LIVE Bluegrass Ukulele Strumming Tutorial and JAM Session - Duke Banjo Ukuleles
This week's video is the LIVE bluegrass ukulele strumming tutorial and JAM Session we held June 29, 2024. In this video we go in depth on how to play all of the various strums to get you started playing Bluegrass and Old-Time style. I am now accepting private students online if you would like to advance your playing in this style (Note prices are in Canadian Dollars) www.fourstringstrummer.ca/shop/lessons/23?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc
This video was co-hosted by myself and Jamie Houston from Duke Banjo Ukuleles. We are treated to a look behind the scenes of what goes into the design and manufacturing of Duke Banjo Ukuleles!
This was our first live event so we're still working on some of the tech. We'll work to improve on the audio and possibly a split screen to show me playing and the techniques as well as the song sheets. We're still figuring it all out! We'll do more in the future!

      Hi Dolores - I've used the stock strings on the Aklots and they seemed to work alright (not sure what they come with). I generally use Aquila NylGut strings on most of my ukes and have no complaints with them at all. They seem to have a good sound and they certainly hold up well.

    Kelly, I have listened to the three of them a number of times. In all honesty I would be hard pressed to choose my favourite. However, the Anuenue C4 is my pick. When I started my Ukulele journey with my significant other, purchased B&M Tenors Solid Spruce and Solid Koa tops, laminated sides and bottoms. Still play them both but much prefer the tone of the B&M Koa that Hubby uses. ;-) Upgraded eventually to Ohana TK- 35G-5-string Ohana CK-35G-5-string Ohana CK-35G All solid build mahogany.

    Rats. Just took “the leap” and bought an Oscar Schmidt based on a video. Haven’t even tried to play an instrument for 40 years. And that was me “strumming up” because I just flipped my brothers garage sale acoustic guitar because I’m lefty. No lessons. Just the Roy Clark boot (❤) and a wicked case of ADD. Now I want to string inverse so that my picking hand is still my dominant as I recognize that’s important on a banjolele and I’d rather re-learn and convert the cords for my right hand and get the picking/strumming correct. Love your style. Subbed.

    This is an excellent new explanation of the more advanced strums. Thanks. I had sort of given up on those, but now I’m going to work on it.

    Thank You Kelly. You have the knack to breaking things down, and making it a lot easier to practice and learn. How you remember the lyrics beats me. I have to cheat even with the oldies I should know off by heart.

    I just cant get that strumming. Keep breaking in to island strum. Do I have the number of beats wrong?
