4 VERY USEFUL STRUMS IN 4/4 TIME for the UKULELE - UKULELE LESSON / TUTORIAL by "UKULELE MIKE"

[Fititodamian123]

Thank you Mike, that was helpful. It puts order over your musical ideas (sometimes you strumm the ukulele really fast, but in an untidy, not clear way). Keep posting things!

[paulmay7777]

Hey Mike your Uke is really nice. An Oscar Schmidt I believe? Have you tried the cheaper laminate Oscar Schmidt ukes? My better half is getting me an OU2E which is on its way. Should I prepare for joy or disappointment?

[magicmike1122]

Its funny you mentioned sometimes go back and redo something so you dont forget it cause when i'm learning a new song i always go back in the middle of it and make sure i didnt forget the other one lol... Currently learning Somewhere over the rainbow

[katyspazkitty]

I wish you were my grandfather! xD

[Fagedave]

No one has taught me more than Mike. He is a professional, so you know...he kicks butt at this.

[NiallSandwith]

Mate, that lesson was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[asianwhite2007]

What type of Uke is that?

[douglasdc3and8]

@musicteacher2010 I use my index nail down and my thumb nail up? Is that ok

[SketchpadDragon]

@douglasdc3and8 thats a common way that its taught in many tutorials, i tried it at first, but this feels more comfortable for me, both work just as well :)

[kuv023]

Can I download your video? pls... :D

[DakotaRevolver]

Very good video, helpful and fun to watch, but those birds in the background are RIDICULOUS!

[jinn84hnnl]

Thank you Mike! Great lesson! May be for those strumming pattern you can show us by text or figure like you did with the F chord. For example, the swing shuffle would be: UD UD UD while the straight one: D U D U.

[diablobasura]

[WilliamT1964]

Doesn't the word 'shuffle' imply a swing feel? I wouldn't refer to the straight pattern as a shuffle. With all do respect.

[loveruleshate]

Thank you so much for sharing...

[robsinging1]

calipsoo strumming is my favorite. it really makes a differnce in songs.

[icanhazvids]

straight 8ths is not a shuffle, just to be clear

Hi Ukulele Mike! - these are the best lessons ever - being an Oldie I find it harder to follow the spoken 'down up down up etc... but soon as you start playing I can follow your lead easily! thanks again and look forward to more as i played guitar before i've taken your advice and ordered an Oscar Schmidt u6w from the States - should be here soon! Cheers from Southsidebobby in the UK

Dear Ukulele Mike, do you use the same patterns for 2/4 time or are there special strumming patterns for that as well?
