Just found this video after become obsessed with Rodrigo y Gabriela on KZread-very big with percussion on guitar (check out their cover of Orion). So glad I found this video for uke. It’s such a great reference for someone starting to learn percussive beats and you give great explanations. So excited to keep practicing!

SLOW IT DOWN!!! I love what you are teaching, but no beginner can follow the movement that fast. Also, it is hard to tell with the bass slap if it is landing on the strings, behind the bridge, or above it, because the camera is dead on instead of at an angle.

Great video Simon!
