Uke Lesson 19 – Out Of My League

Posted July 1st, 2009


Got questions about this lesson? Post them HERE.
Watch the Play-Along for this song HERE!

Hi there, UUers! Welcome to July – It’s the first of the month, which means a brand new episode of Uke Lessons! It’s also a Wednesday, which means Free LIVE Lesson (at 2pm HST)! TWO ukulele lessons in one day … Can you handle it??

>>——– Live Ukulele Lessons with Aldrine Guerrero ———<<

Thanks to everyone who encouraged us to do a lesson on “Out of My League” (by Stephen Speaks)! We wouldn’t have even attempted this one without all of you and now that it’s done, it actually wasn’t as tough as we thought it would be. Check it out and see – and be sure to give us feedback & post videos to show us what you’ve learned!

*ALSO* The brand-NEW UU Grunge T-Shirts are now available at the UU Store, just in time for summer stylish-ness. Buying one won’t make you cool, but if you’re hanging out on this site, you’re definitely a pretty awesome person already (and picking up a New UU Grunge Tee will only enhance your awesomeness quotient).

Hope your July is more than wonderful! Strum on, players.

Aloha

    Awesome job! I went to iTunes to download this song because I liked it so much. Several people had recordings but none that were NEARLY as good as your recording on youtube. Fantastic job! Thanks for putting this out there for all of us to learn from and enjoy.

    The lesson is fantastic! Such a super easy way to learn the Uke. Your singing and playing are equally impressive! You’re the real Uke Sensei! Many thanks!
