Hawaiian on ukulele

Hawaiian on ukulele: the strumming patterns “chalangalang” and “contemporary (D-DU-UD)”, in 4/4, each with audio on its own page. On the ukulele a chord progression turns into a light, chiming strum: four strings, compact shapes and a bright voice that floats above the song rather than weighing it down.

Breeze, ocean and late afternoon: Hawaiian music sounds like an invitation to slow down, with gentle melodies and a soft sway that soothes rather than stirs. This page gathers the style's strumming patterns — that is, the light touch figures that create its island mood.
