Today I want to share with you a video that is one of the most important things you need to do properly as a ukulele player - STRUM.
Weather your a beginner or long time ukulele player, weather you play at home or in a ukulele group, strumming is most likely the thing you do most.
The thing that I have noticed is that many people just pick up a ukulele and strum what come natural to them. The problem with this approach is that most people's natural instincts are wrong.
They use improper technique which limits their talents and could cause injury.
Since I am dedicated to making you the best ukulele player that you can be, I created this video to help address the main strumming problems.
In this video I will give you 3 tips that will help you become a great strummer on the uke.
We will discuss:
1. Which finger to use when strumming.
2. Where to strum on the ukulele.
3. Looseness and flexibility of the wrist.
When your ready to become the ukulele player that you know is inside you, check out www.ukelikethepros.com

This was incredibly helpful. I’m self taught and been playing it for the last year. I’ve really struggled with using my index finger to strum. Telling us to bring it down to where the neck of the ukulele meets the base has made all the difference in the world!!

When you use your index finger to strum, what part of the finger do you want to use? Because when I strum with my index finger, it tends to get caught on one string making it stand out and not have a clear sound when I play a chord (if that makes sense) I’m assuming you want to use like the pad of your finger but in the video, it looks like you are almost using the tip or the nail of your finger.

Thanks so much for the video! I am not sure if I am getting the right sound out of my strum with my index finger though, because it sounds a little too "tappy/clackity" when my nail hits the chord. Up until now I have been strumming with only my thumb because it gives a nice warmer, softer tone. I want to switch over to index strumming though, so do you have any advice for getting that softer sound? Thank you!

Trying and trying and trying, but still my forefinger catches on those two outer strings. I have a sneaking feeling it has become a source of mental and thereby physical tension which is not going to help. If somebody cracks the way to resolve this they will instantly make the ukulele and similar instruments 100 times as popular. I would lay odds this is the reason Facebook Marketplace and similar sites are full of ukuleles that have barely been touched and are now for sale. That can't be sensible. Who will find a way to resolve this? And I don't mean just putting the lonely, barely-touched ukulele on Craig's List or whatever.
