There are millions of videos, millions of tutorials... BUT I finally found my master haha. It makes a lot of fun - so thanks for that! Bought my ukulele back in 2016, but never really got into it a lot. I just learned some chords, played by myself and now that I'm in quarantine I thought it would be nice to play the uke everyday. And your videos are perfect! You're a very good teacher. Thank god there are lots of videos... one each day
Hey JF, thanks so much for the kind words and glad to have you learning with me! Let me know how the rest of the series goes and if you’re looking for more learning tools visit www.allforuke.com/lessons where I have pdfs, practice tracks and quite a library of songs/lessons. Keep in touch - Kevin
I'm 76 and a uke playing friend recently turned me on to the instrument. I find these tutorials especially useful, and they really encourage me to keep on practising!
I really want to thank YOU. I don't even need to mention the clarity and detail of the narration and the organization of ur videos, they are already wonderful, but most of all, every time you say "don't forget to smile, you're playin the uke, enjoy" tiny lil butterfly of joy comes alive in me and I reaally enjoy what I am doin! Thank you for reminding this feeling each time cuz its easy to forget(especially in barre chords). U re the best! May ur smile never fade away (:
I put the uke down for a year, and am back, and wanted to tell you again, how much I love the lessons, and the "smile, you are playing the ukulele" comments.
Thank you so much - what an incredible teacher you are. I've stopped flitting about and sticking with you. In one day learned so much I chose finger picking to make a change from strumming & singing alone during quarantine also to not be over confident. Finally you've given me my mojo back to continue learning and not be discouraged with what I cannot do (although my little finger WILL NOT stay down when picking ) early days though. So glad I found you.
Yes! Of all the tutorials out there I finally found the best! I conquered Day 1 and because of that I am not intimidated and practicing it makes it easier. This tutorial is so beginner's friendly, easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much!

I have had a Ukulele for more than 3 years but recently bought a better one in order to have something to keep myself busy during the corona lockdown. I now start and end every day with a little practice and I am already improving. Your videos are so much fun! Thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany 🎼
Kevin is the best. I’m about 2 weeks into my ukulele venture and have watched all the uke tutorials you could think of. But when it comes down to writing stuff to practice everyday in my note pad, it’s mainly his stuff I’m writing. Makes it easy to learn but also has some advanced stuff towards the end so I’m always pushing myself to get to where I can do the whole vid. Well done dude. Keep em coming.
Out of all the ukulele tutorial videos on TH-cam, I like yours the best. Thank you for sharing such valuable knowledge of yours with so much patience and love. Love and Blessings from India 🙏
Appreciate you, Alana! For more learning resources such as practice tracks, song sheets, and exclusive content, drop by the AllForUke community site and have a look around. All the best - Kevin | allforuke.com
Discovered your videos this morning while looking for finger style instruction. Your tip on the pinky was just what was needed to anchor the right hand close to the strings.
Quite a few good teachers on TH-cam but as a beginner I really appreciate your pace of instruction. Just the right amount to soak in per video. Good job
Thank you for your no-nonsense teaching method. Beginning so slowly helps to phase out old techniques that maybe arent so efficient to build upon. I also appreciate the Em to B7 switchback, since I need work on that movement.
Thanks for giving such clear simple instructions. Thanks also for being so verbally clear in your in ssd instructions I'm visually impaired and honestly cant see stuff that's flashed on a screen sometimes. I'm working with lessons 1 and 2 in this series for now. I enjoy my progress!
i refused to do anything else until i learned all the 5 days :D i finished it in a day but tbf i did know how to play and how to pluck i was just confused so thanks for this it really helped out
You are awesome, Kevin, your teaching style is unbeatable. I've wanted to learn the Uke for a while, but watching your tutorials has given me determination! Thank you so very much; I look forward to each and all of your lessons. 💜
I've been looking for good finger picking resource and am so glad I found you. Thank you, you are a truly gifted teacher. I find the pinky finger aching a little from its job to stabilise the hand when finger picking....is this normal and part of the process? Thank you again.
It would be great to see an over head or side shot so I can tell how to hold my right hand and how much tilt you have on you uke. Thanks. Cannot seem to get it right. Thanks.
Thanks Colin! For more learning resources such as practice tracks, song sheets, and exclusive content, drop by the AllForUke community site and have a look around. All the best - Kevin | allforuke.com
Gosto muito destas aulas que são muito boas e que ensinam muito bem para quem quer realmente aprender ukulele, hoje só não aprende quem não quer. Tenho 77 anos e a música ajuda me muito a passar o tempo, aprendo ukulele, guitarra e piano e assim se passam os dias entre outras coisas a fazer. Querer é poder.
Its first time ever that I actually cant wait so much for a next video on youtube. I learn uke by myself for like 6 months now, mostly focusing on full chords but with your help I'm able to pick up some picking too! Thank you!
Kevin it would be great if you could give us a song with the finger picking. For me I practice more if I can relate the exercise to a song. Hope this makes sense. Loving the lessons. Thanks.
I’am very eager to learn fingerpicking ( because I like it very much)in the right way, so I was looking at the seconds and counting them: great spectacle❗️here in Holland 🇳🇱 it started at 23 hours 😀
Good day, I am from the Philippines. This is very helpful. Im done with my 1st day and 2nd day of fingerpicking lesson. I practice uke everyday. Thank you and more blessings ♥️♥️
I hope I'll learn this in no time, because I'm already 50, hehehe I just start learning uke when I found Bernadette Channel and now I found you too. i love u both, You're mentor.
@@slcfutbolfan I am 77 and just ordered my first Uke today. I've watched two days with this teacher and I know his love for the instrument will inspire me to keep up with my practice. Just today I remembered a quote found in an old piano instruction book many years ago which read: "I never dreamed with my own hands I could reach up and touch the sky!" I believe fingerpicking a Ukelele has the capacity to inspire that same feeling in each one of us.
thanks a lot for this wonderful series, Kevin, your tutorial is easy to understand and even a beginner like me can play along, which is so encouraging !
Kevin, Tysm for your lessons, they're great. After 5 days of practice I could do it. When I played for the first time one of two strings didn't ring out, but now two of them ring. And today I forgot about my pinkie, so I wrote in my copybook to not forget about in next time. So, tysm for your lessons, they're really helpful. Love from Russia
I just stumbled across your channel and wish I’d found you sooner! I’ve been playing for almost a decade but my skills pretty much plateaued after the first year of learning. Learning online can be tricky when you can’t quite see if your form is correct but your videos are really clear and easy to follow along. I’m hoping I’ll commit to following one video per day to be a better uke player. Thanks so much for sharing these with us 😁
thanks keven, I have really enjoyed learning these fingerpicking patterns. it is my first in fingerpicking , I feel as though I have mastered them well, but now I am having trouble applying them to a song I'm fairly new to uke and have only strummed . I was hoping you could end this series with examples of a few songs for each pattern. thanks Love it!
Thanks a lot buddy!!! you make my day, as I said I have difficulty in folding my fingers I find your tutorials great!! I shall keep practicing my Ukulele. Your videos are awesome!!!
I struggled a bit with the first lesson. I just couldn’t seem to consistently switch to the right strings very quick. But this... this is beautiful. Thank you for this lesson.

@@AllForUke Wow! Thank you so much, that's awesome! I'll be here practicing with your videos!
"keep smiling you're playing uke" thats why i love kevin. 😅
Did you keep smiling 😊
@@AllForUke of course KEVIN..THank you for providing some happiness through your lessons 🥰
take care..say hi from my behalf to your doggos..❤️
I know right!
I love this part too.
I'm 76 and a uke playing friend recently turned me on to the instrument. I find these tutorials especially useful, and they really encourage me to keep on practising!
Hey there, how is it going by now ?
I love it when you say" keep smiling!"
It is all easy and fun until the Em and B7 appeared
The Em is way easier than the B7 though
Hahhahaahaah
The hard part is always transition... Anyway, patience & practice r our friend :)
can relate LMAO
Hehe
I really want to thank YOU. I don't even need to mention the clarity and detail of the narration and the organization of ur videos, they are already wonderful, but most of all, every time you say "don't forget to smile, you're playin the uke, enjoy" tiny lil butterfly of joy comes alive in me and I reaally enjoy what I am doin!

