Now I focus only on his educational material. The most well-paced and most detailed lessons I have seen since I started learning the ukulele. Thank you Matt!’ ‘It was a lucky day that I happened upon Matt Stead online!! I was able to strum chords on my uke but wanted to advance from there. Matt’s lessons and playalongs are brilliant! They are fun and he has such an easy, personable style. Plus, I learn so much each time. This has been the best thing to happen to my ukulele playing!!’   ‘It's amazing how Matt can simplify complex techniques into achievable steps. I also love how he makes music theory understandable at the moments that it applies. No boring theory in his lessons. Matt's choices of songs is soooo cool too.’
