Hey UUers!

Alright, last time on Uke Minutes we brought you the concept of Triplets – this time, the infamous Triplet Strum! Try it out, use it to add a little flare to your strumming pattern, and show us what you come up with!

For those of you who missed the Ukulele Underground Award Show (“The Undies!“) where we gave away a brand new Kala Thinline ukulele, don’t fret, we’ve got a brand new ukulele give-away contest coming up soon. Thanks to everyone who hung out with us during the Undies – Stay tuned for more info and more awesome stuff from the Underground!

How to use Classical Guitar Strings on your ukulele!

Step 1: Buy Classical guitar strings (you will need two packs, or you can buy single strings.)
Step 2: String your ukulele using the high classical E string where your ukulele G would go, a classical G string where your ukulele C would go, a classical B string where your ukulele E would go, and another high E classical string where your uke A string would go. So pretty much -

Classical -> Ukulele
e -> G
G -> C
B -> E
e -> A

That’s it! If you don’t want to spend the extra money or time buying two sets of guitar strings or tracking down individual strings, we offer D’Addario Pro Arte classical guitar strings in the UU Store, PRE-PACKAGED in convenient ukulele sets with all of the strings you need! Tenor and Concert sets available. Check them out and get your high tension on!

Have a terrific Thursday!

Hey UUers!

Within the past few weeks, this song has been everywhere! On the radio, all over YouTube, in our inboxes, and even on Aldrine’s Formspring. So, always out to please, we bring you this month’s episode of Uke Lessons –
“Nothin’ On You” by B.o.B!

Featuring fellow YouTuber and ukulele player, ayegeee! This guy has been doing some pretty legit covers on uke, so if you like this, definitely check out and subscribe to his YouTube (he totally needs more subs!).

Thanks to everyone who sent their messages, texts, and positive thoughts our way on Saturday – it worked! Can’t wait to see all of you at the UU Award Show (“The Undies!”), rescheduled for THIS SATURDAY (March 6th) at 2pm HST (4pm PST, 7pm EST). Hope your week is awesome!

Hey UUers!

Since 6am this morning, Tsunami Warning sirens have been sounding in Hawaii due to the earthquake in Chile. We are all safe here – no tsunami made it to Hawaii, unfortunately, the roads haven’t opened yet and we will have to postpone the Ukulele Underground Award Show for now. Many thanks to YOU for stopping by, we are really sorry for this unfortunate change in plans. We still have LOTS of free stuff to give away and awards for the winners, so the Undies will be rescheduled soon!

Much Mahalo,
