Lesson Description
The guys are back from their uke cruise and ready for more Live Lesson action. Aldrine kicks things off with a question about second beat emphasis. He explains when to use the thumb to strum, and demonstrates the invisible pick. Aldrine quickly goes over the backing chords for "Body Surfing" before talking about the Ukulele Cruise and the Denver Uke Fest. The guys wrap up the lesson with a spirited conversation about their favorite ukulele players. Kahai names some of the current big hitters of the uke world, while Aaron leans toward the young gun, up-and-comers, and Aldrine struggles to pick from players of all genres and generations.
