How To Strum Any Song - For Beginners - Ukulele
Learn how to feel the beat and strum along to ANY song, especially for beginners.
As it is THE most asked question on my Ukulaliens ukulele play alongs channel, I thought I would show beginners on ukulele a great way of thinking about strumming.
I show you how to work out the tempo or beat of a song and by just using a very simple DU DU strum pattern you can play along to different songs.
How to strum any song:
