I've watched a few of your videos and always get something out of them but this one, with your solo at the end, really put a smile on my face. Been playing the uke for maybe six months now and steadily building up a few skills and a play list but your lessons just add a whole new dimension and a whole lot of fun, thank you so much !!
Awesome!! So glad to hear. Make a list of the skills & tunes you want to work on every month...there’s a great magic in writing it down (and of course your list is subject to your own changes)...be well,Stu
Excellent lesson. Thanx

Well done to Chris, I was learning to play uke, like you I now have cancer, unfortunately I can't seem to force myself to do anything just feel so tired all the time. So you keep it up and enjoy. All the best to you. X
This is one of those a-ha moments. Stu, you’re the greatest. 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Great channel name by the way. 🙏
Stu explains the 'feel' of playing songs or parts on the uke like no other on YT or elsewhere
Many thanks Strappa! Glad you’re enjoying and playing along 🙌🎶😃
@@UkuleleZen as a beginner a few years ago, from guitar, I took massive inspiration from your lessons, the whole vibe. I'm sure many feel the same Stu, keep strumming and sharing the love my man, from. Chiang Mai, Thailand.
I love your mellow . I'm a dead broke bipolar war vet with ptsd. I'm experimenting with ukulele therapy , and pot .
I find your ' make it fun' attitude , precisely what I need . As with all musicians, I wish I could pay you for the hours you put in .

Why thank you Amy!! Glad it was helpful! 🎶😀
Will definitely practice this to hopefully get to the mind blowing level of that bit at the end. Awesome.
Hey, Stuart! Best 10+ minutes I ever spent since I've been playing the ukulele again (after an 20 year absence). Never thought I'd be able to play blues on the ukulele, but now I can see that it's possible. THANKS!
Love this! Great instruction that I will put into practice now!!! Thank you Uke Zen Master

Counting oh my oh my. Loved the extra notes thrown in and strong 2 and 4 beats. Good skills for me to work on. Many thanks.
Counting..mooo haha haha ;) But really, the backbeat is a great thing to feel & put into your strum!

I love watching your videos Stuart. They are always at a tempo for us newer players to be able to follow, so direct and easy and fun and your laid-back demeanor make it fun to play along with you. This is a great video. I am really wanting to learn to play some rifts or I think they are called licks and techniques like this to spice up songs I learn. This is a fantastic start. Thank You! Have a great weekend. Laura

Your F to the G move is so smooth barely recognisable
But i learned the hinge movement by watching your hand in movement
Thank you
Thanks Lori...with practice, the movements become more & more fluid. Practice in a way that invites a smooth feeling & smooth sound. It will come when we listen for it ;-) PLAY ON!
Great lesson! Thank you 😊
Omg, is he even human?! :-D

Awesome!
Thats Shelly!
Nice , i call this the 9 chorded 12 bar blues improvisation because each chord of C, F G are made up of two other minor and dominant 7th chords
Adding 9th chords is a tasty thing to do in a blues for sure!
