Hi fumanchurisado - thanks for commenting. The strum pattern is mostly as follows, tho it may vary a bit here & there:- verse is C dududd F ddu G dd C dd F dd C dudu chorus is F ddu x3 then dd C ddudd F dud C d F ddu x3 then dd D ddudd F dud G d - hope that helps ... cheers for now!
Dave you make it all look so easy, while making the ukulele sound good!
New strings will take several days off constant re-tuning before they settle down but once they have settled they should stay pretty much in tune
Wow, after picking up a Ukulele in Hawaii I never thought I get to the point of being able to play a actual famous song, after watching this vdieo(and a few good hours of practice of course) I actually can play it. Thanks for all the help! can't wait to watch the other videos and to learn more.
+Fantastic_Doom Thanks m8 - happy strumming!
Good stuff, thank you.
Thanks Alec - happy strumming!
I can only give you general guidelines - ie make sure you get one with geared tuners and not friction pegs, generally you get what you pay for so i would advise getting the best that you can afford, also get good strings - I can definitely recommend Aquila nylgut. As to which make again I can only speak for Ukes that I have used which are Brunswick and Lanakai both of which I have found to be good, but some research on google is well worth it b4 committing
I now have my uke and thanks to you i have learnt 3 chords and a little tune in about 5 minutes!
Thanyou!
Been trying to get the c,f,g to run smoothly and it has been frustrating me all afternoon but just ran the intro through (slowly mind) and made it all worth while! Thanks again!
Hi - thanks for commenting, glad you liked it. I only know 2 people in Canada that could possibly know my first name and only 1 of them is into farming so is that you Rob?
Hi keith - the version that I based the lesson on is by 'The Beautiful South' and is played on accoustic guitars with a very laid back rhythm. There's loads of youtube videos of the song so have a listen and it should all fall into place ...
Hope that helps
That was just brilliant! I never thought I'd be able to handle the switch from D to G but a bit of practice and tolerance of numb finger tips and you've got it!
Paul Brannon indeed Paul it's all down to perseverance!
assuming you are playing the chords correctly the only reason can be that the tuning is wrong - try rechecking the tuning using a clip on tuner and make sure the strings are tuned GCEA from bottom to top and remember that the C string is an octave lower so don't try to tune it too high... see lesson 1 if u haven't already watched it
Hi Michelle, thanks for commenting - it was my way of trying to show that that strum was less definite, or 'lighter' than a normal strum. Hope that helps ...
Hopefully getting my Uke in the next couple of days, your videos have been a great help already.
thanks thisroboticheart - I'm working on the next lesson, should be out soon ...
captions/subtitles is the button labelled cc next to the cogwheel icon
Thank you for the video. It's very convenient for my students... and for myself, I must say!
@Harvey600 - thanks for your comment - happy strumming ...
The web address is
'shroprock.co.uk' and it should go direct to my shroprock website - if you are being redirected then something on your browser/computer is doing it...
I'm glad to hear that you are persevering with the Uke lessons!
sorry to have confused you. the correct pattern is :- verse is C dududd F ddu G dd C dd F dd C dudu chorus is F ddu x3 then dd C ddudd F dud C d F ddu x3 then dd D ddudd F dud G d - hope that helps ... cheers for now!
The full version of lesson (2) has the strumming pattern displayed in time with the song but you need to turn on captions to see it:- verse is C dududd F ddu G dd C dd F dd C dudu chorus is F ddu x3 then dd C ddudd F dud C d F ddu x3 then dd D ddudd F dud G d - hope that helps ... cheers for now!
Thanks - glad you liked it!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
+Anne Dodson Thanks Anne - happy strumming!
thanx dude - working on the next one right now!
Thanks Delphine - happy strumming!
I know some players who play G as a 'barre' chord by barreing the top 3 strings with the 1st finger at the 2nd fret and 2nd finger on 2nd string 3rd fret - might be worth trying that ...
I am having a great time learning this :) Thank you
-absolutebeginner :)
awesome. thanks !
Ur welcome 😎
Ur welcome Chris - keep on strumming!
yes of course - let me know which tune you want to use and I'll send you an mp3 of it if you want or you can download it from RUclips
@ thanks Harvey
thanks Arnaud, I'm glad to be of some help!
Thankyou very much !
I'm confused.. The first time you play the verse, I believe the strum pattern for the first C is V/\V/\VV, but later when you play the verse at 1:34, I hear VV/\VV.
