This is my entry for the play it forward ukulele video contest: http://ukulelereview.com

In this video I give a brief explanation and demonstration of a triplet rasgueado, a scratch, and then put the two together to make a rhythm with a fandango feel to it. The techniques shown here can be done in multiple ways and used for various types of music, so please be creative with it and experiment!

If you're new to the ukulele, grab your ukulele before you watch the video! I'll walk you through the individual motions for each technique.

Many thanks to Mike (http://www.youtube.com/AjaxTh eGoat) for spending hours at my house editing the video for me, cutting the video down to under ten minutes, and including the bloopers reel of mishaps that occurred during the filming.
