Today was my first lesson with Katie and it was awesome. Being a beginner guitarist (and being 64 years old...LOL) I was really apprehensive about taking online lessons through Skype, however, Katie did an excellent job. She was prompt and on time in contacting me.on Skype. She took her time to get to know me a little before we started. She asked me about my experience with the guitar and also what my personal goals were as we progressed through our lessons. By the time we actually started the lesson she made me feel very comfortable in what she was planning. She is one very fun and easy going instructor, plus she is one good guitarist and singer. I also wanted to share with everyone that prior to me signing up for the lesson package I had emailed her about what I was interested in learning and find out if she could teach what I was looking for. She promptly emailed me back and informed me about everything and that once I signed up she would be back in touch. The day I signed up and booked my first lesson she personally emailed me and thanked me for joining what she considers her music family and sent me 5 practice sheets that she used in the first lesson with me. Even though this is my first lesson I am truly impressed with her professionalism, friendliness, and encouragement that she has shown me today. If you are thinking of taking lessons I would highly recommend her. Thanks Katie
Oh I’m so happy that this helped you!!! Sometimes I wonder if my videos will be something someone wants to see and find useful, so thank you. I.mm glad it helped.
Been playing, badly, for many years, dont bother much with a metronome,,,,10 minutes after watching this I am fingerpicking don't think twice with a speed and precision it would have taken me days to reach on my own, if I ever managed at all! Great lesson!
I'm so thankful to find your lessons. The are so important for me to learn ukulele. I'm from Austria and my english isn't the best. It's a little bit difficult for me to follow you all the time. 🙃 you are a great teacher, so nice and friendly, allways in a good mood ..thank you for all this great lessons.
Thank you very much Katie. As an absolute ukulele beginner I tried to use a metronom last week and did not know how to use it. Today I found a link to this video in a facebook group and it helped me a lot. When my fingers stop hurting, I will try playing with a metronom. :) Greetings from Austria
This made my day! I’m so happy that this helped you, so thank you so much for taking the time to watch and to comment. This really touched my heart ❤️. May I know Facebook group featured this video? Thanks again!
@@OneMusicSchool oh, so good to know, that my words touched your heart. Thank you very much for your answer. It is an international group, called "Ukulele lessons and tutorials"
That’s so awesome, and I’m very honored to be featured in your group. There are so many great teachers out there, so it’s a great feeling to see that a video is helping people.
Great tutorial on using a metronome. I've been learning ukulele for six months now, and I've found it very interesting that coming from a drumming background, which in times past was almost considered as being a non musician, I've heard and read from a number of knowledgeable music teachers that RHYTHM is the trickiest element of learning music, above melody and harmony. I guess without a regular heartbeat, the music just goes all over the place, right? I really liked being a fly on the wall for part of that Skype lesson; you're a very kind and patient teacher. My personal challenge is having limited eyesight, so I have to get rather creative with written notation and tabs! Stay well, dear lady.
I watched the Red Violin recently again ... and one of the characters claims to invent the metronome device, and helps his protege with his speed and proficiency. Good movie :) I remember the old wooden ones we used in stage band ages ago. They were awesome :) Good morning, Katie:)
Very cool! I had never heard of that before, so thanks for mentioning that. I had an old wooden one as well. It drove me nuts, but now I want it back 😀. So good to see you in the comments section. I really appreciate it.
Thank you Katie for this video! I've always been hesistant to practice guitar with a metronome because i never understood or knew how to use it. Thank you for the explanation and tips. I've downloaded a metronome app and I feel a bit more assured to try practicing at a slow pace. I'm currently practicing finger-picking exercises on the guitar (from you), so I know using a metronome is important! Thanks. ❤️
Happy Trails! I was here & I loved it! Onto the next video... (some of these I've seen in my earlier days but didn't "like" so we are doing that now since I now understand that is an important metric for your success with TH-cam...
Ok, here's my 2 cents worth... As an ex-piano tinkler, I still write on my paper under notes/rests/etc, esp for 1st time thru: 1 & 2 & 3 &... I also find closing my eyes, toe-tapping, beat-boxing the uke in tempo, becoming one with music, works for me. And you're gonna laugh, but after 1 of your reviews, I got the foot tam & I love it! Happy Trails 🙋♀️
I've played classical guitar for 25 years and I just bought a metronome this past year. My first teacher was ADAMANT on keeping time internally and never allowed a metronome. However, now that I've been using it more I can see what I was missing!
I’ve been learning online for about 3 years now. I’ve gone through the Justin guitar beginner course and intermediate course and various other random online lessons. This is the first truly useful metronome video I’ve found in all my searching! I’m gonna check out the website and try to talk my wife into letting me get some online lessons!
Wow! Thank you for being so encouraging 😀. I have enormous respect for Justin , so thank you for your encouragement. I’m thrilled that this helped you, and means a lot to me that you watched and took the time to comment. I really appreciate it.
Justin is an excellent teacher, and I’ve learned so much from his videos. He is very good for absolute beginners because many teachers kind of treat people as if the are more advanced than they really are. My wife bought me a guitar when I was 36 for our anniversary. Now having just turned 40, I wonder why I didn’t do it when I was younger, but it has brought me so much joy that I’m glad I started exactly when I did. I’m no David Gilmour, nor do I ever expect to be, but when I’m playing a song and singing along I feel so proud of myself. Please keep up the awesome videos! You make so many of us happy!
Hi Katie, the way you teach ukulele I love so much, pop songs, Disney songs, strumming patters, fingerpicking style, I believe I have learned a lot from u, every single video you, your hairs and dresses are so beautiful, plus your beautiful voice and great skills of Uke ! Congrats on your new baby! I love u so much! I will be your forever fan in the rest of my life! Stay safe & health this special moment!
Hi, thanks for this helpful lesson. I would like to use the metronome in other time signatures, such as 3/4 or 3/8. How do I set my metronome correctly? Thanks again.
Set the metronome to 60 BPM. Clap your hands on top of the pulses. It will be silent. It is not broken. You now have perfect time plus or minus 1 millisecond. Now do the same at 40 BPM.
My problem is tapping my foot when I start strumming 16th notes. Some one told me to tap it only on the 1,2,3,4 and that's hard for me to do. I tend to want to tap it with every beat I hear and I get too focused on that that I mess up on my strumming. Any tips?
You’re not the only one that struggles with this, and you’re not alone. I would say slow the tempo down and count the 16th notes out loud while only tapping the downbeats (1,2,3,4). That way you won’t Em wear out your foot but still practice subdivisions. Slow is a good pace. Don’t put pressure on yourself to go fast. If it’s messing you up, feel free to slow down and work on what you need to work on. I hope that helps.
Hi, and thanks for watching 😀. I really like pulse metronome. It’s the one that I used in the video. I don’t think you can go wrong with a program. You may just have to try a couple and see if that works for you. I hear you. There are lots of choices. I hope that helps 😀.
That’s great! I actually have lots of guitar lessons 😀. Here’s a playlist, so I hope that helps. th-cam.com/play/PLP-joYz6Bd09m29h3EY62oypkb7zIXNov.html
Yes my first time to here your nice voice and I subscribed your TH-cam you sing the song you were the word at the beginning. I really really like your voice so nice to here God bless you more and thanks so much

