Next week’s lesson will be a “seasoned” beginners piece. Not as hard as most of level 1, but a step up from the beginner series 🙂 I think a lot of people are going to really enjoy it!
Hey guys, Wiktor (vissttoor) sent me a picture of his new CloudMusic ukulele that he won! It’s beautiful, congrats! Fun fact, he lives in Poland 🙂 Remember guys, these challenges are open to the entire world!
Big announcement coming tomorrow about our May challenge, stay tuned!
Sure thing guys, I added both of these to my request list 🙂 And Coldplay is on my to-do list for sure!
Unfortunately, our first winner ukuleleloo has been MIA. After reaching out to her 3 times without response, I have decided to select a new winner. I will be adding a rule to the next challenge, in that the winner must respond in 1 weeks time, or a new winner will be selected.
On a positive note, our new winner for the pineapple ukulele is… ** Drum Roll **
Congrats Twizzler!
Pics from all 3 winners with their new ukuleles will be posted here soon 🙂

P.S. I’ve been working on our next challenge and there will be a very fun surprise! I can’t give it away yet, but you guys will love it! Next challenge runs the entire month of May 2017 🙂
Hey Vinny! Glad to have you on board! Congrats on the first part of that tune 🙂 If you need any help, post here or email me. I’m here to help!
Welcome Scott! This Friday’s lesson will be right up your alley – it’s episode 5 in our Concepts Lessons series and has a lot of guitar friendly technique in it 🙂
You’re too kind Kit! I opted against letting members leave comments on lessons b/c it leaves the page looking cleaner and simpler. ST is right, please post here 🙂 I check every post!
Lol, no – but you are onto something. I can’t give it away yet, but there will also be a very fun twist with the upcoming challenge. Details coming middle of this month 🙂
I used to watch WWE as a kid too 🙂 Funny thing was I thought it was real, until one day a dude jumped on another dudes head, but the camera showed he was a mile away and yet the other guy acted like it hurt lol!
I’ll add this to my request list Shashank!
So I’m behind on feedback – as we had 10+ submission on the last day – waiting till the last minute, come on guys, lol joking! 😉

jobyer – great job, keep up the good work!
kala_uke – Always amazing to see someone tackle #2 – it’s a toughie! You did very well! I would recommend to slow the tempo down a bit to focus on the timing and transitioning from one section to another.
argonite – very nice! My only suggestion is to watch the timing on that open G string – as it is a half note.
sebastian – fantastic, keep it up!
sifkek – very well played! Great job!
yukalele – Awesome job for your first time! I don’t believe you lol 🙂 It looked like the uke slipped once – this lesson may help to better stabilize it if you’ve noticed that’s an issue.
kktisk – Great playing!
4753173 – lovely! Similar to kala_uke, I would recommend to slow the tempo down a bit to focus on the timing and transitioning from one section to another.
hyzenthlay – Awesome! I would recommend to work on the B melody transitions. Try 1 or 2 bars at a time, work on getting the muscle memory down for the chord shapes and then practice putting it together 🙂
vissttoor – Very nice! Couple suggestions, watch your timing as some sections “speed up”. Also, I would try to fingerpick with a lighter attack. Give that a shot and see if it makes the uke sound “sweeter”.
mrfrimm – love the intro! You did awesome! I would suggest to correct the right hand wrist, as it looks like you pick/pluck from an awkward/bent angle. Check out this lesson for some tips on right hand form.

Thanks again to all who participated! You guys rock!
