Bishop Allen - Butterfly Nets (Chords)
There are a couple of great ukulele tunes on Bishop Allen’s The Broken String album: Click, Click, Click, Click (which you can download on their website) and Butterfly Net.

strum-pattern-posts! strum-pattern-posts! strum-pattern-posts would be awesome!
Anna: I’ve added a bit to the post about the strumming pattern.
Chad and maduke: I’ll have to have a think about the strum pattern post. I mostly just do it on instinct. Make them up as I go along.
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome, Anna.
