Description

Hello and welcome the this beginner ukulele course!

This course is perfect for the beginner ukulele player that is looking to start playing fun songs and wants to have fun playing!

First I walk you step-by-step through basic info you will need to understand. Then we move on and I show you what tuner is best and how to get into tune. I also teach you how to remember the tuning using a FUN little riddle :-)

After that it´s time to get the first chords under your fingers! I start out with some really easy chords, so you will be making music and having fun within just minutes!!!

After that I walk you through some cool and very useful strumming patterns, so you will be ready to play songs in no time!

NOW, YOU`RE READY for your first songs!!!

I walk you step-by-step though your first 3 songs. All the songs have "in video" chord charts and chord pictures, so you will have ZERO trouble following along. :-)

After we learn the song together, I do a play-along. This way it´s really easy for you to follow along and get a great feeling for the song!

This is a FUN and interactive course and I´m sure you will love it!!!

All the song lessons come with downloadable PDF files, so it´s really easy for you to practice away from the computer, when you take your show on the road.

The course also comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, so there is no risk for you!

Alllllllllllllriiiiiiighty!!! So much fun! Relaxing! Look out Jake Shimabukuru, here I come! Henry does a great job in covering the fundamentals of strumming, along with a few variations, while weaving in a small handful of chords. I'm feeling much more comfortable with my uke, and hope to find more of Henry's courses, either for ukulele or for guitar. Alllllllllllllriiiiiiighty!!!

Henry provides one-on-one private guitar classes in Austria and offers online guitar courses – both free and paid – to students who sign up on his website. He also has a constantly expanding YouTube Channel with over 17000 subscribers.

Henry is teacher proud of sharing his expertise, knowledge and he has thousands of teaching hours to his credit. He has trained 100.000+ students to date and has consistently gotten 5-star reviews for his work. He currently teaches 14 guitar courses (all available on Udemy)
Henry was born and raised in San Francisco where he lived his early childhood years. He later moved to Croatia where he spent his teenage years. Henry currently lives in Austria with his family of three; a beautiful wife and two adorable sons.

Henry is a guitarist passionate about his craft but there is something more important to him – impacting his students’ lives and helping them build their passions and their dreams. In his words, he describes his joy “Teaching guitar is more than sharing experience for me. I feel like I'm really refining my skills as a teacher, but more than that, there is no greater joy then seeing my students’ faces light up after playing something that they thought was never possible for them”.
In his downtime, when he is not providing guitar lessons or improving and honing his craft, Henry likes to indulge in his other passions; spending time with his family, hiking and mountain biking.
