I just bought Uku, the ukulele vst with the built in strumming engine. I wonder, has anyone who has it figured out the strumming pattern to Izzie’s “Somewhere over the rainbow?” I’d be grateful for any help.

I bought a ukulele last week and that was the first video I looked at

Have you tried UKU the vst? It was on special so I grabbed it. I love Izzies’s version of that old Judy Garland song. Just one uke and a beautiful voice. I was so impressed when I first heard Izzie singing it, I bought his CD. The YT clip of the song where they pour his ashes out into the harbour in Hawaii is very moving. Pity his life was so short.

No, I did not even know Uku exists.
But my baritone uke is for live only, in my own picking style.

Heh, I live in Hawaii and don't own an ukulele, tho they are ubiquitous here.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't want one that costs less than $2k probably. That
comes from playing with my buddies Kamaka ukulele...
