Super site, your John King tune was inspirational. He was the best. I will follow and try to learn some techniques from you; I am here on this earth to prove that not everyone can play the Ukulele. Best. Loon

Have you done tutorial for William tell
Overture yet,Thanks
April 14th, 2012 at 12:06 am
I have not but I will think about how that could happen. It’s challenging enough just to play it!
April 13th, 2012 at 6:32 pm
I want to make sure that you comprehend how much your teaching through this website means to me and, I am sure, many others. The effort and time it takes to do all this isn’t fully realized by those of us who have never undertaken such an endevor – let alone all the years of effort in gaining the experience to get you to this point. Being able to take advantage of your teaching thru your site is truly a gift that I could never afford thru traditional avenues, and being able to take as much time as I need to progress at my own pace while being able to view your videos repeatedly has really helped my understanding, playing ability and self confidence. I LOVE playing, but my hands can’t keep up with my enthusiasm because of progressive muscle deterioration in my hands and arms. Your tutorials assist me to practice for very short periods of time as often as I can. I love the pieces you choose to share. Thank you. And thank you for all the excellent sites you reference for more info – I’ve read them all – wonderful history and fascinating reading. Thank you. PLEASE continue with the harp uke; you play enchantingly! I used to play celtic harp and when I heard your first harp uke video…well, it brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart! Thank you. Those two small words just don’t seem to really cover it all, but they’ll have to do. I KNOW you haven’t heard it often enough in reard to your website, so I’m being purposefully repetative. Please continue doing what you do; it’s amazing, excellent, beautiful and highly appreciated. And because of you, learning to play the ukulele “like a badass” has brought joy to my life and, I’m sure, countless others – Mahalo nui loa!

Lynne,
Thank you for the thoughtful and heartfelt message. It is feedback like this that makes it worth doing. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with me. Thank you so much.
I love to help people learn and even more so I love it when someone actually benefits from what I share.
I am sorry about your muscle issue but I hope you are able to get joy from the ukulele as long as you can. Hopefully playing can help?
Take care,
Tim

I found this website while searching for a tutorial on YouTube and it looks great! Thanks 4 starting this.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Thank you thank you. Your tutorials are the most fun and educational. Inspires practice and experimentation rather than just learning by rote.
Thanks thanks thanks
September 25th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
You’re welcome! Thank you for the kind words.
December 29th, 2012 at 10:32 pm
Tim,
Really like the site and use some of the tabs for practice. Hope all is going well for you and you are busy. Will there be any new tutorials?
Thanks for all the cool stuff!
December 30th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Thanks, Don. Yes there will be more tutorials and I apologize for it taking so long. Keep an eye (or ear) out!
May 9th, 2013 at 6:04 pm
Thanks so much for sharing your ukulele knowledge to us. They are really helpful. 🙂

Re: St. Anne’s Reel video: That’s one of your best recordings. LOL The reason is that I just started trying to play a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve watched many of your talented videos, but it was just so encouraging to see you struggle at moments, even though it was at such lofty levels that I should ever hope to achieve. Thank you hugely for your efforts to help starting out players, and I sincerely hope you will keep making the videos for techniques, or building blocks, that many would take for granted. I assure you, you can’t make it too simple. More on the “hammer” as seen in folksy finger picking, please.

TIM,I HAVE BEEN WORKING YOUR ARPEGGIOS EVERY MORNING FOR PROX. 1 HR. PER DAY.I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I PICK UP OTHER SONG TABS,THEY ARE MUCH EASIER TO PLAY;SIMPLY DUE TO YOUR FINGER EXCERCISES.THANK -YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR UKE CONTRIBUTION. PATRICK

Hallo Mikkel here from Denmark, just felt in love with your Harp Ukulele /tenor size, And want one 🙂 do you know where I can buy order one? Best regeards Mikkel Nøhr
April 22nd, 2014 at 9:10 am
Thanks so much for the message, Mikkel! I don’t know where they are available right now. My best advice is to do internet searches. This is where I got mine. http://cargo.ukerepublic.com/product/anuenue-harp-ukulele-iii-tenor-electric. I also found this in a search.. http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?75664-aNueNue-Harp-Ukulele. Good luck, I hope you find one and get as much enjoyment from it as I have.

Your fingerstyle picking video is off the hook! Cool stuff man keep them coming!
September 17th, 2014 at 9:20 am
So, I have a ukulele with a low G string. Is it possible to play Campanella with the uke tuned this way? Any suggestions?
September 17th, 2014 at 10:16 am
Ian, I am sure you can play SOME campanella style with a low G but you will get the most out of having a high G. All of my arrangements and tutorials center around a high G which, in my opinion, is the secret to campanella!
September 17th, 2014 at 2:05 pm
Thanks!
December 11th, 2014 at 2:07 pm
Thank you for wonderful lessons.Your thorough style of teaching helps my a lot.I’ve just found your blog a few weeks ago and I’ve all ready learned so much.Now that I appreciate your effort to bring the ukulele skills to many people.Kudos from Denmark.
Best regards Robert Nygaard

Thank you for all this good stuff! Do you have any uke tabs for”Walk Don’t Run” by the Ventures?
July 19th, 2018 at 6:07 pm
Is there a chance I could get the Tico Tico duo sheet music. I have transcribed 2 mandolins to Guitar Pro 7.5, but love your arrangement.

Olá. Não sei inglês, por favor use o Google tradutor para português.
Gostaria de saber se tem mais exercĂcios em vĂdeo de clawhammer para praticar? Obrigada.
