can you please tell me what kin of brand is that black ukulele? thank you.

[tafkam1]

It's a Lanikai!

if your learning a song like E Kuu Morning Dew that doesnt have much uke in it do you just try and mimic the voice with your ukulele?

[tafkam1]

yes! and since the chord progression is basically the same for both the verse and chorus, might want to try chord substitutions to spice it up

Dude You are the man; The Escavare of the Uke Just in case I'm saying it wrong I think Escavare is the QVC guy that sells his guitar and dvds to teach you in five minutes, what it takes everyone else a ka-zillion years to learn. Way to go, great stuff, I can't tell you enough how valuable this lesson was to me, it got me over that hump of knowing how to strum, and change chords, but not understanding when, where, why, or even more importantly what chords go together, great great great...

Greetings, Just wanted to say thanks for posting all the video. I really appreciate your time and talent. I watch them daily, they have helped me tremendously. I just got my first Uke at 50, I have played no other instrument ever. I think you should consider making some DVD's, I would be the first in line. You are a great teacher. If your thinking of posting more? Some more detailed strumming (slower example's), melody and rythm help would be appreciated.

Anyway, thanks for all you have done

Thank you for your generous sharing and taking the time to do so. You're lessons are easy to follow, and make a frustrating and confusing time MUCH easier. I wish you had a site that had them all on at once or a dvd. Thanks again!
