Hey, Stuart! Best 10+ minutes I ever spent since I've been playing the ukulele again (after an 20 year absence). Never thought I'd be able to play blues on the ukulele, but now I can see that it's possible. THANKS!

right on ... iv been playing uke for about 6 months now and having alot of fun. but this is awsome to give alittle spice to the boogie woogie. thank you

@killa46464 6 жыл бұрын

I appreciate the explanation of the strumming simulating drumming . And you’re guidance with counting . It can be these little tips that can make a big difference , especially to self taught people like myself who rely on whatever I pick up . So grateful for the knowledge . Thanks again ~ Cheers . :)

@philphy9257 6 жыл бұрын

I've watched a few of your videos and always get something out of them but this one, with your solo at the end, really put a smile on my face. Been playing the uke for maybe six months now and steadily building up a few skills and a play list but your lessons just add a whole new dimension and a whole lot of fun, thank you so much !!

@UkuleleZen 6 жыл бұрын

Awesome!! So glad to hear. Make a list of the skills & tunes you want to work on every month...there’s a great magic in writing it down (and of course your list is subject to your own changes)...be well,Stu
