  • Kenny G is now teaching how to play the Ukulele, how awesome is that! ;D

  • Stu, you are my ukulele hero! No one else explained chucking in this detailed and excellent way. I am well on my way to being a great chucker!! Ha! The other members of my uke club will be sooooo jealous! But I will now refer them to you for instruction.  Many mahalos!!! You're the best!

  • @StUkulele OK thanks, because it looks like you upstroke with your index and it's becoming complicated if you have to start downstroking with thumbs, chunking, upstroking with index, in a fast continuous rythme it quite hard, thanks. It seems more easy this way.

  • @Troispistols You can relax the fist on the upstroke...allows the thumbnail to strike the string on the upstroke.
