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!

[@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!

[@susank6267]

You are a very good teacher. A teacher who can impart their knowledge in a clear and understandable way is critical to students. I wish so much that you had more ukulele content! I will check out your website now and see what you might have there!

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thank you Susan!

[@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.

[@ChrisFP2]

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

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.

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
