That is beautiful. I haven't got an actual need for a strumming Uke/Banjo/Guitar. I just wanted to know how to make 'em strum.

That is just a guitar strum from one of the earlier PSR blue grass styles. I put it into a polka style and then changed its voice to the Uke and then the Banjo.

Hey Alan, I know thiis is an old post but I've been looking at this as wanting to do a cover of Over The Rainbow by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole.
The best solution I've found is to use the FlamencoGtr Multipads with any 4/4 85bpm style but turning the style instruments either down or off.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much. It works a treat. How did you come up with that? Is it what you were looking for, or did the sound of this multipad suggest ukulele and you remembered this thread?

Inspired.

I do a lot of style editing and despite speeding them up and cutting out all instruments except guitar, even converting piano parts to guitar, I just couldn't find anything that sounded right. I'm still searching forr a decent Uke voice but until then, I'll adjust the guitars to a flat, tinny sound ;)

While looking for a Ukelele voice, I found your thread :
