19.16 Uke Talk & Playing Tips w/ Neal Chin + Tobias, Kalei, & Corey

[@GoA7250]

At 53 and taking up a stringed musical instrument (with some enthusiasm now), this helped this old man no end. Had my ukulele now for almost 4 years hardy played it. Watched this and not only can I now play cords and have some idea of what this magical little instrument can do...... the penny dropped also. What the exercises get you. Out of the box thinking.... Simply brilliant. Thank you.

[@girlmeetsuke2980]

I finally finished this video after watching parts throughout the day. That was awesome! I felt like I just sat in on a ukulele masters class. I know I’m going to be referring back to this. Thank you. ❤️

[@poorbadger]

Such a great episode! Instruments, tone, technique and jokes. Love the large ensemble format.

[@winc06]

You guys are doing a grand thing. Best two hours for me in a long time. Thanks. I did buy a Kanilea from you a couple of years ago.

[@SunnyKim_]

This has been my favorite one yet. There are all kinds of resources out there for new players but I have a hard time finding things that challenge me without feeling totally overwhelmed and this fit the bill perfectly.

[@audreygiamlayhoon]

Rhythm is easier felt than taught😜 Tobias is inspiring me to learn more about campanella. Thanks, always , for sharing your experience through your chats!

[@NorwegianUke]

This podcast is so good guys. Thank you all so much for sharing your "secrets"! Super helpful, mahalo 😊

[@CGT-lu8gw]

You guys provide so much information for us nubies. It's absolutely INVALUABLE! Please don't stop doing these sessions, ever! Thanks!

[@marcguerino5645]

"Don't get in the way of yourself" honestly some of the best advice as far as practicing goes. Great stuff!

[@dbkoala]

Love when it starts with a jam session....

[@adrimacfer1815]

Tons of useful information and the time lapse guide is really convenient. Thank you!

[@juddeemaxwell7590]

Mary Had a Little Lamb, has never sounded so lovely!

[@dannyjonze]

amazing show, really enjoyed it. the teaching stuff is amazing at this level. cheers

[@yellowrosecottag]

Love your guys videos and instrument sound samples.Can I confess to chilling out on the sound samples after a stressful day of work.

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

Dual or even triple purpose! No need for confessing, we do it too ;) Glad you like them 🤙🏼

[@6vibrations748]

Can’t tell you guys how much I appreciate these. Love all the personalities and info and awesome playing, thanks

[@esemprun]

I really enjoy these podcasts! Thank you to everyone of you for sharing your music, insides and knowledge.

[@doodica193]

👏👏 Excellent! Loved the different styles of Mary Had A Little Lamb. So much talent (and hard work) represented! I look forward to each episode - and they just keep getting better. Just love you guys! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@juddeemaxwell7590]

What a fun class! Great information! New ideas! Make as many mistakes as you can; playing F on just the E string; playing slow and clean; ways to learn Campanella style; and weight loss tips from Corey 😊. (By the way, you look great, Corey.) The descending and ascending arpeggios would be great exercise. Great pinky practice. Practice, practice, practice. Need to find the sheet music. 😊❤️😊💜😊💚😊💙

[@Thesappysongwriter]

This was awesome! Wish I had people like that to jam with.

[@april7643]

Andrew is so dang modest! Did not even include his name in the description...you know he is really good and just hangs in the shadow of all these uke stars. We heard you!!

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

lol, I can either be modest or I can be delusional. Those are my choices :D

[@yvonnedoherty7666]

I simply loved Corey playing on the redwood Dl Noble tenor ukulele. Do you sell this model and what price please

[@raymondchew8894]

Nice and fun jamming.

[@3rg0]

What Corey said ... Practice, practice, practice. I find a lot of ukulele resources online are great, but they'd only get you so far in your ukulele journey. It'd be useful if there was a resource doing the kinds of exercises Corey spoke about out there, the kind of skill building that allows people who do the process to then go off and extrapolate on their own.

[@mjl.9-19]

True; "slow songs are the hardest..." Kalei. Fitting in licks with so much time space overall, throughout a whole verse, is intense. It's like an optical (audio) illusion.

