It’s a pity that strumming patterns aren’t provided, could you however provide a list of common strumming patterns instead? Just in one of the blog post type things.

You all need to please stop putting weird comments on this website. This is for ukulele tips and tricks not for you to have a free therapy session to state all your problems and annoying dirty jokes. Because big surprise nobody wants to read the comments of people who are being immature. We are here to have tips and tricks on how to become a better ukulele player and so please please please stop this madness.

On a different note, I loved these tips and tricks and I think these are totally useful for people who want a little help with the ukulele but do not want to watch a video. This is confusion free and helped me so much I totally recommend this to anyone! 10/10 stars for these tips!

Thanks 🙂

Thank you! I’ve been playing for probably 6 years. I don’t play a ton but this website has helped me slip right back into the rhythm whenever I’m back at it! I’ve always been a drummer first and foremost but the Uke allows me to maintain an understanding of melody/chords and keep my vocals in tune!

John
