In this ukulele lesson, we will learn the number one most popular percussive technique:
The thumb slap technique. With the thumb slap technique, we “slap” the string with the left side of the thumb to create a mild percussive sound that adds a lot of rhythm to the chord progression.
This percussive technique can be used on the guitar, ukulele, and bass.
It works extremely well on the ukulele because it adds a simple yet effective rhythmic feel.
Enjoy the lesson!
