DVD Reviews of Essential Strums for the Ukulele

DVD Review: Not what i was looking
Summary: 3 Stars

I expected it to teach more about how to strum well, like improvise and techiniqes to make it sound better.
Instead he just teaches different styles.

The one he uses normally when singing is called the normal strum. And its just too basic. Wish he had put more emphasis on that one.

DVD Review: Essential DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Ralph Shaw's a great teacher--this show and tell DVD demonstrates technique, so you can see how the strums are created as you play along.

DVD Review: For Both The Beginner And Those Who Are Ready To Progress
Summary: 5 Stars

"Never was and instructional video so well named, and such good value...
I would strongly recommend this video FOR BOTH THE BEGINNER AND THOSE WHO ARE READY TO PROGRESS beyond their basic strum.
---Susan C.W. Abbotson, The Ukulele Hall of Fame Museum
[from the back cover of the DVD-Video case]

DVD Review: Great instruction and lots of fun
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is great for anyone interested in learning to play different kinds of music. Ralph Shaw is a great teacher and he makes learning fun. I have definitely gotten better by playing along with this DVD. If you are a total beginner like me, you might also want to consider his other DVD The Complete Ukulele Course taught by Ralph Shaw.

DVD Review: Good fun strums
Summary: 4 Stars

This dvd shows some fun strums some easy some alot more advanced a little something for everyone.
A good dvd if you already have one of the beginner dvds.
