Alright, time to break down this triplet strum. First why? Right dynamics and strong right hand technique is what separates the good players from the really good players. Adding variety, volume, nuiance, and just plain ol' hot sauce on some old tunes to help give the Ukulele the personality that it deserves. But it all starts with the right hand technique and strumming better.
Alright, now what is a triplet? In the music world it is refereed to as a tuplet (not all tuplets are triplets, but all triplets are tuplets), let's take a look at this passage from wikipedia.
In music a tuplet is "any rhythm that involves dividing the beat into a different number of equal subdivisions from that usually permitted by the time-signature (e.g., triplets, duplets, etc.)" (Humphries 2002, 266).
The most common tuplet (Schonbrun 2007, 8) is the triplet.

The sudden lick at 3:19 Is the best part of this video haha. Here I am, "wow I can finally do a Tripet, I'm amazing." Then you pull out that wizardry to put us back in our place.

Now this is an awesome lesson!! Really helpful, so Thank You!!!!
Thanks for sharing. That's looks like the legendary George Formby triplet strum.
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial. I love your spirit & your passion to spread peace via this tiny instrument. It can be done!
Loved it. I love the short riffs you do better.
BlueJunco I have been saying to for awhile but we have something that is right up your alley coming really soon my man! Stay tuned.

Tommy Harnage Thanks Tommy, it is coming in full.
Thank you! This helped me out a lot!
This video is five years old so I don't know if I'll get an answer and it would be better to ask on the Patreon, but i find my index finger is curling under the more triplet strums I have to do and I'm not sure how to combat this. I know that I'm doing it so that I don't strum up with it after I strum up with the thumb. By the time I get to G7 in the progression you gave above, I'm strumming with my knuckle unless I consciously straighten my finger which throws off my timing or has me hitting the strings weird.
Also, the four chord progression is helpful for those four chords but when I try to do something else (say the chord progression in the beginning blues video) my fingers are lost and I'm getting caught in the strings again. Any tips there?
Hi Ben! So, the best solution to this problem you already touched on it and it is being conscious with extending your finger straight. The problem is you are going off beat, so what is the solution? To do so at a really really slow bpm and try and keep it even, as slow as you can and have it still feel musical. Set a goal four times in a row and everytime you hit it double it, 8, 16, etc, until you get to 16, then speed up the BPM.
Try that and let me know if you make any headway. Good luck!
@@TenThumbsProductions Thanks! I'll give that a shot for a few days!
Freaking awesome
Excellent tutorial, I've seen this done by cats like James Hill, it looks like he's defying gravity or something when he does it super fast, its nice to have a tutorial that breaks it down by the count. Will have to incorporate this in the 3/4 songs I play at home. Hmm, maybe Norwegian Wood? Was thinking if this would work for Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World, but I doubt it, it's too mellow of a song for that. I usually just cheat and play in 4/4 time. with a slow DDUDUDU, but I want to figure out a good strum for it in 3/4 (6/8?) Any ideas?
Rudy Ramirez Jr I usually with 3/4 try to keep it Waltzy and go down loud on the 1 and soft on the 2 and 3, same thing with 6/8. It's just what I hear in my head when I hear 3/4. The other one I would do is a 1 2&3&1 2&3&1 2&3&1 2&3& for songs like My Girl (Where did you sleep last night) and if you have a low G you can just hit the bass one the 1 and than strum the chords. Those are my go to approaches to that time signature.
Awesome!
Happy.Yusuke. Ukulele Thanks for the constant support my brother in Tokyo. I need to come out to the east some time and jam with you!
You are welcome! I want to play with you. I am looking forward to see you someday.TenThumbs Productions
thanks!
Snarkys Sharky Your welcome, it is our pleasure.
Hello me again I was wondering if you kindly could do a tutorial of "Sugar Town" by Nancy Sinatra please? loving your vids.
***** Let me check it out. I really like your last suggestion. You've got some pretty mature music taste for such a young lady! Thanks for the kind feedback Serena.
Why thank you, I'm not as young as I look though sadly.

I don't want to rain on your parade but surely that strumming order would prove very uneconomical, and the index finger should make the 3rd upstroke, not the thumb?
c s that’s how ukulelezaza showed me but I always found this more comfortable, both work friend!
