Thank you SO much for posting this, Cynthia! On the Banana Pancakes live jam, I was the one who asked about chucking and now, thanks to this tutorial, I can finally chuck!!! And trust me, I've been trying unsuccessfully for a while! Your tutorials are the BEST! Thank you!!!

Thank you Cynthia! I just became patron. 1. Does the chuck normally hurt your fingers? 2. Are you getting that distinctive sound by chucking with ALL the fingers?

welcome, barbara! 1. you should be doing a regular strum, which shouldn't hurt your fingers. 2. i strum with all my fingers, but you don't need to to achieve the chuck sound. it's more about the timing of the mute after the strum.

Is the upstrum also with all fingers - for me it is difficult to make a good upstrum after mute?

That's a great tutorial . I have played guitar for many years and my uke is a baritone , where you also play guitar chords , but no 5 or 6 string . So for me the strumming patterns are what interest me with the uke . The strumming patterns create that very distinctive uke sound . More please !

Just became a patron. Love your teaching, and the chucking tutorial is very helpful. Love everything you do. I hope I will get to meet you in-person some day. Will be taking a private lesson from Lenny soon.
