Welcome to the October edition of Ukulelia! Your regular round up of the best ukulele paraphernalia from across the world and the web. This month, find your Hawaiian ukulele guru, meet ukulele aficionados from all over the world, discover some excellent ukulele apps and shake, shake, shake, shake it off with some poptastic Taylor Swift uke chords! Ukulele Underground: Where Dance Mat Meets Ukulele Do you remember those dance mats which were popular with kids around a decade ago? You'd plug them into your TV and then stomp in a vague approximation of “dancing” as brightly coloured arrows told you where to put your feet? Ukulele Underground's inestimably great tutorial videos are a little bit like that – only much, much more helpful. In the video below, host Aldrine will walk you through Edith Piaf's La Vie En Rose, teaching you every component in impressive detail; from finger picking to strumming patterns. There are all sorts of free courses you can take online, along with loads of fantastic free video tutorials. Well worth a peruse!
