hi guys, the greatest results that I have had was with the Arthurs Uke Blog (i found it on google) without a doubt the no.1 plan that I have ever tried.
Tyler I know this is an old tutorial, but I love it. Watching this helped me to get 'Old Faithful' in the bag! There is another strumming pattern you have taught but it's not exactly basic, although I love it just the same. D D DU U U DU DU. Thank you for all that you do!
I just want to thank you for your amazing videos, they're really an excellent resource for anyone who is new to the uke, or music in general, and there's plenty for the more advanced player as well. Great job!
+Jairamy Dreadful Thank you for taking the time to say thank you. I appreciate that you are benefiting from my hard work, and it makes me want to work even harder so more people can! Mahalo and let me know if you have any questions or if there is something that I can help you with.
Thanks for posting these tutorials. Great selection of strums, and very clearly demonstrated. One feature I’d love to see is an example of each strum applied to a familiar tune, so we can grok where to use each one.
Thanks for this video, it's helping me a lot. You make it look easy. I'm need to loosen up my wrist, my fingers keep getting stuck in the strings. Thanks again, you're a fun teacher.
I have been practicing a lot! 30 minutes daily. I am trying to learn as I go. I can play a few songs now thanks to you, bernadette, Cindy, and others. But, I like your method also! You know how to explain different things. I learn a different thing from each of the teachers.
How about a few song names for each strum pattern. The ISLAND STRUM aka THE CALYPSO STRUM works great for 3-4 time songs. Example STAND BY ME, and AMAZING GRACE.
Hi, Tyler ~~ thanks for the lesson & I signed up to "partner" with your 'ukulele community. Papa God blessed me with a Kala Baritone just before lockdown in Oregon, & i been loving lessons with Miss Bernadette & Andrew at Rock Class. Looking forward to more of these from you...
Great to have you friend! I love that and I hope that we can help you take your playing to the next level. Thank you so much for your support. I will reach out to you on instagram here after my lessons. Strum on buddy!
The clip is great, I agree, it's a great idea to do a clip on right hand techniques, it's a good pace and easy for a beginner. I can see after playing it only a couple of times how quickly you can progress and how much fun it is to play with other people. Thanks!
Glad that bee didn't get you, man. Thanks for the tutorial! I've been playing a couple years and make up strums based on how the song feels, but it's good to learn some new skills- and how to do the ones I know better! (Why am I so attached to strumming down??)
+Exility HD I can check it out, I prioritize the requests by how many people are asking for them, so if we can get some thumbs up on this comment I will for sure do it.
Thank you for sharing I’m glad I subscribed you I like to play praise and worship for the lord only your teaching is very well explained very understanding your such a blessing thank you God bless you always
+pehpehronni pizza Bees.... I appreciate what they do, but we have had some tough run ins. Thanks for the kind words and I happy to hear I make it fun to learn!
Here's what I like about your videos. You don't spend the first 8 minutes talking about what you're gong to show me, and four minutes showing me. Thank you kindly.
thanks for that video it really helped me because eventhough i play since 2 month now I'm still struggling to match strummingpatterns to mostly every song, but I hope I'm gonna get into that at some point :) do you have any tips how not slip out the strummingpattern while playing so easily?
+InvisibleGirl Yeah, one tip would be take it slow. Every time you play it will improve. Make sure you don't get frusterated and when you fall out of the strum pattern just try to get back in to it without stopping and starting over. Let us know if you have any other questions, and happy strumming!
dont forget to be realistic - you'll have to put in some work whatever system you use for learning to play the uke I've been studying different systems and discovered a fantastic resource at Arthurs Uke Blog (google it if you're interested)
+Pedro Chagas Você tem que viajar para os Estados Unidos amigo. Nao se preocupe com o seu Inglês é melhor do que o meu Português but I am learning with Duolingo! The Luna is a beautiful Ukulele.
Thank you. great help for me a basic beginner :) Wondering if you could do a tutorial for Talking to a Stranger by Hunters and Collectors ? Nice song which I sing but would love to play. cheers
No, but if that is the only thing you are looking for from the site I’d be happy to email it to you on the house. What’s you email? I’m on vacation so please be patient with my availability but like I said if that’s all you need for now I’m happy to help.
I just purchased my first ukulele and am having fun with it. Maybe I'm blind but I looked for the link you reference in the video about learning how to essentially strum (not the patterns) but the very basics of how to use your hand/fingers I assume. Can you direct me to that link? :) You guys are great - I'm looking forward to supporting TenThumbs and learning a lot from you guys!
+Angie Fadness Hey Angie, that video actually got buried and hasn't been released yet, let me put it together and I will send it your way this weekend.
+Leslie Chavez Dude you just blew my mind Leslie! I heard that song for the first time Thursday, learned it Friday, and we are doing it next Saturday, so in 7 days we can make that one reality for you!
Leslie Chavez the chords are C F Am and G and the I will make you queen of everything you see if F C7 Dm and Bm I’m pretty sure and the strumming pattern is DDUUDU
Yeah , I'm not seeing that link to help me strum better either . My finger keeps bouncing off or hanging up on the first string it hits . Being so many others have asked for that link as well and it's still not here , I'll go try another sight . Might come back if I get past twanging the high string ( it don't sound cool at all ) .
In Hawaiian yes, but not in American english, that is why word will auto correct an ukulele, to a ukulele. Do you also correct people when they are buying a burrito at Taco Bell and don't roll their Rs? haha.
It is bastardizing, it is evolving. I'm not trying to get you upset, I just respectfully disagree. Germans don't get mad at you when you say "pretzel" Do you say "Italia" or do you say Italy? Did you know that Paris has a silent s? How do you say Florida? Or do you go around correcting everyone saying it is actually "FlorEEda" ? Did you know "Florida" was even a Spanish word? I don't get upset with my latino friends when they pronounce "Michigan" phonetically in English. That is how language works friend. Don't get so worked up and enjoy the Ukulele, however people say it.
@@TenThumbsProductions You're given plenty of good examples to illustrate your point; I respect that. I reflected on why I got so emotionally charged about it. I think it has to do with living over there for a few years during my enlistment. I talked with a lot of locals at the church I attended who were musicians. They would correct me very politely as to say, "No, it's like this..." But, it felt really good to say things they way they would say them. I guess it seemed more authentic and special. Kind of like when they showed me the right way to throw the "shaka" or the right way to affectionately "kiss" someone on the cheek. When I say the word that way it feels like I am embracing their culture. All that being said, I think your message is to not get your feathers ruffled when someone pronounces a word a different way. After reading your text and further consideration, I realize it's not worth getting upset about.
Lookout Piano thank you so much for your reflection and insight. What has happened to the Hawaiian people is very sad, and I imagine that compounds the frustration as well. Thank you again for your story and perspective. For what it is worth I pronounce it the Hawaiian way now 😀 have an awesome day.
This is one of the best strumming tutorials I've watched. Now please show us on a song sheet that doesn't have the notes how to know when to strum. ( ukutabs.com/t/twenty-one-pilots/cant-help-falling-in-love ) Not a tutorial on the song, but WHEN to strum. I can do all down strums just on the chords where shown and singing along it sounds like the song, but it doesn't without the singing. Many Thanks. You rock!
Gee , how many people have been asking about that strumming link to no avail . I have fingers that twang instead of strum ! Tenthumbs , every video tutorial expects us to know how to strum and show us how to strum differently , I already know some chords , but they sound bad because of poor strumming . PLEASE , send us that link for before beginners strumming or make a new video , please . My Uke is gathering dust . . . ( sad face emo )

