lmao yes!

+Ciara Carruthers : Great Ciara! My guitarist coworker worked it out on the ukulele for me. He realized the uke had 4 strings and was perfect for 4 fingers. I just added the funky ending and I actually learned it.

Not a problem.

You're welcome. I'm glad it's helping you with your injury so you can enjoy the uke. Thanks for your nice words.

Bob LeDrew : Thanks. I need to get better at it myself but I thought I would share before I hit Hawaii. hehe

Thank you for your nice comments. I plan on making for videos with fun stuff. The best lesson of mine is how to do the three basic strums for the uke. Learn that! That's the secret.

Thanks. I plan on doing more videos soon

A guitarist at my workplace taught me this and suggested it on the uke. Glad your version works too. Great!!!

Wow! Great! When I went to Hawaii in 2015 on that group ukulele tour, I had no idea of what type of Hawaiian uke I might buy. It turned out by luck that I got that Kamaka tour. I'm very partial to the Kamaka pineapple! Koaloha makes one as well but Kamaka was the original and I met Fred Kamaka so I was sold! hehe

Thanks. My coworker gave me that tip so I adapted it for the uke.

Great, Pavel! Glad you could make use of it!

@@PeteyHoudini who wouldn't, Peter? Freedom is the most of people desire, even if it is the independence of fingers ) Happy coming New Year

I am using it few times per day now to warm up and very surprised of my own progress. Thanks again. Happy coming New year!

Happy New Year to you too!

The guitar player I know recommended it to me for the uke because of the 4 strings and 4 fingers. He learned it from somewhere else on the guitar. It's well worth practicing.

I have incorporated the Spider into my routine. Thanks for that and the other lessons.

Cool. One guy here from Ireland told me he was doing the Spider in a music store in Ireland and everyone turned to look at him. He also did my insane ending chords addition... hehe I always add my take on things and especially when they are good like this exercise. You're welcome. Thanks for sharing your previous experience with that pattern 35 years back!

Jimmy McGee : Glad to see you too Jimmy are starting to do vids again and making music! Go man, go!

Glad it helps!

Bitte, Martina. Vielen Dank für deine Kommentäre. Ich habe ein Video "3 Essential Strums getan. Ich versuche mehre Videos für Anfänger zu Machen. Ich war auch in Rundfunk mit meine Ukulelen Music vor einen Monat auf WDR. www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr5/sendungen/zeitzeichen/karl-peglau-100.html

Peter Forrest.... jaaaa, habe ich mir angehört, ist ja toll! Du warst schon drei mal in Berlin? Ich noch nie in Kanada.... naja, schade! Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Du noch mehr Anfängerkurse machst, Deine Art zu spielen ist außergewöhnlich und gefällt mir sehr gut! Sei herzlich gegrüßt aus Deutschland Martina

In Berlin, es gibt immer noch Leute... in "Keiner da"... nichts! LOL hehe

lario lariosa : You're welcome. It does help accuracy. 8-)

Thanks, but funny enough, I used to be a skater back in 1977 and won first prize in the 11-12 years old division of the skateboard contest in my hometown of Sarnia weeks only before the 1st Star Wars movie came out. hehe www.ukulelenorth.ca/images/skaters.jpg

That’s sick!!!

You're welcome. One guy from Ireland told me he was doing the spider scales in a music store in Ireland on purpose and everyone turned and looked at him! hehe

Hehe indeed, it is an unusual way to practice scales!

+Hart Mut : It's tricky. My coworker who is a guitarist adapted that from his guitar lessons to the ukulele for me. Yeah, I added in the other parts as well. You always need other people for other ideas.

Oh yes, how true this is!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Gracias. No tengo tiempo en este momento para añadir subtítulos.

Thanks.

Thanks... I love that crazy chord! hehe

Thank you, Good Sir. Snape rocks the uke!

Nadda Mansour : Hi Nadda! Thanx. I learn by exploration. I chat with other musicians, I buy lots of ukulele method books (old and new), I watch YT vids, and I attend some ukulele jams in different cities and smooze with other uke players. There is no one good book. However, my best advice (that no uke player ever wants to follow) is to learn to read music and be able to play melody lines on the uke off a page of simple sheet music. That is the best advice of all. Sure, there are plenty of unskilled genius uke players but they are not in the majority. Also, the best uke books require reading music knowledge like the Daniel Ho edited books by Alfred Publishing. I recommend all three with DVDs. Though, best to start with the Hal Leonard Ukulele 1 method by my fav. Lil' Rev to learn to read music. BTW - the Spider scales was suggested to me by a guitarist coworker who thought it would work on the uke. I adapted it for the uke.

Brian Fergus : A twisted pair is right! LOL It's always great to meet new people with a similar mindset. I'll be sticking with the JHUI. It was amazing. Been perusing your vids.

Ingo Janßen : Danke.

He's been out of work since he displaced Dumbledore to a different universe. ;-)

Sure, in a comment... I can add it to the description afterwards. Glad you liked it. Petey

I just added your links to the song description. Thanks!

@@PeteyHoudini I am grateful for the lesson. Thanks for your effort. :)

PoppaSkinnysFarm : Thanks a lot and vive le capitaine!!!

Mine two.. It gets better.

+Hh Xx : ¡Gracias por tu ayuda increíble con los acordes!

Vos me ayudaste con el ejercicio, que es excelente. Si lo que escribí, te sirvió, me siento el doble de bien. Saludos y un muy buen pasar.

+Hh Xx : Gracias, amigo del ukulele. Un compañero de trabajo me mostró esta técnica que yo llamé las escales de la araña.

Excelente...voy a estar ahí, pendiente de cualquier otro video que publiqués sobre técnicas en ukelele, porque siempre estoy intentando mejorar y avanzar en ese sentido. Siempre agradecido, un gran abrazo.

+Hh Xx : Dicen que necesitamos siempre otras personas por nuevas ideas. No hay de qué.

The poor dog is still waiting... hehe It's probably best to just use the thumb to pick all the notes. Though, it's worth using the picking fingers as well in the long run. Glad you liked the scale.

Did you ever hear a song Called " Vincent 52" by a guy called Richard Thompson. Great tune I would love to figure out how to pick or play.. Anyway thanks again for the vids. Really enjoying trying new stuff and realising Yes I can do it.

Nope. Never heard that song. Doesn't appear in YT either after a quick search. The key is to keep looking for things to get better.

Thanks, man. Just watched his nice vid and his entire playing style is merely clawhammer and I'm from Sarnia, Canada, but Lil' Rev only lives a few states away in the USA and he explains it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pd6Gp7lj3NXOqaM.html

Thanks Peter I will check it out. I am in Ireland by the way.

I can neither confirm or deny that. hehe

Could be anything.

@@PeteyHoudini It is a description of you! My dad used to call us that when I did something silly. I hate to break it to you; gonna be a real shocker. You are silly.
