At 80yr old just got a uku and found this video. You are a good teacher. Thank you.

At the age of 72 I have been playing the "mighty Uke" for just over a year. The clubs I have been attending don't seem to progress other than basic strumming patterns of the George Formby style and become monotonous, with most songs sounding the same and no further than a few basic chords, up to the fourth fret. Whilst it makes great fun for a Karaoke style "sing-a-long", I haven't really learnt much, that is, until I found your fabulous videos. After learning the moveable Pentatonic scales, I find I am now improvising and actually finger picking with greater confidence. Thank you for posting these valuable Tutorials.

I kept hearing other people's ukuleles sounding different from mine and couldn't figure out what they were doing. This is so helpful! It really makes it much more fun than just playing those straight chords like I've been playing. Thanks so much!

I've watched this video scores of times. Having played uke for about four years, I was surprised to learn how much fun and versatile "dressing up" a song can be. Love the "turn arounds" which I'm still truing to master. Thanks!

Definitely one of the best videos I've seen. I really like your sound and have been playing this non stop. Thank you.

Thank you so much. That was great. I too, as previous poster, am now in my seventies (turned 70 this week) and am wanting to advance past basic stuff. I have made notes of everything and will be trying to get this down pat. Greetings from Australia.

Thank you, love the blues on the ukulele. This will be fun to practice on mine.

John, thank you sooo much! I am a real beginner and enjoyed blues guitar years ago, and just picked up the uke. I studied this video and really enjoyed the simple fun on the frets making cool blues music. Honestly I was bored with basic strumming and this was the motivation I was looking for to get my heart and passion into this new instrument.

Haven't touched my Uke for some time...searched on youtube, found your video and I am hooked! Great to follow and play along. Thanks and keep the videos coming!

This is a wonderful blues-ukulele tutorial! You've really shown some great stuff here. Thank you!

Dude, this is the perfect intro to the uke blues video I've seen. Bravo sir!

perfect way of teaching. fantastic tutorial

To play along with you is magical feel like a real pro.

Bless you for making this ukulele sooo much more fun - thanks

Thanks - a great help in getting started on playing blues and your tips to liven things up should make a big difference. Glad I landed on this tutorial !

You explained turn-around very clear this time. I will practice all shown until I am comfortable. Thanks for taking the time to help this old man with disabilities to find more enjoyment in my practice.John

Really great stuff John, you make it enjoyable and easy to understand,thank you so much.

I have just bought a eukulele and have been looking for tutorials to get me going. I love this one. Great to be able to play something. Very relaxed teaching style that you can follow. I will be looking at the other tutorials. Thank you John.

Thank you SO much. I am enjoying learning this. You are an excellent teacher!

For newer UKE players, this is a fabulous lead-in to learning the blues!

Ah amazing, John Thank you! I was strumming out chord patterns - this brings real heart to my Uke - Thanks again, that's a really nice "turnaround" in your vid!

Thank you so much for making your videos so easy to understand! Please share more and more with us!

Just saw you today, my spouse and I and we really "GET" your teaching style!!! Gonna go to your web page now, and are really hoping that you have lots more for us!!! YOUR the BEST! From Newbie Ukers

Love your teaching style. I'm having so much fun with my quarantini ukulele

Wonderful lesson John. You're still a great teacher, which I discovered many moons ago when I was torturing a mandolin. All the best.

Excellent instruction and way fun. Thanks for expanding my repertoire.

This is just brilliant. Ukulele blues? What’s not to love 💕

Thank you for making the blues feel so easy, another great tutorial!

This is really great, thank you. First one of your vids I've watched and I am already a fan.

Really appreciate this, and you have a great, open-hearted teaching style. Thank you!

Such a great tutorial, thx!!! Really opened up a whole new style of play... I'm having a blast with it thanks to you! If you're not a beginner don't give up on this vid, just play at 1.25 or 1.5(not the music, just the instructions)

Love your version! Easy to learn. Thanks so much!

A real tonic when stuck at home due to Covid - 19

Thank you so much. I just love the blues and you taught me how to give it a little more soul. Hmmm mm love it.

Pretty simple licks but I always play it. Second one I learned from you, Thanks for the video.

That was an awesome lesson ...!, very clear and easy to follow and understand thanks:-)

MORE MORE MORE!!!! I loved that. THANKYOUUUUUUUKULELE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!

thanks! simple, clearly explained and fun!!

Nice! I am just getting into the Blues and you are a great teacher, thanks!

awesome! very easy to understand! You are great at explaining it.

