Want a Better Rhythm Hand? ... listen to the drummer ... It's all there.

I tell my ukulele students if you want to develop a better rhythm hand you have to start listening to the drummer, start thinking like a drummer.

Drummers are telling you what the strumming pattern is, where the fills go, what beats to accent, it's all there just listen.

Just because you aren't the drummer doesn't meant you don't have to count.

And I leave you with this quote from perhaps the greatest rhythm hand in the business KEEF ... “Drums, eh,” says Keith Richards. “Without it you’re kinda nowhere'

So what I propose we will do next Tuesday is split into 2 groups. 

I'll give the beginners a two hour workshop to coach them on a bit, and all you experienced NUkers can jam out what you want, practise old or try new songs, be ready to step up to the mic and lead a song or two.

Ohana TK-35G-5 Five String Ukulele, How Did It Sound?

What did people think of the Ohana TK-35G-5 5 String uke I took to NUkes last night?

Was it louder, clearer, better than the Koa tenor I usually use for teaching?

I thought it sounded AMAZING, straight out of the box that afternoon, it played like a dream all night, just those strings needed tuning regularly while they stretched out.

Very loud and that low and High G string combo is fantastic, Jangle from the Octave G Strings but you still have single course of C E and A strings for picking and runs etc...

Very happy to have added this model to the range of Ohana ukuleles available in Australia.
