Hello, it's me, The Ukulele Teacher! Here with a very special unboxing video for you.

Today, I'm going to be unboxing the brand new KLOS Travel Ukulele

Which I'm really excited about, because I've heard for a number of reasons it's a very, very cool uke.

So I'm excited to try it out for myself.

So, grab your box cutters! (PING!)

Make sure they're in tune - It sounds pretty good to me!

And let's check out this brand new ukulele!

Sweet! They even threw in a free t-shirt for me, which is very cool indeed!

Because anyone who knows me knows that I love a free t-shirt!

But let's check out the package itself.

Wow, this feels amazing!

Wow, ok, so this is a KLOS travel ukulele.

Firstly, let me explain what a travel ukulele is.

Basically, as it sounds, it's a ukulele that you can take with you on your travels.

i.e. if you go camping, or on vacation, or to the beach, or whatever.

Now you might be wondering "Why do I need a travel ukulele? Why can't I just take my regular uke?"

Well, as you probably know if you have any nice ukes at all

They can be very fragile instruments. They're only small, they're made of very lightweight wood,

They can easily be dropped, scratched, scuffed, broken...

And I can tell you from firsthand experience that it's never ever fun to break one of your ukuleles.

So I always recommend if it's a nice uke, please try and leave it at home.

This, however is a ukulele that was designed to be taken on the road

And instead of being made of things like rosewood or maplewood

This is made from carbon fiber

Which means (BANGS ON THE UKULELE) it's pretty heavy-duty!

Now believe me, I honestly don't take any pleasure from punching a ukulele

But believe it or not, this one is actually built to withstand a lot more punishment than that!

And in fact, when they built this ukulele, they even took it out to the desert and tested it with a hammer...

... by dropping a cinderblock on it...

...and even by running a car over it!

Now I'm not going to be doing any of those things with this one because, well,

Frankly I don't want to smash up my ukulele!

But it's very, very cool to hear that they've designed a uke that can put up with an incredible amount of punishment.

Now my understanding - and believe me I'm not a science guy at all -

Is that carbon fiber is basically a very, very strong material

And it's very resistant to heat and humidity changes, so it should be fine in the desert

Or if you went to, I don't know, a glacier or something, somewhere very very cold

In fact, believe it or not, carbon fiber is actually used in the aerospace industry

And apparently can withstand flight.

Not to mention being used in things like high-end sports equipment, for example for hockey, golf, cycling...

... Motor racing...

So believe me, this is some tough, tough material

So we know that this uke can withstand some serious punishment and some extreme weather conditions

But what we really want to know is how does it sound

So let's tune it up and take it for a spin.

SOUND OF UKULELE BEING TUNED

SOUND OF UKULELE BEING STRUMMED

Wow that is incredible! I actually wasn't expecting it sound so loud or so good

But this is a very fine uke indeed.

Firstly, it's not just the body that's been precision-engineered

But actually the action of the ukulele has been very carefully looked at as well

So the strings are nice and low to the fretboard, which means it's very easy to play some cool chords

And even barre chords are no challenge at all because the strings are just a very short distance away from the uke itself

SOUND OF UKULELE BEING STRUMMED

Even though it's not made of a traditional wooden material it actually sounds very good as well

SOUND OF UKULELE BEING STRUMMED

So even though this is kind of a cool, crazy, weird science project of a ukulele

It's actually designed by musicians who know exactly what they're doing

And you can see the body of the uke is designed to give it a lot of great reverb, and it sounds absolutely awesome

So this uke's got a great action, it feels really nice, and every single fret has been polished down so it's very smooth to play as well

So the uke feels smooth, it can withstand incredible punishment...

The strings are nice, the fretboard is nice and smooth, the action is fantastic...

Honestly, even though it's designed as a travel ukulele, I would say that this is a good ukulele anyway.

