The “Island Strum” for Ukulele

I asked ChatGPT for a description of the “Island Strum” for Ukulele. This is what I got:
“The Ukulele Island Strum is a fun, upbeat strumming pattern commonly used in tropical, Hawaiian-style music and many beginner ukulele songs. The classic Island Strum follows this pattern:
Down – Down-Up – Up-Down-Up
(or written as: D – D U – U D U)

Breakdown:
1st beat: Down strum (D)
2nd beat: Down-Up (D U)
3rd beat: (pause) Up (U)
4th beat: Down-Up (D U)

This strum fits in 4/4 time and gives a bouncy, syncopated feel that’s perfect for many pop, reggae, or traditional Hawaiian songs.

Tip:
To get the rhythm right, try saying it aloud while strumming:
‘Down… Down-Up… Up-Down-Up'”
Here is my demonstration:
