How to Find Your Ukulele Superpower!
Live Lessons EP080 – Published July 24, 2025
In this session, Matt will help you discover what you do best, or what you enjoy most, when it comes to learning, practicing, and playing ukulele. The inspiration for this topic comes from a masterclass video clip with virtuoso guitarist Steve Vai where he said:
“I don’t work on my weaknesses. I ignore them. I cultivate my strengths.”
Here’s what he meant. Vai explains that when he was younger, he realized he didn’t need to be good at everything. Instead of trying to be a jack-of-all-trades, he chose to double down on what made him unique as a player: his phrasing, note choices, creative expression, and feel, rather than trying to master things he wasn’t naturally drawn to.
