Meet Jack. He wanted to surprise someone special by learning to play an epic fantasy song on the ukulele. "Where can I find my first ukulele lessons?" he wondered. A quick online search led him to this perfect solution.

You, too, can be like Jack/Jacky. Imagine the delight of your friends and family when they hear you play a song on the ukulele, an instrument they never knew you could play. Learning a few songs on the ukulele is easier than you think.

The ukulele is part of the lute family of instruments, traditionally used by bards to tell stories. Inspired by the druidic tradition, these storytellers kept their cultures alive through music. Authors like Tolkien included bards in their tales, making epic fantasy songs a perfect choice for the ukulele.

Of course, you can play any song on the ukulele. For beginners, starting with simple tunes and gradually advancing to more complex songs is the best approach.

Hi there! Welcome to this tutorial where I teach you how to play an Advanced Blues Turnaround in A. This is usually played by pro ukulele players. The last two bars of a twelve bar blues is a turnaround. We are in the key of A and as we know there are only 3 chords, the A chord(I), the D7 chord(IV) and the E7 chord(V). The A and E7 chords are the ones used in turnaround. These are bars 11 and 12. First I will explain how to play the turnaround and after that I will play the 12 bar Blues. This will explain how the turnaround becomes a part of the entire Blues structure. Want to know about more turnarounds? You can check out Blues greats likes B.B King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and Robert Johnson.

I was watching a YouTube video that was sent to me by one of my students, Brian, who is a Sales Supervisor at Mercedes.

It's funny because somehow my personal email ended up on Brian's group email that he sends to his team everyday. This was the 4th day in a row that I had gotten an email from him and I was actually going to ask him to take me off the list.

But, I figured that I must have been send this email for a reason so I decided to click on the link and watch the video.

Part of the video was a commencement speech by Dr. Rick Rigsby. I had never heard of Dr. Rigsby before but his message was so powerful I had to watch it several times.

He gave many great words of wisdom to live by but there is one that really hit me hard, "The way you do anything, is the way that you do everything." 

Whenever I hear these kind of quotes that really speak to me, I get goosebumps and it prompts me to take a second and write it down in my iPhone notes "journal".

I instantly began to...
