Hi Brad,
After listening to your interview with James Hill I decided to get this course today Aug. 26, 2023. The thing that initially grabbed my interest in this course was the comment that there was really only one strum. I love it because that is the conclusion to which I had come long ago.
I have quickly skimmed through the ebook and also watched a few of the preliminary videos. I will eventually work my way through the whole course but I wanted to share with you my initial thoughts.
This appears to me to be an excellent pedagogical approach. The content is well and clearly explained and I think it will be a big benefit to anyone who takes this course.
We find ourselves in a wonderful time when there are so many great educational resources available for the ukulele as well as so many great teachers such as yourself. Thank you.
Hey Brad,
I’m glad you have the chapter on metronome right at the start. Every time I open the ebook I’ll see it and know to practice before moving on.
Strumming on “The Grid” has totally been a game changer for my ukulele practice.
No more :arrow_down: :arrow_down: :arrow_up::arrow_down::arrow_up: for me. That totally threw off my rhythm trying to find and keep the beat. Now I just listen to the rhythm, find that tempo and stick to it. The only question now is whether I’m hitting or missing the strings. (And the 8-sided dice has been an interesting exercise) Practicing switching between whole note strums, half note strums, quarter note, eighth note and sixteenth notes has been a much better way of staying on “The Grid”. Okay, throw in some triplet strums to mix it up and challenge yourself.
