Playing up the dusty end!

Do you ever find yourself playing the same old chords in the same first frets? Ever see other people playing right up the fretboard and want to do it yourself? In this exciting course I show you systematically and simply how to start playing chords and melody right up the fretboard. By the end of the course you'll understand how it all works and you will be a much better uke player for it. This is an older course filmed during covid so it's just me and a whiteboard but I'm really proud of how much it has helped heaps of ukulele players all around the globe.
