    Excellent series of 4 video lessons going from basics including singing through to very tuneful whole. Challenging in some parts, easier in others. Exactly what I need and immensely satisfying as I continue on the journey. Thanks Stu, more like this please

    One correction Stu... Otis Redding and Sam and Dave weren't Motown artists, they were Stax artists and the soulful guitar work was the product of Steve Cropper. Thought you might want to know. Otherwise, this is a great lesson. Love your tutorials!!

  • @denisesimonik1504
    @denisesimonik1504 Před rokem +1

    Had a question - when playing just 2 strings, such as in the first bar, do you pinch the strings with 2 fingers or use just one or just the thumb? I thought you said you can do either but I was unsure exactly what the strumming hand is doing. Thanks!

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  Před rokem +1

      Hi Denise, either way will work... I recommend you play in the way that feels most natural to you. I use both ways depending on the way the wind blows 😉 PRO TIP: If using the thumb (or a pick) aim for the string closest to the floor. This way, the one on top will be played automatically & there is the feeling that you're just playing ONE string instead of two. Play on, Stu

      @@UkuleleZen Well, actually a lot of people are trying to get a visa to start a business here. Maybe you can get one. Forgot what it is called off hand, but maybe something to do in the "Arts". I didn't know the ukulele is so popular here. I'm new and bought a "Famous " brand. Its one of Japans top makers of ukuleles. Check them out on Japan Amazon. Hmm... I got to see if I'm on your mailing list. Yikes!

    I hates Stew He makes everything look and sounds so good and easy And then you play it on your ukulele And it doesn't sound nothing like when he plays it

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  Před rokem +1

      Don't judge your playing by how it sounds, rather by how it makes you FEEL. I've been playing music since I was a little boy...just keep on showing up and play with focus everyday and things will follow their course ;-)
