In this ukulele lesson, we will learn the 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!

Learning these melodies is so much more fun than just strumming songs on the ukulele. Love the way you go from beginner level to something higher gradually so everyone can get it at their own pace and not feel overwhelmed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wow! Next level!!! My ukulele has a wound low g string so when I slap it it makes a tang sound that just doesn't sound good, but doing a little palm mute on the low g and a thumb slap at the same time sounds so good! Thanks you much for this.

Thank you for the lesson! It is hard to find something like this for ukulele. I really would like to learn this technique. I´m little hard time to understand it thou. Should the string touch the fret while I slap it? It also seems really unstable position to the thumb to rest on the string. Can I do the slap above the fretboard, in this case the thumb is more stable but also touches fretboard and creates different sound of percussion?

Ha, I hit that G string with my thumb and it stops sounding. There is no thump sound. If I hit it harder, it rings again. What kind of ukulele do you have? What kind of strings? I need a new one, should get a good one. I get the rhythm, I like learning a new technique, but can’t get that g string to make any sound when hit. In my playing it is a rest count because of it. It just doesn’t sound on my uke. Good lesson.