If you look at these tuning pegs here, these are very nicely designed as well

They've got a patented technology which means they're not going to slip out of place

And they should stay tuned a lot longer than most ukuleles would otherwise

And it even has a few other cool features as well

Not least of which is that you can actually plug it into an amp as well

Which is great if you're recording, or if you want to play live...

PLAYS SUPER MARIO BROS. THEME ON THE UKULELE

That's one of the tunes that I always bust out when I'm testing a new ukulele - the Super Mario Bros. Theme.

Just to put it through it's paces

Because it's got a little bit of strumming and a little bit of finger picking

But don't take my word for it - take the word of Jake Shimabukuro who recently took one of these for a test drive backstage at one of his recent shows

Jake absolutely loved this ukulele, and he made it sing even more than I can.

JAKE PLAYS ELEANOR RIGBY ON THE UKE

Not only can you plug it in, but it's also got a built-in tuner

And also it's got the little dots in the perfect position if you want to add a strap to your ukulele

Which I know some of you guys do.

Again, these dots have been carefully engineered and are in the perfect place if you want to add a strap to the uke

Although personally I find it so lightweight that I'm not sure I really need one.

Currently they're taking pre-orders for this ukulele via an IndieGoGo campaign

And I'll put the link for that in the description of this video

If you want to find out more about KLOS music or KLOS guitars or travel ukuleles in general...

Particularly ones made of carbon fiber (BANGS ON THE UKULELE)

Then check out www.KLOSguitars.com

At the moment, I'm only borrowing this ukulele, which is one of the reasons why I didn't try the hammer test on it for myself

But I'm hoping that when the ukulele comes out in a couple of months time, I'll be getting one for myself

And hopefully one to give away to you guys as well!

So stay tuned to this channel for more information about the KLOS travel ukulele

I'll be back again soon with some more great lessons and videos for you

In the meantime, give this video a thumbs up if you want to see more lessons like this one, with the KLOS travel ukulele

Until next time, I love you all and I wish you DA BEST!

Revealed! Obama Busted For Obstruction Most - Duration: 15:12.

Revealed!

Obama Busted For Obstruction?

Most Recent Congressional Investigation Report Uncovers All, You'll Be Shocked

In his energy to trash weapons in America, previous President Obama permitted guns made

and sold in the US to unlawfully fall under the control of Mexican drug cartels in what

has turned out to be known as "Operation Fast and Furious."

"Fast and Furious" was intended to catch and capture those cartel individuals.

Shockingly, the most exceedingly awful conceivable situation happened.

The operation reverse releases when a Border Patrol operator named Brian Terry was killed

by a cartel part with one of those weapons.

The resulting conceal and muddling by Obama and his operators are presently causing issues

down the road for the previous president, as another congressional investigation report

is investigating a conceivable charge of "obstruction of Congress."

Via Conservative Tribune:

Former President Barack Obama may not be in office anymore, but one of his scandals has

not yet been laid back, as evidenced by a recent report from Congress.

In a report titled "The Frustration of the Congress by the Department of Justice,"

the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee found fault with the Obama

administration's handling of the scandal that helped arm Mexican drug cartels.

In particular, the report blasted Obama and his Justice Department for "obstruction

of the Congress" and was less than coming with the media and victims' families about

what really happened.

When Border Terror agent Brian Terry was killed in a "Fast and Furious" gun during a 2010

firefight with Mexican gang members and the scandal blew up in the Obama administration's

face, the Justice Department was "focused more on spin and obfuscation than getting

the facts Right, "the report noted.

Even when Terry's family sought answers from Obama's top law enforcement agency,

the congressional report found that the DOJ viewed them as nothing more than "public

relations displeasure."

The report was unforgiving in its findings that the Justice Department gave false information

to Congress in order to cover up the truth of the sour operation.

What's most concerned, however, was that the misrepresentations to the Congress came

from the very top.

Then-Attorney General Eric Holder, who was found in contempt of Congress in a 2012 vote

in the House, has denied "thousands of key documents," and he even asked Obama to execute

his "executive privilege" over "all documents related to Justice Department's

responses to Congressional questions about Fast and Furious.

