Marco, Thanks so much. Your lessons are so very clear. Your love and appreciation of the instrument is infectious. Your two camera editing style makes following along simple and reviewing the material easy to navigate. Your lesson choices are perfect. Keep up the brilliant work.
well this video had me pulling out my ukulele from the depths of the closet, tuning it up, and enjoying myself for a few minutes. I think this could be the kick in the pants i need to start playing it
Wow...had a ukulele for 2 years and didn't touch it for months till I saw this tutorial..after hearing you play the chord progression, I just had to try it..been at it for about half an hour and it's beginning to sound really good..keep the outstanding work up...best from the Netherlands.
Bonjour, First discovery and it makes you want to follow you more. Of course, as a French person, I have a lot of difficulty understanding your American language, but the tutorial is so well done that despite this, I achieve a very good result : so a Patreon contribution to be seriously considered !!!! Merci beaucoup. Eric
Love this style! I am interested in international music such as Indian Chinese German etc. Seems all styles sound beautiful on ukulele. Would love you to teach these in a similar way as the Hawaiian chords
Thank you Marco for this beautiful piece of music to practice. The chromatic transitions make it all seamlessly go together and brings such a sweet sound to my ukulele, honestly it’s as though it’s a different instrument all together when played like this. Very good my friend please keep up the good work
Thanks, Marco. Even though I have just recently started to play I can follow your explanations. And I love your chord progressions. Thanks for sharing!!
😂😉, I stumbled across those first 4 notes a few years ago😎👍….I have a simple Hawaiian ‘music-box waltz’ tune that I do. ……..seems you may have taught me how to throw in more than a few embellishments into it😀👍‼️
You can slow it down yourself by pressing the three point menu in the upper right corner of the video. There you can choose the speed you want to watch it at
On the title of your video "Beautiful Hawaiian Chords in the 'ukulele", what is a Hawaiian chord? As a professional musician in Hawai'i that plays traditional Hawaiian music, I don't know any chord it have never learned anything that would be called a Hawaiian chord? And FYI, if you are going to demonstrate Kiho'alu or Slack Key, please try to incorporate the alternating bass lines that we use or else you are just doing arpeggios with a single bass note to start each measure and loses the allure and complexity of Kiho'alu. And FYI, what you are playing in the chromatics are emulating a Hawaiian Steel Guitar which is a more modern instrument and was added to Hawaiian music post 1900's. If you were to listen to the Auana portions of any Hula Competitions and they are doing what is considered Modern Hula and so is the music, you will not generally hear a steel guitar in the band as it was not part of the traditional instruments that were used in the playing of Traditional Hawaiian Music at the time, the instruments would be a guitar, piano, 'ukulele, and upright bass. Just thought you should know. 😉
Thanks for the comment. When I said "Hawaiian" chords, I referred to the style in which the chords are played. Saying that something sounds Hawaiian doesn't mean that you are using a set of special and unique "Hawaiian" chords. Instead, it is the way you play the chords that define the style. The chord progression I am playing in this example is a simple C F, and G, but the chromatic approach between the chords makes the progression sound "Hawaiian." For example, a flamenco chord progression doesn't have particular "Spanish" chords that someone must learn to create a Spanish chord progression. The chords are Am G F E; however, it is the way we interpret the chords using harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic elements that are traditional of flamenco music that makes these chords sound "Spanish." I am not sure when the lap steel guitar was introduced, but this is the sound that inspired me for this lesson. The chromatic notes that you hear when the steel bar moves between two chords are the sound I wanted to reproduce in this chord progression, which sounds quite Hawaiian to me. I apologize if my terminology sounds irrelevant, stupid, or offensive to Hawaiian people. I focus on the music and try to make it accessible to everyone, hence the colorful title with "Hawaiian chords." If you are a professional Hawaiian musician, please, consider sharing your knowledge and music with this community so that we can appreciate more of your beautiful culture.
Let's be honest, there is no such thing as a 'traditional Hawaiian chord'. All chords were invented in Europe and are only traditional there. Pretending Hawaiians had original chordal music before Europeans showed is just as absurd as pretending the ukulele isn't a Portuguese instrument.
Good point. Traditional means produced, done, or used in accordance with tradition. European might have invented the chords but they never used it in that particular Hawaiian style.
Finally a ukulele lesson with some true depth and understanding of the instrument, thank you for that content.
Can you please make more tutorials like this where you’re teaching how to play classic Hawaiian sounds?
Just started playing ukulele and have loved so much following this tutorial! thank you so much

Is there a way you have to tone the uke?
My ukulele does not sound like yours.mIs yuor tuned in a different pattern?
Nope standard Uke tuning

You talk too much just simply explain in short and the chords your unnecessary explanation makes me bored
