EZ Ukulele Thumb Strum and Simple Chord Melody Technique - Song for the Mira - Anuenue

This video shows a simple ukulele strum using just the thumb. We will look at various levels from beginner to intermediate ukulele strumming. This style of ukulele strumming provides a nice mellow type of sound; perfect for a quieter song. This week's song uses simple ukulele chords so should be playable by most. In addition we will go through a "strum through" version of chord melody.
I am now accepting private students online if you would like to advance your playing in this style (Note prices are in Canadian Dollars) www.fourstringstrummer.ca/sho...
I'm featuring the new Anuenue Singer RT1M-TS in this video - available here: www.fourstringstrummer.ca/pro...

@@fourstringstrummer. Just a little tip for how much you do for us all !! I appreciate it. And I like just even hearing you sing and play. So nice in this day of over produced songs. Like sitting by a campfire !

Great suggestion about sticking to one's level to keep the challenge, but not become frustrated. Thank you.

[@fourstringstrummer]

Thanks Karen! Glad you liked it!! Kelly

A beautiful mellow tune. So calming to play and sing. Thanks, Kelly.

Hi Mike - glad you liked it. It's not a very well known song but it's such a nice one and worked well for this technique. Thanks!

That song was something very special Kelly. I felt I was there. A gentle soft touch. You are so right about not getting frustrated at the level you are currently at. The aNueNue Singer Mahogany Tobacco Sunburst Tenor RT1M Ukulele sells in Australia close to the $2,000.00 mark. What a lovely tone it has and suits that song so well.

Hey Therese - It is an absolutely beautiful instrument to play

[@antonpas3903]

Lovely song and once again the explanation of the strum and chords so well explained. Top notch

[@fourstringstrummer]

Thanks very much Anton! Much Appreciated! Kelly

[@stevebailey8515]

Well I enjoyed that now to try and strike each string evenly and not get caught up on one which then becomes load. The joys for learning

[@fourstringstrummer]

Glad you enjoyed it Steve!

[@richdavis4007]

Super! I've been thinking about a soft upward strum. This helps a lot, Kelly.

[@fourstringstrummer]

wow, great. we are impressed. and the Singer/ANUENUE sounds great on this tune. We will try also with the melody. But insted to say 2.string.3.traste we say 'g' it is more easy, if you know where the notes are on the freadboard. -- keep strumming. --

[@fourstringstrummer]
