Here's a new Hallelujah full song play along 😊 th-cam.com/video/HAuR_tR17AU/w-d-xo.html Also, the song sheet is available on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/39462192
Thank you so much ❤ because of you this is my second song on the ukulele and I finally can sing to it. Need to practice but just wanted to thank you :)
Strumming and finger picking is all very well if you can sing. Without the melody it's a nonsense. I need a tab with single notes and chords for the melody as my voice sounds like a cat with its tail caught in the door! 🙄
One of my favorite songs, I have always strummed it so now I’m excited to learn the fingerpicking version with your helpful instructions- your style of teaching is so easy to follow - thank you 😊
Thank you so much!! Your tutorials are so clear and concise - even a beginner like me can follow them and learn!! Thanks for the the beautiful variety of ways to play this beautiful song. 🎶🙏🏾
Absolutely the best tutorial for Hallelujah that I have seen. I learned the “easy” version from a Hal Leonard book of easy uke songs....It was fun to learn it but this tutorial is just incredible
I entered the world of ukulele 6 months ago and discovered your channel now. the best ukulele channel I've seen so far. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. God bless your life!
Thank you so much for sharing this , I am a total beginner and am having such fun following along with your videos. They are clear and easy to follow and I am learning so much.
This is the best Hallelujah finger pick tutorial I have found - just WOW! 🤩 It needs more thumbs up!! Also perfect for the low G Tenor instrument. Thanks Lara, you are a great teacher.
Thanks for this. I've been trying to learn this song and have trouble with strumming. I was able to get through the song with your help (with some not so smooth chord changes) But that will come. Will be fun to try out the finger picking methods as well because I have not done any of that. But will learn it one step at a time.
This was an amazingly well-explained lesson which made this song accessible to me - a rank beginner. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber! Thank you!!!
amazing teacher it is great to learn the structure of this song. I pick this on my guitar but some of the chords r a big challenge for me. I think I just now b able to handle this on the ukulele with alot of practice. I love all the picking patterns. thank u so much.
Hey @LaraMarkowitzMusic! This is really nice. I think you’ve just helped me make the jump to ukulele. I’m a guitar player at heart (and there’s a long way to go still with that), but a ukulele makes a lot of sense when traveling by plane. I followed this by clamping a capo on my guitar at the 5th fret and it’s been a charm. There’s the issue of the octave not matching on the resultant g string, but that’s pretty minor. What’s really unexpected is that I’ve been working on Pink Floyd’s Learning to Fly and that works out almost seamlessly on ukulele. Looks like ukulele will also inform guitar playing. Subbed!
Hi Curtis, this is great to hear! I'm so glad I helped you to make the jump. It's definitely easier to travel with a uke. Thanks for subbing and have fun with the lessons 😊
New uke player here. I've been working on this as my 1st song for abt a month and couldn't figure out a strumming pattern that my old, fat, stubby, arthritic fingers would coordinate between both hands. This works so well! Thanks and I've subscribed!
thank you so much, I've got my ukulele with me here and I'm now learning how to play Hallelujah ever since I know how to sing it, YESSS NOW I CAN SING IT AND PLAY IT AT THE SAME TIME!!!
@@LaraMarkowitzMusic I still can't do it properly but I've been practising the entire past 2 weeks and I think I made a progress!! it's hard to multitask especially with singing singing since it takes the whole concentration after all haha
Your tutorials very well done and I am so enjoying. Couldn't get my fingerpicking to sound clear and sharp like you do. Then I had am aHa moment! I noticed your right hand fingers have fingernails and it appears you pluck with your nails. I tried to duplicate with a pic and sure enough I got a tone similar to yours. Guess i better start drinking milk and let my fingernails grow some. Thanks, Thom
Hi Thom, great to hear that you had an aha moment! I experimented for a while with the length of my nails and I prefer the sound picking with my nails rather than fingertips. Glad you're enjoying the tutorials, thanks! 😊
Hey Lara, really liking your tutorials! i've been playing a baritone uke but started using some of your fingerpicking songs on it. if you are playing in the key of C and i follow your cord patterns, does that mean i'm in the key of G? i particularly like how you show us 4 different ways to play the song. and last but not least have you ever done, "those were the days, my friend"? thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Mike, I'm so glad you're enjoying the tutorials! Yes, if you're using the same chord shapes as me on your baritone then you'll be in the key of G. I'll add Those Were The Days to my requests list, thanks!
Thank you so much Lara for sharing your music and your teaching method. For me, it has been the first time that I can play and sing at the same time. It means the world to me! Thanxxxxx
Hi Lara, did u just loose the forth string to low G or change the string to a low one? Thanks for all your amazing videos. I feel like finding a new life that guitar can't bring to me. Ukulele is uncompetitve portable.
Hi Adam, for low G tuning you need to change the string to a low G string. It's wonderful that you're finding so much joy in playing ukulele! 😊 Glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks!
When you go back up with the strum are you just hitting that c cord or all chords? Im 71 and striving to learn with my grandson that's 8. I love for channel screens thank you for putting these tutorials out here for us. God bless ❤
Hi Patricia, I think you may be asking if the upstrum includes all 4 strings? If so, all 4 strings create the complete chord, however, it's ok if you only catch 2 or 3 strings on the way up before the next downstrum. Upstrums become easier and more consistent with practice over time. That's wonderful that you're learning with your grandson! 😊
Thanks so much Bill, I'm glad you're enjoying my tutorials! All of my tabs, songsheets, and lesson materials can be downloaded and printed from Patreon. Here's the link: www.patreon.com/LaraMarkowitz
Nice Job Lara, like the rest of your videos so far I’ve watched . I can’t believe how many variations of the lyrics there are out there for this song, but that doesn’t matter much with your teaching of how to play it. Thank You.
Hi David, when I was preparing for this tutorial and listening to recordings, I was surprised too at how many variations there were on the lyrics, number of verses, and sequence of the verses. Thanks for your note and I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson!
I’ve been trying to find a finger picking tutorial for this song for a long time now. I’m a beginner but I surprising picked it up somewhat quickly! Your a grate teacher thank you!
Hi! I noticed that your 4th string sound way different than mine. I saw yours is a tenor uke (and I think mine is concert) but I understand the standard ukulele tuning is G/C/E/A, even for tenor sizes. Can you explain me which tuning do you have in this video and if I need to change anything in relation to that? :)
It's weird, the chords fingerings are correct for a concert uke, but the top string does sound lower than the next one. I guess it's just dropped an octave lower?
Hi! I'm using GCEA tuning and I'm using a low G string rather than a high G. Here are the strings that I use for my tenor: amzn.to/2AHd6hQ If you're interested in trying out a low G, Aquila also makes a low G string for concerts. I love the sound of the lower notes compared to traditional high G tuning and it provides more options for fingerstyle melodies. Thanks for the question! :)
@@LaraMarkowitzMusic You just blew my mind! I definitely want to get a low-g for my ukulele, but now I am confirming that it is baritone (and I am not finding many options). Any recommendation? Thanks in advance. :)
@@alexsotodigital Baritone ukes typically use non-reentrant DGBE tuning, so if you use standard baritone tuning then the tuning on your strings will be from low to high, similar to mine but starting on D rather than G. You could follow this tutorial with that tuning, you'll just be in a different key. Also you can use a capo to create GCEA tuning. Some people do tune their baritones to GCEA with a low G so it's something you could try. I'm not sure about putting a tenor low G on a baritone...you may want to check with a music shop ;)
Great lesson but it would really help me to have a fret diagram showing position and fingering of finger picking patterns as iit is not easy to see what your fingers are doing.
Hi Annette, I totally agree. This was one of my earlier videos and I started including diagrams once I discovered a better editing software. I film more up close now so you can see my fingers better. The diagrams are included in my song book if you're interested. Thanks for your feedback!
I just found you're channel Lara. You are a gifted teacher and have a beautiful voice. I have subscribed and will enjoy going through you're tutorials. Keep up the great work.🙂
Hi Lara, the Em is actually an E chord (or E7) in both Leonard Cohen's and Jeff Buckley's version. (Definitely not E minor, you hear the harmonic scale tone G# leading back to A there very clearly)
You're an amazing teacher! I love you're teaching style! Very easy to follow instructions and the pace and tone of your voice is so comforting. Thank you Lara!
This is so so good! Such an empowering tutorial...thank you thank you for helping me feel successful. How motivating (and such a lovely song of course too).
Thank you Lara, great tutorial for this classic. I follow another woman, but found her version hard to follow, even though I like her way of teaching too.

