What you are teaching is valuable! And these people saying they don't want to pay is upsetting. You've done a lot of work already, and I think you would do well as a member of the Patreon Community. Swift Lessons and Cynthia Lin are excellent models, and I know you could build a tribe of followers. Love what you're doing.

[@RockClass101]

Awesome to hear! I play a Kanile'a K-1 concert. You can get one from Mike @ UkeRepublic.com. Tell him I sent ya!

[@zapyt735]

Sure! also, are there any cheaper ukes you recommend for beginner-intermediate level players?

[@RockClass101]

I really dug the Pono Mango uke. It's around $400 USD or just under, maybe $350. May be good for you! Check it out!

I'd very much appreciate your take on "Lieberstraum", since you play Fur Elise so beautifully. BTW, what brand/model strings are you using on the Kanilea - I'd like to try them out on my K-2T, which currently has New Nylgut strings? Thank you!

[@anamedallo9317]

Woww loved it

[@lancehewison]

I feel like a few notes are missing in the tabs. On the 2nd variation of the Am section right before the 2-3-5 your hand does this really cool shift lower down the neck and it seems you pluck an extra note. Am I just imagining that, or is it omitted from the tabs for some reason? It’s right at around 00:27 when the hand jumps. Thanks so much! I will try to slow the video down to find the note.

[@RockClass101]

Ohh, I get asked this every so often. It's just something I do, pay no attention to it :) But, the tab is correct - no extra notes :)

[@SuperErol123]

Loveettttt ❤❤❤

[@sezzifying]

Amazing

[@UmaChakraborty-hl3du]

10:42 I find the 3rd string has no role at this point. Then what is the use of freding that? Please notice carefully.

[@RockClass101]

A lot of folks are familiar with fretting the E7 shape, which is why I suggested it. But you can leave that finger off, it's not needed.

[@chloec7684]

I think I love the captions lmao

[@Essays4College]

That click at the end 1:17 is that from the mic or the uke? Can't seem to get my strings to make that kind of sound.

[@RockClass101]

Hi Jenny! Sounds like my fingernails made the attack of the harmonics brighter. Here's an extra lesson on harmonics, just in case you need it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWq8dWSuq6mgqrs.

[@ewstap9040]

[@WitchDoctor87]

Is this a concert or tenor ukulele? Also beautiful ukulele, I just started 3 days ago. I have a concert, I meant to get the tenor. However I actually have been liking the harp like sound of a concert.

[@RockClass101]

Thank you! It is a concert sized uke. If you need some ideas on where to start, check out this page: rockclass101.com/learning-paths/. Let me know if you have any questions 😊

[@WitchDoctor87]

@RockClass101 I have a concert, so that's great. I want to buy a tenor next. I'm planning on having both types. I am not sure what brand to go for. I want to focus mainly on Spanish and classical finger style.

[@RockClass101]

Reach out to Mike at: www.ukerepublic.com/contact-us.html He'll be better able to answer that question. Tell him Rock Class 101 sent ya 😊

[@bhawanabiswakarma630]

Can you please do a tutorial for Naruto theme song please? This one is totally amazing helped me a lot thank you very much ❤️

[@lancehewison]

Just curious: what’s the point of putting down the middle finger on the E7 chord if the C string is not picked during that portion of the song? It sounds identical without the C string pressed.

[@RockClass101]

Good question, Lance! 2 reasons, the most important one is if you accidentally hit the open C sting, that note will clash horribly with the E chord you are playing out of. Second, most of us have established the muscle memory to form the E7, so it feels natural to just form the full chord.

[@lancehewison]

Rock Class 101 Thanks so much! That makes a lot of sense. Great video. I’ll also fo the full E7 from now on during that part. Newbie here :-) I am playing with a wound low G string. I assume I just play it the same as in the tab?

[@RockClass101]

My pleasure! And yes, the same. Low G will work for this song, but keep in mind that when we arrange, we take advantage of high or low G tuning; so it will always sound best on its intended instrument. We've got around 25 tunes for low G, if you wanna check em' out: rockclass101.com/low-g-ukulele-songs/

Why do we need the middle finger on the C (for the E7) if we don’t use it?

[@RockClass101]

Good question, Tomily! 2 reasons, the most important one is if you accidentally hit the open C sting, that note will clash horribly with the E chord you are playing out of. Second, most of us have established the muscle memory to form the E7, so it feels natural to just form the full chord.

[@tzm777]

Rock Class 101 Thanks; that helps. You’re a great teacher in this tutorial, very patient and clear. I checked out your site today and it has a wealth of helpful information as well. I really appreciate how you intersperse things about playing dynamics and emotion - that makes such a difference between just knowing how to play the notes and really feeling the music (and making your audience feel it too)! After learning ‘Für Elise’, I plan to take some of your courses from the beginner level and hopefully beyond... Thanks for all that you do; I’m excited about playing the uke again! 😄🎶✌🏾

[@RIP123]

How do you make the uke sound so clear? do you have a really good microphone/studio or is it just a work of postproduction?

[@RockClass101]

No mic, I plug in direct using an LR-Baggs pickup. Kanile'a's are designed to have a strong signal output, producing a very clear tone. We're actually going to have a Q&A soon with their owner, keep an eye out for that video as I'm sure we will talk about this point.

Does anyone know if this works on Soprano? Going down to seven makes it way too pitchy

[@RockClass101]

You can play this arrangement on soprano. It sounds like the issue is with the ukulele itself. You may need to have it set up to correct intonation, so that note pitches remain in-tune throughout the entire span of the neck.
