Hey UU!
I have been absorbing a wealth of knowledge about playing the Ukulele for the past few days, but one thing I can't quite seem to get the hang of is strumming. I have read about and seen multiple ways, but find the classic "index finger" method to sound the best. Which is all fine and well, but I can't seem to pull it off. String instruments are new to me, so I have not had any experiences to aid me in the matter. The problem I am having is my finger getting caught on both down and upstrokes by the first string to be hit, respectively. But if I raise my finger any higher away from the strings, I don't even hit them. Has anyone else experienced this, or had similar problems? Anyone know of a video or guide that they found especially helpful when they were first starting? Thanks a lot for your help and advice.
