Greetings with a big smile from Iceland, love your way of teaching.

[@lesgill8490]

THANKS FROM THE U.K. EACH DAY IN THE BEDROOM, PRACTICE.

[@jeffcoursey4516]

I live in Ky, and recently took a trip to Washington state. Over 7000 miles and played my uke in every state we went through. Love your teaching.

Hi Kevin, I am a 75 year old practicing in lockdown in West Sussex UK. I have been playing for a few months with a class for retired people but all that is on hold now. Being a late starter has its problems, stiff fingers etc. but I enjoy your videos and although I can’t always keep up tp speed I do as you say and go back, practice and try again. Keep up the good work. Maureen Ps Beautiful baby and dog!

[@helenwelch8187]

Best teacher I have found! I’m on the Oregon coast. Thanks for all these videos Kevin.

[@MultiRuffian]

I'm in Leeds UK, Kevin. These chord progressions are really useful. Love your encouragement to smile as we play. The pace of the tutorial is just right. You really are a gifted and excellent tutor, Kevin, so it's a big thank-you from me.

[@MrSpockdavid]

Playing in Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪. Just got my first ukulele a few weeks back at the start of the lockdown to help me get through it and I’m loving it 😊. I’m currently following your kickstart and strumming series and you are by far the best teacher I’ve seen on KZbin 👍. Never taught I would be able to progress as fast as I do, and it’s all thanks to you Kevin, so keep up the good work and hopefully we all come out of this crisis better and stronger than before 🤠

[@martinadebie4092]

Hé landgenoot! Ik ben ook gestart met uke leren tijdens de lockdown! En idd, Kevin is the best! Ik woon in Berlaar, niet zo ver weg hè. Veel plezier met het verder leren spelen. Martine

[@jerryvarnes3490]

Hello from Mount Dora, Florida. Loved this, looking forward to the next one. I'm a newbie, have had my uke for a little more than three weeks. Thanks!

[@lindagreen3685]

In my studio in Maine.... I love playing with you...it pushes me a bit to play faster and in rhythm!!!

[@sheilawarner3900]

Playing along with you from Seaford, Sussex in the UK. Just love your videos and they have really helped me. I started playing in January but broke my left wrist in February so have had a bit of a ‘break’ from the Uke too! This has been a bit of a struggle for me to do the chord changes, but I will keep practising!

[@HeikoAndresen]

Thanks Kevin, yet another lesson of how to have fun with the uke - greetings from Frankfurt/Germany!

[@AllForUke]

Hi 👋 I think of Germany often I as drink many of your fine lagers. Munich Gold is my favorite of late.

[@joraller9338]

Love these video lessons, super helpful and easy to listen to. Would love if you could do a tutorial on the medici theme tune, I've come across a great guitar version and would love to be able to do it on the ukulele. 🤷‍♂️🙂

🇦🇺 in 🇮🇹! Thank you so much Kevin!

[@snoopaka]

I practice in front of the computer while watching KZbin videos. I also love doing Ukulele play alongs. I play a baritone so I have to know baritone chords and ignore the chord diagrams shown on screen. A lot of fun to be able to play along and learn at the same time. This video was fun. I'll keep watching your content.

[@phyllisanderson4853]

This was really good for your newer people and also for us ukuers that have been playing a while but miss our jams.

[@niaalmera2004]

[@kaywinton1097]

I have had a uke for about 2 months. Brought it so I had something more to think about than the pandemic. It and this series has made things a lot easier. I play the uke instead of worrying about everything else.

Thanks so much for starting this play along Kevin, I really enjoyed it! It is so much easier and far more fun playing together!!!. I find it really helps with the rhythm and speed, encourages you to keep going. I am from isolated Zimbabwe, so its wonderful to know there is a uke family world wide playing together.

[@karaikenberry9488]

Hello, I’m here in the turbulent USA. This is just what I needed. I watched the strumming and finger picking videos and have practiced them over and over. I kept thinking I needed to play with people to really progress but...Covid-19... Playing along with this is just the right kind of practice and community I need right now.

