In our unending quest to help UU’ers to shred on ukulele, we bring to you this week’s episode of UKE MINUTES: Finger Stretching Warm-ups! Practice these simple stretching exercises to help you reach for intervals you have never reached before! But be sure to take it easy - this is just a warm-up, not a pain-tolerance test.

For more tips and tricks, checkout our handy-dandy Uke Minutes section, or holla at all our favorite people in the Forum!

This week, we’re switching it up a bit and featuring a video that is not a performance vid. UKISOCIETY compares the sound of his 6 soprano ukuleles. It’s always fun seeing other’s ukulele collections, as we all know, collecting these things may and often does become habit forming. He also has a similar video for his tenors.

As if we haven’t had enough excitement for one day, this week’s episode rolls around with a blazing hot strum technique: the 5-Finger Roll! *Que 70’s style Kung-fu music* Don’t let appearances fool you - this handy uke party trick may seem simple at first glance, but try it for yourself and you’ll realize that it may take some practice. (But what technique would be any good if it didn’t require a little practice?). Give it a shot, then let us know what you think!
