I've been watching Gerald Ross and a number of swing uke and guitar videos, trying to master a swing strum, but I'm not getting that nice pulsing rhythm thing going yet.
I can't make a video to demonstrate the problem, so I'll try to use words. Rather than bum, bum, bum, bum, I get a wow, wow, wow sound of the chords sort of coming in and out of play. Does that make sense?
Any tips? Should I pressing down AS I strum and then muting once the strum is complete? Is it press chords then strum then let up? Am I hopeless? (don't answer that one.)
