Got my first Uke yesterday. I can't seem to figure out strumming. Does anyone have some specific advice beyond "use your finger"? If I use my index finger like the Uke Minutes shows, I find that I either snag on a string, or I just glide over and don't produce any sound. If I strum more along the fingernail (I've been trying my thumb and index together, think making the "OK" sign with your fingers then using the thumbnail up and down), I can get good volume and pretty consistant up and down, but there is a LOUD sound being produced by my nail basically picking at the strings as it passes over.
Is there a good video or pictures with closeups of strumming? Thanks!
P.S. Does anyone have skype that would like to chat it up, or maybe get into a chat so I can show how I am doing it?
