This weeks MVOW comes all the way from Germany, see I told you the UU was everywhere. WS64 has always posted his great videos and we thought it was about time he be featured on the mainpage. Here’s his medley of four George Harrison songs, Here Comes The Sun/Gently Weeps/Something/My Sweet Lord.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the April contest so hopefully this video will clear some things up.

Also, tomorrow April 8, 2008 around 5:00pm HST (8:00pm PST) Aldrine will be doing a live stream. He’ll play some songs, maybe answer some questions, it’ll be a good time. The link to the stream will be posted here tomorrow.

In this week’s Uke Minutes, Aldrine teaches you the basics of the hammer on technique. Building on what you learned in the Major Scales tutorial, you will now be able to incorporate hammer ons into your ukulele skillset.

That’s right - April is the month we show even more love to the people of the Underground by giving away another (this time, even nicer) Free Ukulele!! It’s the “Oh, The Places Uke Will Go!” video contest, sponsored by KALA Ukuleles!

Here’s what you need to do:
1. Make a video of yourself and your ukulele in front of a landmark. Hometown, state, national, whatever. Basically anyplace that ukes can go.
2. Say your name (or screen name) and tell your viewers that you’re from the Ukulele Underground. Something like, “Hi, my name is BlahBlah_653 and I’m a part of the Ukulele Underground!! Stay tuned, because we’re about to change the world.” Or something to that effect.
3. Tag your video with the phrase “Ukulele Underground”
4. Submit it to the Official Contest Thread.

Done.

If you can’t get a hold of a camcorder, just find a good landmark and take a picture of yourself and your uke in front of it. Add your caption and tag it up with the info above and post it in the Contest thread.

We’ll be accepting only one entry per person - so make yours the best it can be! We’ll announce the winner at the end of April. Good Luck!!

*Oh yeah, if you would like to see the Ukulele that we’re giving away, it’s actually the very same model that Ukulele_Junkie reviewed a few weeks ago (plus a case!). Click HERE to see his video review.
