This ukulele arrangement combines 3 main strumming patterns including the Calypso strum, Chuck strum and the Half chuck strum.
It's a good idea to practice each of the strumming patterns independently before attempting to put them together. Combining strumming patterns can really boost the sound of your playing giving a more professional sound. There is a little ornamental slide between each verse from the c to fret no5 on the A string and back.