Thanks!
@287monty1 thanks mate... and keep posting videos up they are pretty helpful :)
To be honest I have no idea why this would happen, possibly because the C string is a lot thicker than the other strings? Sorry I can't be of more help on this one - anyone out there got any ideas?
Hi thanx for making all these vids I really enjoy them,big fan I was wandering bin looking into researching/ purchasing a ukulele for a long time now, would like to know your opinion do you have any tips on what to look out for or good companys to purchase from, I want to make a one time investment not looking to upgrade in the future good quality any info would help :) thanx for your time
thankyou so much ill do that :)
Hi Chili. Thanks for these great vids. I bought a uke last year but didn't have time to really practice until now. Your lessons have kept me from chucking it out the window! But, I have wrist issues & playing the G chord is incredibly hard for me. I have tried altering it slightly by putting my middle finger across strings 1-3 on the 2nd fret & my ring finger across the 2nd string on the 3rd fret, but this finger sometimes touches the first string. Any other suggestions for playing G?
hi this may sound like a stupid qn but why is my c string vibrating more thn the others? like the sound echoes longer thn the others ._.
Interested in getting the chord charts, but it seems the URL does not work. Is there a different page?
Could you please give me /us the strumming pattern for this tune ?
Hello What is the difference between the small u and the capital U in your chords when it comes to strumming?
This is prob a really stupid question, but how do you turn on captions to see the strumming pattern ?
what is the strumming pattern on this?
That's probably down to my North of England accent! - interesting vision though ...
very nice-- will have my uke in a few days-- and will try-- i am older and have stiff and short ,wide fingers- how can I get them to work better? are there any exercises? my Friend in NZ has gotten me interested in the uke and I am a novice completely !! Thanks , Joan
Hi Joan, glad to hear you liked my video and I wish you luck with your learning - I too have stiffness in my fingers and although I don't know of any 'official' exercises I find that just practicing for 20 to 30 mins every day keeps my fingers working!
Indeed. You may enjoy my farm videos. Please can I use some of your music on my next videos ? I will credit you!! Cheers. Rob
Hey! Your Videos are awesome! I'm having a hard time counting or singing while strumming. Can you recommend any good exercises to overcome that?
Thanks Jana - to help with strumming and counting in time take a look at lesson 6 ruclips.net/video/4QNg6efeYqM/видео.html ;)
You have long fingers and my hand is small- not the rest of me!!LOL My husband didn;t mind and that is what counts-- he died a while ago ----- I have a friend here in US who was born and raised un UK--- and a uke friend in NZ-- -- fun to know others!!!
Ukes make people happy and bring us together from all over the world ;)
Ah, main page isn't redirecting, but this worked: www.shroprock.co.uk/ChiliMonsterMainPage.html
Hello Dave. Not sure why, but I prefer to do G in different way: 1 finger on 1 string, second on third and then third on second string... it's less awkward when I do this chord in this way. Do you think it's still correct, or maybe better I should try do this in right way? Thank you
If you find it easier then use it - you might like to try also this way - 1st finger flat across top 3 strings (AEC) at 2nd fret with tip of 2nd finger on E string 3rd fret (and G string open)
Thanks for advice Dave. I really appreciate your help ;-)
What is the strumming pattern please, The video is kind of fast for me to able to figure it out. Thank you.
marjs29 the songsheet is on my website here www.shroprock.co.uk/ChiliMonsterEasy1.html#blitz
and includes the strumming pattern ;)
Thank you for answering all my questions so quickly.
the video didn't even start and my fingers are bleeding.I WILL LEARN HOW TO DO IT.
Awesome hehe (thumbs up
whats the difference between U and u on your charts
Hi - it means to use a light strum of the strings on the 'return' from the downstrum as a sort of transition between the two sets of downstrums - hope that makes some kind of sense?
what's the name of the song of the intro?
bason234 Hi, The intro is actually 'I'm looking Over a Four Leafed Clover' I don't have a lesson for it but do have a video of me playing a version of it called 'I'm looking Over My dead Dog Rover' that you might find amusing to watch - here's a link to it ruclips.net/video/vQ4HdFNOOK0/видео.html
thanks very much!
What is the strumming pattern for this!
Hi Liss - its on the songsheet here www.shroprock.co.uk/ChiliMonsterEasy1.html#blitz
