Joyful. Quirky. Irresistibly cheeky. So often are the words used to describe the ukulele applied to its players as well. And who would object to such a reputation, built on a sturdy foundation of positivity, individuality, and passion? The ukulele community connects generations and welcomes players of all levels, from "Ahi Wela" on the beach to Bach in the concert hall-it asks only that you appreciate the beauty of music made on four mischievous strings. Ukulele magazine celebrates your enthusiasm and inclusiveness. We want to fill our pages with your stories and playful spirit. At our best, we hope to strengthen our readers' connections to each other, and to the music that ties the community together.

Lenny!!!!
Awesome nice and great 👍
Oh, the sweet taste of India 🇮🇳
As a ukulele player who used to listen to Ragas for hours on end, I look forward to connecting these two far-flung dots on the map! Thanks
I can t really guet the rythm. There is something with the thumb who gives more boum shake..
Thank you for this inspiring and enthusing video.
Beautiful !!! JAI GURU DEV
I much prefer it in D. Thanks for sharing this 😊
I knew I needed to sit down and Iearn/practice the scales (Ugh!)- C major, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian and G Mixolydian. I sooo dreaded the thought of it. 😣 But… You just turned it into something I now look forward to. 😁 Thank you!
This is great to see. I love your class and I just happen to have a Ukulele that I removed the frets on and it’s much easier. I definitely recommend a pickup if you use a fretless ukulele.
That’s some great playing. Thanks for sharing. I learned that the ukulele can be tuned to another key. Cheers! 😀🥳
You are a great teacher I know as a beginner will struggle but practice makes it perfect. Thanks

Nice! A simple but lovely strum pattern for this song (and using only the thumb).

Thank you sir. Good variety of music styles.
Tbh I dont like the way it is played or it may be its sound itself.
I agree something is off for me. It’s not as bright as I think of for Ukuleles. Could be the player, but I doubt I’d make it sound any better. 😆

Would love to hear the tenor TK-7 as well if you have one.
How wonderful. I bought the "Cord Wheel" by Jim Fleser, and, WOW, your video really made more sense of the cord wheel. For me, it is not as simple as it is for you. Thank you for the video.
How can I get a ton G uke …. I do not WANT one …. I NEED one
Chords: Em B7 Am and…? C6 or something?
Exactly right! See the notation here: ukulelemagazine.com/stories/ukulele-lesson-daniel-ward-flamenco-rumba-strum
The best brother,for ukulele,keep it up,brother.love you brother.❤
Amazing lesson on the Roman numeral system thanks a lot Diane
What are the benefits of having that double nut at the head of your ukulele? I have one like that and wondered the reasoning. Thank you for the Roman numeral chord lesson.😊
The ukelele she's playing has what's called a "zero fret." The nut no longer serves the usual purpose and is only there as a sort of guide to keep the strings from moving laterally very much. Some guitars are also made with zero frets. The benefit is, you can use any gauge of string in any position without needing to file (or replace) the nut.
Great to see you. Love the lesson.
I’m so excited to be in this class. Thank you very much for your years of hard work in bringing this to us. It’s mind blowing to a western Uke player. 🙏🙏🙏 Looking forward to learning!
Random question, I'm looking for a first Ukelele, never played one before. Which tenor would you recommend. It's a minefield out there.
Or another teacher without to take offence
I like a lot. I'm going to star to play uke on mango tenor uke in few days. How to have lessons for beginners with you ? Is it free ? I must subscribe to the magazine for this ?
1:59 Playing with high-G tuning "won't be an issue", you say. But much to my disappointment, I've found that four of the five pieces in the online Ragalele course are unplayable on my high-G ukulele. I'm glad I can get my money back, but it would have been even better to receive advance warning of the low-G requirement in the emails announcing the course. [EDITED TO ADD: Since writing this comment a week ago, I've bought myself a second ukulele so that I'll always be ready for high G or low G. But because of the psychology of expectation management, I still think it would be courteous to give students early warning of the tuning requirements.]
Yes sir that’s my baby uke chords
Oh my gosh. In the introduction you literally described my ukulele playing .😏
You make it really fun❤😂🎉😊
So good to see Diane again. It’s been a while. You’ve been missed💖💕
I'm learning to sing, after a lifetime of being told to move my lips and not make a sound. It's getting better, but I am in awe with your voice.
That really was an awesome lesson. I'll have to watch it several times and maybe check out the article. That really helps me moving forward
I'm gonna try this.
Thank you. Very clear presentation. Good sound. Good video, Good explanation. Some years back I had stumble on these slides to get a rough Indian sound but it is great to see how to do it properly with a range of ornamentations.
This is really beautiful and enjoyable to learn! Thank you!
