Friendly Reminder – The deadline for receiving an entry into the giveaway is tonight at 11:59 PM ET (check your local time zone).
Thanks y’all!
Joe, I def agree. Having the visual helps you keep track of where you are at in the count 🙂
@uke_andi – What a fantastic first post, Andi! Great playing! I’m gonna share your performance in our newsletter tomorrow 🙂
@darktoto – Beautifully played and love the face paint!
Rachael, we might make another course in this style. But for now, if you want to work on classical music, I’d jump into the Classical Technique & Style Course.
For Pathways, the song titles are shown in the beige progress bar at the top of each lesson.
Glad to hear you are excited about the new course 🙂
Welcome Howard! Glad to have you here with us 🙂
I’d jump into our Fingerpicking Course. It teaches three ways to fingerpick.
Yesterday, we released our new course called Pathways. It teaches ukulele through songs and would be a could companion course to take alongside the other one.
I’d also recommend taking a look at Learning Paths. It’ll give you a few more ideas on where to start and what to work on.
If you ever need help on the lessons, please don’t hesitate to post questions on the forum, or feel free to email me directly.
@annyuke – @misterbones is spot on, for 5 months your playing is outstanding! Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working!
And the only mistake I hear is measure 11, the first double stop (2 note pluck) should last a quarter note, not an 8th.
The easiest change would be to play it as a regular open A string 🙂
And if you need help with the tapping technique, check this lesson from our Harmonics Course.
@misterbones – Bravo, beautifully played 👏
@brettboy – They are both so different from one another that it’s hard to choose 😂
Kemp’s, overall, is def easier to play. Maybe it just comes down to if you want to play a beautiful love song or a fun, bouncy jig.
Wow! 45 members joined us for this month’s challenge! A BIG thanks to each of you who participated and bravo on a job well done!
Our June Challenge is LIVE and the theme is: Music from Around the World! I hope each of you joins us again.
Below, I will post a list of members who participated in the May challenge for your second chance to win the Kanile’a Ukulele. Please let me know if there are any discrepancies.

sarahd@annyuke – Both melodies were beautifully played. Well done! 👏
@mysticrick – It sounds amazing with the effects!
@janaq1 – I remember having to practice a ton for this tune to get the timing steady. It’s def tricky. Foot tapping is the best way to get a more natural feel, which you got!
@monika101 – The interesting thing about a performance that takes 1,000 takes is that each take gives you an opportunity to listen back and to refine your performance. Which it sounds like you did, because I hear nothing to critic. It was very well played!Try recording your practices. That way you can refine it as you practice instead of on the day of recording. That’s a tip that I myself should follow more 😂
