Daniel,
It was good to see you post. I was wondering if you had read this thread or not.
When you were talking about rythm, it reminded me of what my teacher has explained to us many times as we trained. Often times people get into rythm of 1, 2, 3, etc. Sometimes, depending on the flow, we try to move in a 1, 1.5 rythm, a sort of half beat. This can be visualized by a circular movement that gets cut at 90 degrees. It is VERY VERY hard to put this in words, but essentially the uke feels like they are going one way and then all of a sudden the bottom drops out, so to speak. It is a pre-emptive type of movement, more specifically it messes up the rythm for the uke, they immediately become out of sync. It is always fun to work on that.
Good to see you online. Great post!
