Hiya, pleased to meet you. Stukulele became my 'persona' when I became a ukulele instructor in 2011. I am from Mullumbimby, Northern New South Wales, Australia, and am a James Hill Ukulele Initiative Certified Level 3 teacher.

I began playing the ukulele at age 42 after being gifted a ukulele for fathers day. Things have not been the same since. My (at the time) 6-year-old daughter landed me my first teaching job at her primary school… then came community colleges… after 4 terms my students asked where do we go now? A monthly UKE NIGHT – Uke Mullum led by my partner Miss Amber and me... 'Stukulele' was born in July 2011 in the middle of our winter… over 200 people showed up on a Wednesday night.

Since then I have been creating monthly themed UKE NIGHTS which consists of choosing a theme, then picking 20 + songs that fit the theme to create a songbook. Then I assemble the best vocalists and musicians to present the themed set live for an audience of folk who sing and strum along. It’s a month-long process in which I learn and teach songs that I have often never played, and sometimes even heard.

Why you may ask? Because I love it. Music is the language of love and it keeps your brain active, staving off all the ravages of old age. The Ukulele just makes the whole process so enjoyable and achievable. Come with me every month, be involved in choosing the monthly themes.. discover and learn new songs. Broaden your repertoire, your mind, ukulele skills, and compassion, speak the language of love and be a part of a community of like-minded folk.

The D to Bm trick is a ray of sunshine, thank you.

So good to find you doing Baritone. I have recently retired and have tried guitar but struggle with it. Found a baritone and it’s the instrument for me. Not much on YouTube for the baritone and particularly not as clear as your explanations. Excellent.

GREAT LESSON!!! Very informative! Keep them coming! Looking forward to the next one!

I'm trying to learn how to play the baritone just started I'll be back thank you. I appreciate it there's not a lot on YouTube for the baritone

[BriggSimeon]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills on this video. I enjoyed it

I'm really interested in getting a baritone. I currently have a concert and a Banjolele. I was going to get a tenor with a low G, but if I go down the Baritone route and put a capo on the 5th fret I've got the best of both worlds 😊

Hi Uke beautiful looking instrument I’ve just bought my first Baton Rouge Baritone ukulele after years of fighting to play the guitar with a bad shoulder. I’m hoping scaling down in size prolongs my playing👍

Very informative. Thank you very much Stu. I love the very careful instruction.

At 12:00 you mention a lesson on the blues scale - have you posted this yet?

[kimarkpemberton]

Great tutorial, thanks! Where can I get the Baton Rouge in the video? I can't find it anywhere online?

Typo at 5.50 I think you say C I think you meant to say G as is shown ?
