    More of these!!! This is just what I'm needing, as a NOVICE, past beginner, but not intermediate at all. 1. A warm-up routine where I can see progress over time; 2. practice with strums, chucks, 2 finger-picking, and some novice chords. Really, there is a big missing space for NOVICE ukulele tutorials on youtube... Thank you...

    Hi B! I’ve been watching your videos and yes, I’m still a beginner beginner (picked up an uke for the very first time). I’ve been going to uke lessons for over a month now and still working on some challenges with switching chords in the middle of strumming. Learning new chords and adding them to the routine are also something I’m trying to improve. I found your total beginner video is the best for a beginner beginner like me. My daily practice isn’t as extensive as this warm-up. I wish I had found this video sooner. Though I truly appreciate this video as I’m going to watch it everyday and incorporate it to my practice. Mahalo nui 🙏🏼
