    Thank you, Stu! You teach great tricks and tecniques, and you give a sense of calm and joy. I'm living the molt difficult and painful time of my life. And you and the joy in yours eyes (and in your heart) are so calming... You remind me that music is a great help when you are feeling so deeply, totally broken, but also that have to start to pratice Mindfulness again. Thank you for this, too. Namaste.

    Thank you, Stu for more great ideas. This lesson built on the former Doo-Wop lesson unchained my playing. I stopped playing bass almost 30 years ago, but starting playing ukulele in 2021, I kept the alternating index-middle technic on ukulele. After a very few days I was really surprised how much better, faster and easier this is. 🥴

    That Dm works quite well in the doo wop progression, a nice, subtle shading from the F I'd normally play there-- great video!

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  Před rokem +1

      Yeah, the F & Dm are interchangable. You can also play an Fm or Fm6 to REALLY pull on the harmonic heart strings...play Dm the 1st 3x thru and then add Fm or Fm6 ;-)

    Stu, love adding new techniques to my daily practice. I’ve been working on the fan strum, the chuck, the triplet strum, and the roll for some time now. They are all improving incrementally by sticking with them and being patient. Thanks for your constant reminder to relax and breathe.

    Thanks Stu-y! Im a chord player and i keep telling myself i need to learn more chords up the neck, but i just haven't. Do you have a video on chords up the neck? I need to learn some but need some songs to make me practice. Also i learned, quite by accident, the G11. It makes a nice kinda turn around an also adds dimension to a lot of the things inplay

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  Před rokem +2

      This is a great question...I'm working on a new online course thatw ill "Unlock the Neck" and present a system for playing any chord, anywere -- and use otehr voidicngs in common chord progressions! :-D I'll be announcing it sometime inthe next month or two...

      @@UkuleleZen yay!!!! Thank you so much! I have tons of chords committed to memory so i can play with my eyes closed. I often lie in bed playing songs in my head and i can see the chord shapes. Moving up the neck will present challenges to me bc my fingers dont know where to land without thinking. I also have to count up to the frets. Dont like that. So if you can give any tips on teaching oneself to move along the fret board more easily i would appreciate it! I know PRACTICE will be the main course of action.
