Stu, As I watch the varied instructors on KZbin I realize there is actually a place for all of you. I’ll watch a little girl teach the most basic of strum patterns with 1,000’s of views and lots of thank you comments, as this is exactly what those viewers were searching for. I’ll watch the hardened veteran teach numerous examples of triplets, again with positive responses from those looking to solve its mystery. And personally, I enjoy them all. Maybe it’s because I realize there is something to be learned from everyone of them. I sold and taught magic for over 30 years and I learned something new from every student I taught. Why? Because I was wise enough to listen. And I’m betting through all your workshops you found the same thing to be true. So much to learn, and all we have to do is listen. I really enjoy your videos, I love your enthusiasm and your on screen manor. In watching the variety of instruction out there I’ve found it is the sincere desire to have your viewers/students succeed which set the true teachers apart and you are one of the true teachers. Thank you for sharing your skills and one day maybe I’ll be able to share a little something to you. Take care, Wes

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks Wes - I would be delighted to learn from you! You are very correct in your observations - and also correct that I learn as much (or more) from students than I impart to them. When I teach a group class in person, I follow their lead and "lead from behind" by taking cues of what direction to go from the people who are gathered to join me. Thanks for hanging here & sharing your insights!

[@StephenRichards]

Thanks Stu, most of what I have learned to play on my ukulele comes from you. Tried It's 'Only a Paper Moon' at a local open mic night recently and I think it went down well. Look forward to more swing standards.

[@FSWithers]

I’m not even half way though and I have a BIG smile on my face. You’re a brilliant KZbin find for this old, but newbie, ukulele player. I’ll learn so much!

[@UkuleleZen]

That’s wonderful to hear Cris! I have other swing music tutorials like all of me and autumn leaves… When you’re smiling, and Ain’t Misbehavin’ too. You can find these videos at my channels homepage “Ukulele Zen” 😊🎶🤙🎉

Just digged this video. So pretty!

[@shish39]

[@mvolkers76]

Hey Stu. Nice instrument you have hanging there in the background.

[@UkuleleZen]

Yeah, that's a spike fiddle from Sudan that a friend brought back for me. The skin is ripped, so it does;t play anymore, but it's a nice piece :)

[@mvolkers76]

Ukulele Zen too bad. Would have loved it to see you go nuts on that piece. Have a nice new years Eve. See you hopefully in 2019 with new lessons and stuff. Your the best.

[@colehonquest9967]

Hey this is so cool and thank you so much, this channel has everything I’m looking for especially because I already taught myself and I’m not a beginner but I’m still intermediate so these are perfect songs

[@UkuleleZen]

Great to hear Cole! Play on! Come back for more videos each week (and plenty at my channel page too 😉🎶

[@AnBerfelo]

С наступающим Новым Годом Стюарт !!! Как всегда прекрасный уровень подачи материала ! Высший уровень! Я не владею английским языком, но всё понятно. Предлагаю расширить географию преподавания, делать разборы композиций других народов, будет ещё интересней! Привет из России!

[@UkuleleZen]

Спасибо за просмотр! Я надеюсь, что этот перевод правильный - я ценю ваши добрые слова. Два года назад я имел удовольствие сыграть концерт с певцом в Москве. Удивительный город !! Желаю вам крепкого здоровья и счастья.

[@ГеоргийГубарев-н6з]

@@UkuleleZen Перевод правильный, я живу далеко от Москвы, рядом с Хабаровском - большая страна))). Желаю всего хорошего, творческих побед!!!

[@UkuleleZen]

Ух ты - это далеко - ты почти на Тихом океане! Приятно слышать от вас и желаю вам всего наилучшего!

[@molikam]

Swing swing 💃🏻

[@UkuleleZen]

Yes! :-D See you soon Moli!

[@molikam]

@@UkuleleZen yeah! looking forward

[@ThePavelAntonov]

I am joined patrions, Uku Zen, but why it is much easier to listen your teaching on KZbin? Even finding tabs. Can you, please, give tips? I am a $5 monthly patrron. Plus do you have a chords marked in a regular way for the beginners, like a pictures of a chord? I have to slow your videos down to be able to identify fingers. Nothing about it on your webpage. Plus, would love to have arpeggios in different keys to see - it helps fingers independency on both arms. Just arpeggios in different keys for both hands to pick and play at the same time training all fingers, please.

[@UkuleleZen]

Hi Pavel, Thanks for your support on Patreon! I try to show things in a detailed way...I will make sure to slow things down even further. Almost all my song sheets have chord diagrams for people to learn from. I will make a lesson on arpeggios soon - dedicated to you. Thanks for the feedback!!

[@ThePavelAntonov]

@@UkuleleZen I am a visual artist. 11-3-2=1 is just a numbers for me. Chart with visual bars and chords I am getting from another ukuteachers - not a problem. Plus, please, don't slow down your video - I don't want to slow more advanced students. I cam slowing your videos down using YouYube options up to 4 times if needed but still can't get solo chords on "Isn't she lovely" yet. And it is the main song I want to play on your level in one month. Playing the other songs in between also. Great lessons, man! Amazing arrangement. Looking forward to learn more from you.

[@ThePavelAntonov]

Looking forward to all neck arpeggio excersises and chords for Isn't she lovely. All chrods are clear till you hit the meludy - then would be nice to actually see the progression more clearly. Soon ILl be able to read notes, sorry!

[@UkuleleZen]

Hey Pavel, thanks for hanging out and watching my videos here… Slowing it down is definitely a good idea and remember… If you can say it you’ll be better prepared to play it. Use your voice as a learning tool it’s a powerful one. Thanks again for watching! -Stu

[@morrismurrray1689]

Chords of the instrumental bridge please

[@UkuleleZen]

F, F dim7, C 2x. Then A7 D7 Dm & G7 before returning to the a section with a C major chord…

[@clairekosmic]

Hi Stu thanks for this tutorial and ive just become a patreon Im a little stuck, ive got to 'without your love...its a honky tonk parade' and im not sure what the chords are could you possibly help please? thank you :))

[@clairekosmic]

i figured it out :)

[@UkuleleZen]

Oh good - I'm a little slow to your comment here. That passage is the start of the bridge with the diminished chord ;-) Happy playing!