May ur smile never fade away (:
I seriously learn so much from your vids. Never thought I'd actually be playing and writing songs. Thank you!
I put the uke down for a year, and am back, and wanted to tell you again, how much I love the lessons, and the "smile, you are playing the ukulele" comments.
I am 73 and having a great time learning with Kevin!! My goal is to put a few lines from Psalms with some chords. Thank you, Kevin!!
Thank you so much - what an incredible teacher you are. I've stopped flitting about and sticking with you.

Thanks so much for learning with me Keroy - hope you’ll join me for my strumming and play ukulele every day series. - Kevin
Im so exciting to learn picking! Thank you for this excellent lesson
Thanks! I am 69 and stared few months ago with Ukulele. Your lesson helps me a lot. But I play couple of other instruments, which is helpful.
Yay! This fingerprinting tuition is Just what I need today...Thankyou Kevin, so much!

Brilliant Kevin, many thanks for this lesson, I'm loving your style of teaching, I didn't know that a ukulele could be such a fun instrument

Your patience is incredible. I haven't bought a uke, but I think I can do this.

You're a really great teacher. These lessons are excellent. I have always thought I will never be able to finger pick but here I am-picking away!
Thanks for the tutorial! What did you play at the very end????? It sounded so cool.
i refused to do anything else until i learned all the 5 days :D i finished it in a day but tbf i did know how to play and how to pluck i was just confused so thanks for this it really helped out

Thank You for sharing, your videos are helpful and you are a good teacher, I will definitely look for your PDFs.
Super great lesson, massive thanks!

I appreciate your clear explanations as well as the practical tips.
Hi. Kev. I have just started and I like Finger Picking and really enjoying your lessens. From Steve Maryan I am 67
Yes! Before I even watched the entire video I looked up that gorgeous bamboo uke. Wow. Beautiful!
So impressed with this ukulele! Liked it so much I decided to take it on a trip with me. Have you ever played an Aklot?
AllForUke no I haven’t played an Aklot or a tenor size. I have a concert and would like to try tenor. Thanks for playing this one:)
What concert do you play?
AllForUke It’s a Kala. 🌸
Good day, I am from the Philippines. This is very helpful. Im done with my 1st day and 2nd day of fingerpicking lesson. I practice uke everyday. Thank you and more blessings ♥️♥️

Another great lesson. Great looking ukulele.
I’m starting to get it after 56 years of owning a Ike. Thanks. I’m ready to play with pearls jam almost!!

Thanks a lot buddy!!! you make my day, as I said I have difficulty in folding my fingers I find your tutorials great!! I shall keep practicing my Ukulele. Your videos are awesome!!!
Ideal for guitar players taking up uke but not having a clue how and where to start...glad i stumbled across your videos
Hi Kevin! Thank you so much for your videos!!
Thank you for the lesson. Love the pace of teaching. I am a beginner and just finished Day 1 (took two weeks of practice) Now on to Day 2.
Awesome tutorial Kevin. I finally found the right one. Very friendly for a beginner like me.
I struggled a bit with the first lesson. I just couldn’t seem to consistently switch to the right strings very quick. But this... this is beautiful. Thank you for this lesson.
Excellent Teacher!
That was awesome brother pretty and easy ❤
Lovely lessons. Great teachng style. Thanks1
The second sequence sounds beautiful, reminds me of a French movie soundtrack. Thank you!!!!
The XY me too! Reminds me of Amalie soundtrack ❤️
I made it up on the spot and my partner said “ooh that sounds moody” lol
Amélie Poulain.....
Great patterns! I need to work on my E -> B7 transition, but it is such a pretty sound.
Such a cool chord change - keep at it and you’ll be glad you did
oh yes ready for day 2 now!
