And you’ve donated ukuleles to incarcerated boys in Grafton, IL! These ukes are played on a daily basis! The fellas love to pluck around on them and we can see their fears and anxiety melt away. It’s so beautiful! Can’t share pics due to confidentiality, but picture a 17 year old boy who has experienced trauma that we can’t imagine and fallen into the world of gangs and crime….just sitting on my red yoga ball, looking down at a ukulele and noodling around. It’s truly a beautiful site!! 💕🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏💕

[@TheUkuleleFool]

I am so glad that you can spread the ukulele love.

[@JacquiKilcoyne]

The guitars were getting heavy for me, Old age had galloped on). So I bought a Ukulele. Best thing I ever did. Cant put the thing down and I've just played all 11 songs. Thankyou so much for the songs. You've made an old lady very happy. lol.

Feeling Groovy is such a lovely song. Unlike all of the others thus far, whilst not difficult in itself to play, I have to really concentrate to keep the flow from verse to chorus to verse going so that I do not get either behind or ahead of myself (or behind/ahead of you!).

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Yes, that flow. Transitions from sections are really hard.

Hi Zanifer. I have been to Trinidad. I stayed in Port of Spain, but got down to San Fernando, too. I used to play pan, and directed the northernmost steel band in the world. I met Boogsie and Liam Teague. I went to so many Calypso tents and spent Carnival with Crazy. Memorable!!! I have corresponded with a ukulele player in Trinidad. He mostly plays chord melody.

Love your tutorials and selections. I am learning along (chords, strumming & singing) however my need is for the actual music notation of the melody since many of the songs I am not really familiar with in their entirety. Being a pianist, I am not a confident singer with just chords unless it is a folk song I remember well from years ago. What uke song book do you recommend that supplies the chord tabs plus a melody line?

[@GeorgeAlexa]

Yesterday I went to purchase a Ukulele, and unlike the guitars, there were only ten to pick from! The online music store had hundreds to choose from, and I decided that besides the price, I wanted to know what to buy. Should it be a Concreto, a soprano, or a tenor? I decided against a baritone or a Ukulele that sounds like a banjo.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

I play a concert, it works really well with my hand and body size. My husband prefers the tenor, but he will play my concert from time to time with no problems. Many of the pros play a tenor size. I really recommend that you go back to the music store armed with a few chords in mind, like C F and G7 and see what feels right for you. If you are buying online I have had really good experiences with Hricane, Donner, Kmise, and Fender ukuleles. The first 3 can be purchased for under $100, Fenders are more pricey, but not too much. My favorite ukulele is a Martin - CK1 ($500) with my next favorite a Kala acoustic electric ($325?) with a cutaway body. Both are Koa wood.

[@GeorgeAlexa]

@@TheUkuleleFool I shall look for the Martin CK1. Money isn’t a problem. I want the sound to be good. I am not sure I want an electric. I learned the guitar and hope some knowledge transfer. Thank you for the info.

Im wondering if you happen to know sign language because when you said Three and showed it with your hand your thumb middle and index finger were extended thats three in american sign language

[@TheUkuleleFool]

I don't "know" sign language, but I worked with 3 classes of children with disabilities for 9 years. Sign language was used with many of the non-verbal kids. During that time one of my childhood friend's husband became deaf. We even at a TTY telephone at home so we could call him.

[@1965nterp]

@@TheUkuleleFool ok another thing about numbers in sign language is that all of the numbers from zero to 999 are all signed on one hand

[@1955boxer]

Hello. I'm not a technical person as I'm 70 years old. However, I know in your video you said the link below and you mention paper copies but I'm struggling to find it. Also in your second song I'll fly away you do the cowboy strum but you're not explaining the strum and it looks and sounds great but I'm trying to figure out how you're doing that strum. It'd be great if you explained any strum other than just a downstroke. Because it makes all the difference. Thank you

What does minor mean? A and A minor and A7?? Beginners info please!

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Jen - there isn't a super easy way to help you. I am making short music theory videos, and I have a playlist going. Those will be more detailed, and take you through small step at a time to understand what is a college course that they require music majors to take 2 years of. I am just getting my first chord video out next week. An A chord has the notes - A C# #. An A minor chord has the notes A C E. And A7 chord has the notes A C# E G. It is my intention in my short animated videos to help you understand those differences. Make sure to catch the videos - Whole and Half Steps and Major and Minor 3rds. That will really help when I get around making the chord videos. Here's the playlist as of today - kzbin.info/aero/PLxPthNJp8Bn17hS4aL9PZGHFZ0yua4KBj

[@jennagle5554]

@@TheUkuleleFool thank you!

[@Beegthic444]

when I try to do the g7 chord it makes that empty sound why?

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Empty sounding. I can only guess, but some of the strings aren't ringing out. Maybe the finger you are using on the 2nd fret of the C string is making contact with the E and or A string, making them no ring out? Hard to tell by typing about it. I offer Q and A sessions twice a month on Zoom for all my patrons, even at the $3 level. Plus we play together too. Consider joining me on Patreon.
