    I don't know if *everyone* can sing and play at the same time, but I'm sure with a bit of practice most people can! There's no set amount of time, just keep at it and don't worry if you make mistakes. You'll eventually get the hang of it!

  • @TheUkuleleTeacher

    Thanks for the suggestion - I'd never heard of them before, but that's a really cool song! Might do a lesson for it if I get a chance, definitely!

  • @TheUkuleleTeacher
    @TheUkuleleTeacher  13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Glad it helped - keep practicing, the better you get the more fun it is!
    Might well do "I'm Yours" next as I've had quite a few requests for it...

    Have watched close to 100 uke how to vids since getting my Uke a week ago, this is by far the best :How to Vid" I have watched. I appreciate that you not only tell us how to play the chords, you lay finger placement, progressions and strumming pattern - Thank you!

  • @TheUkuleleTeacher
    @TheUkuleleTeacher  13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the comment! Will definitely put it on the list of songs to do in the future...

    i bought a uke just to walk around playing anything for fun, because i had never played a guitar or uke and i didnt know any notes and wasnt intended on learning much but i decided to get on youtube and have a look for something to teach some basics and after about 4 days im already playing most of your songs and all the notes you have taught! thanks and btw it would be great if you put a easy video tutorial of free falling by tom petty

  • @TheUkuleleTeacher

  • @TheUkuleleTeacher

  • @TheUkuleleTeacher
    @TheUkuleleTeacher  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you're still there, you were the first one to ask for this song. 200 requests and 10 months later I've finally done it - check out my latest vid!

  • @TheUkuleleTeacher
    @TheUkuleleTeacher  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks very much, I appreciate that!

  • @DesignVapor
    @DesignVapor 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    a loose sitting index or middle finger works good for me. just make whichever finger you choose "floppy" (so to speak). and gently glide that finger down the ukulele strings with your fingernail and then up with the tip of your fingerprint. if that makes sense. keep trying that and you should get the hang of it. usually picks make the uke sound a bit more choppy and harsh, unlike your fingers that make it sound more free flowing and mellow. the looser or softer the pic the better it should sound

    Hey ukulele teacher, I want to make a suggestion. In my opinion it would be nice to hear you playing the whole song before the tutorial starts. I think it helps to the tutorial part. Cheers

    @1abchannel 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    hi TheUkuleleTeacher. I have a few questions.
    1) can everyone play and sing at the same time?
    2)if yes, how long should train to do that if i am beginner
    i always think about my right hand(i mean moves) and when i start sing i can't play
    Can I learn to sing and play at the same time?

    @KerryJ 9 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    I find it so hard to strum evenly and sing!

    • @gershwin67
      @gershwin67 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kerry J, use your thumb on down stroke and Index finger on up stroke , you will get it easier that way. I Hope this will Help you a lot! and those who doesn't have ukelele yet, you guys can use your guitar... if you have the classical guitar is much better, just put a CAPO on 5th string and use only the four bottom string 1,2,3, and 4th string then mute the 5th and the 6th string dump it with the palm of your right hand or use a styrofoam to damp those 2 string (5th and 6th). Then once you learn it buy yourself a ukelele...
