I really appreciate these videos. It’s fascinating to hear not only the music, but also the musicians talking about playing the music. It’s a real treat even for this hobbyist ukulele player.

Don’t we all wish an ‘Oli could make us sound as good as Corey and Kalei? They sound pretty darn terrific, especially these two. (And the guys, as well.) And that’s coming after some very high-end instruments that sounded spectacular themselves. I loved the tribute to Joe Hisaishi. I love 3/4 time. You all are the best. Make me smile every time.

Kalei’s tips are really helpful. Thank you.

Love the FULL clear voice of the 'Oli and how you can really play with color and tone! Is it warm? Yes! Is it bright? Yes! I'd love to see Ian O'Sullivan do like dueling banjos as as solo and switching between warm and bright the way he can play with color and tone! That'd be so awesome!

Was listening to the First piece while on my way home from work it was my work bestie last day(April 7th 2024) at our store and I was obviously feeling some type of way bittersweet really and that piece was the perfect send off for her imo ty guys 💗

[@ronats]

I think this is my most favorite episode 🥰 we need an episode where Kalei get to play lots of Hans Zimmers music

Men…. Thank you … I think there is no other word. Thank you 🙏. That intro … 🤯… Tips after …. 🎉 Just wow… I have listen to it when I go to my work and when I come back to home… Wow… If I have just one question, it’s about part like at 4:49 . Corey and Kalei do a lot of time those kind of movement, it’s like a scale , but sometimes there are half step And I always the feeling that the « movement » and the fingers are the same . Is it really a scale or more like a lick ? What musical theory I need to understand how to build the same kind of things and can be practice it? Again thank you 🙏

[@ukemaniak]

Andrew , thanks for your question about the voicing right in the beginning. I was watching and trying to figure out the chords and voicings applied. It was amazing ! 🥰

[@hands_on_lanzon]

Of course I'm watching. 😁 Man, that I'iwi is tempting... cousin of the Ko'olau. Another great episode, gents!

[@isaacbulay4061]
