I'm working thorough Hal Leonards Intro Ukulele book and I'm learning several different strum patterns. I am trying to use some of these patterns to play chords, as I follow along with the sheet music. I am struggling to make it work rhythmically - it's sounding off right now.
It sounds wrong if I just keep doing the same strum for each measure, regardless of the notes. It works if it's four quarter notes, but not so much when when there are whole and half notes in the mix, or when there is more than one chord change per measure.
Gah! Really confused right now. If I am making sense it's a miracle! Basically how do you work various strum patters into sheet music, when all that is provided is chords and the music notes.
Thanks guys!
