I hope you're doing OK during these troubled times and have been able to use any extra time you may have had making music!

A lot of you did the right thing and downloaded some of my ebooks and I thank you very much for your support.

I'm writing to tell you about a new venture that I've just started with Dave Ellis from the brilliant site ukulelego.com.

Dave is really good at teaching tips and tricks to ukulele players of all levels and has got some great resources up on his website.

We've decided to get together to make a monthly video in which we talk about a song we've learned and how to make it sound more interesting than just strumming the same chords over and over. We'll be looking at fingerstyle techniques, chord melodies and spicing up strumming patterns.

I'll also be teaching some of my campanella or fingerstyle arrangements of the music I do best: Celtic, folk, classical, early music and maybe some Americana (folk, country, bluegrass).

There'll also be tabs to download with every video we create.

These resources will really be unique and will provide something for players of all levels. What there won't be is irritatingly long videos that do nothing but show you how to play chords and one strumming pattern.

The exclusive content we provide will be available to subscribers on our Patreon page. You could think of it as a subscription to a magazine or a podcast, but much more interactive – you will be able to suggest content for future editions and ask us for help with your playing.

Please consider supporting our work, it would be very much appreciated. And if you are not able to at this time, don't forget to have a look at the free and paid ebooks on my gumroad page if you haven't already downloaded everything!

I teach how to play Tourdion, a renaissance dance tune written for lute, arranged campanella style, for solo ukulele or as a duet.

Can't Help Falling in Love – this Elvis classic is all over the Internet after 21 Pilots did a cover of it. Beginners love it because of its simple structure – we show you how to spruce it up a bit with a chord melody and fingerstyle arrangement.

Thanks again for the all the support you've given me over the years, I looking forward to providing even more quality arrangements for you to enjoy!

Take care and stay safe,

Jonathan
