Hi,
I love the Ukulele to, only started learning around six or seven months ago and
only know four or five chords, progress is slow due to having full time work
and other commitments besides that, however I do find it a lovely instrument to
play and am really enjoying being able to sing and play it, that’s something
I’ve always struggled to do on Piano but on Ukulele I am able to sing and play
together. Hoping to go back to the bill brown stuff when I have a week of in a
couple of weeks and really get down to trying to expand my chord playing
abilities and start mastering more of the picking as well.
My hope is one day to get good enough on the Ukulele in order to then try and
graduate to the Guitar. In regards to my music, singing is my main passion and
I am hoping to start learning Amadaious pro on my Mac so I am able to start
recording some of my own stuff. I wondered if anyone could suggest the best USB
microphone that might be good enough for this.
Best wishes.
Ian Mcnamara

Hello Roger and Andy,
I did have look at that link Roger, but couldn't get it to play for some
reason. I also looked up podcasts, but again struggled to find anything that
suits. Perhaps Andy is right, I will just have to troll through youtube and
see what I can find.
I was hoping that an old hand blind Ukulele player might have their own stash
of songs that they might be willing to share.
Anyway thanks once more for your help and advice.
Cheers,
Paul

Dear Paul,
Have a read of:
https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/eduardo-uke-ukulele-teacher-and-blogger/ukulele-podcast-how-to-play-ukulele-easyukulelesongscom/e/36689013
and check out if this might work for you.
Perhaps do a search for podcasts over the internet and see if anything comes
up which you find helpful.
Regards,
Roger Firman.

Hi Sandra,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I am guessing that podcasts would be much better, but don't know of any that
I could try unfortunately. Thought there might be someone on here who has
resolved that issue, and could recommend a way forward. I have searched and
searched on Google, but have had no luck so far.
Thanks once more.
Paul

Hello Paul,
It can be hard learning from videos. The expectation is that, if you're
watching a video, you have the eyeballs to do this. Have you tried podcasts?
If contributors instruct on a podcast or radio show, they will describe their
actions, as if you cannot see them. If you have found videos and like a
particular instructor, perhaps you could send them a private email and
request a fingering guide. If the piece of music is popular enough, there may
well be a suggested fingering guide available on a search engine anyway.
Very best wishes,
Sandra.

Hi
I have just joined this list. I am a 66 year old Ukulele player of
sorts! I have been playing nearly 2 years and love it. My question to
you is where can I find a source of videos that give clear instruction
on learning new songs. I find too often the teacher will say put your
fingers like this (groan), and immediately I am lost. I have Bill
Browns stuff, but am looking for more up beat tunes, rather than
Tiptoe through the Tulips, and other similar tunes. Can anyone offer
any suggestions please?
Thanks
Paul
