    Great lesson, Thank you! I used to know music theory so well from playing woodwinds. Then, 30 years went by without playing any instruments. Learning to play the Uke during Covid and dusting off some old skills. This is a great refresher which will speed up the precess. Much appreciated! :)

    Don't forget everyone to practice! Play popular songs from chord charts and tabs, recognize what you've learned in theory so you can internalize and contextualize it and make it your own.

    I recently got a ukulele & while I've been able to learn how to play songs by tutorial I didn't understand why & how. The answer I keep getting is that I need to learn theory & scales. Life on the road prevents me from normal lessons. Thank you for this. Theory & scales already started to make some sense with just one view.

I’ve been playing guitar on and off for 20 years and have been really getting into the ukulele lately, but no matter how many times I’ve tried over the years, music theory has not made enough sense to remain in my memory. If the rest of your lessons are as good as this one, I feel like I will finally understand it! Thank you

    It is not the first video I was watching about this topic. And I started with really no(!) theoretical knowledge about music. I barely know, what a rhythm is. And for sure it is the best video in helping me understand music so far.
    After this video I was able to „construct“ a D-minor chord from scratch and knew, why my fingers was, where they had to be.
    And tadaaa: It actually was the normal D-Minor chord I could find on google.
    I thank you very, very much. And the PDF is helping a lot too.
    I am totally exited for the next parts ! Best, B

    Absolutely brilliant - as an older person (ahem😂) i was following youtube lessons by a lovely young lady BUTcould not understand why there were 2 c’s one on the open C string and one on fret 3 of the A string…. And they sounded different. I am a complete musical illiterate as you can see. I find it incredibly difficult to learn something i do not understand, i am not a child who can learn by rote and having learned then can flesh it out with theory later on. So thankyou these videos will help immeasurabley 🥰
