Hi Miss B ~ Thank you ~ thank you ~ thank you! I left another comment on Patreon so I don't want to repeat myself, except to say YOU are the BEST teacher! Anyone reading this, stick around & LEARN ukulele in a fun & happy way. Miss Bernadette is the BEST!
Please do more percussive ukulele strumming pattern tutorials! I tried to find more after the live you did about this, but I couldn’t find any. Thanks!
This is SO flippin' awesome, Bernadette!!! We have a small local uke jam, all beginners, and last night one of the players was just tickled that he finally mastered the "chuck"!! Once he got it, he was 'chucking' to every song! I can not WAIT to show him this technique! Love it so much!
Marie Teresa Marie!!! That is absolutely adorable! Please congratulate this member for me! The chuck is such an important and fun part of learning ukulele strumming
Becky H. Hi Becky!!! I filmed this after doing a livestream. Everyone’s feedback really helped me break it down into these parts. Glad you liked this!!
I just found this video today. It is so challenging my brain keeps wanting to go a different direction but slowing but surely I am getting the coordination down. This is a good workout for my 62 year old brain.
No problem Ms. B! Thanks for teaching me everything I know. I remember getting my first ukulele a couple years ago, and thinking it was a mistake because I had no one to teach me. But then I discovered your g chord tutorial and I instantly subscribed. From then I loved your all of your videos (and I kinda miss your short hair 😂). Thank you for being such a good teacher. And happy almost thanksgiving 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊😊😊😊💞💞
Yikes!!! About the time I think we are going very straight line you throw in a curve ball!!! I love this! It's kinda reggae, kinda Latin, kinda waltz... Just plain jamming COOL!!! I'm such a perfectionist that I'm still on day 9 of the 30 day course but this pulls on my drummer side. I'm So Happy 👏👏👏 Thank you ❣️
Mitzi!!! How are you doing?!? I’m so so so happy you are working on the course!!! I’m glad you’re taking it slow. And trust me, the first days are the toughest. After that, the course gets easier ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you have fun with this percussive ukulele tutorial. It’s a super fun/new trick that makes playing sound more sophisticated 😂
Wow! Synchronicity! I'm new to uke playing but have been playing drums (casually with friends) for the past 10 years. So when I picked up the uke, I spontaneously started drumming on it whenever there was a break in the music that clearly needed percussion. I thought this is so fun and sounds like a mini cajon. I wondered if other people are doing this. Apparently they are! The possibilities of combining the percussive elements of the uke body are limitless. I'm looking forward to experimenting with some of these techniques. That's one good reason to invest in a uke with higher quality wood on the body of the instrument. Bernadette, thanks for sharing this awesome video! :-)
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Oh no problem!!! I loved it!! Got me into the Christmas spirit alright!!! You guys play so well together!!! Was happy to catch one. I sometimes miss them because of the time difference so whenever I do catch one it's a delight!!! 💜💜💜
I began right after your livestream, and I’m finally getting it! Thank you for pushing yourself in order to push those of us who wish to take our playing to the next level. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
dude I can strum for hours but this percussion business is hard on the arm, am I the only one cramping up? This is very addictive too hahahaha!! Love it!!!
Excellent lesson. Been working on it the last couple days. Will use this for last verse of Little Drummer Boy this Christmas season. Fits really well! Thanks!
Hi Bernadette, I love your videos and they helped me a lot practicing. I just started playing last week and I struggle a lot with my left hand. When I keep my thumb on the back center of the fret board, as you say, my thumb seems to slide up a lot and I loose the grip. Do you have any suggestions what I could do that this won’t happen? Thanks a lot
Hi Lisa! Try moving the thumb around to a position that is more comfortable for you. Everyone’s hands are different, so you may find a position that’s better for you. Also try to rest the ukulele on your lap if it’s a larger ukulele or try using a strap. Sometimes the strap helps us find a comfortable position :)
Gran vídeo Bernadette! Me hacía mucha falta y me estoy dejando el brazo derecho practicando. Te quiero y te odio por este dolor de brazo!! 😉 Gracias!! 👏👏
Thank you so much this tutorial. It was really well explained and I got it very quickly. Please could you explain the next steps in developing percussive ukulele. Ie steps 5 - 8. Thanks in advance. 😎👍
Look, it does sound cool - but I am concerned about the piezo element! Never mind the thumb - it will develop a callus, but is the piezo element on the bridge designed to take the beating?
Hi Bernadette, I love this, it kinda makes me think of a James Hill style. I would love to see a collaboration with you and Mister ukulele cheats :)using this technique .thank you for showing us this
Hi, I've come across your video, I tried to download the page, but when I went where your link took me, I could not download. Have you put a stop to that.?? Also around 2.15 it sounds like you are saying "now do it on Em" ,, looking at you finger placement, I can't see you doing what I know as an Em.
Sound is definitely low on this video compared with all your other great vids. I have all volumes on RUclips and computer on full and still have to turn the sound up on my speakers.
Hi Bernadette, great video. Sound seems a bit low 😂 I can hardly hear your beautiful playing. I was probably just concentrating hard, that was challenging for my coordination.
I watched this video 2 or 3 times.. Thinking, oh OK... This isn't too bad. Then I played along and my fingers each had a mini stroke and died. In such a n00b. Ugh. But thank you! I'll keep trying!

