This website is a compendium of ukulele (plucking hand) techniques and, as such, an online resource for teachers, composers and players. Techniques are presented as videos in real time and slow motion, along with short descriptions and a brief categorisation of the technique itself. The videos are organised along their historic origin and cross-referenced with other techniques where applicable.
Making this compendium wouldn’t have been possible without two groups of people who have selflessly helped me in this endeavor:
The artists, who have contributed their time and expertise, which made it possible for me to create the video motion studies and, deriving from that, the whole data set around playing technique.
The people from the ukulele community who have contributed to the crowdfunding for my research trip to Hawaii in November/December 2024. Without them the cost of this research trip would not have been affordable for me. While the full list of contributors can be accessed on www.experiment.com/ukulele, some have taken up my tongue in cheek offer to pay extra in order to become patrons for techniques.
