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.

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.

Thanks Graham! kzread.info/head/PLsl7OyjF5SLNt6O6wmt8WK07K2OJ5qgmg
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.

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.
I'm doing and enjoying it!
