You are my favorite online teacher becuase you make it feel like you are right there and so helpful, also you don't rush so us beginners can learn, thank you so much and keep up the amazing work!
Cynthia thank you so much for these tutorials!!!!! I have wanted to learn to play a Ukulele since I was 10. I am now 62 just got my first and with your tutorials and God willing and the creek don't rise as some of the people here say I am going to learn to play. Thank you for taking your time demonstrating the different note and strumming it is so helpful to be able to see exactly what you are doing.
Simultaneous practice 05:38 island strum variation, 07:15 chucking island strum, 08:30 words of wisdom from our Bay Princess, 01:55 play along now. 5 sc allocated for fingers placement
BAHHHHH!! You're so good!!!! I've been practicing for a week, and I cannot multitask singing with strumming. I mess up the beat and forget what I have to do!!
As a beginner uke player, I really appreciate how clear your tutorials are. Love that I can see the chords and the lyrics! You are definitely the best and I'm looking forward to learning more with you. Thanks so much!
I got my ukulele a few days ago and i've been doing my best to learn by watching several different you tubers. Let me just say that you're defiantly the best teacher I've watched!!
I think I found my uke teacher. YAY!!!! Can't wait to start learning. I really need to structure my uke playing because I just play by feel and that's quite limiting when I reach a wall. :D
I seriously love how far I have come following Cynthia. I can sing (badly) and play (pretty well) at the same time. i love it. Cynthia is the best uke teacher I've found.
To all of you guys who are just sitting there wondering if they will ever be able to do this read this. You can do it if you put your mind to it. I know you can do it. Just keep practicing and you will get there. I believe in you all 😊
You're one of the best instructors for ukelele on youtube! thanks! You don't just stay in the key of C every song, harmonically interesting and very clear explanations! You go!
When I started watching your videos about 10 months ago I thought "I'm yours" was fast. Ha! Damn this song is fast. The only song that counts as cardio as well.
thank you!!!! you are amazing I found my chuck I played riptide with you hundreds of times before I found it i am a newbie on the uke thank you thank you thank UUUUUUUUUUUUU PCB Florida.
Came here to say exactly the same thing. I can play everything perfectly until it comes to G and then it either takes me ten mins to get it, or it sounds like I killed a cat. One day though....
I love, Love, LOVE your teaching style! I played ukulele as a child - my 3rd grade teacher taught the class and it was so much fun! Then my husband got me a ukulele for Christmas. I’m almost 50 years old and I still can play “Ain’t She Sweet” from muscle memory! Of course I want to play much more than that one song so I searched TH-cam and found a few online instructors. You are my favorite!! I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you SO very much! Also, I think the song “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer would sound great on uke!
So inspiring even to musicial "dummies" like me! I often feel I can only play uninspiring versions of songs because I get frustrated but you're the only one to explain everything so well and in a way that feels do-able, and for an exciting version of the song. Thank you!
Wife picked up a second hand Uke and as of yesterday have been learning this wonderful instrument. Learned alot from watching this video - thanks for the breakdowns and how to's! Now on to learning one of my recent fave songs ~
Hi Cynthia, just wanted to say you’re awesome! Your tutorials are light, fun, well-explained and inspiring. I am learning how to play Ukulele from your videos and I’m amazed how easily I’m picking things up. You’re a true teacher, thank you :) greetings from Warsaw, Poland
you made the chorus strumming part more appealing and accurate than the most viewed tutorial of this song on youtue ! thanks again and ALOHA ALL THE WAY FROM BRAZIL !
Love learning how to chuck! Looked at different sites trying to understand it better...I think the part I wasn't understanding is that you only chuck on the downstroke...back to work on this! Thank you for the new song! As a beginner I am more interested in songs without finger picking. You are a great teacher!
There was chucking at Craig and Sara's not so little ukulele festival and I thought... I need to learn this! You were so cute on there, btw! Anyway, that day I started with the Lion Sleeps Tonight and then quickly found this one. DANG! It is tricky. After almost a week I can very reliably do the chucking strum at .5X normal speed and with only a few flubs .75X normal speed. "Normal" speed feels CRAZY and makes my arm tired. I can't wait 'til I'm there!
