I appreciate the explanation of the strumming simulating drumming . And you’re guidance with counting . It can be these little tips that can make a big difference , especially to self taught people like myself who rely on whatever I pick up . So grateful for the knowledge . Thanks again ~ Cheers . :)
I've watched a few of your videos and always get something out of them but this one, with your solo at the end, really put a smile on my face. Been playing the uke for maybe six months now and steadily building up a few skills and a play list but your lessons just add a whole new dimension and a whole lot of fun, thank you so much !!
