Sorry I had to miss LIVE this morning---wonderful tips, and what a wonderful way you presented these tips Stu. I LOVED harmonizing with you as we "breathed" and played. And got a HOOT out of playing my jacket! Great tips. Thanks Stu. Can't wait for the courses!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I don’t know what happened there, but I’m glad it came back & stayed on! Happy playing 🤙🎶
Yes I can hear you!😎 Geno

Stu you are one hell of a rhythm player! I thought I was coming along but I do need to loosen my wrist. The really hard thing is to throw in a chuck with the hand somewhat raised from the frets. The uke case exercise reminded me of that Liszt movie when he practiced in his coach with a pretend keyboard. There is always something to practice wherever you may be. Antarctic blast here in Tassie but the sun is shining.
An Antarctic blast, eh? Wowzaz. Thanks for joining in Bonny...loose wrists are what helped my strumming out in a big way...happy playing & stay well, Stu
well deserved vacation! I hope you enjoy it deeply my friend 😊!!

Merci Estelle!! Be well...Provence looks like a lovely place to be 😊🙏🏻
I love the pics of your wee baby would like to see his Mummy also. Thankyou for good video. My brain is in overdrive. A lot for my 79+ grey matter
Momma is in a few other videos...like this one: czcams.com/video/Cb0a1-v3_R4/video.html However, lately she is taking care of the little bear while I teach :-) Thanks for hanging & playing along Yyvonne!
Thank you, Stu! Your lessons are very unique. I found myself becoming softer as I sing along in the breathing practice. Hope you make a video about “singing & playing” lesson some day. By the way Do you sell a tab sheet for “Keanuhea”? I downloaded your playing the other day and it’s beautiful!
Hi Monica, hope you’re doing well… Thank you and I appreciate your kind words about my playing. Perhaps someday I can make a tab sheet for that… for certain, I will be showing more about singing and playing at the same time 😉🎶🤙