"

Of course, Obama sided with his liberal buddy and "dishonestly" allowed the administration's

refusal to comply with lawful congressional subpoenas in order to "obstruct the investigation."

"In the course of that investigation, nearly six years ago, the Justice Department wrote

to the Congress and falsely denied that law enforcement officers allowed straw purchasers

to illegally purchase firearms in the United States and traffic them without being apprehended,"

the report explained.

"Since that false denial, the Committees have investigated why the Department of Justice

misled Congress and failed to correct its misrepresentation in a timely manner."

Fortunately, whistleblowers came forward with their knowledge of "Fast and Furious,"

allowing Congress to piece together a more accurate picture than the fragmented version

they received from Obama's cronies.

Thank goodness for whistleblowers!

If they were not for them, who knows what evils could be perpetrated by self-serving

politicians.

Thank heavens for informants!

If not for them, who realizes what shades of malice could be executed independently

from anyone else serving lawmakers.

It is certainly route past time for Barack Obama's violations to be uncovered for all

the world to see.

He was and still is, evidently, not disinclined to utilizing even the most criminal intends

to accomplish his targets.

It will be intriguing to perceive what Congress' ultimate conclusion on the issue ends up being

and if Obama will be serving any prison time.

How about we simply say we trust that justice will be served, as we lost an American life

over this stupid operation.

What do you think about this?

Do not hesitate and write your thoughts in the comment section below.

Thank you for reading.

WATCH This Freaky Deepfake Video Of Obama Trashing Trump - Duration: 18:24.

WATCH This Freaky Deepfake Video Of Obama Trashing Trump

Barack Obama has finally ditched the slick politicking and come right out and said what

he really thinks about Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and who the real hero of "Black Panther"

is — and it's exactly what you thought he'd say.

Except that it's a "deepfake" by comedian Jordan Peele who wants you to know that we

live in dangerous times, where sinister, tech-savvy figures can create fake news with a few apps

and a couple of days of processing.

Here's the freaky and kind of funny deepfake video by Peele, in which Obama calls Trump

a "total and complete dipsh**," smacks Carson, and announces that "Killmonger was

right" about the need for black people to rise up and slay their oppressors, or something

(warning: language):

The video was published by BuzzFeed, which provides some more information on the new,

increasingly easy face- and voice-swapping technology that will further erode people's

trust in what they see online:

Technology to trick our eyes and ears is advancing rapidly.

Teams in Germany are working on Face2Face, the type of face- and voice-swapping technology

used to create the video above.

Software giant Adobe is creating a "Photoshop for audio" that makes it easy to edit and

manipulate what someone has said, as is a Montreal startup called Lyrebird.

After you've selectively edited someone's words, you could take that audio and use tech

developed at the University of Washington to generate a video of the very same person

speaking those words, just to make it fully convincing.

Peele used FakeApp, a free tool that people have used to retroactively make Nic Cage the

star of "Indiana Jones" and make celebrities the stars of porn videos.

BuzzFeed describes the process:

Part of the process for creating this video involved taking an original video of Barack

Obama and pasting Jordan Peele's mouth into it.

It looked really bad and clumsy at first.

But things got remarkably better the longer FakeApp was left to process a more believable

amalgamation of Obama's head and Peele's mouth.

That took roughly 56 hours and was overseen by a video effects professional.

So will deepfakes result in the "infocalypse" BuzzFeed and Peele are sounding the alarm

about?

Will the Russians fool large swaths of stupid Americans with fake videos of our political

leaders saying outrageous stuff to direct our politics?

Or, worse yet, will Nic Cage eventually star in every formerly good film ever made?

Stay tuned and stay skeptical.

What Trey Gowdy Just Got a Special Agent to Do Is BREATHTAKING … OBAMA IS SCREWED - Duration: 15:12.