Love this, the audio is just a bit low tho if you'd like to fix that, please.

That's a cool T-shirt quote also.

When I heard part 4 I was about to cry. That is so beautiful I WILL learn this even if the strings erode my fingers or i put dents in my ukulele.
Thank YOU Bernadette! That was FUN! Please do more percussive instruction. :) Love LOVE it

Cool. Like accompanying yourself on bongo drums without having to admit to having bongos in the house.
😂 that’s a great way to look at it
Cheers Bernadette, sounds great, lots of fun! Please do some more of those percussion uke tutorials👏👏👏

"Perfect is boring"
Thank you so much for teaching me. I used this technique as background music ina video I made. I will give you credit in the description.
Gran vídeo Bernadette! Me hacía mucha falta y me estoy dejando el brazo derecho practicando. Te quiero y te odio por este dolor de brazo!! 😉 Gracias!! 👏👏
Fernando Rodriguez hola Fernando!!! Muchas gracias!! Que bueno que me quieres y que mal que me odies 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can you recommend some songs that fits this pattern please 🥰
Hi Bernadette. Love your great Vids.
CJ Stars thank you so much 😊✨

Hi Ms B, May I put in a request for future 30 day uke challenges for percussive ukulele and one for chord melody, please?
Really cool!
Alissa!!! Hey! 👋🏼
Thank you so much 😊
Yeah! Love it! It needs to be played on a Latin song 💃
Adriana Rodriguez agreed!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I wish I will practice this ukulele in school
love this thanks sooooo much !!! also ur rly pretty
Bernadette what brand strings are on the ukulele, thanks in advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Look, it does sound cool - but I am concerned about the piezo element! Never mind the thumb - it will develop a callus, but is the piezo element on the bridge designed to take the beating?
Very weird question but at which point do we switch the chord? Is it when we tap on the down ?
I love your page. I’m gonna work on this technique
My music teacher Mrs. Riggs recomended you for ukelele
Very helpful ❤️
Hi Bernadette, I love this, it kinda makes me think of a James Hill style. I would love to see a collaboration with you and Mister ukulele cheats :)using this technique .thank you for showing us this
Jim Nash hi Jim! 👋🏼 I think I may see Mr. Ukulele Cheats again in the future, so I’ll try to do something like this with him ;)

9:35 sounds amazing
You're an angel
Really helpful
beautiful thankyou :)
Awesome video.
Beauty of colors thank you so much for ALWAYS being so encouraging.
These techniques wont damage my uku?
Any songs that work with this strumming pattern?
Some more advanced strumming patterns please!
😎 COOL 😎
Love this one! Sounds like a song from a spaghetti Western. Where is Clint Eastwood?
Спасибо!!!
Sound is definitely low on this video compared with all your other great vids. I have all volumes on RUclips and computer on full and still have to turn the sound up on my speakers.
Ohh, I dig this. It sounds really cool up to speed! And I'm so glad your friend is not in a group called the uku-ladies haha
Rock Class 101 thank you, Drew! 🤗🤗
Hi Bernadette, great video. Sound seems a bit low 😂 I can hardly hear your beautiful playing. I was probably just concentrating hard, that was challenging for my coordination.
Marama Henare I’m working with a new mic and still figuring out the settings!! Thank you for letting me know
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic The mic is definitely low. I've written it all down and will keep practicing
Gavin Lackey I hope you enjoy practicing!! :) thank you for the feedback too!!
I watched this video 2 or 3 times..
Thinking, oh OK... This isn't too bad.
Then I played along and my fingers each had a mini stroke and died.
In such a n00b. Ugh. But thank you! I'll keep trying!
im lucky i mastered in just 1 hour😭😭😭😂

That smile at 9:38 though
Hallo Bernadette der Ton von diesen Video ist sehr leise🤗
I am sorry! I will work on this!! Thank you
your mic is low on this video. I can hardly hear you. Please put some gain on it in the future. Thank you.
I’m really sorry, Robert! The settings were off 😭😭😭
You look so amazing.