Thank you for being here. That makes me so happy that this helped you 😀.
This is perfect timing for me, since I've just been trying to use a metronome app in the last week for the first time.

Hi, thanks for this helpful lesson. I would like to use the metronome in other time signatures, such as 3/4 or 3/8.
How do I set my metronome correctly? Thanks again.
I had the same questions as well.
Can you please explain where the strum pattern DDU-UDU sits on the four beat, I just can't seem to get the rhythm of it
11:20
Set the metronome to 60 BPM. Clap your hands on top of the pulses. It will be silent. It is not broken. You now have perfect time plus or minus 1 millisecond. Now do the same at 40 BPM.
Hiiiiii!😘 How are you? I love this ukulele

Hi Katie, what online metronome app do you recommend as there are so many to choose from. I use an iPad to iPhone. TIA
Hi, and thanks for watching 😀. I really like pulse metronome. It’s the one that I used in the video. I don’t think you can go wrong with a program. You may just have to try a couple and see if that works for you. I hear you. There are lots of choices. I hope that helps 😀.
Pulse metronome or Pulse-Haptic Metronome?
It should say pulse metronome &tap tempo. It’s a green circle with a black background.
One Music School thank you.
I want also to learn more play guitar
That’s great! I actually have lots of guitar lessons 😀. Here’s a playlist, so I hope that helps.
