I was about to comment this lololol

[@katunger2407]

Hahaha lol...I was wondering who he reminded me of! 👍😂

[@nicholec6647]

Best comment.

[@ingriddegen5590]

Zen-sational. Greetings from Germany.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thank you Ingrid… I like your expression there! 🙏🏻🎶

[@docbrunquist9493]

Just found your site after taking a year and 1/2 off....my Uke was stolen and I didn't play until I received a very sweet one for Christmas and I was so pleased to see and hear your vids....I am loving your presence and your presents. Thanks You. All the best for this new year. Digging the grooves!

[@UkuleleZen]

Glad you're back with a new uke (Santa was good to you!) Thanks for watching & see you in the next vid...play on!

[@voges092]

I stumbled upon this channel looking for Jazz UKE INFO. As a 50 year jazz player I can say: Excellent teacher. Patient, Positive attitude, Theory is right on but never gos over your head. First time I watched this I didnt even have my UKE with me. Peaceful Dude. Inspiring. I really wiish Id learned theory from him when I was a student.. Great Job.

[@UkuleleZen]

Wow… Thanks so much for your kind comment Chas. I hope you share the video with anyone you think is interested… I'll be offering some more jazz tutorials and an online course in the subject this year. Play on! 🎶🤙

[@npgibson69]

I hit that first G9 13 and enlightenment was achieved. 🙏 G9 13 and C9 13 sound great with my favorite one finger chords, Am and F9.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks George...Please subscribe & ring the notification bell to keep in the loop of my upcoming videos :)

[@sammiller9855]

Because the ukulele is a high pitch instrument, particularly the soprano and concert sizes, adding 2nds (9th), 4ths (11ths), 6ths (13ths), and/or 7ths to chords in "reentrant tuning" creates semi-tone and whole-tone dissonances that can sound quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@UkuleleZen]

Yes Sam...good point! These sound really cool on High G tuning!

[@delmarlemming]

Wow, Stu! I found those two initial chords mysterious and almost spooky. Once in context, I came back to earth. Thank you!!

[@venkosta2945]

Thank you so much you not only play really good but have way,probably that "zen" way to teach.I am following now many of your videos.Thanks a lot.I am writing music myself and wanted very much to add a strumming instrument to my songs,and I decided to be the ukulele!So,you are indeed big help for me! Blessings

[@theadi339]

Ooo - love that chord - very zen sounding

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks for listening to your sound...listening deeply = living in the preset moment...moment by moment 😉 Be well, Stu

[@philippehebrard2630]

Haven't been on YT for a long while, getting reinstated was a bit of a chore, I'll try to keep things more up to date. Have an abiding passion for Great American Songbook material. Looking forward to learning with you. Ukulele, 4 strings, 4 fingers coincidence, I think not. I find having the lyrics and chords displayed in the traditional manner the easiest way to put the perfect rhythm into the melodies, making the changes appropriately.

[@matthewtarnowski7120]

G9 13, the most interesting chord in the world. ❤

[@UkuleleZen]

you said it! I like F major seven also played 5500. Enjoy your jamming! Please subscribe to the channel for more videos like this one 😊

Hey, cheers from a geezerette....whoa.. I haven't lain hands on a uke since YWCA camp, when I was a teenager. (Wanna do the math, bro? I am now 72)..And retired to New Orleans, which is a bastion of hipness...so I am revisiting the uke after more than fifty years. The jazz thing is intriguing, man...

I also discovered you can slide that three finger D chord shape up to the 5 , 7 and 9th frets back to the 2 fret which is a simple but beautiful D chord to end the G9 /13? C9/13 F?
