Best ukulele tutorial ever. This is so comprehensive and elaborate. I have spent months coming back to it again and again. And it always gives me so many things to pick up as a habit. Thank you!

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks!

[@Anjaan__Anjaan]

Thank you for providing free lessons...I could have spent months and months just gathering all this knowledge and you just explained it in less than 15 minutes...you are absolutely amazing 🌹

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks Garry!

[@experimetalmaker]

I do not understand it all yet, but want to thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge

[@PeteFGuitar]

Experimetal Experimetal you're welcome. Some of these concepts take a while, as well as several repetitions before they sink in. Thanks for watching.

[@superd222tube]

Great lesson, Thank you! I used to know music theory so well from playing woodwinds. Then, 30 years went by without playing any instruments. Learning to play the Uke during Covid and dusting off some old skills. This is a great refresher which will speed up the precess. Much appreciated! :)

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks!

[@ChrisFP2]

I've been playing ukulele for 3 years. This is a perfect lesson. Thank you

[@mintsnake]

I've been just playing the ukulele by using chord charts. I'm glad to finally understand music theory on my uke!!! I'm finally understanding it as an instrument, and I'm sure I can use this knowledge to learn other instruments. Thank you, sir, for your clear explanation.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Many thanks for your kind comment, and yes all of this information applies equally to other instruments.

[@fennecbesixdouze1794]

Really excellent instruction. Not too fast at all, not too slow either. Good amount of content for each episode. You're an excellent teacher!
Don't forget everyone to practice! Play popular songs from chord charts and tabs, recognize what you've learned in theory so you can internalize and contextualize it and make it your own.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks!

[@FirstLast-kv7lu]

I am trying to learn playing the ukulele. It's been tough as music is something which has always been beyond me. Then I felt that maybe there is something like ukulele theory that can get me on the first step. And here it is, your video is superb, extraordinarily good. Thank you very very much.

[@PeteFGuitar]

You’re very welcome, and thanks for your kind comment.

Honestly, thank you for this! Not knocking other channels, because they did teach me how to play some songs, but I was searching for ages for some actual music theory. This lesson was exactly what I was looking for, and I'm so excited to continue, and learn even more.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks!

[@rebeccamuenger]

[@PeteFGuitar]

update after 3 months and everything is making so much sense now.
Love it 🤟🏻

[@woodfamily5229]

Your teaching is absolutely perfect! I’ve been playing guitar on and off for 20 years and have been really getting into the ukulele lately, but no matter how many times I’ve tried over the years, music theory has not made enough sense to remain in my memory. If the rest of your lessons are as good as this one, I feel like I will finally understand it! Thank you

[@PeteFGuitar]

You're very welcome!

[@PeteFGuitar]

How kind of you to post this +Fraser Barrons Barrons, thanks very much.

[@doobiedootwo3517]

Absolutely brilliant - as an older person (ahem😂) i was following youtube lessons by a lovely young lady BUTcould not understand why there were 2 c’s one on the open C string and one on fret 3 of the A string…. And they sounded different. I am a complete musical illiterate as you can see. I find it incredibly difficult to learn something i do not understand, i am not a child who can learn by rote and having learned then can flesh it out with theory later on. So thankyou these videos will help immeasurabley 🥰

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks!
