Recommendations

I've been asked more than a few times to reccommend which books to start with. This can best be addressed by a series of questions that I would typically ask.

This is usually followed by me determining what level are you at in your development? This can vary depending on where you are at in your current development with chords, single note playing, knowledge of music theory, etc...

You can start by taking an inventory or survey of you skills on guitar or ukulele. This will help in developing a plan for learning new stuff on your instrument or even general music.

UKESTRUM1

Hard Copy Book: $12.95

A Guide to Ukulele Strums


Learn a variety of strums and rhythmic patterns in wide range of musical styles.

One of the first skills a ukulele player learns is the art and craft of strumming, playing rhythm. This refers to an accompaniment technique suitable for the singer, singer - songwriter or someone who plays a support role for another instrument.

Strumming requires a specific set of skills. They are: 1) Memorization of chords 2) The ability to switch chords smoothly and 3) The ability to choose and execute a suitable rhythmic strum. It is this 3rd skill that is our focus in “A Guide to Ukulele Strums & Rhythmic Patterns”.

Though strumming looks natural to the casual observer, it is anything but natural to the beginning ukulele player. Even experienced players have difficulty in identifying and executing certain strums. Though this is one of those topics that is typically taken for granted, there is much to learn about rhythmic feels, accents, dynamics, strum direction, feel, percussive accents, idiomatic styles and tempo variation.

Tunings: Chord examples for C. Strums work in any tuning.