What Trey Gowdy Just Got a Special Agent to Do Is BREATHTAKING … OBAMA IS SCREWED

Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Representative, has been working on calling out Former President

Barack Obama for the deceitful criminal that he has proved himself to be.

Over the eight years that Obama was in office he violated the Constitution and engaged in

all kinds of illegal activity, that any average citizen would be publicly ridiculed and horribly

punished for.

Obama somehow always seemed to find an out for himself.

This time, however, Gowdy is ready to do whatever it takes to hold Obama responsible for his

wrong-doings.

Last week, Gowdy got one step closer to blowing Obama's lid.

He got an ATF specialist to acknowledge three secrets that Obama has been keeping from American

citizens.

This could be a huge break for all of us wanting to expose Obama for the felon he is.

Mad World News has publicized the fact that Gowdy was dealing with previous ATF Special

Agent John Dodson.

At the time, he was accompanied by the mother of a murdered Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry.

The information Gowdy was receiving imformation having to do with Obama's secret operation

"Fast and Furious."

This operation witnessed the ATF purposely provide guns to cartels.

The guns were "tracked."

This illegal operation took Terry's life, and Terry wanted everyone accountable, including

Dodson, to be held responsible.

The video below shows Gowdy putting Dodson in a corner, which persuades him to give up

information about Former President Obama that educated Americans have known for a long time.

We couldn't make this crap up if we tried.

The Obama administration literally provided criminals with weapons and money.

There is something seriously wrong with the fact that Obama isn't in jail right now.

Let's hope that Gowdy's efforts to expose Obama for the crimes he has committed do not

go unnoticed.

PureButtons Templates Explained - Duration: 3:14.

Hi everybody, Evan from PureButtons.com here with a brief overview of our templates in

Photoshop and Illustrator.

To get PureButtons templates, you need to go to the Templates page in the top navigation.

From here, you'll select your product and the size.

All products that share a size have the same template.

Today I'll download the 1.75" Round Button Template.

When that is complete, you open up the ZIP file, and there is a folder with an Illustrator

file, a Photoshop file, and a JPEG for other image editors.

Let's start with the Illustrator file.

In Illustrator, you'll want to look at the Layers panel.

And we have a Directions & Help layer, a Template layer, a blank Your Artwork Here layer, a

hidden Editable Rim Text layer, and a hidden Proof layer.

To start with, we'll go to the Directions & Help layer.

This is the layer with all the text and color on it.

The next is the Template layer.

This is the layer with the rings to show how big to make your artwork.

In the top corner we have a reminder to use the rich black values of 60/40/40/100.

The first area we need to look at is the safety zone.

This gray dashed line represents the area that's safe to keep your readable text and

logos within.

If your logo or text extends beyond this area, it may wrap around the sides of your button

so be careful.

The second area is this area called the Rim Text Area.

This note says that you can put Rim Text in this area and it will print on the rim of

your product.

This area is often used for contact info.

There are examples on our samples page on the website.

(purebuttons.com) This editable rim text layer provides rim text that you can edit already

on a round path.

Simply choose the text tool and "Select All" and write your own.

You can choose to repeat the same text over and over for added coverage.

The last area of the template is called the Bleed Area.

All of your artwork must extend into this area, but it will not be visible.

This is to ensure a professional finish on your product.

Finally, we have a proof layer.

This will mask off everything but the very front of your button design.

As your complete your button design, turn on the proof layer to see what your finished

design will look like.

But make sure to turn off the Proof Layer so that you can ensure your artwork extends

to the Bleed Area.

Let's look at the Photoshop version.

When you open the Photoshop version, you'll see that it's very similar to the Illustrator

version.

In the Layers panel, we have a Background, Directions & Help, a Template, a blank Your

Artwork Here Layer, an Editable Rim Text Sample, and a Proof Layer.

We accept layered Photoshop files, Illustrator files, or most other image file formats.

Make sure to keep your images high resolution for best print quality.

We also offer a free Customizer tool, where you can skip the template altogether, and

design right in your browser.

Thanks for watching!
