Thank you for these tutorials. Whenever I start thinking “I’m NEVER going to get good at this” I watch you and you always calm me down.!!

[@AllForUke]

Keep at it! Enjoy the process of learning and chip away every day. - Kevin

[@P_B_FR]

Try the app yousician as well It's what taught me the ukulele and guitar

[@maryelizabethmckittrick2886]

Loved this Kevin .After paying for 10 lessons with one man and 5 lessons with another ,I learnt more from you in one lesson .Thank you so much .I really appreciate your teaching

[@mandyvandenbovenkamp827]

I live quite close to the fires and outside the smoke from them is very sad and depressing. Good to have something to focus on that is positive. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks.

[@AllForUke]

I'm very sad about the fires in Australia. I can't believe the smoke is visible in South America now! Crazy. Thinking of you guys and sending hope and good vibes your way. Keep strumming! - Kevin

[@Huntlylawnmowingnz]

Man, I’m learning in lockdown @ home in New Zealand, love that you don’t show off and just bring it down to a basic level. Awesome vids

[@AllForUke]

Thanks for learning with me, Jerome. If you’d like more resources and videos, drop by my new site. All the best - Kevin www.allforuke.com/lessons

[@Huntlylawnmowingnz]

Will do mate ✊🏽

[@MissyWombat]

In these days of COVID-19 I figured that if I was at risk of being put in quarantine I would need something to learn and the uke is perfect. I'm a pianist so it is nice having something portable. Just found your channel today and was impressed that you started with a chromatic scale warm up. So the warm up is today's thing and tomorrow I will add the C major chord. Looking forward to tomorrow!

[@gerreward2664]

These are truly the best on line uke lessons,sometimes they are a challenge and maybe even frustrating,for a real beginner but I am learning so much...I’m grateful!

[@brenttrek]

I got my Uke back in Sept, and while I feel like I have learned a lot, watching your videos has really helped with continuing to grow my abilities. I think there is more of a purpose to my practice now. Really appreciate what you do. This is my first intstrument, ever, but it is something I really enjoy and want to spend time with every day.

[@tamtamrams]

Hi Kevin, thank you for this play every day series. I started off this year doing yoga everyday with Adriene, and that became a habit because I made that practice my priority and found the time. I really wanted to start playing an instrument again, having struggled to play guitar, I realized I could (literally) start smaller, and bought my first Uke. I want to eventually work my way back to guitar, and this is such a good channel. The one thing that you have in common with the yoga videos I practiced is that both you and Adriene emphasize the fact that "you showed up." I like that. Day 1 done!

[@AllForUke]

Hi Tamara - I too am a believer in Yoga and found so much good in Adriene’s channel. Thanks so much for learning with me! - Kevin

[@MyTaashi]

Amazing for the first time I understood how scales work on each key .. Kudos to you !!

[@antheamspurrier597]

Thank you Kevin. You make it look easy. I have a little problem trying to keep up but I guess the more I practise the easier it will become.

[@AllForUke]

Exactly! If you’re interested in more learning tools to accompany these lessons, drop by my new site. I have practice tracks, song sheets, and worksheets available for you that will really help you improve your skills. All the best - Kevin | www.allforuke.com/lessons

[@yvonnedoherty7666]

Thankyou Kevin you are a great teacher

[@barbarabrowning4117]

Thanks, Kevin. Great lesson! I enjoyed the pace of it, and the format with the warmup and then a lesson.

[@AllForUke]

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to tune in :)

[@kaylaeidle8810]

Love this video! Learning scales and warm-up exercises is so helpful to becoming a more fluent player!

[@AllForUke]

Couldn't agree with you more Kayla. It also builds confidence which helps you grow that fluidity through the process. Hope to see you for Day 2 - Kevin

[@tommymorris8027]

These tutorials are brilliant very easy to follow and gives me hope

[@alisoninwonderland8398]

wow, i never knew this thank you so much. I really love your tutorials, your teaching is so clear and easy to follow. My playing and knowledge have improved heaps since following your guidance.

