I’ve been playing ukulele for 10 years now and still had something to learn from this video. It’s clear it helps to learn when you engage all of your senses, not just hearing. You’re an inspiration, the patron saint of joy and patience. The physical embodiment of a visual aid. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Good answer… Johnny Cash may have tinkered around on the ukulele but he certainly was more of a guitar player as far as I know. Somewhere out there I’ll bet someone is photo shopped a ukulele it into a Johnny Cash picture… That would be funny to see ha ha 😉🎶 be well & happy playing!

I have been trying to reach him in our class, but he has periods of engaged and " I can't do it". This lesson has given me a fantastic idea for a fresh and engaging approach. I think he will buy in - thanks!

Hey Stu! Fine lesson. I tried the Luther Perkins' dollar trick but had to use a five spot as we Canadians use coins instead of bills in denominations of 1 and 2. But, in spite of being worth only $4 in US currency, the Canuck five spot had quite decent tone.

Temperature also effects the strings. Heat softens the material causing strings to be more plyablen cold tightens the strings causing them to tightening and more easily breaking. (Do not leave you uke in the car or uncontrolled temperature changes).
