ISSUE 25

Issue 25 of UKE Magazine marks 6 years of publication of this specialist, independent magazine for ukulele players. In another packed issue, we talk to Brittni Paiva, the Hawaiian uke artist, and Jan Laurenz, the Swiss multi-instrumentalist, to discover their stories as well as pickup up tips on how to improve our own ukulele playing.

The focus on learning continues with instructions on popular turnarounds from Phil Doleman, the theory surrounding time signatures with Mike Haysom, an arrangement to try at home from Tobias Elof and a look at some interesting picking patterns to have a go at.

There’s plenty of gear too, with reviews of the latest models as well as a whole host of features from around the ukulele world, from the story of the founding fathers of the ukulele to top tips to improve your skills sent in by readers. All of this is a beautifully designed and printed, 60-page package.
