Hey all - Summer has arrived and we’re doing our part to help cool you down with today’s new Uke Lesson: “Schizophrenic Snowflakes”! It’s a little lengthier than usual, with breakdowns of the “snowflake” intro and all three major themes in the song … this one should keep you busy for a bit.

But once you get it down, here’s a nice little vid for you to watch how the whole thing plays out: “Schizophrenic Snowflakes”.

Special thanks to

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.
