Bravo Lisa! I dig the volume accents you put into it. You are really improving, it’s amazing to hear your progress 🙂 Keep up the good work!
Benjamin, you and your sister rock! You’ve got a bright future ahead of you 🙂 And that is so sweet of you to play for your cousin, she’ll be in my prayers.
Here is a video of Benjamin jamming with his sis! Love it!
Actually, I just helped a member privately with a question about moving from Form 1 to 2. She was working on the last performance piece from the beginner’s course. Here was her questions, maybe it might be helpful for you. If not, please post a video with what you are working on specifically and I’d be happy to review it and offer tips.

I’m a massive fan of your page, and I have been going through your beginner course which has helped me to improve massively. However, I am struggling with one thing, and that is to with the intermediate strum and fingerpick lesson (last lesson of the beginner course); how are you able to switch between form 1 and form 2 so easily with your left hand?
From bar 4-5 and on bar 13 (outro). It looks like you switch from form 2 to form 1, but I can’t quite manage to do it as smoothly as you do.

My response:
Wow! You guys really delivered! We received 144 questions for Taimane; 5 of which were selected by random and answered by her! Sit back and get comfy as we dive into the mind of an ukulele virtuoso.
Be sure to leave a comment below for Taimane for the chance to WIN this signed Kala KA-15s Ukulele + “We Are Made of Stars” CD!
Sure do! Understanding rhythmic notation is vital to playing in time. So, I would start with that lesson. Furthermore, you can set all of our on-screen tab viewers to “synthetic” mode. In this mode, you can activate the metronome and play along with the tab player, which in-turn acts as a guide. To do this, refer to the second video on this page and jump 6 minutes into it.
Start with an easy rhythmic song, such as: Our First Song. Count the rhythm out loud as you play the song.
Keep me in the loop with how you are doing 🙂
Big thanks to everyone who asked Taimane a question! We’ll be releasing the Q&A video and revealing the signed ukulele + CD winner this Friday, November 17th. Stay tuned!
Wow classicuke, that was fantastic! You have a great feel to your playing! Notes are clean and timing is great, keep up the good work!
They are much better if you are sitting down to play. The straight ones are really uncomfortable unless you are only standing up to play.
Hi Cyberloh, Roland makes great amps. I own a Roland and used it for vocals/playing backing tracks at gigs. But, I have a recommendation for you. I also own the Fishman Loudbox mini. This is a fantastic acoustic and vocal amp. It’s kind of like the gold standard: It’s affordable and highly popular. I’d recommend this for you.