[@arundhati4084]

I loved this video!!! Especially the warm up method..it's awesome! I've been playing the uke for six months now and I find each of your series quite interesting..I've completed two series, this is the third and I'm already loving it! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@preranahbaruah]

My 1st lesson . Thanks sir. I am very new to ukulele.

[@lekhrajrai1172]

wow.. this is the channel that i was searching for.. thank you and love you :)

[@scara1701]

Best wishes for the new year. Will do my best to follow these lessons. I never sing though, mostly because I can't sing + I forget everything else whilst singing. Multitasking is a challenge for me :D

[@atvitales]

Wow! Great tutorial and practice strategy. KUDOS!

[@janetclarke3754]

So enjoying your training. I’m on holidays and will link when I am safely on my own computer.

[@FlloydKennedy]

I'm so happy to be able to access these wonderful tutorials. Happy New Year!

[@rmford555]

Thanks Kevin, These lessons are great! Love your teaching style and easy to understand.

[@AllForUke]

Appreciate you, Richard!

[@agakozinska4238]

I love your lessons Kevin! I started to play and I was looking for a way to learn the best for me ... and I think I just found it:) Thank you very much and keep your fingers crossed!

[@AllForUke]

Heyhey -- the Pdfs for Day 1 are now available on the AllForUke site. Link in the video description. If you have ukulele questions, please leave them in the comments below and I'll answer one or two in my upcoming videos. Thanks for learning with me - Kevin

[@P_B_FR]

I've played the ukulele for half a year now and I just got a guitar for christmas I'm kinda leaning away from learning ukulele now Should I try learning both at the same time?

[@susanstanley6407]

I tried but every time I click on free PDR's it wants me to sign up for paid membership. Could you just Post the link directly to the PDFs in the video description? I have tried now for several days. I even signed up my email and put in password, but wanted a plan. I just want the PDFs for now. This is so frustrating!

[@robieprice4685]

Thanks, Kevin your the bomb, going through the course a second time.

[@ukulelebobby]

Thank you Kevin I needed this to get me on track 🤙🙏🏻

[@mymgb238]

Always very instructional- good -thanks

[@AllForUke]

Appreciate you checking it out! Hope it was helpful :) - Kevin

[@ingridguerrieri8694]

Hola Kevin. Muchas gracias for your tutorials. I love how clear your instructions are, and I appreciate your giving us the rational before the exercises. Any way you could teach us how to tune our uke by ear? I’m lost without my snark and would like to developers that skill and not depend on a tuner. Again, muchas gracias for your hard work .

[@leannpage6433]

Thank you for naming the notes!

[@merledrury3515]

Bang on topic again, Kevin. Been playing around trying some instrumental stuff (Greensleeves) and today felt it was time I went back to school - than your prompt arrived! Enjoyed the warmup - I always try and o do some exercises when I start.... Happy New Year to everyone 😊😊

[@amysays3980]

I love this format! Wonderful explanation. It's always nice to know the why of things 😊. Thank you!

Good video. I think this series is going to help a lot on learning to play.

[@AllForUke]

What are your goals and intentions for 2020?

[@sueshultis6106]

Pretty sure I'm doing this every day!

[@karenlowe2549]

Yay! I was able to print the PDFs and following these are really helpful. My question is how do we change from the key of C to D?

[@kerryblackwell3322]

Hi Kevin, the warm up video was most interesting, however, I feel a bit neglected as I'm learning the baritone. I follow your baritone beginner series but the more you can dream up the better. Thank you, your series are wonderful. kerry

[@AllForUke]

Hey Kerry - Baritone Beginner Level 2 is coming soon. Also, have you checked out Baritone Strumming and Baritone Fingerpicking on my channel? More learning resources available at AllForUke.com | Kevin

Already so helpful, thank you for this!

