Just found your site after taking a year and 1/2 off....my Uke was stolen and I didn't play until I received a very sweet one for Christmas and I was so pleased to see and hear your vids....I am loving your presence and your presents. Thanks You. All the best for this new year. Digging the grooves!

[@UkuleleZen]

SO glad! czcams.com/play/PLsl7OyjF5SLNt6O6wmt8WK07K2OJ5qgmg.html

[@delmarlemming]

Wow, Stu! I found those two initial chords mysterious and almost spooky. Once in context, I came back to earth. Thank you!!

[@npgibson69]

I hit that first G9 13 and enlightenment was achieved. 🙏
G9 13 and C9 13 sound great with my favorite one finger chords, Am and F9.

I stumbled upon this channel looking for Jazz UKE INFO. As a 50 year jazz player I can say: Excellent teacher. Patient, Positive attitude, Theory is right on but never gos over your head. First time I watched this I didnt even have my UKE with me. Peaceful Dude. Inspiring. I really wiish Id learned theory from him when I was a student.. Great Job.

[@UkuleleZen]

Wow… Thanks so much for your kind comment Chas. I hope you share the video with anyone you think is interested… I'll be offering some more jazz tutorials and an online course in the subject this year. Play on! 🎶🤙

[@sammiller9855]

Because the ukulele is a high pitch instrument, particularly the soprano and concert sizes, adding 2nds (9th), 4ths (11ths), 6ths (13ths), and/or 7ths to chords in "reentrant tuning" creates semi-tone and whole-tone dissonances that can sound quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@UkuleleZen]

Yes Sam...good point! These sound really cool on High G tuning!

[@lukaszsalata1]

a lot of cool things to learn from you, thanks

[@frankcolam6350]

[@1302mb]

Haven't been on YT for a long while, getting reinstated was a bit of a chore, I'll try to keep things more up to date. Have an abiding passion for Great American Songbook material. Looking forward to learning with you. Ukulele, 4 strings, 4 fingers coincidence, I think not.
I find having the lyrics and chords displayed in the traditional manner the easiest way to put the perfect rhythm into the melodies, making the changes appropriately.

[@rinitabhaduri6632]

The first chord really did hit me ...so pleasant

[@UkuleleZen]

Wonderful! Thanks & I hope you'll subscribe to keep in the loop of when I post for more videos like this one :). czcams.com/users/ukulelezen
