Tom:

Here’s another uke ed source for you.

I put out, about every three weeks, an EZine called UKE-TIPS. I cover a lot of the basics of chord progressions, and other short-cuts to learning the ukulele in a way which helps the learner to avoid some common pitfalls.

I have some background for this, as I have retired from the college music teaching field, with specialties in theory, jazz, and arranging and conducting. I also play frequently with the great Bill Tapia, who has just turned 100 years old.

If you’re interested, send a request to .

Thanks for doing all of your research and making it available to all.

Gerry

Wow! Thanks for the great review! It’s early days yet and I’m still in discussion with big ole music publisher(s) about copyright and being creative with payment for copyright. It’s complicated, but LastFM seem to have solved it so here goes.

And I know it’s a tease, but there are much more impressive features in the pipeline to do with learning and sharing the experience/fun of learning.

If you let me know what the bugs are, I’ll fix them up

Great find! I’ve been neglecting my Uke pursuits as of late, but am planning on giving it more focus soon. This gives me a nice starting point.
