Hello guys, welcome to another exciting ukulele tutorial. In this video, I am going to talk about advanced blues turnaround in A. This is something which is generally played by the advanced ukulele players.

Like most of my videos, I have focused on the main topic without wasting time and making the video long. The turnaround uses the last 2 bars (11 and 12) of the 12 bar blues. We are going to use only 3 chords, namely:

- A chord (I)

- D7 chord (IV)

- E7 chord (V)

The 11 and 12 bars are A and E7 respectively.

In the video, I will first make you learn the turnaround and then I will give a demonstration of it by playing the 12 bar blues and showing how the turnaround is used into it.

I suggest you to first learn the turnaround properly and then try to fit it into the blues. Further, if you want to learn some more turnarounds after this video, you can check out B.B. King, Vaughan, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and Robert Johnson.

Enjoy the video!

In this video, I am going to talk about an important ukulele chord i.e. A Major. The very first thing that I want to mention is that I am using a low G for this lesson. So, if you do not have a Low G, first go grab one.

Another thing that I want to suggest is to thoroughly memorize this chord before you attempt any soloing.

I have discussed every detail about the A Major Scale by letting you guys practice both the ascending and descending motions.

I suggest that you should not rush on to improvising. Just learn and memorize the scale carefully and then move to licks and solos.

Enjoy the video!

Want to learn to play a cool Chuck Berry lick on the ukulele in the style of Johnny B. Goode? If so I got you covered.

This tutorial focuses on the main riff that can be heard on many Chuck Berry songs, including Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, and Carol. This lick is an essential component of every great blues ukulele and guitar players from Jimmy Page to Jake Shimabukuro.

For this ukulele lesson, I have transposed the song from Chuck’s original key of Bb to D. The key of D sits better on the ukulele than the key Bb. The techniques you will learn are double stops, slides, and hammer-ons.

The cool thing about the ukulele is that once you have this lick memorized in the key of D, all you have to do must do is move it up and down the neck to transpose it to different keys.

I am very saddened upon hearing the news that Ukulele Ray has passed.

About 6 months ago I started getting replies to some of my Instagram posts from someone named Ukulele Ray. He had seen my Instagram posts and since we were both located in San Diego he invited me up his house to jam.

At the time I had never heard of Ukulele Ray, but based on his posts I could tell he was quite a character. We communicated back and forth, but were unable to get together.

A month later I got another message from him, inviting to come jam with him at a gig he had somewhere in San Diego. It sounded fun, but I was out of town and unable to make it.

Through social media, I was starting to get more familiar with Ukulele Ray. He liked every one of my posts and his photos showed up on my Instagram feed every day.

Around December 2017, he again invited me to come and jam with him at his studio. Again, it was something that interested me, but it just didn't work out.

In January...

Being a ukulele learner you should never stop exploring and should keep asking questions to yourself and your mentors. A few days back, one of my students came up with a great question- What is a 6th?

Well! I hope you have watched all the videos and till now you have also started wondering different things about the ukulele. When the question was asked I instantly thought to make a tutorial explaining it.

Actually, a 6th stands for the interval between 2 notes. But what is an interval? Sounds like a question too! Just watch the complete tutorial and you will find answers to all such questions.

In the tutorial, I have elaborated each and every element by taking a suitable example. Also, it is my advice to all the viewers to only follow the fingers that I am using in the lesson.

Watch the full tutorial and start wondering what your next question is?

The Mindset of Success

Beings successful means different things to different people. Some people find success in spending time with their family, some people find success in making a lot of money while others find success if they are playing music or doing the things they love.

Defining what is success will be a topic we dive into later but right now I want to talk about the mindset of success.

I believe this is so important since many of us are still working at life and trying to determine when can you say “I’m Successful.”

I want to tell you that weather you have reached your highest pinnacle or not you can have the mindset of success.

Let me tell you what I mean and give you some examples of it from my own life.

First of all whatever it is you are trying to achieve in life, weather it’s get that perfect body, get that perfect job or change the world, there is already a blueprint out there on how to do it.

There is already someone out there who has done...
