FAB FOUR NEWS! IT’S HERE! My brand new Beatles On Ukulele course starts this week. I’ll be building a full ukulele course with hours and hours of learning covering all periods of the Beatles career. You’ll learn all kinds of ukulele skills whilst also learning to play some classic gems by the Fab Four. I’ll be mixing up the styles to cover all kinds of learning including song analysis, chord melody, Fingerstyle playing and strumming too.  I’m sharing this lesson for free: Learn Penny Lane by the Beatles on Ukulele!,https://youtu.be/_QVeQVzAWpQ To keep things interesting, rather than going chronologically I’m starting with an absolute classic from Paul, which highlights the very clever songwriting skills of McCartney. It’s the perfect illustration of how something that sounds so beautifully simple is actually fascinatingly complex. As well as analysing the song I’ll show you some simple ways to easily play the most sophisticated of chords and we’ll look at taking chords to the fretboard, adding dynamics, suspended notes, triplet strums and much more! New lessons will be added every week or two and you can either take part in the course doing each lesson as they appear or wait and do the whole thing once complete and record your progress. You will be able to get the whole course including all the sheet music, plus much more at my website.  https://mattsteadukulele.com Here is the page for the course: https://www.mattsteadukulele.com/beatles

Have you ever tried low G on your soprano ukes? It's well worth a try. People will tell you not to do it but every time I hear Herb Ohta Sr play his Martin I think - wow I need to do this!!