[@abhanshusingh6333]

Playing from India!

[@pennyglass420]

Hi Kevin. I finished your Kickstart series and started the tutorial for Neil Young's Heart of Gold. Still struggling with one cord change, but enjoying it. Found this series and I know it will push me...that's what I need. I am a retired teacher and I want to comment that you have just such a great teaching style. You have a gift. Thank you. Almost forgot....usually play outside in my lanai.

[@Mega10point]

Really enjoying playing these Uke lessons, especially today, playing together. The last few weeks we have been on vacation at a cottage with our family. I have been playing beside the lake either at sunrise or sunset - heavenly!! Thanks Kevin Mississauga, Canada

[@brianrevell8413]

Playing in a cold raining lockdown UK, trying to learn to play uku. It helps to pass the time, and I'am enjoying it thanks to you Kevin.

[@MrKelz31]

I am sitting here in Adelaide South Australia. I love your channel and have enjoyed all your series.

[@TaraMorganCoach]

Hi Kevin! I'm on Vashon Island, WA - really love that I found your videos - best teacher! My question is: I feel like I expend a lot of energy keeping the uke braced against me/holding it up. And I'd like to play standing up sometimes, too. Should I get a strap? Recommend a good one?

[@stella1455]

Always love the way you teach and loving the new cushions too!!

[@RebekahJaneIX]

Hi Kevin, I am most grateful for this blessing of studying and practicing my Ukulele with you.(Concert Martin Uke - purchased 10/20-2018). I reside in northeast Alabama. ADONAI blessed you with amazing gifts, talent and ability. Thank you for sharing yours with the masses. Agape, Rebekah Psalm 34:3

Here from Texas 🇺🇸 this video was great.

[@janealan6912]

Loving all your series Kevin. Spent 3 hours today practicing on my magic fluke soprano Flea while sitting on the loveseat in my tiny bachelor apartment in a senior's bldg. Not a good position but not a lot of options. It's Sunday and guiet on the Covid-19 front so I read thru all the comments on your different series to amuse myself. I see that you are very popular in England and Australia and have some fans in my country, Canada 🇨🇦. I absolutely love to see where your followers are living. But where are all the people in the American states? Come on people. Post your city and state. The whole world is in lockdown so let's connect and support one another in our time of need. We're all starving 😫 to connect and the ukulele is a wonderful way to do just that. I love to hear the little details that followers leave in their comments 😍. I get the ideas that people leave for future possibilities: baritone series, singing series and my interest, music theory 👌. You can do it Kevin. Some day you may win an award for increasing ukulele sales worldwide just when the world most needed music to get thru a crisis. 2nd stage Covid-19 is coming in September and we will be needing you for a long time to come. Keep up the series 👏. Love the birds, the dog, the cat and the baby. All the best from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

[@dunjaroberts3566]

I’m based in South Wales near Chepstow. I’ve only been playing the Ukelele for a few weeks and am loving it. I was a flautist in my youth so this completely different! Your videos are great.

[@darrenszefer5373]

Hi, just started playing 2 months ago, I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 and got to say loving playing and following your tutorial sessions. Just finished the 1st kick-start. I work for a mental health service and trying to promote it as its helped me and when I'm playing (trying to play 🤣) the distraction and joy works great. Thanks for the putting it out there 👍👍

[@bronwynwilliams827]

Hi from Queensland, Australia. Your channel, and my uke, have been helping to keep me busy in these strange times, and I'm definitely improving. I loved this Play Together, because it took away the added element of singing lyrics at the same time as practising strums and chords. (Though I have also enjoyed the song play-alongs too.) Keep up the great work. You are a great teacher.

Hi Keving! I'm playing from Barcelona, Spain. Glad to find you through the internet. I bought my first uke two months ago and after completing the kickstart series I'm impress how comfortable I feel in such a short period of time. Love the way you make it seem so easy and how you go through different speeds so we can move to one another in the way we feel confortable with it. Thanks you so much. Keep going and keep smiling with each video!