Cynthia, you are outstanding!! I have been practicing your version of this and surprised that it is sounding better! When I first bought my uke, it was just for fun and nothing I tried to play sounded right. Now it is taking shape thanks to you. ❤Thank you for your gift of teaching. And I love your sweet voice!
Yes you are my fave also!❤. You make it look so easy, you break it all down nice and clearly and then…..I CRASH!! I just keep on practicing girl. Thanks for the lessons Cynthia
Wow Cynthia! You sound so good! I can not stop playing this over and over. I’m gonna try to learn this song. You are such an inspiration to me. I would have never thought I could play any instrument. But, following your lead, I am jammin on the Uku! You have enriched my life Cynthia. God bless you and thank you so much for bringing me along into your beautiful Uku and ‘ALOHA’ world.
I’m still working at it. Putting all the strums together, singing are difficult but the hardest is the variation island strum where after the ‘d- D..,’ I bring my strumming hand back up and down again without strumming to finish the ‘ u du”. I’ll get it, eventually🤠
I saw one of your older videos when I first got my uke and I totally forgot about you. This video was in my recommendations and this was probably one of the best videos I have watched on tutorials. Tysm!
Ironic "I love you when you're singing that song andI got a lump in my throat 'cause You're gonna sing the words wrong" and you sing coming down instead of running down in the song ... I like this a lot :D
your videos have helped me SOOOO much. I just got my uke and I didn't know how to strum or switch chords. now I'm getting good at it. Can you make a video over playing faster/ getting caught up? Thank you
What a great song and great tutorial! I'm just playing through Cynthia's "beginner 2" list and had never heard this wonderful song and uke version were I not lucky enough to come across this tutorial. Thanks Cynthia for this gem. That chucking strum is great and it's complicated enough that I can't quite sing with it yet. Something to which to look forward.
Wow Girl you are amazing! Your tutorials are so informative, and I cant watch any other tutorials cause they don't make as much sense as yours do!!!!! LOVE YA!
I just can't get this chucking right...Everytime I try it slowly it perfectly works. But once it goes faster I completely mess up. :( But still, thank you so much for the tutorial! I just got my ukulele a week ago and I am already obsessed practicing. :D Greetings from Germany!
OMG you are fabulous. Thanks for doing this. l'm a total newbie to Ukulele and loving it. When you played this song I darned near jumped out of my seat to dance. LOL
Hi! I'm new here, I just learned Rip Tide with Ricky Somborns' youtube tutorial and it was so helpful, now I want to learn it with chucking and im so glad I found your video! Your video is great, only suggestion would be to add the strumming pattern to the sing along portion. I immediatley forgot it as I started playing it for the first time. I'll write it down on a paper though so I dont forget it! Big thank you for putting this together!
I like your videos a lot! I'm learning to play with cerebral palsy in my right hand. First 2 weeks have been learning how to strum. I'll get there eventually :)
I FREAKING LOVE YOU. You make my heart sing. I love your presence, how well you break down each lesson, how easy going and easy to follow you are! I could easily go on. I wish there were more people like you in the world and if you are ever in the Pacific Northwest I would Love to host you =) I hope you are having a fabulous day and thank you so much for all you do. You have made my life better.

I’ve been trying for weeks to learn this from countless videos and all of a sudden today I found this and learned within the hour!!!
When I started watching your videos about 10 months ago I thought "I'm yours" was fast. Ha! Damn this song is fast. The only song that counts as cardio as well.
thank you!!!! you are amazing I found my chuck I played riptide with you hundreds of times before I found it i am a newbie on the uke thank you thank you thank UUUUUUUUUUUUU PCB Florida.

I simply LOVE your fingerpicking pattern!! It’s so logical to me and much easier to practice than anything I saw before! Thank you so much 🫶🏼
what does h4 stand for in the solo fingerpicking on the chord chart?
Brilliant..especially the 'chucking' bit..really well explained..really enjoying doing it.. :)
Wow! When I suddenly started strumming correctly and hitting the chords on time it felt magical! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for all the in-depth tutorials! Cause of you I'll definitely be getting a concert ukelele.
So nice to hear your strumming & singing at the same time! What a nice voice you've got! God bless you, Cynthia Lin!
