Iâm excited to share with you a new video! This time, Iâm taking you back to the Roaring Twenties with a four-chord jazz jam. WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/eaRTC8XRCnU
The featured song is "Let's Throw a Party" by the Grammy-winning Okee Dokee Brothers. The tune is playful, easy and a GREAT tune for sharing in your ukulele clubs and jam sessions. (Watch the video to learn how easy it is to lead! Hint: echo singing)
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/eaRTC8XRCnU
This video is not just about playing the song; it's about immersing yourself in the jazz style and understanding the techniques that make it unique.
For UZ members, Iâve created bonus content that includes a deep dive into strumming technique and how to strum a rhythm chord solo using colorful jazz chords. It's a great opportunity to enhance your musical skills and broaden your understanding of the jazz genre
I hope you enjoy this new video and that it inspires you to explore new musical horizons with your ukulele.
Keep strumming and smiling,
Stu

In honor of what would have been Bob Marley's 80th birthday Iâve created a special ukulele video tutorial for you to enjoy. âRedemption Song" is a touching and iconic song that I believe you'll enjoy learning. Click here to enjoy the NEW tutorial, click https://youtu.be/-BYbtju1-ag
With just a handful of chords it is both beginner friendly and deep.Please tune up your ukulele (or guitar) and join in!
In the video, youâll be shown the chords, strums and also learn the simple yet powerful melodic intro that Bob played on acoustic guitar.
Iâll show you note for note how to play this introduction and also how to expand upon it to build a simple and beautiful chord melody.
The video tutorial has the chords & lyrics for âRedemption Songâ shown on screen so you can learn with ease and sing along as you play.
Â
The tutorial concludes with a full play along performance of the song to show you how it all comes together.
I believe this tutorial will not only help you learn a new song on your ukulele, but also deepen your appreciation for Bob Marley's music.
His message could range from beautiful love songs, uplifting spirituals, and a positive reggae dance party!
