Totally. Tarantino is a genius. Dig into some of Chuck’s 3 disc Chess recordings collection…if I could hold my iPod up to you 😃 Chucks got some great songwriting skills. Pasa Lo Bien con su musica 🎶🤙🙌

I started playing the uke 6 months ago. I thought this lesson was way over my ability level but I kept plugging away at it. I finally mastered the piano solo, it took about 2 weeks but it's done and fun to play. Thanks for a great lesson of a classic Chuck.

What a genius was Chuck... Great dance music, great lyrics, great showman...

Brilliant teaching. There is something here for every level AND it’s super fun.

It just occurred to me how many people are successfully learning your well appreciated free lessons. I now listen deeply. Tanks.

Hi I'm Bob Harris in South Wales in the UK. I've been knocking myself out for the last 2 years trying to get to grips with the guitar. After those 2 years I am no nearer stopping my fingers touching the string next to the one I need to play! The C chord seems almost impossible! Anyway I changed to a Uke, thank goodness I did, I can now play chords at last! Can I say that your site and your presentations are fantastic, thank you so much you have taught me so much. You sir are an inspiration!

Hey Bob, thanks for writing… where do you find these lessons helpful and I hope that you’ll subscribe for more videos. Lightning up the touch on the left hand is one of the most difficult things to do… It’s easy to describe with words but it’s a feeling that I try to lead people into in my lessons… It’s a touch that and I’ll keep emphasizing it in every video because it’s just so darn important to lighten up our touch. Focus on the fretting hand thumb being really soft curl the fingers and just push as little as you need to… Wishing you well I hope to visit south wales some day I’ve heard it’s lovely!!

It's getting there but I'm in too much of a rush. I grew up in the 50's & 60's, fantastic musical era. Be great to see you in South Wales.

Another song that I've been doing for years that only requires two chords; "Feeling Alright", C7 and F7... and I usually do it as a mash up with "You Can't Always Get What You Want", (although that does introduce a two additional chords, ((the ii and the V)) into the mix... LOL). Lot's of fun doing that one, and I just started working it out on my concert ukulele, and will also be learning it on my baritone ukulele. I'm Such a newbie on ukulele the chord shifts are clunky but with practice I'll smooth it out and it will be in my new ukulele repertoire. Thanks for the lessons, Cheers!

Thank you for visiting Bellingham WA! I was so thrilled to see that my fav youtube teacher was in my home town! I played your Kansas City arrangement at an open mic two days ago and crashed and burned hard. My first experience playing the 12 bar blues with walking notes and the flourishes and the turnaround and my mind went flat. Anyhow, rather to have tried and failed than played something easier. Thank you for all that you do. You might just make a musician out of me someday. Haha.

Hi Penn, I wish that you had attended my session at B.U.G. (Bellingham Ukulele Group)...I may be back in September of 2018... That Kansas City riff is tricky - so HATS OFF TO YOU for trying it in person! No worries...all it means is the riff just needs to be more internalized...go very sow as you practice...see if you can play it accurately at a slow speed while staying in "the flow"...when you can do this, turn up the speed. Memorize it & after some time f repeating this process, you'll find that you'll be able to access the internalized riff ("vocabulary") with greater & greater ease. Thanks for watching & wishing you well!

@PennMiniken

I was at your BUG workshop. LOVED IT. The teaching was fun and your Beatles Medley was mind blowing. I am playing the riff a number of times each day to do just what you said, transfer that song/style from explicit behavior to implicit ability. Looking forward to it be part of my 'vocabulary'. Thanks again!

You rock. The song sounds familiar.

@UkuleleZen

Thanks for watching! G & G7 are interchangeable...both serve the function of "dominant" chord in the Key of C. The G7 is a more colorful chord since it has the 7th added. I offer both chords because if you change from G to G7, you'll hear a more colorful sound - adding more tension to the progression which resolves to C. Hope this helps! Please subscribe for more videos & goodies...jam along :). All the best, Stu
