    💙 Bernadette, this is exactly what your students need. Please keep them coming. The presentation and delivery are perfect. One suggestion, your voice track is coming out only on the left channel. Prior to editing, or after the video and audio is on a time line, go to the audio tool and "pan" the audio to center. This will put it into both the left and right sides giving you stereo. Love the new hair and keep the tutorials coming. Happy Holidays!

    Great lesson--it's so important to remind people to count out the beats. One suggestion, you might want to suggest one or two songs that fit each strumming pattern well.

    Thank you. I just got my first Uke 2 weeks ago. This is my first experience with any stringed instrument. I have played drums for 15 years so including how the strum patterns lined up to the count made a world of difference to me.

    Really good tutorial, nice pacing and clear explanation. Wish I had been shown like this when I started playing,. It was like here's the chords, go for it, the strumming comes naturally. But of course really slowly, until you find a tutorial like this. However it would be helpful to suggest a couple of songs to practice with. Cheers.

    Yo Bernadette, could u do some strum lesson for country/folk and/or love song sector? I'm kind of stuck between some basic fingerpicking and island strum with like zillion variations. What sort of a strum would you play for lets say song called 'broken coastline' or 'dark black coal'?
