Great mind blowing bar chord understanding. Learned in minutes...super!

[yvonnedoherty]

You are amazing. I enjoyed the lightheartness of the beginning and believe it or not my barre chords were better, not perfect.but better because I wasn’t freaking out about them— didn’t have time. Thanks so much— from your 80 year old fan

[lindaschifferle]

first explanation of how to roll forefinger to have a straight side to bar the chords, ty

[lucygrob]

I found a great teacher! Thank you for the lessons snd the giggles! 😄

[CandaceTravismusic]

Best help I ever got on barre chords, thanks!

[rawfoodlife]

Somehow I have managed to miss this video... until today. Stu, this is the funniest lesson to date, (but filled to the brim with absolute gems) Thanks for all the helpful barre chords tips and tricks up the neck.

[dcthim]

Educational! And Thanks for this posts Stu!!!!

I just came across this vlog. If I hadn't been watching your regular videos I would have thought you a nutcase. But I had been watching "Relaxed Stu" and so I spent much of the time laughing out loud at my computer screen. Lots of great advice in this vlog, though. In a very short time you've helped me with my uke struggles, not by teaching me chords and riffs but by placing so much emphasis on relaxation. I now spend all my uke time with a relaxed hand. Barre chords are no longer a problem for me because all my emphasis is on barre finger placement, not on trying to stuff the strings through the fretboard :-) Thanks much for those lessons.

Thank you much. Such gnosis Stu! Even at high speed. But The Gummy Monster screech frightened me. I’m okay now.

I’ve gone back to this video many times.
It’s so helpful to the novice!

Danke für diese Unterhaltsame😁 Ukuele Folge mit sehr wertvollen Tipps🙏

[raresparky]

Excellent, Stu! The second half with the Four Principles was great. I will share this with some beginner uke friends. Thanks!

[RPDCH]

I'd have learnt more, Stu, if I hadn't been laughing so much!
I had to watch it twice!
Well done & thanks.

[billgreen]

I somehow invented tip 2 for myself so I knew there was something I wasn't being told. Now you have, thank you. I will now study the rest of your work. Hooray.

[psteelman]

Indeed! Absolutely mind blowing. Will I EVER be able to do this! SURE! Betcha! Maybe? Hopefully!

[Zayaxa]

I feel like I'm ready to expand from just the basic chords involving two or three fingers and your (finger)tips (ha!) are incredibly helpful. Thank you.
