This'll give you a country or bluegrass feel...
It's called the bum-ditty because it sounds like Bum-Ditty when it's played properly - see video below😎!
Who needs a banjo - not you?
Play a SLICK BUM-DITTY and strum!
This is an easy way to spice up any song. It can be used with any song in 4/4 time.
Start very slow - speed up when you get it down.
WACTH:
Here you can emulate the cool sound you hear the bluegrass players play with the banjo (or the guitar)!
This'll sound just like that famous Pete Seeger Bum-ditty banjo lick!
Start slow - this is not easy - may look easy - it's not...
The thumb is used to pluck the C string on beat 1 and the G string on beat 3
What we have here is an alternating bass pattern, meaning the bass note alternates between two notes, popular in country, folk, bluegrass and other styles.
For the down-strums on beats 2 & 4 use your 1st and 2nd fingers or your 1st 2nd and 3rd fingers together and strum downward with a very relaxed motion. You can strum strings 1, 2 and 3 for the down strums as well rather than all of them...
For the up-strums (right after the down strums on the &'s) use your 1st and 2nd fingers or your 1st 2nd and 3rd fingers together and with a very relaxed motion and strum upwards - YOU DONT NEED TO STRUM ALL THE STRINGS on the up-strums. 1, 2 or 3 strings is fine.
Can be use for high or low G - doesn't matter...
This strum will sound great for any song in 4/4 time.
This will have that bum-ditty sound but is it the easy version of a bum-ditty - stay tuned for others... (they're not easy at all - so this'll be a good one to know)

The LAST UKULELE CHORDBOOK
Every chord comes from 5 different chord shapes!
These are called the CAGED shapes...
This will be you last chord book because I show you exactly how to create any chord from the 5 CAGED shapes (don't worry - I'll teach you the 5 CAGED shapes first), so you'll be able to easily create any chord you need.
Many chord books are useless because you have a whole bunch of beautiful chords but you don't know how to use them.
Not this one - After you complete this book and the homework assignments in each section - you will be able to create and use ALL the chords in progressions and as substitutes!
