Hey UUers! Thanks for swinging by – you’re just in time for an episode of UKE MINUTES!

Last week, Aldrine introduced an awesome three-finger picking technique to emphasize your C string when you are playing a chord (if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out Uke Minutes 35 – C String Bass Technique). In this week’s episode of Uke Minutes, we add a special CHUNK to this technique to make it even awesome-er.

Check it out and let us know what you think! *ALSO* don’t forget, there’s only one week left to send in your entries for our -

>>“Bling Fo’ Yo’ Thing” Ukulele Give-Away Contest<<.

This month, we’re giving away a brand new Kala Koa, Cedar-Top Concert Ukulele, so send in those entries for your chance to win!

This week’s MVOW comes from the very talented ColinB (Barley C on YouTube) and his original song “Island of alone”

This song reminds us about the simple side of ukulele and even gave us a visual with pictures of sand, beach, and shells. We can almost FEEL like we’re in the “island of alone” 

Ukulele definitely at its finest.

Sorry this one was a little late. There’s no excuse for it, it was late, my bad (Aldrine) but hey it’s still Monday! Better late than early… no wait… how does that go again?

So let’s all rock out like 5-o-clock time means pop-n-lock time and our ukulele is our dance partner. Till next time you ukulele heroes!

Talk about this episode with other uke players HERE.

Hey UUers! Yay for Uke Minutes! In this week’s episode, Aldrine shows us a fingerpicking technique that allows you to ring out the bass note of each chord using your thumb! Perfect for slower songs or tunes that call for minimal strumming, the C String Bass Technique can make for great solo performing or lively accompaniment. Check it out, try it, and tell us what you think!

Here’s how to it: … Read more

“Confused in California” and “Furiously strumming‘ ask us some questions. High G? Low g? What do I do now?

Live Lesson Wednesday! Come on down around 2:00pm Hawaii Time (4pm PST).

This week we got a video from the archives of the infamous “UCB,” a cover of Oasis’ “Cast no shadow” featuring CulpRJ and Russ_Buss

The UCB Channel is filled with awesome videos from some of our FORUM members. They post collaboration videos while being hundreds or thousands of miles apart. The ukulele is quite an instrument that brings people together. Witty, funny, awesome, and talented people. UCB is a great example of that.

So grab your ukes and let’s gather ’round the internet campfire. We’ll rock out like the city is on fire – a fire that can only be extinguished by playing “I’m Yours” … again (and again, and again).

Peace out uke-homies
