Ukulele hangout

Hi Matt. Please forgive me if I’ve posted this in the wrong place. After working through the beginners and intermediate courses, I recently began your “escape the plateau” course. I admit that lesson 1 did me in. I just can’t get these old fingers to make all those chord shapes that make up “Autumn Leaves”. I have not tried lesson 2 onwards. I have a silver membership. I know “some theory, some finger style techniques, but no Beatles stuff. What do you recommend and what do I need to do to upgrade so that all your courses would be available to me. I think you know I especially like chord melody challenges as I sing like an animal in pain…it ain’t pretty. Would you recommend I keep exploring the “Escape the Plateau” course or give up on that and try something new…and if so what would the cost be? Thanks…your challenged friend. Ted

Hello, apologies first of all, I wasn't sure where the best place was to stick this. Anyway.. I've finished the beginners course and feel like I'm making progress but also feel like I'd benefit from a few 1 to 1 lessons. I live in Nottingham but there really doesn't seem to be much in the way of face to face ukulele teachers here (and the nearest ukegroup is a fair distance for a none driver). So looks like zoom lessons would be the way to go but I'm a little hesitant about it so wondered if anyone here could recommend a teacher? There are of course quite a few onlinebut a solid recommendation for a good one (with space for teaching hopefully) would be most welcome! They don't have be uk based, though that be better in terms of time of day etc.

Hi Matt, hi all…. Advice / suggestions needed. I am wanting to buy a mechanical metronome to use during practice, no idea where to start re brands / price etc. can you advise. Thanks
