  • Learning a lot about ukuleles

    I love these guys. They’re funny and know a lot about the ukulele. These podcasts are nice because they answer a lot of questions about playing but also about music in general and they sometimes talk about completely random stuff. I really enjoy listening to them and always come away with some laughs and some techniques to work on.
