Playing the 12 Bar Blues on ukulele is fun, easy and super useful in so many different situations. In this tutorial, we'll break down the chords, strumming pattern and spend some time playing along together using dominant 7th chords. Get tuned up and let's get to it! -- Kevin

Thanks Kevin for your great tutorials on all the themes I am interested to learn about! You are my absolute favorite teacher. I like your tone, your rhythm, your content, your humour, your musicality! I am making great progress. Started to learn the ukulele 5 weeks ago. And I already am able to sing and play in the same time! And it sounds so nice!!! Thanks again!

I started learning the ukulele just over a year ago. Your videos were such a huge help in getting started with the fundamentals. I really appreciated your playlists on strumming and picking patterns. It wasn’t long before I picked up the baritone uke and this series has been great to learn about finger style technique. Thank you.

Hi Kevin, I'm following your lessons from here in New Zealand and am enjoying them. I have been involved in music for many years but have never learnt to read music and have learnt by "ear" or following other musicians. It's been an eye opener for me learning all the different terminologies and names of chords etc and I'm totally engrossed with trying to play catch up with my music which I should have taken up at a younger age. Thank you for your skills and dedication to the music industry and supporting those who are keen to learn and further their skills in music whether it be for professional reasons or self satisfaction and pleasure.

Hi Kevin. I'm loving your tutorials here at beautiful Jan Juc, just over the hill from from Bells Beach, Surf Coast Capital of Australia. I'd been trying to play uke unsuccesfully for a couple of years. We just played chords & sang [in a couple of groups] but with no idea of strumming patterns. During the C19 lockdown, I found your site. After about a month of practicing with you, I decided to subscribe, committing to improving & learning how to play better. I practice most days, repeating your tutorials a few times until I have some mastery & returning to different series that I have completed. I have bad osteoarthritis in my hands but my fingers are becoming more flexible with improved fine motor control. This is a huge bonus, I can tell you. I'd love you to present a few slower numbers, until my strumming proficiency improves enough to be capable of more speed. Ive introduced a number of people from Geelong & the Surf Coast Shire to your series, including my husband who needs more dedication to improve. We enjoy watching the birds outside your window. Stay safe & continue making this pandemic less horrible. Leonie

I have been playing for about 18 months and can’t believe I missed finding you and your offerings before this. You are both a talented player and a talented teacher. I will be passing this link onto other players in our group. Thanks for sharing.

Hey from Kentucky. This is fun and challenging! I’ve gone back to your video about muting in this type of strum pattern. My mind picked up the chord pattern easily, and it runs through my head all the time. And now although I have the island strum down for a year now, it’s a whole other thing to mute with my fret hand...while strumming. I’ve only known chucking with my strum hand. So slowly but surely these things will come together. That’s the fun, the challenge. It’s a great distraction in these times and I appreciate your sharing this with us! I love me some Stevie Ray Vaughn and I feel a little connection learning this!

In San Diego and love your tutorial. I just started playing but this is the first time I think I almost played a song. Fun to practice too. My first goal was to play the theme to Bob's Burgers (still working on it and fun too). If I can play the 12 Bar Blues with the walk downs and turnarounds I would be thrilled. Thanks for your tutorial. Once again, you proved what I always have said..."I've never met a person from Chicago that I didn't like."

I would give the world to learn how to play my ukulele like I sit down and play the piano - or similar to how people would play a classical guitar. Soooo many youtube channels on here that are great for chording and singing along, but I'd sure love to learn a finger picking style to simply sit down and enjoy just playing pretty songs on my ukulele. Do you offer that? (I'm looking for actual videos that teach how to play popular songs with finger picking...)
