Aloha, uke friends!

Happy to share another new video - it seems I'm finally settling into a rhythm for producing YouTube videos in my Hawai'i studio, which will hopefully get me back on track with a regular video release schedule (and help get my channel to 1 Million Subscribers!).  I sincerely appreciate all of your support, through positive comments, positive energy, sharing the joy of ukulele with those around you, and spreading the word about my music.

I taught "Something" by The Beatles (written by George Harrison) to the Patrons back in December 2018 for our monthly Live Lesson.  I adore this arrangement - the variety of riff, picking patterns, and strumming feels very "me," and I'm glad to finally share it with the world.

For our Intermediate Live Jam last week, I wanted to teach the topic of how to level-up your practice, especially when you've hit a plateau.  This song felt like the perfect tool for working on rhythm, tone, and dynamics, especially when transitioning from riff to finger-picking to strumming.  If you're curious about how to apply a metronome and practice with the goal of real skill development vs just learning new songs, I encourage you to upgrade to Intermediate and watch the recorded lesson.

Intermediate-level Patrons will also get access to our Intro to Hula workshop this Thursday, June 30th, which I'm super excited to share.  Click the linked post for more info, details for tuning in live will be shared the day before the workshop.

Enjoy the new video, and hope to see you online!
