That's the very colorful Amibeth playing a Kala Archtop Sunburst Tenor in case you're wondering.

Interesting. I looked up some threads on ukuleleunderground and most posters seem to prefer to use three fingers to play the D chord, not the thumb. She can obviously play however she wants to, and I defer to her on what feels best for her, but I wonder how much unnecessary shoulder and wrist stress she's causing herself constantly hunching up her left shoulder and twisting her wrist between chord changes.

@itsalljustaride They're not barre chords. D and E are almost always played with the thumb.

(I don't actually use my thumb for E, but most people do.

is that sam totman of dragonforce on the bass? :PP

[itsalljustaride]

Sounds great, but her technique seems pretty terrible. Barring those chords with her thumb and all. Good way to give yourself a sore arm/wrist.

awesome

I make vintage looking pickguards for the Kala archtop tenor ukulele. 4 colors are available. Go to Ebay and search for "Kala pickguard".

Thanks,