[@pkijan]

Thank you all! Great inspiration (even for those who don't prefer a fast learning shortcuts.. 😉).

[@4524-p1l]

Greatest jam ever. Loved it

[@yvonnedoherty7666]

Thankyou for this very informative video although I am a very bad beginner I have received a lot of insight

[@dororonnmarco]

The talking & playing are as well enjoyable! I really take these Uke Talks as kinds of radio podcasting & keep them playing. And, may I ask for sheet music of Corey's playing of Merry Go Round of Life (1:54:29)? This has been my favourite song from Ghibli! Please see if you guys would have spare time to transcribe it!

[@cindytaylor5962]

Loved it thanks for all the tips !

[@dasquirrelisme]

Neil is the man. What a nice progression 31:30

[@ukulelechriswilson]

Woooooow Super jam ! Well done .

[@yellowrosecottag]

Having access to his music online is fantastic! It can propel a beginner forward where they would just stagnate with strumming chords. I don't think it kills creativity at all. At some point the beginner has all the skills to find their own way and work out their own improvisations. So sorry Tobias I don't think I agree with you on that point.

[@TobiasElof]

Oh it is fantastic. There's no doubt that having access to all the great information on how to play 'ukulele allows the players to play more! It's really amazing times we live in where most stuff are available right at your hands. Players can download tabs and listen to so much different kinda music and play it straight away. On the other hand, I do feel that students end up copying more than creating. I see quite a few people being very good at reading tabs, but when tabs or sheet music isn't available, most people are not in the head space of having to struggle hard for learning the piece and therefore won't try to figure out the music themselves. I do think struggling with a piece of music for months calls for a different kinda attention - where the player has to make more conscious decisions and plenty of valuable mistakes. Eventually they have to listen more and maybe it could aspire players to not play exactly how the tabs and music was played. That being said, I'm sure that this isn't the case for everyone and there certainly are plenty of great players out there nowadays.

[@alecbayes4251]

Really nice Black Label sound. What strings are on it ?

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

Those are KoAloha fluorocarbon low G. Closest string on the market is the Worth CT-LG. Mahalo.

[@snickyoda]

Thank you very much for being honest. Even though you use the same song bit to demo ukes, you are adjusting how you play the strings to compensate for weaknesses in the uke. I appreciate the skill. It does not help me compare the ukes or learn about those weaknesses. What should I do?

[@TobiasElof]

Practice and listen

[@143jeg]

That Moore Bettah ukulele is about the most beautiful looking and sounding thing I've ever seen. I think its worth more than my car though... and I have a pretty nice car.

[@botecfud]

Great episode as always! Thanks for the discount code for the shirts, 2 shirts but then shipping was $14 back to the main land, guess I better plan a trip to pickup in person :)

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

Sorry about that. The products are just linked to our shipping accounts. We credit back when it charges you more than our cost. Not trying to profit on shipping.

[@botecfud]

@@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS great to know. Thank you!

[@pixpusher]

In other words... practice... every day... build muscle memory.

[@yvonnedoherty7666]

How do you make sound if playing scales left hand only. Apology if this seems stupid

[@paulmccarthyaz]

What's the name of the Norwegian folk tune Tobais was playing?

[@TobiasElof]

It's a Swedish polska called Jässpodspolska

[@paulmccarthyaz]

Tobias Elof Tobiaaaass! Thank you!!

[@edufernandez5037]

The... u.. ku... leleeee.... reviewwwww❤

[@TobiasElof]

Podcast

[@JodyM2]

Could we get a Sandstorm Tutorial?

[@kawikadee9670]

Cool, the first song made me wanted to eat moussaka and yell "Opa!"

[@spotteddogmemphis]

I love how all you locals are on island time. Haha.

[@leandrocsdonato]

👏👍👏👍

[@সুমন6565]

my love gitar.

[@ivanterrible7362]

You should go back to the editing bay & cut this down to 8 fifteen minute videos. It'll get more views, help more people and as a bonus, generate more ad revenue for you. There is a ton of good info here, but not everyone has 2 hrs to spend. Otherwise, great job.
