Aldrine will show you an easy way for beginners to switch chords on the ukulele. The trick is using the up strum on the 4th beat to give you a little time to reposition your fingers.
Hey UU staff,

Wow. Thanks so much for this. I was getting frustrated with myself for having to pause between chords which made the music sound all funky, but with this cool method you have demostrated, I feel like The Woman! Thanks for the videos and I can’t wait to learn more!

You might not remember me, but I was one of your first students (we only had 2 or 3 lessons), and who knows? Perhaps my recording of your lessons on video might have helped give you the idea to have video lessons?
I still have those 2 lessons (remember? I recorded them on that picnic table at the park next to the ocean in Kapaa).
Anyway, I remember talking with you about your future in ukulele. I also remember chatting casually with you and Jake Shimabukuro at the mall before he became famous.
Anyway, I’m enjoying these lessons and hope to see you playing somewhere soon.
I have a small cafe in Waimanalo (on Oahu) where we have music nights once in awhile. Check out Waimanalo Beach Cafe & Gallery.
All the best.
