Glad it was helpful Mort! Here’s where I would start:
Major
Minor
Major Pentatonic
Minor Pentatonic
BluesWe cover Major and pentatonic in our course on An Introduction to Music Theory & Jamming.
Hi Tony, glad you enjoyed the new lesson! Let’s knock these questions out 🙂
1) Yes, can mix and match as you please. It really comes down to creating a pulse with the vibrato that will match the music that you are playing. I’d encourage you to experiment to see what kind of dynamic you could create with your vibrato(s).
2) The movement is all in the fingertip, but as that is attached to everything else, there will also be movement in the wrist.
Yep, same thing 🙂 try to keep the hand in a claw for the slap, should make it much easier to get back to strumming since it’s a fast piece.
Wow! This is amazing to see so many posts come in today 🙂 I’m looking forward to going through and watching everyones! Most likely will be this weekend, as I seem to have bitten off more than I can chew for this weeks lesson, LOL.
Friday’s lessons goes VERY in-depth into vibrato! Hope you guys dig it 🙂
Hi ME, thank you so much for the kind words 🙂 I’m happy that you have joined our community!
Actually, that song should work really well for low G. I just looked over it and I’m not seeing anything that would clash or sound weird. I’m actually planning to introduce low G lessons this year. We sent out a survey at the end of last year and there was a big demand for low G lessons. So I’m really looking forward to jumping into that.
It’s hard for me to say when it’s going to happen, because honestly I had planned to introduce it in October and here we are knocking on February’s door. Soon hopefully!
Vida, wow! Incredible progress on the overall feel of the piece. Notes are sustaining and flowing into one another. Very beautiful performance.
As far as your comments on the course material and speed… The thing with speed is that it takes time to develop. It could be months or it could be years. Don’t worry about trying to match the target rate speed, instead focus on playing cleanly at a certain tempo rate and gradually working to increase it. Keep up the good work, you have a great practice routine!
Beautiful playing Alastair! Here are some tips to help ya out with that chord transition. Let me know if you have any questions 🙂
Hi Lisa, sorry for the delay! Here is a video to help ya out. Hopefully it makes sense, I’m super tired today. Let me know if you have any questions 🙂
Good question! The trick is to apply an even amount of pressure from behind with the thumb (as you noticed, in the middle of the neck) and in the front with the partially barred ring finger. This will help to keep the neck steady. Furthermore, make sure you are holding the ukulele properly and using form 1. Also, read over form 3 to get a better understanding of why it’s important to apply an even amount of pressure.
Give this a shot and let me know how it goes 🙂
Welcome Mort! Yes! Here is a video showing you how to activate a click count.
Great suggestion! I just added a speed control feature for all premium lesson videos. Click the “cog” and you’ll see the option to change the speed there.
I’ll be sharing your video on our Facebook Page tomorrow Robin. Really great job!
No worries Tessa, post what you can 🙂 Hope you feel better soon!

That was awesome Robin! You’ve been practicing. I’m impressed! Very clean (non-buttery, lol) playing! 🙂
