      Cynthia Lin Music hi Cynthia. I don’t own a ukulele but is there such thing as an upchuck? Because there is a down chuck.

      transitioning from chord to chord. I am practicing every day and its getting better but it would be nice to know some practice techniques that may help with this.
      Thank you SO SO SO much for all you do! I LOVE my uke! I am blessed to have you as a teacher!

      I'm not sure that I strum my uke correctly. I know you've covered it before, but I still can't seem to get the right lovely sound. Do you use your nails or the pads of your fingers? And thumb or first finger. When I've tried with a pick, it slows me down soooo much. So any tips for that? Thanks!! LOVE your content!

      After wanting for several years to learn the Ukelele I found Arthurs Uke Blog and it seems to be the best online method (google it if you're interested)

    I love the way picking sounds! I would like to see more intermediate songs mixed in with the easy songs. The more fingerstyle the better! You are a great teacher! Your videos are very well done as well.

    Please would you make a couple more videos for banjolele beginners? I know that the videos all apply to banjolele but something specific to the instrument, to learn to match the sound and playing style, would be great. Thanks Steve. xx

    Any chance of you ever showing a side shot for beginners? I have watched a number of vids and found that my wrist was bent unnaturally. It hurt, so I start playing in front of a mirror and that improved my stance. I’ve found it best to hold my elbow close to my waist but watching you, your elbow is a fair bit away from your body (and yet your wrist is clearly in the right position). If you took an occasional shot of the Uke from the side it would help us beginners hugely.🙂
