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
