I am unable to strum in the traditional manner, too heavy handed, so I made a leather pick from an old belt I had lying round. It has made a world of difference in my playing. Louder and cleaner. Tried regular guitar picks and felt. Too tinny and too muted respectively. I will say this: To each his/her own. Use whichever is more comfortable for you. Uke on.
Made my own leather picks with real leather. Two pieces of 4oz. tanned leather laminated together and then cut to the proper pick size. Just the right stiffness with really nice sound. I can make a dozen of these for about $8.00. Right now I thick one may last forever. Very sturdy.
Beautiful playing! You're so great at all sorts of things! I like the felt too, although I could be off,but the leather sounded ... crisper,but I don't like the bendy aspect... soooo, when's the KB cd coming out??!😉😉
Aww thanks Brandy! I kinda like the leather one too but only if it were just a bit stiffer. You’ll have to keep holding your breath for the album drop ;)
Great video! Felt sounded so much fuller and rich with clear consistent volume of each picked string (no muting). What tune is this? Would love to hear the full track, especially if you were playing it. Superb skills!

I love that song you were playing!
Thanks Milly!

Thank you so much! Just a little tune I made up. Thanks for your kind words and for the watch!
Who knew so many options, and nice concise explanations.
Thanks Peter! I was pretty surprised by all the options on them!
Lohanu makes a stiffer real leather pick. It is my favourite.
Cool I’ll have to check one out!
Felt pick is the best I use one
Thanks, we liked the felt best too- very helpful!
Right on! Glad you found it helpful!
Been so long since I've looked at this channel, I miss it!
Love your song you made for this video….~~~New to a Bariuke ~~ this was so helpful! Take care~~ Christy from Washington State 🌲
Awesome! Thank you so much!
The felt or your thumb.
What company sells the red pick you showed here with the rock you words on it?
Cool riff man!
Thanks Ron!
the first pick sounds deeper then the felt pick so ya.....
Sometimes it’s about the feel
Leather pick sounds pretty lame!
It’s was definitely not my favorite, but the strumming felt great with it!
The logo is lame AF!
I agree Milly it's pretty lame looking
What’s the music you are playing?
Just something I came up with for the video
