One for absolute beginners wanting to move on from basic up down strumming by adding some simple flourishes to their playing. One of the oldest tricks in the book.
I am liking this new series of tips you are doing for beginners. I have seen a few more experience players doing this, and now I understand what they are doing. It really adds a lot to simple songs. Thanks.
My pleasure both. I never hold myself up as a teacher, but figured some simple tips that anyone should try out would be in keeping with the ethos of this blog!
Coming from a guitar I only ever used a plectrum. So I use a plectrum on the uke. I find it so hard to get a steady strum with my fingers. It looks like your brushing up and down with four fingures or are you justin using one. Cheers
