P.s. You knew Thich Nhat Hanh and / or his Plum Village??? Such a wonderful thing!! You are a very, very lucky and blessed man. I'm totally in love with his totally pure, sweet, high, wonderful soul. He was -but I like to think he still is, somewhere, may be in a flower or a cloud or a gentle breeze- the wisest and nicer man on this Earth. (I meditate, but on my own. It's not the same thing, without a guide, a teacher or, at least, a "walking partner" with whom to share the journey, build strength on each other, help each other. It's definitely not the same thing). But thank you for giving me the idea of music and uke as a form of meditation. I' experiencing a period of immense pain for a loved one who is slowly dying. I live in an abyss of suffering. I cry almost all day, the rare times that I feel a little better I even feel guilty playing and having, in the music, some peacefull moment, even if it's the only thing in the world that makes me feel good (most of all I like composing songs)... But you suggest that I can consider music as a form of meditation. This idea it's beautiful... You don't know me, we live so far eachother, but you helped me so much. Thanks. A big hug.

Yeah mate ,! I never can play and sing at the same time ! Bout time someone mentioned this ,!?
Greatest "Don't worry" tutorial I've seen! Thank you! (Can I do a question? in 1:02 the pattern you play looks at me a little different from the written one. It seems to me more like "D DU UD ". But surely I'm wrong. Can you help me, please? Thank you). Your esxplication is so complete! And you teaching method is "calm and slow" as a newbye needs. Your English is very easy to understand, too, because you speaks slowly and cleary. You are my favorite Uke Tutorialist on the net! (Excuse me for my bad English)
excellent playing, just wishi could see the chords on she schreen as yu played them.. and the finger picking as well

Hi Stu. Thanks for your prolific output! Can you say a little about that use you’re playing in this one? Is it an Earnest? Someone else? Is it made to look vintage or is it actually an older use? Very cool headstock and cutaway. Peace.

Hey David… Glad you’re enjoying the videos. I try to create some variety for all levels and interests :-) that ukulele is made by someone who lives in Maine named Joel Eckhaus. Google his name and ukulele or Ernest instruments and you’ll find him. He’s a great guy, a great entertainer and parody song writer and a very good luthier as well. :-)

Hmmm....sorry for the trouble. It's at my Patreon Page - search on the posts tab. Songsheet at the bottom. Here's a link: www.patreon.com/posts/dont-worry-be-25065516
I wanted to learn this song, because in this age of the pandemic, I'm trying to focus on happy songs. However, when I try to play the melody from the tab sheet, I need a low G string to play that single low A note. You are not playing with a low G string in the video, so how are doing that?
