My ukulele was untouched and covered in dust for 2 years. I found your channel the other day and now I can’t put it down. BIG THANK YOU!!
After I master the ukulele, I can try my guitar that has been there nearly ten years haha. YOU are my sunshine. X

I have always wanted to learn an instrument but was deterred by poor family circumstances. I am 34 now and I found a yaymaker ukulele at a thrift store the other day for 7 bucks and bought it. And then I found this awesome lesson channel and learning these 3 chords tonight made me smile soo big and really want to learn. Thank you for putting these up.

Random tutorials really capture the spirit of YouTube. The fact that I can just look up anything and there’s a tutorial for it is amazing.

This is wild: i never intended to learn Ukulele. But was walking home and a neighbour put a Ukulele on the sidewalk with a note saying: for free. So i picked it up. Found this video. And since you are a motivating teacher i am hooked. All within an hour!
