I bought my uke bass a year ago but I could not find a physical teacher to teach me, so it just stayed in a corner of my place. Because I want something "bass" for our seniors uke group, I decided to search the internet for tutorial and found this website. Thank you for your very clear instructions. Funny thing, when I did something right I smile at you, my teacher! By the way I will be 79 this April and to learn play the uke bass is a gift I want to give myself. Hope I can learn something before then to surprise my group. Our group, which performs at nursing homes, plays old ditties loved by the residents (ages ranging from 65 above). Thank you for your teaching. I enjoyed my first lesson.

[@UkuleleWales]

Such a lovely comment Nona, Thank You so much. I'm always glad to hear how I am helping, but have trally made me smile with your words. Very much appreciated, from your teacher. :-)

Coincidentally, I am also 79. Thanks for the encouragement by example.

Awesome! 70 years young. Just started uke bass. Glad I found you!

[@rudiratlos8713]

In fact, everything 's said in the comments already, but I feel the necessity to thank you personally. Got a Bass Uke as a gift from a friend, along with an amplifier LANEY Linebacker30. Haven't played any Bass before and was looking for help to get started. You're just, I make it short, a bliss and so talented in teaching beginners, so clear and motivating easy to follow your lessons. Would like to give you a big hug. So glad having found you 😊👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you sooooo much😊.

I wished there was more diversity of instruments when i was younger, the recorder quickly killed any interest i had in music at the time. But now i rediscovered it with my wife, i started play the Cavaquinho (the Grand father of the Uke) and now the Bass ukelele. I Wish i had you has a teach back then.

[@UkuleleWales]

I was so happy reading your comment Diane, you sound soooooo happy! TBH, I was quite suprised that there weren't more lessons aimed at bass uke rather than just bass guitar. Not something I had originally planned really but as a long time bass teacher, and loving my bass ukes I thought I could be helpful and have fun with my basses. 3!! Fair play, impressive! LOL What blue bass is it? I'm intrigued......

[@lunadivine23]

Ukulele Wales There are so few Ubass tutorials! Learning from standard bass can be challenging, especially for positioning techniques - so I am so grateful to see your videos! I got the blue one from AliExpress and she is STUNNING! took a couple of photos and would gladly share them with you ! (How?)

Hi, After learning Ukulele as my first musical instrument 3 years ago at age 60 I really enjoy being able to play and sing many of the songs which shaped my musical tastes. I’ve always fancied having a go at Bass but tried and struggled with conventional Bass Guitar learning resources then gave up. This lesson is EXACTLY what I need and I can already tell your teaching style will allow me to play along with my recently formed beginner Ukulele Group very quickly. So I’ve just won a used Kala U Bass on eBay and can’t wait for it to arrive so I can work through your lessons.

Lovely video. I just bought a new Kala U-Bass. I want to create a virtual band so have my normal uke, banjelele uke and now a U-Bass. You teach similarly to how I teach when I am, not currently, took James Hill's certification, have been playing for 11 years now. Your tips on holding the Bass uke is so essential to getting off on the right foot. I haven't even tuned mine yet, it just arrived yesterday and this first video is a great start to me getting started on my 'virtual band'. The reason I'm doing this is to create videos, using multiple tracks to send up to a senior's centre (it's actually a care facility) that I used to play piano and my ukulele (you can't visit them right now so they are missing out). Of course the songs are quite old but I'm familiar with them and your lessons will be invaluable to getting me up to speed quickly. Thank you so much for posting these. You know how to teach....... :-) And though they didn't send it with a battery for the amplifier/tuner, I have a couple externals and we're now tuned......this is going to be fun......

[@UkuleleWales]
