Here Andrew shares unique tips and tricks you may not find elsewhere...
Andrew began performing and recording with various bands in Madison Wisconsin in 1983 and began teaching in 1987. Andrew noticed right away when he started teaching there was a need for properly graduated teaching materials and books that were engaging, provided the student with plenty to work on, and empowered the student with an understanding of how things work so the student could develop into a self sufficient professional musician and create original music. It didn't take long for Andrew to start to developing his own unique methods. Andrew always welcomes the challenge of finding new ways to teach that result in a better learning experience, and a more accomplished student.
In 2000 Andrew stopped performing and recording professionally, he now lives in the Kansas Flint Hills with his Wife and children where he enjoys teaching, writing books and the occasional performance.

Thanx 🤟🏽😃✨
Cool!
great tutorial! Thank you so much!!!
That was a very informative and useful video, thank you, sir. 5*
Thanks for good teaching! It was helpful for me as an accordion player and now beginner with Ukulele since short time with 68. Greetings from Germany!
Greetings! Glad you enjoyed it.
@@playukulelenowYes I did! And feel thankful to practice it and improve to play Ukulele. I love to understand such important basics and do play several other Musical Instruments. That helps to learn little faster, if practicing enough. I want to do it as good as possible and produce best sounds. Yesterday even used a rhythm machine to make it as correct as possible. Wish you all the best!
That's great to play it with a rhythm machine!
Very useful - thank you!
Very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you 🙏
Glad you liked it.
Thanks!
Thank you. I am just finding you.
Great lesson! This is the fingering shape to use on the guitar for A major chord which makes it easy to switch to D major and E major. This is SO much easier to change chords in the key of D, thank you!
Thank You! That E is a thing of beauty. Timing is perfect need that for a song tomorrow. Love the slide to D from A WOW! Will try the Em to/from a G or G7. The D7 saves wrist twists. Nice B7. Bars can cause trouble. Off to practice. Great Stuff Thanks again.
Thank you
Hi, please have you done the next video on finger picking patterns?🎶🙏🌷
Ready now! th-cam.com/video/DUqvTEQs6rM/w-d-xo.html - Hope you enjoy it!
@@playukulelenow thank you 🙏🌷
I love that you teach ‘thumb for both lower strings’, many teachers don’t which makes ‘Travis’, style much more difficult 🌷
I think that's the wat to go for the uke!
Thank you for these tips!
I've recently committed to learning key of D songs and it took about a day and a half after I settled on how to play the D chord. I found the only smooth way I could do it was the way you showed.
Omg you are a lifesaver! Thank you so so much!
The stuff about the dangers of resting one’s finger atop the uke is pure nonsense. Fernando Sor, Ferdinand Carulli and most the greatest classical guitarists of the nineteenth century all supported their right hand with their little finger of the right hand resting on the top of their instruments as did all the lutenists of yore and modern players of the instrument. The point is when playing with the right hand this way the flesh of the right hand fingers are at the optimum angle for a full beautiful tone.
@@robbrown8483 Teachers that come from the school of thought that you should not rest your finger in the soundboard have found that it limits mobility and dexterity. Beginners may find that their right hand is more relaxed and their playing more fluid if they do not rest any fingers on the top of the instrument. You are correct, Carulli recommended resting the pinky on the soundboard just below the highest string in his method, (other methods from that same era did not) and Sor would do it occasionally depending on what he was playing. I Imagine as many teachers will reccomend you don't do it as will reccomend you do. Its usually quite a debate.
BRILLIANT!-thank you!
on my seventh day playing ukulele, never played even guitar, and the only strum I managed so far is the island 🤷🏻♀️
Interesting exercise!
Brilliant!
Thank you very much indeed sir! I hated so much the classic chord of E on uku !!! and now I’m so glad that I can learn a new one and also much better !! Greetings from 👋🏾 🇬🇭 🇬🇧
Good tips.
I appreciate it!
This is very helpful thank you
Thanks, very informative 👍
G.e.n.i.u.s!
Wow sir
thanks so much. I can actually play D now :D
This is awesome info, thanks 😊 is there an easier way to play B?
I'm glad you liked the video. The B can be played as a triad, (a three note chord) simply take out the repeated note and use the muting techniques you in this video to mute the string you won't be playing. I talk about this in depth in my Ukulele Chord Tricks: How to Simplify any Chord Book. With ANY major or minor chord the reapeted note can be taken out and mutted creating an easy to play, three note chord! Stay tuned, I'll have a video on triads soon.
@@playukulelenow thank you!
I only found the D chord practical. For the B7 it makes no sense to use that finger to mute the string. If the finger is already on the string just press it down. It's harder to mute it. But thanks for the D. That works well with a G
I did not find it helps me
Thank you! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! You just helped me out alot!
Wow thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for information in how to do this D chord easier
That's how I do it!
Very interesting ❤
Do you have a tutorial on Malaguena? If not can you do one please from beginning to end🙏🙏
Absolute genius
Promo sm ✋
beautiful!!
Great stuff, thank you! ❤
*Promosm*
Wow, I love everything about this video. It's totally underrated.
Or put your 2nd finger on the 4th fret of the 3rd string, touching the 4th string and muting it. Then your 3rd finger on the 4th fret of the 2nd string and 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the 1st string. x 4 4 2.
X442 and 444x would be a little more advanced - also, if you look at the related blog post, we're trying to stay in first position here as well...
Thank you so much for this!
