Fake Strums Tutorial | Ukulele Hunt

http://ukulelehunt.com/2010/06/23/fake-strums-tutorial/ The fake strum is a simple technique that I use a lot in my arrangements. So it’s about time I gave it a post of its own. It’s used in fingerpicking pieces to play full chords. It sounds like a strum but it’s just done by picking individual strings in sequence. Here it is played twice slowly then up to speed. Why bother?
Hey guys! I come from a guitar background and was taught to play scales using the "Three Notes Per String" method. http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?9272-Uke-Scales-Three-Notes-Per-String-Method

Circle of fifths

Circle of fifths showing major and minor keys Nikolay Diletsky 's circle of fifths in Idea grammatiki musikiyskoy (Moscow, 1679) In music theory , the circle of fifths (or circle of fourths ) is a visual representation of the relationships among the 12 tones of the chromatic scale , their corresponding key signatures , and the associated major and minor keys. More specifically, it is a geometrical representation of relationships among the 12 pitch classes of the chromatic scale in pitch class space .

Jim D’Ville recently released a DVD teaching you how to Play Ukulele By Ear and has been blogging helpful hints and interviews with ukers from the hugely knowledgeable to the clueless but handsome . So I turned the tables on him and coaxed a few my tips out of him. What does ‘playing by ear’ mean? To me, playing by ear means listening to what a song is doing and being able to recognize what is going on and then playing along with it. Many genres of music have a certain form which simply repeats itself. For example, if you familiarize your ears with the sound of the 12-bar blues chord progression every time you hear it you’ll know how to play along with it without thinking about it. http://ukulelehunt.com/2009/10/21/play-ukulele-by-ear-jim-dville-interview/