Great, easy tuition tips......Love the right hand dynamics. Thank you
Thanks!
Thanks for posting these tutorials.
Great selection of strums, and very clearly demonstrated.
One feature I’d love to see
is an example of each strum applied to a familiar tune,

that is a fantastic idea. I will look through my tutorials and find some examples for each pattern and link them in the description, great idea!
Fantastic will definately be following
Thanks for this video, it's helping me a lot. You make it look easy. I'm need to loosen up my wrist, my fingers keep getting stuck in the strings. Thanks again, you're a fun teacher.
Thank you Betty! We try to keep it fun and light. A loose wrist is crucial for a nice feel.
I am so happy to see this video! You explained it really well.
Thank you Marga! I've seen these ones over and over, so if you get them down they will take you far.
I have been practicing a lot! 30 minutes daily. I am trying to learn as I go. I can play a few songs now thanks to you, bernadette, Cindy, and others. But, I like your method also! You know how to explain different things. I learn a different thing from each of the teachers.

Glad that bee didn't get you, man. Thanks for the tutorial! I've been playing a couple years and make up strums based on how the song feels, but it's good to learn some new skills- and how to do the ones I know better! (Why am I so attached to strumming down??)

I didn't find basic strumming on your website. It looked more advanced.
Here is the basic strum ua-cam.com/video/36BMd4FarWs/v-deo.html
I have a hard time strumming and finger picking while playing
What kind of Ukulele are you currently using in the video??
Correct Pronunciation: OOH-KOO-LAY-LAY
