Ukulele strumming
I’ve been bunged up with flu for a few days, so I haven’t started grabbing all the article stuff together yet. Just wandering off on a tangent at the end of a Saturday… Ukulele progress!
I’ve managed to get the chords down now, and it’s becoming a less frequent occurance that I substitute guitar chords for Uke chords, but learning some of the strumming techniques is a bit of a challenge. George Formby (for it is a pre-requisite of any Uke player that you can play a) Formby and b) Iz) created some pretty advanced strum patterns that involve multiple strikes of the strings with different digits. Who’d have thought it would be so complex?!
Anyway, with the help of YouTube I’m getting there, so I’m still feeling pretty pleased with my purchase. Still nowhere near good enough to inflict myself on the public, but in time…
