    Thank you so much! I have been trying to learn to chunk for ages! I wasn't being able to make the strings ring before the mute, so it used to sound like "chk", but after watching your video, I finally managed to make the "chunk" sound.😊

    Great explanation, Stu! - I have been trying to learn chucking with Cynthia Lin and sort of got it theoretically, but always felt that I wasn’t using he correct fingers of my right hand (I was only using my index finger). Your explanation of the two different ways to do it really helped. I’m not up to speed with it yet, but at least I fully understand the technique now.

    I know people say this about a lot of different videos, but this one has really helped me get the chuck better than any other video (too many!) I've watched. Thanks! One question... I have a tough time with rhythm, so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but when you do the early G7, why skip the 1st down-strum on the next measure? It seems it goes early-SKIP-up-chuck-up-down-up-chuck-up, and it could go early-DOWN-up-chuck-up-down-up-chuck-up. Does skipping the downstrum just make for a cooler rhythm, or is there some rhythmic/theory reason for skipping? I do like the sound with the skip, but as a beginner, skipping the downstrum sort of adds to the cognitive dissonance (of the early G7 and everything else about playing ukukele). :) Thanks!

    Love the quickie fun Friday tutorial. I think I am finally getting the chuck! I could have used a little more S-L-O-W time on the early G7 and what happens after that but I just keep playing the video back. I WILL get that one eventually. The short videos are easier to find the sections I need to replay. Love from Sacramento to you and yours. I look forward to the next fun Friday.
