Fun song played by the best teacher out there. Great job Matt!

This is such a cool concept! Adding in the different layers of the song and teaching it that way. It also sounds very lovely. 😊 You can also add in a clawhammer layer if you want. 😅😂😶

Good strumming guide

What key is this in?

You're a godsend and a fantastic teacher. Your disposition and delivery is brilliant and really helps with engagement and retention. Thank you so much for these videos!

Matt's story really resonates. I picked up an ukulele a few years ago because a friend played and it looked like fun, relatively inexpensive and relatively easy. But when I attended the Vancouver Ukelele Festival in 2018, I was blown away by the versatility and variety of styles - amazing teachers playing swing, country, blues, jazz, as well as their own modern compositions with touches of rock or classical. People such as Kalei Gamiao, Casey MacGill, Daniel Ward, Heidi Swedberg, Sarah Maisel, Craig Chee. I had no idea this little instrument could be so powerful. That was the inspiration to get serious about learning to play, and I've never looked back.

This is so helpful !!! Way better than any app or video I already tried. Thank you ! 🎉

Really beautiful song and really beautifully played! 😊🏝️🏖️🌊🌞☀️💙🧡💛💚

My immediate ukulele future is the Uke Fest Of Great Britain. Looking forward to your workshop Matt👍

As well as the ukulele being accessible the uke community, at all levels seems so friendly and accepting. To get personal replies to questions from top flight players (James Hill and Victoria Vox for example) is amazing. Couldn't imagine a similar situation in the classical guitar world. So many people give their time to help and advise either free or for not very much (around a tenner a month for most sites) is just great.

Great discussion. Some lovely stories. I played the classical guitar for around 40 years and flack picked a steel string for several more. Found rock class 101 on the Web and was inspired to buy a uke about 18 months ago. So accessible. Never had so much fun with music . Selling my mandolin and one of my guitars to finance my uke habit.

I think you nailed. I’m from a family of musicians and my entire life I’ve been around guitars but tried 3 different times and can’t get it. Never made a full song. At my 47’s now it came across with an Uke and the first I thought was “this is a toy from Hawaii”, 3 months in to it and so far I have 5 songs I can play and I’m enjoying it a lot. It suuuuper easy IMO. My guitars are decorating the walls on my house waiting for me to have time to list them for sale. So far tried soprano, concert and I’m stuck now with tenor. When I grow up I want to be like you. It’s sooooo much that can be done on an Uke and not just what my ignorance saw at the beginning (the Hawaiian toy) that it’s crazy.

Jake played his part in what could be played on a ukulele I believe the tone woods that are gaining popularity in more recent years have helped change peoples perception of what a ukulele really sound like take that oli you have for example imagine having that 20years ago

This is so timely! I just listened to a James Hill podcast yesterday about him teaming up with an Indian artist to introduce playing Ragas on ukuleles - “Ragalele”. Yet another field never considered even by him!

Good conversation. The uke was my intro to music at an old age and it has been a wonderful journey.

Really beautiful and interesting ideas! The idea of art being passed on through generations and the expanding reach of what's possible is very inspiring. Ha, I guess we don't have to worry about any Ukebots any time soon; thank goodness AI don't have a full corporeal form. Yet. 😉😅😂 That thumbnail is hilarious by the way! 😅 Thank you for another perf lesson! 😊

I am going to see Jake this Friday and I can not wait!

Thank you, loved your content. Beautifully expressed 🎵🎶🎵

Great conversation Matt

Id prefer if the student plays both hands correctly !

Love this arrangement and great tutorial, thank you!

very inspiring

Excellent. Very clear...I managed to write down everything as you went. Fabulous.

maybe the quality control problem its cause of when you buy online ukes that usually happens

I had purchased some ukes, but after I watched YT "Honoka & Azita Miserlou", I immediately bought a Kanilea - and never looked back!!

Fantastic version.

That’s a happy sound

You are wonderful. I've learned so much. I'm kinda new. Thanks

What make of ukulele isn't just junk?

Many thanks Andrew for telling us how to practise! You are a great teacher!

Down to Earth --> Thanks!

Love this. Thank you Andrew and Mika. Happy to be a member of rockclass101 so I can download the tabs!

This is delightful. I love it. Thanks.

I love this lesson!

Very lovely tune indeed! It has the same fingerpicking pattern as Etude No. 5 which is my favorite RC101 etude. I may have missed if that was mentioned. The pattern just sounds different on low G, obvs. 😊 I just wanted to say really quick about the "red light approach" to ending the tune. Another way you could end the tune is the "yellow light approach" which is when you speed up crazy fast to make it through the yellow light last second before it turns red - but imagine applying that to playing this tune. 😂 I'm cry laughing about that... 😂😅😂 Definitely not recommending anyone do that while actually driving, of course... Cough... 😳 Thank you for your great lessons! 😊

What to do to keep all our used strings out of the landfill? Can they be recycled ♻️ or is there an organization that reuses or modifies them for other purpose? What can you tell me?

Something by beatles

Thank you 🎶

But what does the F mean above that? 4:35

You have a lot of tips I haven't seen elsewhere. I'm really SO happy to know about stretching the finger reach with regular practice! I can't reach more than three frets. I'll try turning my index to the side as you suggest and keep trying daily. Do you have any tips on reaching the pinky up to the G string? Impossible for me. I do drop my wrist down so my fingers can curl up over the strings. Also, why is it so hard to keep the first knuckle bent so the fingertip stays perpendicular to the string? Amazing how well Bernadette and Cynthia Lin can do it. With all my difficulties, it's weird that I keep trying to learn this instrument. Thanks for posting this great video!

This is an especially beautiful one. Lovely sound.

Loved this lesson, thank you❤

Haha! Super cool😂

Thank you. My friend and I followed along and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos. x

Awesome
