The Figure Eight Stroke is a classic show stroke used by Roy Smeck. Technically different registers of the ukulele are producing a sound difference between the first sDI.sUI and the second sDI.sUI. However, in this case this is hard to distinguish to due to the high speed.
Dr. John McGrath supported the documentation of this technique by supporting the Crowdfunding in July 2024.
