Title: Excellent primer for beginners
Product review: This DVD is an excellent primer for beginners on strumming styles and "tricks" and techniques. The title is misleading though; really how can anything be complete in an hour?Ralph Shaw is a great teacher, although I vacillate between finding him charming and finding him a tad "nerdy." I really didn't start playing the ukulele to learn how to play "Froggy Went A Courtin'" or "Hello My Baby," but to each his own. He explains things very clearly and then demonstrates how it actually sounds. He is a very accomplished player.I had been playing the uke for about 2 months before getting this DVD, and it has made playing the uke about 10 times more fun. Using Shaw's techniques can turn your plunking and plinking into real, joyful sounding music.I recommend this for anyone beginning to learn the ukulele.
