Rumba Strum on the Ukulele

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

I teach you how to play rumba...First you will learn the technique for a slap...Then the pattern: D-DU-slap-U-D-U . Notice that the first Down should last twice as much as each of the other strums...The slap should sound for the same duration of each strum (not the first one of course)...Finally I play this chord progression: Am-G-F-E7 and show you how the rumba pattern should sound...I hope it helps...Practice everyday and you'll get it...

Thanks. I like your step by step. I was waiting for "My Little Runaway" with that chord progression. Now... I need to practice that.
