I made a tutorial for basic percussive and tapping technique for ukulele

ukulelien · Apr 2, 2014

I made this tutorial to show how to do the style of percussive and tapping style that was first invented on the acoustic steel-string guitar by innovators like Preston Reed, Michael Hedges and Andy McKee.

this technique is used in my ukulele interpretation of Andy McKee's "drifting"

Very cool and generous of you to take the time to do this. I'm sure you got hundreds of requests for it after those pieces you posted.

Thanks! I wouldn't say hundreds, but enough that I thought it would be worth while. And I must admit that the reason i started playing uke like this was because Andy McKee himself put out a tutorial on how to play "Drifting" on guitar. I never thought i could play like him but when he slowed it down and took it piece by piece, it seemed very doable. I feel it's only right to pay it forward. The techique looks a lot scarier than it is, but like anything else, just takes practice.
