[markocchionero]

[rockabilly157]

Love the video. How do I get the tab?

[eniweni]

I LOVE THIS. but the tab link doesnt work anymore :(

[markocchionero]

@eniweni I am sorry for the broken link. i am in the throws of rearranging my website and simplifying. the other thing is that there has been a lot of traffic on my site which as exceeded my bandwidth for the month and I am too cheap to pay for the additional. e-mail me and i will send you the pdf....

[colormekristen]

@markocchionero Could I e-mail you for the tab as well? :-)

[Darasings1]

Very informative, very enjoyable! I got my son a uke for his birthday and since I'm a guitar player, I thought I'd "borrow" it and teach myself a little, too.

[MarkMichaels09]

It's tablature...not tablarature!

[HHuskies9]

beaut video man, makes me remember hawaii before it was killed by asain/american tourists

[LisaLoveMonster]

HOW THE HELL DOES HE SAID THAT SO COMFORTABLY?!

[ctmale1956]

Great stuff --- and thank you for sharing.....but -- I think "less-is-more" with music.....you have a nice voice so let your voice be the lead.

[markocchionero]

I hate my voice thank you. :)

[ctmale1956]

@markocchionero oh nooooooo you are very good........really.....thank you../...

[markocchionero]

this is a ukulele.

[hnksnw]

The bald head is a nice touch.

[francisstokesdotcom]

thank you so much for all the time you took to enlighten us. What an incredibly fun lesson for anybody starting out on the uke. Cheers!

[markocchionero]

glad i could be of help. keep playing keep watching.

[pete1030]

Thank you for that thoughtful, musical, and insightful exercise. I appreciate the time and care that it took. You have been generous to do this.

Pete

[markocchionero]

thanks pete, keep watching i will have a couple of more out there for your viewing pleasure. also check out some of my tab arrangements on my website jazzukes (dot) com.

[MangoDaVille]

Mahalo fo good kine song! Nice chords to color the progression. Little Grass Shack is one of the greatest hapa hapa-haole tunes ever. Nice to see you are taking the pains pronounce the Hawaiian words too. I have attached my steel version of the same, hope you enjoy! Johnny Pal of Mango DaVille

[markocchionero]

WOW I Appreciate that!

[Corrie121]

This is great!! Makes me want to go and buy a uke and learn its intricacies. Alas! I'm a little too long in the tooth for that now.

Your student's regard for your ability to instruct is patently obvious, and you must be proud of that.

Thank you for this most enjoyable posting. I have added it to my favourites.

[markocchionero]

ohhh come on and join the fun

[kirbycairo]

Thank you for being my Ukulele teacher! I just started but your advice is great and as soon as I have learned to apply your techniques (albeit in a more basic way) I am going to do a video reply to show you your (virtual) students are working hard. Then maybe someday I will deserve a Dasilva Uke!

Peace

Kirby

[markocchionero]

everyone deserves a DaSilva. The better the instrument the more enjoyable is your practice the more you practice the better you get. keep watching, take it bits at a time, make it your style (and not mine). Mahalo!

[hawaii8]

excellent brah!!

aloha from hawaii!

i wish i was on dat caliper already!!

your great brah keep em comin

[markocchionero]

[hawaii8]

you should try ama'ama or henehene kou'aka by iz! you'd do great

[Veralucy]

Bonito Marko!

Seems so easy...

Parece tão fácil!

[markocchionero]

ahhhh lucy

[Ikaru24]

Thats such a lovely song and ukulele ^^. Also thank you very much for the tabs and the teaching, I'm so bad a struming but with the tabs it might work out. thanks alot

[markocchionero]

best of luck. take it slow. learn it in segments as i indicate above.

[rhetrix]

Thanks so much. When I first watched your performance (great fun!), it seemed like magic, but now I am starting to understand the chord progressions. Your explanations of what you are doing when you play is invaluable--I will spend a lot of time with your other videos, Teacher!

[markocchionero]

i gave this lesson to a student yesterday. my approach is to take it in bits and pieces with him. look at song as elements within each the chord changes (designated by the chord box chart) that you can apply to other songs.

[markocchionero]

take only a 2 measure learning approach (say the B7 sequence) and learn that till you are comfortable with this theme. this sequence is applied in numerous places in the song and can be applied (within reason) in songs that you are playing today.

[markocchionero]

eventually all the pieces get put together and you can do the complete song.

[oldiesedit]

Thanks for the song...and the lesson! I'd be happy with just the song but the lesson is a bonus...admirable!

[markocchionero]

thanks this is one of my worst performances of this song. i needed to put it up rapidly to share with my student (no plural - damn). it was a one take performance and lesson. i'm glad you liked it. so again thank you

[edgrosso]

That was just great. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Too bad about the Tribe. As Manny Ramirez says, "There's always next year." Ed

[markocchionero]

yes it is not the end of the world.

[moustaki23]

Another great lesson, sir. Humbling, as usual. I'VE GOT PRACTICING TO DO!!!!!!

[markocchionero]

thanks, you can do it too. keep watching

[ready2uke]

[markocchionero]
