The Tutor"who's teaching the course"

Stretton Payne

"As a seasoned guitarist and instrument maker I love all things with strings on them. For me the ukulele is special because its small and compact, easy to carry around, relatively cheap and if you know a little guitar you can transfer the skills you already have straight over to the ukulele. I wanted to produce this ukulele course to demonstrate these tricks and run through some ukulele basics."
