Nothing Else Matters on Ukulele – Tutorial

1. Hi Jeff,

   I really enjoy your sensitve approach to playing music. I am eighty six years old and have bee practicing ukulele for about six years, coming from a classical violin background (I have no time to waste). I warm up with arpeggios and, from memory, my favorite meditative tune, EKu’u Morning Dew. I am practicing from Kioshi Kobashi’s fingerstyle jazz book, trying hard to memorize his music.

   It would be nice, from my perspective, if someone educated in music theory would take a beautiful melody and describe, perhaps measure by measure, (in detail), how to take a melody line and make it into a n arpeggiated , fingerstyle chord melody song. Because of my age I am trying to minimize learning curves but they still keep popping up on their own or because I’m not a strong person. Our daughter’s car recently failed so we gifted our car to her and, with that excuse, I bought a 2015 Nissan Leaf all electric vehicle (talk about a learning curve). My wife has been making faces at me, but since she drives a 1998 Subaru with under 100,000 milesand wants nothing at all to do with learning curves I just shut my eyes.

   I thoroughly enjoy listening to you play your tutorials but, primarily because of limited hearing and eyesight but also because of how I learn, I can only watch and listen to your lovely playing and that is sufficient for my pleasure.

   Thanks for sharing,

   Don West
