    Dave you make it all look so easy, while making the ukulele sound good!

    New strings will take several days off constant re-tuning before they settle down but once they have settled they should stay pretty much in tune

    Wow, after picking up a Ukulele in Hawaii I never thought I get to the point of being able to play a actual famous song, after watching this vdieo(and a few good hours of practice of course) I actually can play it. Thanks for all the help! can't wait to watch the other videos and to learn more.

    Been trying to get the c,f,g to run smoothly and it has been frustrating me all afternoon but just ran the intro through (slowly mind) and made it all worth while! Thanks again!

  • @aedanabett

    That was just brilliant! I never thought I'd be able to handle the switch from D to G but a bit of practice and tolerance of numb finger tips and you've got it!

    Hi - thanks for commenting, glad you liked it. I only know 2 people in Canada that could possibly know my first name and only 1 of them is into farming so is that you Rob?

    Hi keith - the version that I based the lesson on is by 'The Beautiful South' and is played on accoustic guitars with a very laid back rhythm. There's loads of youtube videos of the song so have a listen and it should all fall into place ...
    Hope that helps

    I now have my uke and thanks to you i have learnt 3 chords and a little tune in about 5 minutes!
    Thanyou!

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can only give you general guidelines - ie make sure you get one with geared tuners and not friction pegs, generally you get what you pay for so i would advise getting the best that you can afford, also get good strings - I can definitely recommend Aquila nylgut. As to which make again I can only speak for Ukes that I have used which are Brunswick and Lanakai both of which I have found to be good, but some research on google is well worth it b4 committing

  • @287monty1

    Hi fumanchurisado - thanks for commenting. The strum pattern is mostly as follows, tho it may vary a bit here & there:- verse is C dududd F ddu G dd C dd F dd C dudu chorus is F ddu x3 then dd C ddudd F dud C d F ddu x3 then dd D ddudd F dud G d - hope that helps ... cheers for now!

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    assuming you are playing the chords correctly the only reason can be that the tuning is wrong - try rechecking the tuning using a clip on tuner and make sure the strings are tuned GCEA from bottom to top and remember that the C string is an octave lower so don't try to tune it too high... see lesson 1 if u haven't already watched it

    The web address is
    'shroprock.co.uk' and it should go direct to my shroprock website - if you are being redirected then something on your browser/computer is doing it...
    I'm glad to hear that you are persevering with the Uke lessons!

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    thanks thisroboticheart - I'm working on the next lesson, should be out soon ...

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know some players who play G as a 'barre' chord by barreing the top 3 strings with the 1st finger at the 2nd fret and 2nd finger on 2nd string 3rd fret - might be worth trying that ...

  • @robiesprouse4246
    @robiesprouse4246 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Chili. Thanks for these great vids. I bought a uke last year but didn't have time to really practice until now. Your lessons have kept me from chucking it out the window! But, I have wrist issues & playing the G chord is incredibly hard for me. I have tried altering it slightly by putting my middle finger across strings 1-3 on the 2nd fret & my ring finger across the 2nd string on the 3rd fret, but this finger sometimes touches the first string. Any other suggestions for playing G?

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Michelle, thanks for commenting - it was my way of trying to show that that strum was less definite, or 'lighter' than a normal strum. Hope that helps ...

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    very nice-- will have my uke in a few days-- and will try-- i am older and have stiff and short ,wide fingers- how can I get them to work better? are there any exercises? my Friend in NZ has gotten me interested in the uke and I am a novice completely !! Thanks , Joan

    • @287monty1
      @287monty1  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Joan, glad to hear you liked my video and I wish you luck with your learning - I too have stiffness in my fingers and although I don't know of any 'official' exercises I find that just practicing for 20 to 30 mins every day keeps my fingers working!

    Hey! Your Videos are awesome! I'm having a hard time counting or singing while strumming. Can you recommend any good exercises to overcome that?

    • @287monty1
      @287monty1  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Jana - to help with strumming and counting in time take a look at lesson 6 th-cam.com/video/4QNg6efeYqM/w-d-xo.html ;)

  • @smckenzie23

    Interested in getting the chord charts, but it seems the URL does not work. Is there a different page?

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The full version of lesson (2) has the strumming pattern displayed in time with the song but you need to turn on captions to see it:- verse is C dududd F ddu G dd C dd F dd C dudu chorus is F ddu x3 then dd C ddudd F dud C d F ddu x3 then dd D ddudd F dud G d - hope that helps ... cheers for now!

  • @kookykat1018
    @kookykat1018 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm confused.. The first time you play the verse, I believe the strum pattern for the first C is V/\V/\VV, but later when you play the verse at 1:34, I hear VV/\VV.

  • @287monty1
    @287monty1  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be honest I have no idea why this would happen, possibly because the C string is a lot thicker than the other strings? Sorry I can't be of more help on this one - anyone out there got any ideas?

  • @shixinn0911
    @shixinn0911 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    hi this may sound like a stupid qn but why is my c string vibrating more thn the others? like the sound echoes longer thn the others ._.

    @BasemanB 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello Dave. Not sure why, but I prefer to do G in different way: 1 finger on 1 string, second on third and then third on second string... it's less awkward when I do this chord in this way. Do you think it's still correct, or maybe better I should try do this in right way? Thank you

    • @287monty1
      @287monty1  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you find it easier then use it - you might like to try also this way - 1st finger flat across top 3 strings (AEC) at 2nd fret with tip of 2nd finger on E string 3rd fret (and G string open)

    • @BasemanB
      @BasemanB 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      bason234 Hi, The intro is actually 'I'm looking Over a Four Leafed Clover' I don't have a lesson for it but do have a video of me playing a version of it called 'I'm looking Over My dead Dog Rover' that you might find amusing to watch - here's a link to it th-cam.com/video/vQ4HdFNOOK0/w-d-xo.html

    • @287monty1
      @287monty1  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi - it means to use a light strum of the strings on the 'return' from the downstrum as a sort of transition between the two sets of downstrums - hope that makes some kind of sense?

  • @LedJen1
