I just received this and will begin to work through it slowly, as I am new to the Ukulele.
I am familiar with Fred's DVDs and love his "Bawdy Songs" for the guitar and his style of teaching, though not in-depth, is clear and this DVD continues with section by section teaching, and nice close ups of his fingering, as well as some great songs including, "Fishin' Blues", which I learned from Happy Traum DVD in the key of D for guitar, and Fred teaches it in G for the ukulele! This makes for a nice transition.
I am also using his introduction DVD for the ukulele, which is all strumming. I am more interested in some finger style work on the Uke, as I learned in many of the DVD guitar lessons (My favorites besides Fred's and Happy's, are the "Blues" series from Stefan Grossman.)
Blues in the uke is really interesting and I hope to learn his Red Rooster with the glass slide!
The sound is fun. I love the DVD.
