I am 70 year old now I find the most happiness is to start play the Ukulele 👍

Thank you. My friend and I followed along and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos. x

Very nice thanks. I finally feel like I know what to do re strumming!! Now for the rhythm😬🙏🏻🥰

@marvelousmaker Год назад

When I am noodling I seem to strum okay but I am not putting much thought into it. Yet when I follow a play along. My strumming gets so ferocious that I feel like I am using the strings to grate cheese.

You are a good teacher Sir, I'm a young beginner from Zambia.

I didn’t watch live and I’ve been learning to play the ukulele since May . Great video, learning the notes , chords and music theory isn’t nearly as difficult playing and making the music sound GOOD. I started playing while my wife and I were on our 35th wedding anniversary in Hawaii . She signed me up for a 30 ukulele class and i haven’t put the thing down . I own three Ukes and fixing to get another one . I’m retired I got nothing else to do . I love it .

I have only owned my first ukulele in a month or so and right now I find it a bit too tricky to both strum in patterns , read the lyrics and remember where to put my “chord fingers”, so right now I’m just strumming down. But when I am better at finding the chords I will definitely try and use some ( if not all) of your tricks 😀

Strumming on the down beats is a great starting point. If you'd like to jump into more lessons on the fundamentals of playing, I'd recommend checking out our Beginner's Course: rockclass101.com/definitive-beginners-guide-ukulele/

Fantastic video. It’s helped me sooo much. Thank you!!

@accountingink 7 месяцев назад

Its interesting. Regarding point 1 I find that that although it is a sweet spot for strumming its not necessarily so for fingerpicking, And to transition between strumming and fingerpicking where the placement of the hand is at the fretboard is challenging because there is a reduction on space at the fretboard compared to the just above the soundhole for fingerpicking . Wonder if anyone has the same experience

@txproudproudamerican9474 2 года назад

I'm just researching if I should purchase a Ukulele and learn how to play. I've never played an instrument, but I've noticed people learning to play the Ukulele seem to be having more fun. Also, after watching this video it seemed to provide so much good info, and I actually didn't feel stressed out after watching it like I have when watching other instructional videos. Many Thanks!!

Def get one!! Here's our article & video to help you find the perfect uke: rockclass101.com/4-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-ukulele/ And when you get your uke, check out this page for some ideas on where to start as a beginner player: rockclass101.com/learning-paths/

I think the quote about not playing notes comes from Miles Davis

@brian423 Год назад

Thanks for the very valuable lesson. Two things: 1.) Tips 2 and 3 can be briefly summarized as "Let your wrist be your double-speed metronome." In effect, in a manner of speaking, isn't that so? 2.) If the strumming motion is pretty much all in the wrist, why should the choice of thumb or index finger make much difference in the strumming speed a player is capable of? (I ask partly because I'm finding it easiest to get a sound I like by using the flesh of the thumb for the downstrum and the nail of the thumb for the upstrum.)

@MattDahlberg Год назад

It’s not all in the wrist, the fingers are also active. Think of your elbow as a first gear, wrist as a second, and fingers as third. ;)

@brian423 Год назад

@@MattDahlberg The elbow is not supposed to move. The elbow holds still, so that the instrument can be held steady behind the forearm. As for the fingers, I have a hard time visualizing any motion of the fingers that would turbocharge a strumming wrist. (I'm talking only about strumming, not about any fingerpicking methods.)

@brian423 Год назад

@@MattDahlberg I think I may owe you an apology for my earlier reply. I'm sorry if I came off as a heckling know-it-all.

@dereknrobw-g4749 2 месяца назад

Excellent video! Are you using a Tenor in this video? Reason I ask, I am adult male with similar size hands as yours. I am just starting my Ukulele adventure and I borrowed a Concert from our local library and it feels a bit tight. Just wondering what size is your preference and if it would make a difference in comfort. Thanks!

@RockClass101 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the kind words, Derek! Matt plays tenor-sized ukuleles. I’d def recommend that size if you have larger hands as the fret spacing is wider, which makes it easier to fret notes and chords. If you can, stop by a local music store to try one out. I think you’d find that size more comfortable to play 😊

I’m wondering how I got golfer’s elbow in my strumming hand when I started playing finger-style and what I can do to avoid it in the future

@RockClass101 2 года назад

Hi Eddie, can you post a video of you playing on our forum? I'd be happy to take a look and make sure your form looks good: rockclass101.com/forums/forum/rock-class-101-ukulele-lessons/

@67angie 2 года назад

Me too! If you find the answer to avoid it, please let me know. It hurts very much and I had never thought, playing the Uke caused it... until I saw your comment just now.

@sasuke_2145 Год назад

when strumming up with thumb, most of the time lower string sounds like it's muted. Any idea how to fix it??? The only sound which comes is of thumb nail sliding in string without string vibrating much. How to fix it???

@RockClass101 Год назад

Can you post a video playing on our forum? I'll be better able to help if I can see/hear what's happening: rockclass101.com/forums/forum/rock-class-101-ukulele-lessons/

@enadow1 2 года назад

Sometimes I'm tempted to use middle fingernail for down strums on cord melody because my index nail is constantly breaking 🙁. Is this a bad habit? It sounds so much prettier with a finger nail.

@RockClass101 2 года назад

Totally fine!

@67angie 2 года назад

I usually use my ringfinger. Will now try the index finger after this tutorial

@mattyp3925 2 года назад

Hilarious. For every teacher that says use your elbow, there is one that says to leave your elbow still and its "all in the wrist." I am a few days in but 25+ videos later pretty much the truth is just do what "best works for you"
