Aloha, Patrons!

In late March, I traveled to Tokyo and Taipei and had ✨the best time✨.  Food, friends, cherry blossoms, practicing my language skills, getting to know the local ukulele communities in each city (visit my instagram or facebook to catch up on my travels).  An unexpected treat was meeting up with my Japanese ukulele friend Yoshi Hana and recording this classic song together.  I taught "Sukiyaki" for our April Live Lesson, and that lesson is now available for all Patrons ($1+).  Chord chart and details below!

Watch "Sukiyaki (上を向いて歩こう)": https://youtu.be/Rug5UJt9-KM 

Please watch, like, comment, and share.  Your support makes a difference! And please take a moment to subscribe to Yoshi's channel as well, she definitely carries the song.

We recorded this video at the Kiwaya Ukulele Museum, who also hosted my Tokyo meet & greet, where I got to meet many local Patrons.😊 Watching this video brings back the joy and excitement of exploring Tokyo.  I can't wait to return, and I look forward to meeting more folks on the upcoming U3 Tour (U3 West Coast Tour starts next Saturday!!). 🥳

Get the Chord Chart + Full Lesson (all Patrons, $1+): https://www.patreon.com/posts/80159684 

All Patrons (pay what you can, $1+) have access to the full lesson of this song.  Click the link above, and the chord chart pdf is attached at the bottom of the post. Thank you to my Patreon community for supporting this video and lesson!

See you Thursday 2:30pm Hawaii Time / 5:30pm Pacific time for our monthly All-Levels Live Lesson.  I'll be teaching "Valerie," which U3 performed with Craig and Sarah at the end of the U3 Backyard Concert.  Hope to see you online Thursday, or see you on one of our tour stops!

I genuinely appreciated your effort in singing along with Yoshi in Japanese. It is remarkable and inspiring.
