Just learning the Uke and I must say this strumming pattern when practiced is a game changer for me. I was bored of the normal chord progression, but adding that sinple TAP at the start has changed the depth of so many songs for me. Thanks!
Wow I just found your channel and this was the best tutorial on the strum, bloody fantastic... now I'll no doubt annoy my wife with my playing trying to master it... Thanks mate from Australia and thankyou for spreading the Aloha.
Wow this is the most accurate tutorial so far Tysm! So I got my uke today and I can play this song already but I play it the simpler strumming method without the tapping How long will that take me to learn? I'm really excited to learn this to make my dad proud 😅. Because he loves that song and so do I +new sub
Thank you ! My playing was missing the "solo" G string, knew it, but didn't tried yet to figure by my own how to get it, and the Life ( or maybe the algorythm of UA-cam ;) ) sent your tuto to me ! No doubt with the G string "solo" trick, this song sounds much better played, more aerial and sequenced at the same time. I'm just surprised there is no palm mute at all, but maybe I got used to the way I played it with palm mutes on the first down and up strokes, because I learned it this way and it seemed to fit approximatively with the tapping sound ( not the solo G string ) we can hear on the Iz's recorging, making it sounds kind of a reggae style. I tried quickly to add a palm mute on the first up stroke after the "solo" G, but it seems too complicated and not useful for playing it as Iz did. If you have a clue for what the missing tapping sound, it would be great ! Maybe a tap on the body of the uke ? Thanks !
The tapping sound is actually Iz's finger lightly tapping on the top "G" string. If you want videos of Iz's live performance, he's not tapping the body of the uke. I'm glad you got Iz's famous strum technique down. I think this strum is key to cover this iconic song.
It does take some practice to get the strum to sound smooth. Start off slow to get the rhythm, then the speed comes later. The trick is to twist your wrist and not bend your elbow.
Best tutorial i have watched on this strum. This has helped me big time thankyou !

Thanks!
I definitely think this small style technique is what gives Iz his signature sound. Glad to hear it helped. Keep on practicing!
The best demonstration I have ever found, Thanks you so much. Aloha

Finally, someone who gets it right! Thank you!
Thanks for noticing. Even though it's a subtle difference in strumming technique, it's really the magic in Bruddah Iz's strumming style.
Wow this is the most accurate tutorial so far
Tysm!

Hi Tony … thanks for another helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
Tricky to get the rythem as quick as you are doing but sounds great when you do,thanks for the video😊
