I'm mainly a Blues guitarist. watching your fretting hand sold me in the first few seconds.

[@JohnOhkumaThiel]

1:49 And now you got the 12/8! You sure you're not a Blues guitarist? I'm going to be doing this one lesson for weeks, because these are the pro level techniques no one is teaching for ukulele. Just this one, we don't do that on guitar. This is great!

[@adriann7645]

I really enjoyed this, got a good smile. Gold dust at my feet, on the sunny side of the street. Thank you.

[@radiantkoala]

Wow, Stu, that's so happy and great fun. My husband and I messing around with this in lockdown. Smiling broadly. Thanks!

I love this song and I've been looking for a really good arrangement of this to do at jams, for family or on streets of San Francisco. So thank you Stuart! Still owe you that drink!

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks Rudy - one of my faves too :) Would love to have a toast with you in SF someday! Hope to get out to the Bay Area in fall 2020...if there's a Uke club interested, would be delighted to present a live event! [e-mail] Thanks & be well.

Yay! Thank you! Keep on jamming 🙏

[@UkuleleZen]

Cool! Songs like this are GREAT for expanding your chord vocabulary in branching into swing jazz standards 😉

[@503dude8]

That was great. Thanx Stu!

[@UkuleleZen]

Nice! Did you get the jam track? Hope you enjoy.

[@503dude8]

Beutiful voice...

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks for watching Rossi :)

[@secretPENGUIN69]

what length do you keep your finger nails, & which nails do you prefer to grow?

[@ianlindsay8557]

Great lesson stu .I think this one needs a vocal lesson too.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks Ian...hitting that high note on the word "hat" is tricky. If you focus on the shape of your mouth as it creates the vowel sound, you can work to direct the note into that part of the mouth...helps to sing it in tune. (A singer 's trick :)

[@csmihaly]

Loving the Yin Yang symbol.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks...I had the chance to design my instrument and add this symbol of balance. Tao te Ching, Qigong - part of my daily life. :) Be well Csaba - hope you're enjoying your day & jamming your heartssong out to the world.

[@csmihaly]

Mine, also. Lived in Japan for years, practiced Zen meditation in the shrine under masters, while learning Aikido. Also, I used to practice acupuncture, initiated in Prana Nadi and ReiKi, TaiChi, so I'm with you all the way...., heard about zen and chicken soup, zen and motorcycle maintenance, zen computer, now here you are Zen Uke, lovely..., so, I'm the Zen Pilot. God Bless. Koan: what's the sound of the ukulele without strumming the strings? Sorry. It was silly.

[@lisacompton593]
