[@CosasdeDios1089]

Awesome. Now, by the time i play rumba like that in my Uke, it may be the end of life ss we know it 🙂

[@UkuleleZen]

You can get it into your sooner than that! 😉 Say it to play it: “pine-ap-ple, pine-ap-ple, ap-ple”…. Happy jamming 🎶😊

[@moonwhale1685]

[@accroroller]

Quel plaisir de vous voir et de vous entendre en duo avec la basse, vous avez un bon rythme et un bon feeling 💛🎶

[@avec2ailes941]

I really like this song ..... and this video! It's great that Sarah is here during the jam! I hope there will be moments like this more often, beautiful people!

[@angelofmusic477]

Thank you for sharing, the scrapping sound when you run the finger across the fret strip is call the "Guiro" sound effect from the guiro percussion instrument.

[@UkuleleZen]

Exactly! Thanks for that reminder - I should have mentioned the mighty guiro! Thanks for watching :)

[@angelofmusic477]

You could try the guiro effect also on the guitar but I would remove the 6th bass strings to give more space to run the finger through. I use open G tuning because this tuning has better harmony for some nifty finger picking and variation than the standard tuning.

[@estherli8706]

This is the COOLEST ukulele tutorial video ever! I love it! Make me so happy

[@piplup4752]

[@SteveMartinUSA]

What at awesome rhythm. Who'd have known you can do this kind of thing on a "toy". Stu, I love your work.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks Steve!! Hope you enjoy playing along & learning this groove for your own music too. P.S. Somewhere in this time frame made a video of how to practice with a toaster (mine makes a steady ticking eighth note to practice along with ;-)

[@SteveMartinUSA]

Instead of a drum beat? Now that's creative!

[@yogasloth4540]

Um.... OMG this is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I just started playing the uke about two months ago. This is not easy for me but I will play it until I can do it. Thank you for keeping me on my toes!!!!!!!

[@jordanwilcken]

This song is so much fun, Stu, so thanks for posting! I really dig it.

[@UkuleleZen]

Glad you like it Jordan...a classy and classic tune to croon with your uke or guitar!

[@colinpileus6031]

Excellent ! merci pour le duo, that was so cool ! I would love to play uke with someone one the bass. - ColiN -

[@UkuleleZen]

It's sweet to have the low notes & grooves added to your playing for sure! Merci for watching! Sarah says hello :)

[@reckonimokie123]

Awesome. Is that a Tenor or Concert?

[@sallydeb]

I was thinking of making washboard percussion for our uke group but maybe we don't need one? 👐

[@UkuleleZen]

Go for it!

[@sammiller9855]

I love the strum! Is this scrapping of the frets a technique borrow from flamenco guitar?

[@UkuleleZen]

I'm not sure if it's from Flamenco guitarists...but I started doing this years ago with my acoustic guitar & found it fits on the uke perfectly :). Thanks for watching! More videos to come...

[@skipsnownpsgmailcom]

So much fun, thanks Stu! Spending a good part of my Sunday trying to figure out your solo (or a reasonable facsimile). Don’t suppose you have tabbed it out?!?!?
