Hi I'm kinda new to playing the ukulele and I've been strumming with a pick, but I want to learn how to strum with my hand because it doesn't sound as good with a pick. Does anybody have any tips for strumming?? Please reply quick!!

I usually like to use my index finger for strumming. But some people even use their middle finger. It's all personal preference. But most people I know use their index finger. It might make your finger sort of raw for the first week, but after that week it won't bother you at all.
Hope this helped!

Sincerely,
Bobby

Agreed! Personally I tend to use my middle finger for the down strums and the top of my thumb for the up ones.
