Clawhammer (frailing) Ukulele

I learned this watching Aaron Keim's clawhammer ukulele lessons:

I acquired a banjo a couple of weeks ago. This is a fun strumming style.

i'm learning way more from your vid than those dudes who take uke frailing under a microscope, i know they're trying to be helpful but......part of my problem is that i am playing my uke left handed without changing the strings. so i need to hear the frailing and kind of reinvent it so it sounds similar eventhough i don't use my thumb exactly the same way, this is a long handed way of saying thank you for the helpful vid.

I'm glad you're getting something out of the video. It's a very interesting style and fun once you get it down... It must be difficult trying to learn the uke the way you are. Is there a reason for doing it that way? Just wondering. There is a guy who plays guitar with Clapton on his tours that plays the same way (lefty on a right-handed guitar). Good luck, thanks for watching.

What Ukulele are you using in this vid?

[808quake]

the reason i don't switch strings on the uke like i do on bass and guitar: it's just easier to read chord charts that some right hander is using, otherwise i gotta redo all fingerings in my head when i see a right handed chord tab if i had my strings rolled, weird ?

thanks, but check out aaron, he's smooth.
