    I liked when you showed a side-by-side video of a solo riff played against the chords.
    What I would really like to see though is the melody and riffs picked out from around the chords, combining rhythm and lead on a single uke, in order to play an instrumental of the Beatles songs without singing. (I just like instrumentals).
    Do you have a video of "Let It Be"?
