I'm just so glad Marco shares his knowledge of the Uke with us. Yes he is very talented.

I will not dance ... sorry! hehehe

@@MarcoCirilloUkulele 🤣

@@MarcoCirilloUkulele LOL !! 😂😆

Glad you enjoyed it! Music theory is always really important so yep it would definitely help studying even just the basics :)

That would be an honour

@@MarcoCirilloUkulele I'm sure she too watches your videos!

I second that! He’s awesome!

Billy Jean version

Matt has some of the best you tube uke tutorials

Beautiful red!

Thanks a lot!

Do you have the link?

Really?! I have the feeling she’s quite tall 🤔

@@MarcoCirilloUkulele Nope, I've met her lots of times. She's 5'5" and willow thin.

Whaaaaaaat???

They have different style of playing. ☀️🎸

Jake appeals to pop music fans, esp. Japan. His new jazz is incredible, more improvised.

I think it's the Phantom of the opera../carmen..

Glad you enjoyed it

Ah that a good one!

@@MarcoCirilloUkulele 🙏

He’s my N.1 favorite!

Thanks Tom ☀️

I think it's either Kanilea....Kealoha...or Kamaka

Nope

Evan is a gift from ukulele god😄. I wonder how good he will be in ten years. I’m a huge fan.

I am not insulting anyone Rick. I just said that her right hand technique is indeed different than the usual fingerstyle technique. Now I learned that this is how you do it so I’ll make sure I point that out! You are right. I know nothing about your culture and how you teach and play ukulele. That’s why I like to record and share these videos so that we learn from your culture. I don’t get why you would feel offended.

@@MarcoCirilloUkulele well, how can it be that we in Hawai'i are the unique ones when the 'ukulele was developed in Hawai'i and the players in Hawai'i were the ones who figured out how to play this new instrument that had a different tuning than the original instrument, the Machete de Braga from Madeira, Portugal that was tuned linear DGBD not a reentrant GCEA like how a standard 'ukulele is now and this started in the late 1800's! So since 'ukulele playing started in Hawai'i, how can you say we are unique players in Hawai'i because we play different from what you do? So then my question is why do you play our cultural instrument, the 'ukulele different than we do in Hawai'i? How can we be the unique ones if we have been playing the 'ukulele for over a century, wouldn't the players playing the 'ukulele differently than we do are actually the unique ones because they are not following the way the people who originally played the 'ukulele? So the originators are the unique one? Not the newer or different styles or versions are? We in Hawai'i are actually grateful when other play and teach the 'ukulele around the world because it's spreads with it a part of the Hawaiian culture, although it does sadden us when they mispronounce the word 'ukulele and disregard the culture that the 'ukulele comes from. I'm sorry to make this comment public but I thought that you should know what players and teachers from Hawai'i have to go through. Just like great guitar players like my friend's dad Pepe Romero, is he a unique player? Was Andre Segovia a unique player? Or are they the role models that classical guitarist inspire other classical guitarist? So the the same is with the 'ukulele, are the artists who are no longer here like my teacher Bill Tapia, or Peter Moon Sr., Eddie Kamae, Jesse Kalima, Poncie Ponce, Ernest Ka'ai, Sol and Richard Hoopi'i, Auntie Genoa Keawe, and my more the unique ones? Or are they role models for us to strive for? That's the difference for us in Hawai'i as we grew up with the 'ukulele and that's why we have so many players that start at a young age including my who started 55 years ago at 5 years old. So think about it from the perspective of the people from Hawai'i who had their culture and language almost stripped from them and also had their lands and monarchy unlawfully overthrown. I have been told that the Hawaiians stole the instrument from the Portuguese, but when they immigrated from the Kingdom of Portugal to the Kingdom of Hawai'i times were different back then and so was immigration. So when the 'ukulele was developed, it was in the Kingdom of Hawai'i not just an set of islands that are part of the United States. So if I seem slightly defensive, I apologize! I just want to educate players and teachers of our beloved instrument about it's rich history in the Hawaiian culture. So I hope that this helps explain a little bit of why when you say that we are unique players of the 'ukulele leaves a little bitter taste in our mouths here in Hawai'i. I thank you for all you do in playing, teaching, and promoting the wonderful and amazing 'ukulele! Have a wonderful and blessed day! 😊

Thanks for sharing this! I appreciate that 🎸☀️. I don’t play the ukulele like you do in Hawaii because I don’t have to. Everyone can play the ukulele as they want. That doesn’t mean I am disrespecting your culture. You said it yourself. The ukulele was brought to Hawaii from Portugal. It wasn’t created in Hawaii. People from Hawaii were inspired by this new instrument so they “change it up” a little and called it ukulele. They put their influences into the instrument and made it their own. If someone from Italy is inspired by the ukulele but feels like playing it in a non traditional way then it’s absolutely fine. Heck, even a legend like Jake Shinabukuro use the tapping technique on the ukulele (a guitar technique) which it wasn’t “invented” on the ukulele. And Taimane also plays a lot of Flamenco progressions and classical music. Do you think they are disrespecting the ukulele culture by playing in a non traditional way? I don’t think so. It is fine to break the rules and add your influences in any instrument you play. We all agree that there is a traditional way of playing the ukulele. And yes, we should definitely address that more and thank all the amazing Hawaiian ukulele players that made the ukulele popular. However, I believe that there is not right or wrong, unique or conventional way of playing an instrument. Have a lovely Sunday 🎸☀️

Tamaine also tunes her uke to low g. I am new to playing, but did listen to her and Jake S once in a while. I was wondering why her uke sound was different, then I found about the low g.

Hey Ronald, I am sorry if you feel this way. I have been playing guitar for 23 years and I bought my first Uke around July 2020. At first I played my fav guitar chords on the ukulele so all the videos you’ll see on my channel are about chords and melodies I was teaching on my guitar channel. I didn’t listen to ukulele players at all. I was consuming more teaching videos than actual music videos. I knew that Taimane existed lol but I wasn’t familiar with her music that’s why I probably misspelled her name. Of course, I made a video because she inspires me a lot not because I am trying to catch her attention. Ill work hard to gain your respect back! Keep practicing ☀️🎸.

This dude. Not everyone has seen these performers. Not everyone has been playing uke for years.

What a weird comment. The point is looking at different players and their techniques. The good part is seeing Marco break down the techniques and talk about them, so how does it matter how old the video is? I’d love to see one for Roy Smeck and that’s ancient by comparison.

why are you complaining theres nothing wrong with the video just sit back and enjoy it
