 Rating:  - Lacks contentI am surprised at all the positive comments for this DVD. It is so incomplete. I don't plan to reference this "complete" dvd after the first viewing. I did like the song, "hello my baby." If you are a beginner UKE player, then I would recommend Mr. Shaw's DVD for Kids. I was more complete than this dvd, it had several chords and a book of songs. Good book and dvd for a total beginner. Rating: - Worth $10, not $30I bought this based on the many rave reviews, but was disappointed. I've been playing the ukulele for about 2 months, and was looking for something to really accelerate my progress. In particular, I was hoping for good instruction on right-hand technique. I really enjoyed learning the split strum.

Rating:  - Great Instructional DVDI have been enjoying this instructional DVD for a few weeks now. Ralph Shaw is a great teacher and he apparently really enjoys playing and teaching the ukulele.

Rating: - Not much contentJudging from prior reviews, some people really like this disk, so I'll try to explain the low score I have given it. By no stretch of the imagination is this a complete course. It is an introductory course for people who have never played a stringed instrument. In fact, with just three songs you can hardly call it a course. My main interest is Hawaiian music and so this DVD was not a good choice on my part since I should have known from the description that Mr. Shaw is more into 1920's style uke. Mr. Shaw is so darn pleasant that I hate to say anything negative so I will just try to be objective and tell you what you get on the disk. There's a very brief introduction about the uke followed by instructions on how to hold and tune it. He shows ... Read More: |
