The future of the ukulele seems very bright, but unfortunately, not so much for humans. You see, there’s evidence that some ukuleles have spontaneously been sprouting eyes and gaining AI-level sentience and can write their own music now – on themselves. Through string theory and other “math,” they are using the songs they create to decode the mysteries of the universe beyond human comprehension…
I clearly don’t know what string theory is, but oh my gosh that’s a good pun actually. 😅
For reals, I do think the future of the ukulele is bright because of the great uke players, teachers, and passionate students of ukulele that we have now, especially the youngling uke players, like the ones on RC101. 😊
That is so funny @the_bumble_bard 🤣🤣🤣
I know one thing about the future of ukulele. It will be in mine for as long as possible 🥰🥰🥰
@gi_gi_, haha!! So glad you find it funny. 😅😂😅 I was going to bring up the idea of Ukulele-Based Cloning and the Drewmpa Loompas again, but it’s good to mix it up sometimes. Because obviously UBC is part of the ukulele’s future, as well. 😂😅
That’s so presh! So true. The ukulele will be in my future as long as possible, too. 😊💕
@the_Bumble_Bard lol the UBC…..I’m just seeing this.
Hi Andrew, I am a new rock class 101 member. I’m not seeing the video from yesterdays forum on the future of the ukulele I’m still figuring out your webpage navigation, Thankyou!
Julie SHi Julie, I usually release it the day after the broadcast for folks who couldn’t tune in live. I’m working on it right now actually, so it’ll be out shortly 🙂
You can find it by clicking free lessons in the main menu and then click “Live Lessons Library” in the blue banner at the top of that page.
P.S. You may want to check out the second video on this page. It provides a full rundown on how to navigate the site.
This may have been my favorite ‘Live Lesson’ yet……it was inspiring….thank-you Matt…..Also, where can I find that ukulele rendition of 5 foot 2?
Matt has a version on the UU YouTube channel, but I’m not sure if it’s the same as what he played in this video.
