This is the video that changed everything. No hyperbole. I mean that. It changed the way I feel about uke, about writing music, about genres of music I'd never considered. I stumbled across it at like four in the morning a couple months ago while I was looking for uke tutorials and it lit a fire under me. I joined UU as a paid member because of it. It completely changed the way I approach playing ukulele and blew open the opportunities for developing my own style. It's weird. This three-minute video from 11 years ago with only 35k views and 200 thumbs up is the one that had me up out of my chair, unable to sleep, pacing the hallway with my uke and trying to make magic happen. A little video, part of a huge body of tutorials from UU, in an ocean of content on UA-cam... this is the one that lit a fire under my butt. Aldrine... you slay, man. I appreciate you.

Are there more techniques to strum picking? My thumb doesn't seem to be long enough to reach all three strings. :|
