Matt's Mega Ukulele Challenges!
Next challenge:
Love Songs
Matt’s Mega Ukulele Challenge is a fun way to get you playing regularly and having heaps of fun. Recording yourself playing is one of the very best ways to track your progress and challenge yourself to improve. Think of it almost like an online open mic, but with our wonderful supportive community cheering you on. Each few weeks I’ll set a challenge such as playing a particular themed song or showcasing a particular technique.
All levels of playing are welcome. It’s not about showing off. It’s about supporting each other to be creative, have fun and progress. Each time I’ll pick two winners. Winners won’t just be picked on ability but creativity, progress in your playing, originality and just whatever makes me smile. So even if you’re an absolute beginner who knows 3 chords you have as much chance as someone who has been playing years. All winners get a set of my button badges including a special ‘Matt Thinks I’m Ace!’ badge.
Post your videos either at my Facebook page here:

It’s not long until Valentines Day so let’s do love songs this time. Now these don’t have to be saccharine ballads (though they are of course welcome) - any kind of love song or even break up song is fine too! It could be the blues, punk, traditional or pop.
For this challenge I’m going to send the winners a ukulele strap and/or badges. Just let me know which you prefer (and both is fine too!)
Don’t forget to mention Matt’s Mega Challenge in the title and if you can use the hashtag #mattsmegachallenge10 that would really help!
Last challenge: In with the NEW
Congratulations to winners Rhema Gabriella and Richard Wooller for their winning entries this time around. I loved Rhema’s use of fingerpicking as well and strumming and Richard’s very own arrangement of Mull of Kintyre was really impressive. Well done guys!
