THE MOST POPULAR UKULELE STRUM | ISLAND/CALYPSO STRUM TUTORIAL

Today we will learn and practice playing the island strum (also known as the calypso strum). This is a standard strum that every ukulele player should know. Warning: some ukulele players learn this strum and never move on from it. Make sure you learn other strumming patterns too.
Here’s a video with 4 other strumming patterns:

ALSO: when this video reaches 1,000 likes, I will create a tutorial just like this one but with the chuck :)


UKULELE USED:
I'm playing the Nova ukulele made by Enya Music. Retail Price ~$89
Link to buy: https://amzn.to/2FggXRK
This ukulele is available in other colors (white, black, orange, blue). I like this ukulele because it is partially carbon fiber and partially plastic. This means that I don't have to worry about the environment affecting the ukulele. I have this ukulele hanging up next to my desk and I play it daily :)
