    Hey Krister, that’s awesome. I’m so happy to hear the site is helping you progress with your playing 🙂 As far as that song, it will be down this year at some point. It’s been requested countless times, so I will get to it soon. And, I’m looking forward to it, great song and I’m a huge fan of her brother Nick!

    Thanks guys, I added them to my request list. I’m going to be working on developing more of a format for weekly lessons this year. For example:

    Week 1 – fingerstyle arr. of popular tune
    week 2 – concept lesson

    etc… This should help add variety and give me more time to prepare for the more complex arrangements.

    Great question! That song only plays that high for the last few notes. You can play that section down an octave (3rd, 4th and 6th fret) instead of 15, 16 and 18. Basically subtracting 12 frets.

    Most songs on this site do not move beyond the 15th fret as it’s just too hard to reach higher with the body blocking hand movement beyond the 15th fret.

    Hey Keithy, great post! I’ll check out Astraluna. Funny, I just sent a list of some of my fav female uke artists to a friend yesterday. Here is the list I sent:

    Danielle ate the sandwich – singer/songwriter

    Original on uke:

    Her newest original music video did very well:

    —-

    Taimane – My fav uke artists. Amazing player.

    TEDx Talk – just playing in the beginning:

    Original music video:

    —-

    Victoria Vox – Great musician overall. Kills at mouth trumpet! Fun fact, she went to Berklee with John Mayer and he wrote “Victoria” about her.

    Original:

    —-

    Sarah Maisel – The most traditionally trained on this list – jazzy. She’s great.

    How High the Moon:

    —-

    Olivia Millerschin: Always playing a uke, but I don’t see her much in uke community. I think she’s fantastic, she’s selling out concerts for her new cd. This song is on it, great duet.

    After months of hard work, I’m happy to say that The Definitive Beginner’s Guide to Ukulele launches today! This is a comprehensive course featuring over 25+ lessons covering everything from learning to hold the ukulele to playing your first songs!

    This course was written with two people in mind:

    1) The Absolute Beginner – Someone who just purchased an ukulele and is beginning their uke playing journey!
    2) The Intermediate Player – Someone who has played for awhile, but wants a recap of the fundamentals to make sure they haven’t missed anything critical that could slow down their development.

    Click the book below to check out the course!

    Why did you give up on Aquila? They are my favorite strings. I didn’t care for Martin, they lost their tone too fast… you know that “dull” sound. I don’t get that with Aquila.
