Had to do all three again, what can I say but the fact that you still have the little boy passion after all these years is the gold. It should be mandatory that all Ukulele players should take your lesson(s) because after they do, the public stops frowning and starts smiling when they play. I have seen this & we all need you Gerald, thanks! Please go to all Gerald Ross workshops and tell your festival promoters to book Gerald now then thank me later! P.S. Make him pull out the Steel guitar too, he will know what song to play for you!
Dear Mr. Ross, your tutorials are pure gold. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank you. I try to simplify things.
Mr. Ross, I like your way of teaching thank you.
Thank you John.
What can I say, thank you for one of the best tutorials out there. PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE
Gerald you've made me a better player in just these 3 lessons! looking forward in learning more from you...thanks, bro!
Maaaaan so much thanks!
Wow! Never knew that great technique. I imagine it works because the song is in C and the open strings are C6/Am7. Thanks a lot for explaining this! I really appreciate it since I've always been mystified by the swing uke technique. Now I get it. Thanks! 8-)
Hello Gerald, Thank you for this valuable series. The open up strum as a start is the cherry on top. Again, Thank You, great stuff.

Hey Gerald, very helpful, nice to meet you.
best wishes from madrid, Spain.
thanks for sharing
you're the BOSS!...thx...
Have fun Raggy! Spread the word. Thanks.
Thanks all for the encouraging words. I perform and teach at music and ukulele festivals around the USA. Don't be shy, introduce yourselves if I'm in your neighborhood.
Thank you, thank you! Great pace, great instruction. Thanks for including the little details that make it all come together. (P.S. I just bought 2 CDs based on what I heard in this series).
So where's lesson 4?
Actually I was going to a get a heads up from you ;) a cheat sheet so to speak. Your going to be in Albuquerque soon and I do not want to miss it. Love your swing rhythm. I have a teacher named Judy and she teaches once a month at the library and speaks of you quite often. Good luck on your travels, and see you soon.
Thanks Sandra. That made my day
See you in ABQ next month.
Thanks Gerald...just starting to concentrate...you're second positions are awesome...Story Fish from Cape Cod....come and visit for a free fishing charter sometime between June and September...I met you in Nova Scotia.
nice lessons thanks ! We need part 4 how to solo on this !
Your stuff is excellent. I learn slow but I've started at #1. Could you, would you EVER show a song treatment , your way...of Summertime....and "It's all your fault". Those would be great!
Thanks for the CD purchase tp63us! They will ship tomorrow!
Hi Story, Long time sine Nova Scotia, eh? Thanks for the good words!
Thanks Gerald. I do a blog for DGBE players called Humble Baritonics. Your lessons are so delicious that I had to share it with bari players too. Jeff / Humble Uker

Great, thank You ! :)
Great stuff, Gerald. So two+ years later, any chance of more lessons in swing, or picking? Love all your tunes.

Great vid, so... Does this work because then progression is in c major? Or in other words; do you also use same (open string strum) technique if a progression is in another key?
Is this actually the trick/technique we hear all (gypsy) jazz guitar (rythm) guitar players use?
great
Thanks for making thees lessons so clear and easy to follow. I have one question; in the Outro
ending is it OK to substitute C 5433, C7 3433, F 5553, E#M 5543 C 5433, , G7 4535, C 3345.
All the best,
Richard Court
Thanks for the three great lessons. Is this where the lessons end or is there a fourth one coming? Do you do private lessons on Skype? Eliann
Love it! This is exactly what I'd like to be able to do. Gerald, is there any way you could put all those chords onto one or two screens, or maybe just put 'em in a comment or something? I'd like to be able to look at them all at once when practicing.
Thanks for the great lessons!
Thanks for ideas Jim. I’ll incorporate your thoughts in future videos.
Thank you. Me likey
Love your lessons. Is the outro C C7 F7 F#7 G7 C? TUCK
Hello Gerald..... Nice crisp chords...obviously a very nice uke....what strings do you use??
Rob
Robert Bennett When I filmed this video I was using Worth CT Fluorocarbon strings. I currently use Oasis Fluorocarbons. I prefer this material because it makes the strings very slippery and easy to slide on.
Many thanks...I notice you dony use low G
Well done, but the record volume is not muy high,,,,
I like that, but what in the heck open chords are you using. You are not using the ones at the top of the neck. I have no idea what open chords you are using. I don’t know open chords for A, D, G, E7, A9, F7 or G9 close to where those closed chords are. You are not moving up the neck to where the open chords are you started with. I also didn’t understand were you hammering the chords or actually playing them. I am very confused.
What do you teach when your on the road?
Hi Sandra. I teach at many of the major ukulele and string-based music festivals and camps. My workshops include, chord melody, lead playing, economizing chord selection, chord inversions etc.
