Thank you for doing this tutorial. Can you also do a tutorial on how to strum fast? Thank you 😊

Por favor, me encantaría aprender a tocar (Tems - Me & U) en mi ukelele.☺️🙏🏽🙏🏽

Would this also apply for guitar?

Such a great lesson. I needed that. Thanks. Can you do a video doing that fast strum you did in slow motion?

🌺Puamana, located in Lahaina Maui, is one of Hawaii’s most famous songs that is sung and danced the world over… Read below for the history of this song and how it came to be. Comment below your favorite Hawaiian song… 😉🤙🏼 The Story of Puamana in Aunty Irmgard’s own words. My father [Charles Farden] had bought a piece of property [situated oceanfront on Front Street in Lahaina], and on the deed appeared the name “Puamana.” Dad, knowing the Hawaiian language well, said, “Well, that is a good name for our place.” He built our home, which was a large six bedroom, two bath home, and he called it “Puamana.” That name was chiseled into the stone wall leading to the house. We moved into Puamana in 1916. I was four years old. One of the things I remember so well is that my father took the nine of us children and gave each of us a sprouting coconut tree. He had some holes dug along the stone wall near the ocean. And he said, “Children, each one of you are to plant your coconut tree, and as that tree grows, so will you grow.” Well, we planted them. Later, there were two more children and the youngest two were taken by mother and dad, each given a sprouting coconut and they were planted. Now the trees are tall, bending toward the ocean, and they are still on the land of Puamana, though the home is no longer there. This home was such a happy one for me. Later, I wrote a song about it, and in it I mention the coconut trees. It was in 1937 that I composed “Puamana.” I was home on a visit (I was teaching on Moloka’i), and suddenly-I was just sitting at the piano playing-and this tune came. I said to my sister Emma [Emma Farden Sharpe, who later became a beloved kumu hula on Maui], “Come, do a few steps of the hula to this song that I am just composing.” She asked, “What song is it?” I said, “It’s going to be for Puamana” with no hesitation, although I didn’t even know that yet-I hadn’t planned it. But it must have been the love for this place that brought this all about. I got the tune, and my sisters gathered ‘round with their instruments-we had the bass, the piano, the ‘ukulele, the guitar. And we started to hum it in harmony. Then Dad came home for lunch. I said (before he even had a chance to eat), “Dad, come sit down and help us with Hawaiian words for this song for Puamana.” As we threw him phrases, he would translate them into Hawaiian. Because we had planted those coconut trees as youngsters and watched them grow over the years, I had to include them in the second verse of the song. Puamana has since become the “family song” for the Fardens, and although Irmgard composed more than 200 songs in her lifetime, it is “Puamana”--telling the story of her beloved childhood home in Lahaina--that is always sung and danced at every family occasion (including her funeral).

great info from true pros! Thank you guys

yesssah

yesssh

Beautiful

the goat of ukulele and also my teacher 😌

that’s my teacherrrrrrtr

Awesome bro

I love low action too, dear Jonah. I've been at too high an action with my guitars all my life until recently. Some luthiers have started drilling two-hole/string bridges of that reason, to increase break angle, esp at low action. Please tell me: what action at the nut, say, at 1st fret, do you use and recommend for a typical baritone uke. To explain: I'm after the baritone basics as mine is somewhere around 0.5 mm of space there, which seems mighty much to me. I'm trying to understand this my new instrument better, the lovely uke. So interesting vid I must say, this one of yours, interesting and friendly. All the best from Sweden.

Tell me more about the classes! Thanks. 😀🥳

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the people at Koaloha. It was fun. Very good promo for Koaloha ukuleles. Thanks.

Thanks for the tips.. Great video.

Aright !!!

Thanks for a great video it's fantastic to see where my KoAloha uke came from 👍🎼🎵🎶🎼🙂🤙🏽 Best wishes to all in Hawaii after the terrible fires 😢

The satin finish also allows the grain of the wood to stand out more than a glossy finish would. Less light reflection to block it.

Maika'i no, Mr. Sandy Bags! Good seeing you!

It started good then got really really windy at the end there.

Happy May Day!

Aloha Jonah: Mahalo for your stringing method, I will definitely use it when I restring my Baritone Ukulele this week. I will be using Martin Florida carbon strings to see how they sound. Mahalo and Happy New Year. ClydeOrtego

Yes Brother so killer:)

What a great video! 😊

The kids wanted to jam with you.

Manny is just the best! I love his story about playing and learning on his own and doing it his way. I love this because I am the same way.

So unique and beautiful.

I just ordered my custom concert with Manny. I told him free rein to do as you please with it,my friend, surprise me. I’m so excited!

Jonah, this is excellent and you have hit on so many of the most important aspects that make a real, live(in person or zoom/FaceTime/Skype etc.)teacher, essential. It is no doubt the best way to learn music. Of all the things you mentioned, maybe the relationship aspect is the most critical…and you can’t develop that with just watching online videos. I am a retired middle school band director(concert band/jazz band/all wind, brass, percussion instruments)and have seen first hand, the importance of real instruction. Not to mention my own lifetime experience as a student/teacher! I began playing ukulele in 2009, after 22 yrs as a band director. For a year I taught myself and then knew that to proceed I needed a teacher. It’s not an easy task to find an ukulele teacher in Maine! I was fortunate to have a great player right in my area and that put me on a track to push myself. The pandemic changed lots of things, but it led me into private lessons with Jeff Peterson, my teacher now, for more than two years. It was a game changer. Jonah, please keep on doing what you’re doing and thank you for your wisdom and the spirit of Aloha that you exude. ❤❤
