I watched that video 6 years ago, when I start playing Ukulele and I was AMAZED by his playing, never thought this can be possible for me to be that « good » . And 6 years later I can do 80% of what he shows. Even if you thought that is impossible, trust me , it is.

I've been coming back to this video since I first heard of Jake in February this year. When I first watched your lessons I thought "WOW" that's amazing I could never do any of that. over the months more of it started to look possible, well finally I'm now able to do some of the techniques that you kindly shared here many thanks for the lessons and all you do for people peace and the UKULELE
@cdb-ez6xg8 жыл бұрын
+jangchubTashi Thanks for the perspective. I came across this video about a month ago after getting my uke, and Jake just blew me away. Well, I've taken my third lesson with an instructor and found myself coming back here to practice in-between. While most, especially the ten finger stroke, is still beyond where I'm at, I can see myself getting it one day!
@btrs19948 жыл бұрын
+jangchubTashi dont forget to be realistic - you'll have to do a bit of work whichever method you follow for learning to play the Ukelele I've been studying teaching yourself uke and discovered a fantastic resource at Arthurs Uke Blog (google it if you are interested)
