Here's a new play along for The Sound Of Silence so you can play the entire song along with me 😊 th-cam.com/video/s40CA7vMhL4/w-d-xo.html
I’m so excited to challenge myself to your play along track. I’ve been working on this for about a month now, and I’m so close to being able to get all the way through without flubbing something along the way 😂
My father requested this song at his funeral before he passed of stomach cancer….. beautiful song.
That is so touching Kevin 💕
I've just celebrated my 60th birthday and finally am learning an instrument! Thanks Lara, you make this doable.

Masterful lesson arousing enthusiasm to play this very beautiful song, Lara !
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed this lesson 😊
Thanks for your idea to create original melodies using only 2 or 3 strings. Yes, that makes them more accessible to many viewers without being frustrated if they play with high G only.
You're very welcome! 😊

@@colson8327 Thanks so much!
Great tutorial but only thing missing is a full play along at the end
Hi Ronnie, I had to remove the play along because of copyright restrictions. These limitations have changed over the years, though, and a full song play along is in the works 😊
Beautiful. Thank you so much!
Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed this! Thanks for the sub!
Just beautiful ! Thank you for sharing this tutorial on a great song. What kind of uke are you playing here ? Sounds lovely.
Thank you! I'm playing a tenor Kala. Here's the link: amzn.to/2XcWHJC
Très belle chanson que je vais essayer d'apprendre aussi. J'ai du pain sur la planche. Bon une à la fois 😅 Qu'elle bonne idée le Qr code qui nous emmène directement sur les chansons à apprendre. Bravo pour ce beau projet !!
Thanks Debbie, I'm so glad you're enjoying learning this song! 😊
Hi Lara, I love your tutorials and the way you share your wisdom. i was wondering if you'd consider doing some baritone ukulele tutorials? thank you for your consideration! mike
Hi Mike, thanks so much, I'm glad you like my teaching style! I haven't gotten into playing baritone as I have so much to keep me busy with my tenors, but perhaps I will down the road. Many of my patrons and subscribers play my low G fingerstyle arrangements on their baritone ukes, so you could follow those tutorials if you're interested. Thanks for the request! 😊
Hi Lara you have really inspired me and I don’t even have a Ukulele, can I ask about your instrument details thanks David
Hi David, I'm playing a tenor Kala in this video. Here's a link with the details: amzn.to/2XcWHJC It's a beautiful instrument. Glad to hear you're feeling inspired 😊
I can't thank you enough! Love it! I just started learning few days ago and founded you chanel today. For me you're the best teacher far!
Aww, thanks so much Maria! Welcome and have fun with the lessons 😊
I would love to learn how to play BREATH , the title track to the movie SOUND OF FREEDOM : )
Great !question : is it ok to useaclassical guitar D string as a low G on a Ukulele without affecting the instrument? Tks
Hi Gaetan, I’ve never tried this myself, however, I’ve heard about people successfully using classical D guitar strings for the low G on ukulele. Make sure it’s a nylon string (not steel), and that the guage of the string is correct for your ukulele. If you don’t already have the D string, then I would recommend going with a low G ukulele string.
Hello Lara I have admired your tutorials for a long time your teaching method is the best on TH-cam in my opinion, so in a effort to make my Uke sound like yours I changed my Ukes strings i replaced the high G strings that i have used for years to low G just like yours, then I looked for your latest instruction video only to find that that you are now teaching three string uke using only C E A, is this pattern going to continue Lara will it be a two string tutorial next time. Stay safe.
Hi Patrick, I'm so glad you're enjoying my lessons, thank you! Interesting timing for this video right after you changed your low G. My lessons will generally use all 4 strings. Occasionally I like to create original melodies using only 2 or 3 strings to make them more accessible to my viewers. For this song, the pattern on strings 1-3 seemed to be the best fit. More tutorials using low G are on the way 😊
@@LaraMarkowitzMusic Thank you for the prompt reply Lara I hope you know i was kidding, thank you again for all the wonderful lessons.
What strumming pattern would you recommend as an alternative? Island or some other?
Great question! I find the island strum is a bit too much for this song. I would do a D - D U pattern with downstrums on beats one and two, and an upstrum on the "and" after beat two.
I only stumbled across your channel yesterday, could I please enquire as to the model of Ukelele you are using in this tutorial.
Sure, it's a Kala KA-STGE-C tenor. Here's a link to the model: amzn.to/3V02Mbf
Excellent Lara but I'd expect no less from you. How do you get your uke to sound so good and clear? Microphone or electronics? Thanks for all you do. Paul
Thanks Paul! I don't have any special equipment, just a mic that attaches to the camera. I have some panels on the wall to reduce the echo. People often comment when they hear my uke in person that it sounds like harp 😉 I'm glad that you're enjoying the sound quality. Thanks for the question!
♥️
I would like to know how to do this on the baritone ukulele, it is so pretty
Thanks Patricia, I don't have a baritone uke but I'll make a note of your request :)
Will you do The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel
I'll add it to my requests list, thanks! 😊
I really enjoyed this !! Have you read the story behind this song. You will really like the song even more when you see why Art Garfunkel wrote it !
I actually came across the story a few months ago. Very touching!
It was written by Paul Simon.
Very nice. Had a look at your patreon joining list. Do i assume that the $5 a month fee does not include TAB notes as I do not read Music
Hi Steve, that's correct. The Song Sheets tier includes PDFs with chords, lyrics, and strumming/picking patterns as well as lesson materials for technique practices. Some song sheets do include tabs for riffs. Thanks for the question!
Watched a lot of htp this Song and this Tutorial is far the best ive found. Love it really much. 😘
Thanks so much Andreas, I'm glad this was helpful! 😊
Do you play the theme from the detectorists at all? I'd really love to learn that one. I love your tutorials. X
I'm not familiar with it but I'll check it out. Glad to hear you're enjoying the tutorials, thanks! 😊
@@LaraMarkowitzMusic Thank you.
@@LaraMarkowitzMusic. th-cam.com/video/Q58Gm18-IMY/w-d-xo.html
Hello thank you to share/ It is nice/ Here the picking is C A E A ? Correct?
Yes, it is! 😊
hi lara which ukelele are you using a soprano or baritone?
Hi Marvin, I'm using a tenor 😊
