FREE Weekly Ukulele Lesson

Hey UUers!

While we were busy at the 2012 NAMM Show last month, February snuck up on us with a quickness! But don’t fret, your February episode of Uke Lessons is right here – this month Aldrine shows you how to play “Under The Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers on the ukulele.

This one has a finger picking intro that might take awhile to master, but once you do, it’s incredibly fun to play! So take it slow, repeat it in sections to build up that muscle memory, and put it all together for some red, hot, chili-peppery ukulele goodness. Try it out and let us know what you think!

February is for lovers, so be sure to take the time this month and show that special uke of yours some love. Rock on & keep strummin’!

Aloha,
-UU Staff

We also have previous years coverage there as well but if you only want to watch the new videos, here is Day 1 and Day 2. Day 3 coming tomorrow.

Note: In the fretboard diagram on the whiteboard behind Kalei, the last note under the E string (5th fret, E string) should be an A (not a G). Sorry about that, guys

Hey UUers!

Over the past few months we’ve been working really hard on some exciting new stuff here in the Underground – here’s a sneak peek of the “Master Class” series that is being developed to help you become a better ukulele player! In Master Class episodes, exclusive seminars are taught and broken down by working professional ukulele players just for your practicing pleasure.

Available to all UU+ members
Kalei Gamiao’s Master Class, Improving Your Ukulele Playing!

In Part 3 of this workshop, Kalei shows you two right hand techniques to help add some interesting strumming effects to your ukulele playing. These techniques require quite a bit of control with your right hand, so take it slow and practice them often to really get them down.

Have fun and keep strummin’!
