Learning to play the Ukulele is FAR easier than it was learning to play the Bass. I like the way you explain how. Easy to follow, easier to retain knowledge. Thank you for making learning fun and easy.
The harmonics coming from your nails almost make it sound like you're playing a harp or something. Sounds beautiful! Great explanations of the techniques too. Thanks!
Somewhat helpful? Dude... It was one of the most informative strumming videos on youtube I came across and believe me, I've been seaaaarching. Thank you!
Awesome! I am a violinist but we have a ukelele at home and I had a go at it... after all it's also 4 strings :) And I like it a lot. Any other violin/fiddle players trying the ukelele?
Thank you for sharing your talent in both playing and teaching!!!! I love your attention to detail in the strum and technique. It shows the love you have for music!!!!
I watched this vid 3 years ago. I didn’t get it. Two weeks ago, it popped up on my feed and I watched it again… and OH MY! I got it Brah! Your video has opened up my ukuleles tone! I almost sound like I know what I’m doing! Mahalo! 🤙🌴
Great video, all techniques well explained. I foolishly assumed my strumming technique for the guitar would translate over to the ukulele perfectly but always wondered why it didn’t quite sound right. Thanks!
awesome man , should be getting my uke tomorrow , can't wait, I have always just kind of toyed with the guitar , but have developed something that causes my hand to draw up alot. hopefully, the uke will be an easier play. Manolo!
Hey,can you make a video about your right hand nails? I used all my natural nail... It's hurting me. As long as I'm a girl I never put acrylic nails... Can you give advice about the right shape? The best material? (I heard about acrylic) You are great teacher. Thanks for that vid!
HawaiiMusicSchool this video has been one of the best I’ve watched. I learned a lot. I just started learning the ukulele and am loving every minute of it! Thank you for an awesome video to help with the process ✌️💚

How would I substitute if my right hand ring finger and pinky tendons are cut. I use three and it sounds amazing but I can tell with all five is the way
Thank you, very informative! I’m a newbie on the uke, having trouble with my G and G7 chords. I can’t get them without taking a lot of time placing my fingers, so there’s a lag on anything I play. Any advice? Mahalo!
Aloha! This is a lot so I apologize in advance. I have a question about the two-finger strum or double strum. I can do the technique and I'm happy with my results so far but every video I watch says to use the index finger as the main finger for strumming. I find it more comfortable to use my middle finger instead. Do I need to break this habit or is that okay? I also strum down with my middle finger, down with my thumb, and then back up with my thumb. So it's all wrong haha but it sounds okay. Love the videos by the way.
You can do whatever that you are comfortable with but for me i used to go down with my thumb and up with my index, it's okay but when you need to do faster strumming or certain strumming patterns that require a little more speed it's hard to do it with two fingers but if you can mange that then bravo and keep playing.
We're going to clamp a melodica to ukelele so MelodicaLeLe - Can we string our Ukelele with fishing line and eat raw fish we need a yacht and like a sabiki rig some yellowtail?
If it's hurting on your strumming hand, try using the back of your nail to strum down, and the flesh of your finger to strum up. Make sure not to use the side of your finger, as that can be painful.
Iv been playing guitar for a little move 10 years and I just ordered a sapele ukulele the bird and flower design do u know if it is a suitable uke to learn on as far as holding tune and sounding decent at least didn't want to spend a lot of money. And not being able to transition between the 2
worst Aloha! I'm not familiar with a Sapele Ukulele with a bird and flower, but I've seen two that look identical. Zebra and Irin. Looks like decent quality, but I couldn't give a fair assessment without playing one. Although both ukuleles were sopranos... I, as a guitar player myself, prefer the Tenor size... Just feels more substantial I guess. Good thing is it'll make you a better guitarist if you learn the overlap!
