My boyfriend is a super guitar player, he is 70 playing in bands etc since he was 17, I grew up with learning piano, and know about timing, from my classical music, I've just started with ukeleles, tenor CTuning and Bertone with GTuning, similar to guitar, my boyfriend would like me to play guitar eventually, we go to alot of Jams, mainly guitar players and I'm training my ear with various chords I've learned from you, thank-you! I'm week on the strums and how to use them while jamming. I've notice that the cowboy strum is the most used, I hit the D string then hit all 4 strings on the first beat following how most of the guitar players do, works pretty much for most of the songs but when it's a walz 3/4 timing I get a bit confused to what srumg to go to, your teachings are very interesting Thanks
My husband and I are social distancing, so looking for productive ways to fill my time. This is perfect. Thank you! I can actually get lost in my practice and have done so in the past for up to two hours. You provide enough information to allow for further personal study.
Again thank you Kevin. I so enjoy the way you teach. I have tried a few teachers, but you have a great way of knowing how to reach out. I love your singing as well. Canada
Kevin I found you back with the "prettiest Uke song in the world" video and liked it but it wasn't enough to move me from the channel / teachers I was using. After seeing the new style with the blue information block below your teaching, it was a game changer. I really like it, it gives a visual clue of course but helps with the timing etc. A suggestion for future classes might be, go over a song with your excellent teaching technique as usual, maybe break it down over two or three lessons and then do a full play along as a standalone lesson. It would be good to get a complete song instead of additional bits and pieces however that is extremely helpful also. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback and really appreciate you learning with me! Getting ready to launch a new site next week with a lot more content. Hope you’ll check it out - Kevin
Wow I really dig your courses! You should do some playlist on your RUclips to organize them! It's hard sometimes to know which course I'm following! Thanks a lot for the work tho!
Here are some songs I play in 3/4. Edelweiss, Silent Night, Mull of McIntyre, Tennessee Waltz, Norwegian Wood, Down in the valley, the wedding Ave Maria, Morning has broken, Are you lonesome tonight, Amazing grace, Annie’s song, White Christmas, Hallelujah, etc.
Hi Kevin, I check my uke every to make sure itś properly tuned, but it doesnt sound like yours. What could I be doing wrong? Help! BTW, these lessons are a life saver, weŕe semi-self-quarantined, Iḿ over 60. And your lessons are so great
Hey Jennifer - what device are you using to tune your instrument? Check out this tutorial on tuning if you have a chance: ruclips.net/video/x3vlJv09pDo/видео.html. Very appreciative of your support! - Kevin
Actually, Elvis's version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" is in 6/8 or 12/8 time, not 3/4. But I suppose the example of Twenty One Pilots shows that those time signatures are more or less interchangeable for purposes of ukulele strumming. Just be sure not to apply a fast, pounding "1, 2, 3" beat to this slow, tender song, as one might do by thinking too literally in terms of 3/4.

After struggling with strumming, I have learned so much from this tutorial. Thanks

Amazing Grace is 3/4 and so is House of the Rising Sun
Thanks Rob - great tunes! Anyone in the community tried playing these songs before?

Hi really enjoying you’re uke lessons, as a 83 year old man the fingers and brain sometimes don’t want to cooperate. Thanks.
Enjoy the process and take it slow William. A little bit every day goes a long way

Your 'and' counts all tend to be a bit late, like it's swing time.
I’ll take a listen
