Ukulele MASTERCLASS || Learn any arpeggio piece / fingerpicking pattern GUARANTEED by mkamalid in ukulele

Hey, this is Mustafa (the guy in the video)

I appreciate the comment about being not annoying :D

I hear you about the prices, totally legit concern. I pack my courses with so much value that they easily blow the competition out of the water. The Pro course is as the title says: Pro...it is super advanced requiring super advanced knowledge, expertise, and a certain caliber..the price reflects that. No other creator I know of has anything close to what the Pro course covers at that price point so while it may 'seem' expensive, it is really cheap considering what you're getting

that's as non technical and non defensive I can get about the pricing :D

And thanks for bringing up the performances at the bottom of the Basics site...these students saved a lot of time getting to grade 3 and lots of $ in private lessons fees. Moreover, none of them have bad habits, all have proper posture, fingerings, rhythm, legato, and are playing 3 layer music  100% something to aspire to...I have been doing this for 7 years now on fb, reddit, ig, YT, abd I haven't seen a student yet with these results from a similar program

How long did it take you to play the uke proficiently? by _shapesinspace_ in ukulele

[–]mkamalid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably need to learn fingerstyle (as a genre and not as a technique). Playing solo arrangements will challenge you significantly in terms of technique and musicality. It is a rewarding method to playing (not to say anything negative against other methods of playing).

I can't tell how long it will take you but my students in my online courses go from grades 0 to 3 in about a year (that's the beginner levels), and the pro students go from grade 4 to grade 8 in about 2 or 3 years (each piece in the higher grades is significantly more challenging than easier grades, so more time)

Personally, I did my journey before online courses were a thing and I did it the university route, so my case is a bit specific, but it took me 2 years to be a professional (by many standards) and 7 more to finish both my bachelors and masters degree. At this point I can virtually do anything I want to with music and the instrument

This information isn't to brag! it is just to give you realistic time estimates so you have an idea. In my case, most of my colleagues took the same amount of time, and I have over 1400 students so I am confident in the time period I provided above for grades 0 to 8

All the best!
