This isn’t a video …
This isn’t a video which teaches exactly how Chris Ramos plays or sings, it’s an amateur “simplified” down version of how to have fun faking your way through the song. Music is to each his or her own style - keep practicing and trying new techniques and you may discover things that even professional teachers couldn’t impart to you.

So sad that you …
So sad that you missed the whole point. I’m not a pro, I’m not perfect (I said practice makes perfect to encourage everyone to remember to keep trying), I’m sharing an easy way for other amateurs to fake their way through a song or two.

I can see what he …
I can see what he means by “dat aint perfect”,
but you just missed a few strums toward the end of the video,
I am a beginner too and I payed a lot of attention to learn this, so thats how I noticed
but you are a great ukulele player and this vid provided me a cool new strum pattern and good chords
muting, scratching, like you said, it’s about your style, and I can see what you mean by that.
keep up the good vids

And thanks for that …
And thanks for that mini tutorial in the science of strumming. Like I state in my vids, I’m not a pro. I did a post talking about strumming technique and how it should be unique to each individual’s style. For this video, I show the chords, not strumming technique. This is obviously not for advanced players, but for those beginners out there who may have picked up a uke and want to practice making music. If you can, post a video response to show us how it’s done. That would help us out more.

The ukulele ( …
The ukulele (pronounced “oo-koo-lay-lee”)is a small Hawaiian stringed instrument which was developed in the late 1800s. The instruments have four strings and are generally (traditionally) shaped in a figure-eight shape, like a miniature guitar. Ukuleles come in all shapes, sizes, and materials now. My personall collection of over 25 “ukes” includes some that are almost as tall as I am!

whats a you-ku-lay-lee?
by bluffho, on 06.24.09 @ 3:26 am
Actually, yes, you …
Actually, yes, you are right. And I finally broke down and posted a video response with some strumming technique shown. In my new video, I strum with a slightly different rhythm, which I like a little better. Play around with it, I think strumming should be unique to each individual’s style.
