Strumming Workshop:

Sorry for the poor time management. We had to rush though and only partially covered Part 2 of the Strumming Workshop. You can review the slides that we covered by clicking here.

You can also download a Strum Patterns practice handout which shows commonly used strum patterns for 4/4 and 3/4 Time Signatures.

Here is the link to the video we watched:

Simple ukulele strumming patterns

Because of time constraints, I didn't show these videos but they are supposed to go with the lessons:

4 VERY USEFUL STRUMS IN 4/4 TIME for the UKULELE

VERY USEFUL 3/4 STRUMS for the UKULELE

We will continue with this part of the workshop at a future meeting.
