Aside from the ever-popular George Formby songs, ukulele is increasingly used in modern folk and pop/rock music, sometimes in novel ways, and with the worldwide success of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain it has brought the ukulele back into the mainstream music scene.
The ukulele is a great starting instrument for beginners but seasoned practitioners learn to play highly complex rhythm and strum patterns. This little instrument can become a lifelong learning experience.
Ukulele lessons from an experienced teacher make sure you get the basics right, providing a solid platform for advancement to the more complex styles of play.
Just been messing with my camera and thought I'd try to film myself playing my banjo/uke. Sorry about the quality but the sound is recorded with the built in mike.
