is there an easier way to do it? ive tried two ways so far.
the first way was to just rest my fingertips on the strings with my left hand while my strumming hand strummed the deadened strings. that didnt work all the time because of the play on my ukes is so low and the lack of feeling in my fingertips. i always ended up lightly pressing the string down and notes would ring out.
the other way, and the one i have been using more often, is to just leave my left hand alone, and basically a split second before strumming, the heel of my right palm touches the strings, deadening them. this has worked the best for me, but it is neither consistent nor clean enough for my taste.
basically im thinking there has to be a better way. what's the secret? how do you do a chunk?
