hi nice video im still a little confused on the ghost note how do u know hen to strum a ghost note?

[tafkam1]

@imbettadenu1 you do the action of strumming (either up or down) without actually hitting the strings

hey tafkam, awesome vid bro thanks heaps my wife bought me a uke for my birthday and this is the first song I wanted to play, so thanks again man good work here.....

[tafkam1]

@SumoNegro82 Awesome!!!

[MrCitrea]

hey, i bought a uku 3 days ago, so i dont got a low G. would you still recommend me hitting g on first beat, even if i got a high g string? :D

Thanks for a great tutorial :D

[tafkam1]

@MrCitrea yes, at least for practice. but to truly emulate his sound you need that low G string. it's easy enough to buy a set that has one

"u·ku·le·le [yoo-kuh-ley-lee; Hawaiian. oo-koo-ley-ley]

–noun

a small, guitarlike musical instrument associated chiefly with Hawaiian music."

I'm not pronouncing a word in Hawaiian, I'm pronouncing an American English borrowed word. Not that Websters is infallibly right, I just trust it more than some random person on the internet.

incredibly helpful video!! Thank you!!!!

Hey so I'm new to the ukulele and was wondering if you would clear this up for me. So are you playing on a different ukulele (Tenor or Baritone) to have a low G? I have a concert ukulele. Or how do you go about getting a low G? Other than that, the strumming in your video makes MORE sense than anything else I have seen on Youtube.Thanks! :)
