This is great instruction! I was just in Hawaii and bought a ukulele. Your channel has really helped me and I am having a very enjoyable time learning. Thank you!
@@JJMilare Oahu. I was there for a conference. I’ll be back next year. And the conference will move to the Big Island. On the ukulele, I’ve learned about eight chords and spend most practice time just trying to smoothly move from one to another while strumming.
Mahalo for sticking around Thanh! I hope this tutorial was pretty easy to follow? I know it’s a lot of keys but I thought I wanted to be a little thorough enough.
Thank this is good. Never thought of making a little into before starting a song. I usually just do an extra at the end. I will try this. All the best JJ..👍🏽
Excellent tutorial, JJ. Nothing like Hawaiian music to put you in a happy frame of mind. I hope one day you have a ukulele school. You are a very good teacher. Much mahalo!! Alooooha.
@@JJMilare no. The ukulele is somewhat new to me. I played the git-fiddle most of my life playing rhythm in a few bands in high school. Can't wait for someone to invent the time machine. There are so many moments I would love to relive.
@@JJMilare mahalo! I do have a lot of very good memories that I would love to relive, and I would love to relive them also to get away from this chaotic world we live in. As much as we would love to live in the past sometimes, we have to live in the present with the future in mind. Aloha!
Still here!! :) I found your channel from searching for Jazz strum patterns and now I'm here hehe What are the songs you start to sing in the first few progressions? Hope you make some videos where you sing the whole songs, that would be so nice because you have a lovely voice! :)
Aw thank you for the compliment! I love singing but don't sing much anymore. The songs I started with are "E huli makou", "hawaiian hula eyes," "ulupalakua". Beautiful standard Hawaiian songs :)
still here!!! Howzit my bruddah still looking on you for more uk details finally got other chords down now we looking to see the vamp...any question will comment here!! eazy JJ👑
Yes! Some songs that I did here in this video are "E huli makou", "Hawaiian Hula Eyes", and "Ulupalakua" Those are some beautiful songs to start with! :) They should be on youtube, let me know if you can't find them!
Yay! I’m glad you were able to find those songs. Lmk if you have any questions with those! You can also find me on Instagram at jjmilare and direct message me there :)
ah yes, those are one of the more difficult ones. But, if you're playing by yourself, usually ukulele players don't have to play E. it's only if you play with a guitar player, you will see that more often. But what I can suggest is, master one of those chords at a time, even if it takes you days or weeks. Sometimes if you move your wrist around in different positions, you can play different chords easier.
Great examples, love the notation of strokes below and showing the chords up close and slow with tab
Yay thank you! I tried to make it as simple as I could :)
Such a calm instructor. Mahalo
Much much mahalo for those kind words!

@@4XLibelle 8 chords is a good amount so far! For me to be able to learn new chords, I need to learn a new songs so it sticks better for me :)

Yes! This is a common intro for hawaiian music we use it all the time. It’s very good to help the musician start on sync too! :)
You’re an awesome instructor
Much mahalo for those kind words!
Excellent tutorial, JJ. Nothing like Hawaiian music to put you in a happy frame of mind. I hope one day you have a ukulele school. You are a very good teacher. Much mahalo!! Alooooha.

@@kelalamusic9258 ah you got some good rhythm! And I hear you, there are so many memories that would be nice to relive! Those were the days huh?
@@JJMilare mahalo! I do have a lot of very good memories that I would love to relive, and I would love to relive them also to get away from this chaotic world we live in. As much as we would love to live in the past sometimes, we have to live in the present with the future in mind. Aloha!

Tell me some typical hawaiian songs especially hula songs!.....love from INDIA🇮🇳, kolkata✌

@@JJMilare ya, I found all the three songs you've suggested! Thanks a lot! Am learning from your channel!...😀

Yes I will try to upload some Hawaiian songs in the future. The “aloha oe” is the most recent one so far!
Still here
yes!!!! Which key do you use mostly?
Still here😊
I see you! :)
F7, B7 and E are pure torture. Can I not just pretend they don't exist? 🙂 If I ignore them... perhaps they just go away?
ah yes, those are one of the more difficult ones. But, if you're playing by yourself, usually ukulele players don't have to play E. it's only if you play with a guitar player, you will see that more often.
