@@Kate_rynDraws Lol same I have been playing the Ukulele for 2 months or smtg and my dumbass thought chucking is just muting💀 and I got a hang of using it in strumming specially riptide but now that I learned to actually chuck I can't play the Riptide 😭😭
learning more about drums has really helped my out in my playing of guitar actually, it’s really interesting how all these elements of music fit together
@@zackglickert4495 That's interesting. Because I too wish to learn percussion. And am a near beginner in guitar. Only, I'm quite weary about the loud noise drums make. It's my ear drums that don't like it! But, I love percussion! So, it's quite a dilemma! Even with headphones... or ear plugs!
@@cutechiangels they have electric drums that you can set to the volume you like and can even put on headphones so you’re not bothering other people! i wish i had a set, but i don’t have the money nor the room for one
@@JohannesHeldAs for why is there an E7, well I’d have to get into a bit of music theory.. tl:dr it sounds better If you wanna read: The chord progression itself is actually very common in flamenco music called the Andalusian Cadence, a i-VII-VI-V progression. Which in the key of Am: i, the chord that is minor of the first note in the key, which would be A minor VII, the chord that is major of the seventh note in the key, which would be G major VI, the chord that is major of the sixth note in the key, F major V, the chord that is major of the fifth note in the key, E major The lower or uppercase of the roman numeral determines if it’s major or minor. Now for the usage of E7 instead of a normal E, the use of seventh chords (technically these are dominant seventh chords, which are done by adding the minor seventh to a major chord) are usually used to induce tension as the chord approaches the root (called the tonic), to make the resolution of the progression more satisfying, as after the E7 we would loop back to Am which is the root of the key. The E7 adds tension before returning and resolving at the Am. You can see it for yourself too, play an E instead of the E7, I personally like the E7 for the darker tone it gives which sorta alludes to the minor key and the minor root. Apologies for the long comment, left a tl:dr above…. Hope you have a nice day!
i usually experiment on strumming patterns. and i found it very interesting that the same chord progression sounds very different depending on how you strum.
What a sweet, fun teacher. Love all your videos. Short, loaded with great things to try. At age 78 it takes me a while, but it sounds really cool. Mahalo.
For the first pattern, the subdivision is 8th notes. For the second pattern, the subdivision is 16th notes. Some mid tempo songs may allow the use of either pattern, but more likely only one or the other will work depending on the tempo.
the strumming patterns on Uke, Guitar or Mandolin vary according to the feel of the song. People should experience with different styles such as take just about any song you like to play and play it Reggae etc. Good Job Bernadette!!!
I'm struggling with just down, now your putting up and a chuk in as well... But I have been playing less than a day.. Finding your videos very helpful..
The way my tutor taught me was that a “zing” was a downstroke and a “ga” was an up stroke and a “zick” was the palm mute or a chick as you said so *zing ga zing ga zick ga zing ga was your strum pattern*
