinkle, little star

    Twinkle, twinkle little star

    This is the first of your 30 Day Challenge videos that I found confusing. If you could add playing through the whole song with the strumming pattern, it would really be helpful - I notice that several people have asked for this. I'm reading along with the printed material but I'm having trouble with the single 'd' strums at the end of each bar. I wrote the words under the notes, which helped somewhat. I think that it's hard for beginners to understand why one strum sometimes counts as one note, and other times the DU is one note, but two strums. I think it's the timing and the beats, but it throws me off beat when this happens. I love these videos overall and they're amazingly helpful. Thank you!

    The best. I needed this. After 3 months I finally learned Happy Birthday for my grand daughter’s birthday. I was learning cords and strums. I think I can learn this. I have better have great grand children. My children and grandchildren are way past this. In 20s, I think they believe I am becoming sinal for trying to learn something new. I am really enjoying ukulele, Tampa , Fl. My little soft fingers are starting to get hard.

      If you pivot the hand towards the head of the ukulele you might have better luck. Also practice switching to G7 without strumming to get your muscle memory to kick in 💪🏼

    I got my ukulele 12 days ago and I can't believe I'm capable of doing so much already when I've never played an instrument before and I had always thought it was too much for me, so thank you so much!! these tutorials are fantastic!
    I'm so happy I ended up finding your channel (thanks to looking for a Twinkle, twinkle tutorial, as I need to sing that song to some children and I'm so bad at singing I thought playing it in the uke might help me :D), this step by step approach is super useful as I can find many tutorials for so many things (not many as good as these, btw!) but I don't know what I'm supposed to learn when so this is helping me a great deal.
    But today I have to say I'm a bit lost :( I'm not really managing to add the strumming pattern to the song properly. I try reeeeeaaaally slowly, but I confuse myself not knowing when I'm supposed to switch chords... would it be possible for you to do an extra video (once you're back) for dummies like me? Btw, I was also a bit lost with the homework for video 11, as I can do the strumming patterns as isolated (and boring things) but I can't add them to a song :(
    Thank you!

Looks more graceful! ***Need to work on doing that! Looove that new strum!!!!! That stronger down stroke gives it more “Pizzazzzz” ........you’re right! Thanks “Coach”😘😘😘

After 2 months watching your reviews, i ordered the Enya X1 on 5-13-20 ~~ I am sooo excited, Miss B! @ 😎 As you were calling chords, I could see the shapes in my mind's eye... That's progress! 😸

    Another winning lesson. The Strum. Such an important subject, an incorrect strum can Really throw the rhythm off on a song. A friend whose primary instrument is cello, sat in with the worship team playing acoustic guitar. She was seated next to me and her strumming pattern completely threw off the rhythm. Almost didn't get a chance to work on today's lesson. I got a package from Okinawa today and was having Too Much Fun playing! Until now I thought the funny vibration pattern of the strings was just a product of the video camera, but WOW!, they really Do jump around! Also there was some Candy I really shouldn't be eating that came with it. Funny, I never thought of Japanese candies as an accessory to a bass. LOL. Thank you So Much Ms. B! Hope you're getting some time to visit in California. Praying for your safe travels. God Bless you, Jose, Kit-Kat, and Arigato.

      It is so much fun! I took it to church last night, and played it through my Bose p.a. system. It has a great voice. Being used to my regular basses, I would overreach at first but soon got used to it. The "rubbery" strings were my second hurdle. They don't allow for slides as easily as on my full size bass. A quick shot of Finger Ease took care of that. I will have a better report to give on how the electronics work when I have more time to play with it. Love the built in tuner. I first tuned it up with my Snark tuner, then I realized it had one built in. When I accessed that it showed that it was in tune, ( of course), but it really has a Vivid display. About the candy, they are delicious of course but don't you know I'm Allergic to them? I break out in FAT, (insert rim shot here). Seriously the swelling may never go down. Someday send me an email and let me know about your adventures in your journey to the east coast. Don't be in too much of a hurry getting there, they're gonna have some Rain! Thanks again!

    For those around here who are not a great fun of strumming cause you feel like following the rhythm is not really your thing... USE A METRONOME!!! I use an app on my phone that is called Soundcorset and it's great. You can set it to your own rhythm and then keep on building and speed it up! It will help you internalize the beat. It worked really great for me!

    It's easier for me to count.
    one and, two and, three and, four and.
    The number is always for the first stroke (beat): down, down, down down.
    The AND is always the stroke (halfbeat) in between or upstroke.
    Here it would be
    down (and), down up, down (and), down up
    it's easier for me to keep the beat that way.

    I’m gonna learn to hate this song but before I do I’ll get it. I just played it through for the first time on ending on the soft down strum. Wohoooo. Creating new brain cells is hard.

    While strumming down we were strumming to C four times but with 'down Down up' strum how many times do we have to strum.

    UG, I'm having trouble with the strumming, perhaps it;s the timing/counting/beats? at the same time. otherwise, I love this tutorial and challenge, yes it's CHALLENGING!

    I don't get the strumming. If we have to play C//// do we play dDUd (4 strums) or dDU dDu dDu dDu (4 times 4 strums)?

    Hi Bernadette! I came across one of your videos one day and I directly bought a Ukulele and starting practicing! you make it look so fun and easy! I wanted to get a concert Ukulele but I accidentaly bought a 26 inch one, which is a tenor I assume. But its going pretty awesome. Im on day 13 now and I was wondering, when do I start tuning the Ukulele to "U" instead of "C". Also, I have a "Ukulele C" and "Ukulele D" on my tuning device and I'm not sure which one to use.
    Thank you so much for everything !

    The part where i struggle the most--stumming 🙄 There are songs that i wanna play but strumming is a challenge so ill resort to island strumming instead

    This tutorial is amazing! I do have a question, when your using the strumming pattern. When its one strum per chord ( like G7/or C/ ) do you do the whole strumming pattern or just go down?

    Thanks for the great lesson. I still don't get how to fit a strum with regular beats (DDUD) into a song where chords change sometimes after two, three or even one beat. I'm sure that's coming.......

  • @lishavi6607
    @lishavi6607 2 года назад

    I would like to be sure about the 2nd strumming "dDu".
    Is it, for instance, on C//// : 2 x dDu ?
    and on F// 1 x dDu ?
    How to count that pattern: 1&2&3&?
    Thanks a lot.

    I am LOVING these lessons.... (being a retired teacher!).... I have had my ukulele since 1968, a special souvenir from Hawaii, and never learned how to play it from books (Pre-computer!!). I'm having good success from following the lessons, but, cannot find the download printable pdf's.... Please help with that?!

      Hey! No. It’s completely normal to struggle with the strumming patterns. Try this quick 5-day challenge. It’s just focused on strumming and it’s here on RUclips ruclips.net/p/PLJFa3EaocfZnj0TPM4TtsOOuAPjeVCBl2

    oh hi Ms. B!
    I'm having trouble adding a strumming pattern to the song. I mastered single down strums but the one you taught today and D DU UDU I can't seem to do!
    Any suggestions?
