so what is the strum pattern at 4:40 cause i dnt get its not UUD UUD cause i did that and it sounds way different from what is in the video its like something is missing

[Dominatoruke]

@xiAresx I never think about specific strum patterns when I play. And when strumming up and down I am not necessarily hitting ALL the strings all the time. In this case many of the down strokes are really only catching the G string by itself or with the C string also. That being said, here is the pattern at 4:40 thru 4:44 (the space between strokes is to simulate time value.

i totally love the way the you play this but i have a question is your uke a concert??

[Dominatoruke]

@killinsight2 My uke is a tenor.

I'm having trouble getting that nice high pitched harmonics noise how do you do it?

[Dominatoruke]

Actually, I have trouble getting those harmonics myself. You just need to mess around till you get it. Just lightly touch the string directly over the fret while plucking and release you fretting hand right as you pick the string. Good luck.

[xiAresx]

are you just palm muting @ 8:00 or hitting th strings with a down stroke while the strings are muted?

[xiAresx]

@Dominatoruke thank you so much
