Hey guys, here's a new song by my band Tree People entitled 'Emily'. Please like and share if you enjoy! And stay tuned for more original music!

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I posted on these forums so I figured I'd share a new cover. This song has been very popular recently so I decided to give it a try. Took a while to figure out how to keep the raggae strum going while still picking the melody, but the gist of the song is...

Hey guys, been a while since I posted here, but figured you guys might enjoy. I had the great honor of soloing with the UH concert band at this year's Aloha Concert. It was a truly memorable experience. We played Jake Shimabukuro's tune 'Dragon'. Those of you who are familiar with this tune...

Hey guys, been a long time since I've posted anything. Haven't been playing a lot of Ukulele lately due to school. I'm in my first semester at the University of Hawaii studying music education, and my main musical focus for the last half a year has been my major instrument, the tuba. I was...

hey guys, been a while since I did a video. I had the great privilege of jamming with Aldrine yesterday at Kapiolani Park. All I can say is, damn, he's even better in person. His solo-ing is freaking un-real and very inspiring, so I decided I'd play a little improvised jam and see what happens...

Had the pleasure of jamming with Lance, Josh, and Kirk after the Go For Da Record event at the Blaisdell. We threw this one together quickly, so hope you guys enjoy! Lance is playing guitar and the rest of us are on the uke.

Re-do of Jakes Cover. I think this is a good progress video as I've done this one about a year ago and I think the improvement is evident. Basically just a carbon copy of Jake lol. None the less hope you guys enjoy!

Hey folks, I'm doing a research report on Koaloha Ukulele and I'm looking for some good online resources. I wanna know everything I can about the company, and figured I'd ask here first before I go directly to the shop for answers. Thanks!

Hey guys. I've been working on arranging this song for the past week, and this is what I came up with. I heard it on the radio at work and thought it would fit nicely with the uke. Also ,someone in my voice class sang it, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Because I'm not extremely familiar with...

Hey guys! Today I had the pleasure of jammin' with two other local musicians Joshua Tom (ukulele underground name: kamaka_4_life) and Lance Kawika Lopez Jr. (youtube name: ukeADDICTx). We had a great time talking story and playing music, so here's a few videos that we threw together. These songs...

Hey guys, I just thought I'd share a bit about how the ukulele changed the direction of my life. You see, I've had a passion for music ever since I first started playing the tuba in 7th grade. I loved music, and was a band geek all throughout intermediate and high school. I've always dreamed of...

hey guys, I recently decided to learn this one and it's quickly become one of my favorite songs to play. I therefore recorded it :) Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey guys, been working on this one for a few weeks and figured it's about at performance level. Definitely not perfect, but it's a pretty challenging song and I didn't wanna spend forever trying to get a great take. I made this video primarily to give all you ukers a good view of the fret...

Hey guys, really exciting news! I tried using a ping pong ball as a fake fingernail and it works really well! The tone/feel is extremely close to that of a real finger nail. I'm really stoked about this as it's much cheaper and easier than going to a nail salon to have an acrylic nail installed...