[@reginashaffer5627]

Loved it, great start to some intense but fun practice 😁

[@juliefibbins620]

Loving your tutorials while in isolation in NSW Australia. I do prefer when you have the window in the background and can see the birds that come to the tree. Are they woodpeckers??

[@darialandar7550]

Hi I love your videos. They are very helpful as a beginner. I signed up on your site and got the first email (on Feb 2) but never received the second one. How can I get that link to the lessons?

[@cenos8521]

This was another great lesson :) Now I'll slowly start working on the modes . I like the challenge of learning anything new on a daily basis It has been great fun learning from . I love your approach and the way you have made your videos . Fantastic job brother !! thank you for making this lock-down an opportunity to enjoy each passing day with you . The world a much better place with you in it:)

This is so helpful, I will try to do this daily 🤠

[@johns4962]

Learning the uke here in Scotland during lockdown having never played a musical instrument in my life and at 58 yrs old I thought it was time to give it a try and I am loving it, I am actually smiling from ear to ear just playing these scales lol . I will take it slow but sooo looking forward to playing a tune. I bought a soprano uke but I find it a bit small to hold and strum etc so thinking on get a larger one. What would you recommend ? (I have very large hands and fingers) Thank you so much Im going to sign up :-)

[@AllForUke]

Hey John - I'd recommend a tenor or baritone size. Tenor is tuned like your soprano (GCEA) and Baritone is tuned like a guitar (DGBE) - Baritone is the bigger of the two and sounds very warm. The tenor is probably your best option - I have a few in my shop www.allforuke.com/shop if you're interested in taking a look. Thanks for learning with me - Kevin

[@missfloflowers]

Great! Thanks.

[@AllForUke]

Ready for Day 2? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqXdk62el9ytiLc - Thanks for learning with me flo - Kevin

[@naturewatcher7596]

Thank you for the lesson. What to do if I can't sing the scale till the end (too high notes for me starting with A :( ). Using smaller ukulele with 13 frets. Thank you.

[@TheRealMACA]

thank u! 🌼

[@sharminsultana-hx2zj]

dear, can i practice it with my baritone? take love.

[@thomasdouglass8778]

Irrelevant but we have that very same reindeer that's hanging over the back of your couch. We've had it for many years and also have smaller ones like it. I like your video tutorials as well. Keep up the great work. God bless.

I previously deleted the second email which now I know has the link to the pDFs. How do I get that one re-sent to me please?

[@karenlowe2549]

Old subscriber and I've printed your PDF lessons before but the PDF for these new tutorials have no way to access them even through your Happy Place. What's up? I really like the idea of this new series and would like to have the PDF to follow along.

Hey there - the new pdfs for this series are live. Link in Desc. Thanks so much for learning with me, Karen - Kevin

I never got the link or confirmation email. Checked junk too. How long does it take to arrive?

[@GioxSinger]

Practicing live, 5 mins per day.....That's a very interesting idea, I think I can do this and I will try it!!! :D Btw..... just for your information..... you mispronounced the Si (B) note: it's "cee" not "tee" in fact there is an S.... Ciao dall'Italia ;p

[@janealan6912]

Actually I think the "tee" is from the Sound of Music and Julie Andrew's singing "tea a drink with jam and bread" and is not a mistake on Kevin's part. It is just the way we learn the scale in North America. From Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 Thanks Kevin

[@SL-zx1ps]

Great video, though my favourite bit is where the cat disappears like a glitch in the Matrix at 6:30 :D Where did it go!?!?!

[@SL-zx1ps]

@@AllForUke ooh song sheets, exciting. I"ll definitely swing the new site. Keep up the good work, your lessons are fun and easy to follow. I especially like the reminders to smile. By the way you look so much like my baby brother (in the UK) it feels like I"m video calling him (I'm in NZ), when I sent a screenshot of you to my family my middle brother thought you were him. Good looking guys the pair of you! :D Thanks for all the time - my strumming is slowing moving away from my comfort zone island strum much to my husband's relief!

[@cvx2dog549]

I have to smile and play at the same time! Are you kidding?🙂
