      Thanks! I do have it all tapped out in a chord solo… It’s available as part of my 72 page chord solo booklet is available at my website store...There are TH-cam videos to support most of the solos in the book. www.stufuchs.com/store

    Hi my dear friend, I'm from Venezuela, I would like to know witcht of ukelele has the best sound in order to buy one. Tnanks, you are doing very good with all of us.

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      All depends on your tastes! Concert size is nice …for a bigger body & deeper tone, try a tenor uke w a LOW GCEA tuning. Muchismas Gracias

    Hi Stu - what kind of strings do you recommend for String bending ?

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Something with low tension works well...nylon & fluorocarbon. Steel strings on a guitar bend easier, but low tension uke string will let you bend 'er up!

  • @deni-gibbs
    @deni-gibbs 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey Stu! Thanks for your lessons. When you play a string it looks like you actually put your finger on the fret. Is that how you do it?

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well Denise, I fret as close to the frets as possible to get a clean sound...this is an old habit from playing classical guitar. You can find the sweet spot that works for you by fretting right on top of the fret (that'll be a muffled sound) and move your finger just behind it to clean it up. See if you can memorize what it FEELS like when you're fingertip is snuggled right next to the fret. Be well & hope you'll subscribe & join us on Patreon for more goodies. Thanks.

    Is there much risk of busting a nylon string doing that?

      I don't think so...they're pretty flexible :-)

    Crazy idea, maybe you just do up a whole book of just Clapton 😍. I personally think that would be amazing.

      You can, yes...but you might need to change the strings ;-)