I've been playing a uke and guitar for two years, made 6 CBG's and just finished a U bass, I thought I was good at the 12 bar, but that was the best blue's tutorial I have seen on here, it certainly improved my playing, it would be good to see what you can do on a 3 string CBG. I had a look at what else you have posted, and there all great, love your mandolin video's, it has to be my next make or buy, I'm now your latest subscriber, keep up the great work.

So easy to sound impressive with this lesson!! Thanks! Sincerely a 5 month player

What a great tutorial. Thank you

Sir, you deserve for more likes and subscribes. Thank you so much for the lesson.

Thank you. That was such a great lesson and so fun to kinda be playing a song with some rhythm (totally new on uk)

The best yet. Thank you.

thanks, got it. love the ending run. Your great at teaching .

Thank you so much such a well explained ultra cool ukulele technique!

I'm on day 3 of my uke, and this is the first song that I tried that actually sounded like music! I started with Three Little Birds like everyone else, lol, but the F chord is a nightmare for me so far (I have really small hands and I keep muting the C string, I'll get it eventually). Thanks for this, I feel almost accomplished!

Thank you so much! Great lesson!

This just makes me happy.

this video got me started playing blues on my uke

Awesome video! Thank you.

LOVE THIS SO MUCH! THANK YOU!

Wow your video is great deserves a subscribe for me cause I'm just learning but you've made this really fun and easy

Great lesson thank you, i specifically got into ukulele to play blues and this will really help 👍.

Hats off to this man

Very clear and helpful. Thanks very much.

Wow , thanks, blues on uke is my dream come true. Im a bit younger than the other guys at 64 two weeks ago and i think i can do this, fat stiff fingers and all. If only my memory could keep up with the chords. Thanks from Patrick.

One of the best...thanks ever so....now I just need to practise..

Great clear instructions good job, thanks

Excellent lesson thank you :)

Fine offering of the basics, John. During the turnaround portion you often call the chords by the wrong names, not that it matters much.

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

Great! Inspiring....I am going to practice this....

Blues sounds soooo good on uke

Fantastic video

sooo good. thank you A LOT

Thank you! Nice lesson!

thanks man, it's great

One of the best tutorials for myself a beginner. thank you, where can I find more ??

easy to follow. Cheers

Still replying to comments, what a great guy

Love It! Thanks. 😊

This is great🎉

I'm looking for free ukelele tab blues as I've just started playing this instrument. please, send me useful informations about. Many thanks. Charles

Bestial !

That's a nice progression. E7 is a lovely chord

your the best thanks for the help

Hi John, I can see I am going to have fun learning this, blues on a uke, what a kick. It looks like I have the same uke as you do, but I am noticing your strings are different and the tone is a bit brighter. What strings are you using, and do you like them? Also, your teaching is great but I am having difficulty with having my strum gliding. Either I miss the strings, don't really strum, or dig in too hard. I can see practice is helping (I've been playing a whole week!). What I am wondering is if you could tell me if you tend to strum with an index, a thumb, an index on a down and a thumb on an up, or two fingers? Do you angle? Thanks bunches, glad I found your vid.

Awesome!

Thanks John !!

Thank you!

Yes I have to ukuleles i would like to know if I should put meadem or heave I play the guitar and use light strings

This is great and I'll work it until i get it. I'm a newbie and I've found i have to keep going back to the start of the tutorial to get what each of the chords are. I THINK it might help to add a tabulature overlay to the video so one could see the chord and fingering for whatever chord you were currently playing. Is it just too hard video-wise or is this not a good idea? Again I'm a newbie.

Hey by my banjolele is concert size..but my finger are bigger! thanks for your reply matey.. regards

Thank you so much for the intro! It's fun! What kind of strings do you have on your ukulele?

Thanks for lesson :)

Love it :))

I award you the best charismatic stylish ukulele blues Prince 2021

Nice sounding ukulele John what Make and type is it? I've been thinking of getting a tenor or banjolele for a change of sound . Keep up the good work. Dave from England

......and just watching yet again! A question ,is the fret board smaller in width on a uke banjo? I have a litle trouble on mine when it comes to keeping from catching the free strings. I keep practising tho'

Thanks a lot Dude!

What model uke is that please, it sounds pretty good.

What ukulele are you playing? Good stuff

Call me stupid if necessary, but I cannot get the turn around inn the C-Uke Blues. The turn around in the A-Uke Blues was explained in detail and I got that one. John

great

Should i uses E A D G or D G B E and meadem or heave

Your sound is so bright compared to mu muffled soprano. Is it a matter of strings and pick? I'm using my fingers and the nylon that came with my Sierra made in China.

My question is: eight minutes into the video you do a walk down from the fourth fret on the second and fourth strings and you say you end up on an E but it looks & sounds like an A7. Can you please clarify this for me. Thank you Z
