WE HAVE A WINNER! Congrats to kathyk19 who guessed correctly, Stray Cats! Love them! I’ve seen Brian Setzer twice and this summer he’s coming to town with his Rockabilly tour. I AM SO PUMPED for this show!
I’ll send ya an email and get this uke out to you! Thanks to all who guessed, this was fun! Shoutouts to those who guessed Dokken and RATT. 2 of my favs! I’ll leave ya with a Stray Cats hit if you’ve never heard ’em 🙂
Dude Harold, wow! That was amazing! SO, SO, SO AWESOME! I sent it to Stephen too, he loved it. I’ll see if I can get him on here to leave ya a few pointers on his tune 🙂
Hi Amy, I usually refer everyone over to Mike at Uke Republic for help with choosing your next ukulele. He’ll know about all these different models and will definitely be able to help you. Tell him I sent ya! 🙂
Hi Mick, in english these are known as “harmonics”. I’ve yet to make a stand-alone lesson on them, as we usually cover it when it occurs in an arrangement. In the meantime, here is an extra lesson I made for another premium member on how to do them. Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
Actually, I have been in PT since May of last year. It has helped a lot! And before that, I had seen doctors, hand surgeons, etc… none of which were helpful until I met my current PT. Things are much better these days, still a long road to go. Thanks for all the links and the kind words!
Vaibhav, way to go! You are rocking for such a short time of playing, bravo! I hope your pain subsides, I know all too well about repetitive stain injury and struggle with pain everyday 🙁 Hopeful that one day it will end!
Keep playing and sharing! I look forward to your next video!
Wow! This month’s challenge was so much fun 🙂 It’s always a blast to rock the blues on the uke! Overall we had 22 members participate. I absolutely loved watching everyone’s performances! Bravo to everyone who participated! Below, I have left feedback for those who submitted at the end of yesterday.
But before we get there, we have to announce the winner of this month’s challenge!

Tony – excellent playing! The only thing I can suggest for you is to try to lighten up your playing a little bit. If we push too hard, for example on a pull-off or regular single note, it will cause the note to go sharp. And a lighter touch will produce a sweeter tone. Give that a shot and let me know if you hear a difference.

nobukofogarty – that was lovely! You have great feel in your playing, keep up the good work and don’t worry too much, we all get nervous in front of the camera 🙂

Ben, way to go! It’s always inspiring to see you perform 🙂 2 tips, try to memorize the piece, which will allow you to focus more so on your performance. And second, don’t be afraid to use your pinky. It’s our weakest finger, which makes a lot of people omit it from their playing, but using it will make your playing easier and more efficient. Keep rocking!
LOL 4:43-4:45 is the best part 🙂 Seriously though, this is a true testament to the fact that practice and dedication gets results! Fantastic work Machie! I’ll def be sharing this on our Facebook page!
