Hi to all! I consider myself a beginner, but I discovered a thing on my way of playing. I play strumming only with my index finger, angled at 90 degrees, i.e. pointing at my chest while the other fingers are forming a loose fist. I keep my nails very short trimmed. Only the tip of my index finger touches the strings. As a result, I have a very clean sound in both directions, up and down, with no "nail" sound. I hope that this could be of some usage for somebody. Am I discovering the "Hot water" again? All the best from the green island, and keep on strumming!

Hi Julie, well, as I was saying, "Hot Water" again! I didn't know it was a popular way of playing, but I'm glad I'm not doing something unusual. Thank you. All the Best! Tani

There's nothing wrong with being unusual. Variety is the spice of life Regards, Julie Strietelmeier http://ukulelereview.com