Hi Ronnie, in the playback toolbar at the bottom of the video, bring up the “settings” icon. In the menu that appears, click “Playback speed.” In the “Playback speed” menu, you can select a speed anywhere between 0.25 times and 2 times the speed, including a custom value within that range.
Hi Navin, I'm happy to hear that you found this helpful! I'll add Your Song to my requests list for future consideration. Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you Lara, these videos are so helpful and confidence building. I am a long way off playing anything like others but it is slowly coming together. I play for my own enjoyment and your tips and guidance are the best. Happy Christmas!!
Love the simplicity of yr teaching, not putt ing myself down but it's hard for me teachers go fast and I can't keep up ! Thank you so much, with yr method!
You are amazing 🤩 Today I found myself cutting the nails on my left hand down because I hit several stings at one time. The G and the E are hard to do! It has helped a little bit I think the rest is just practice.

Hi Lara, the Em is actually an E chord (or E7) in both Leonard Cohen's and Jeff Buckley's version. (Definitely not E minor, you hear the harmonic scale tone G# leading back to A there very clearly)

Beautiful . I would be very happy if you could present more songs by Leonhard Cohen
That's good to know, thanks 😊
Thank you so much Lara, there are lots of great resources online but I've found your low-key and clear tutorials absolutely outstanding. Making good progress on an instrument at last!
Thanks Monika, I'm so glad you're enjoying my lessons 😊 Great to hear that you're making good progress! 👍
Can you tell me how to slow this down when practising please
Hi Ronnie, in the playback toolbar at the bottom of the video, bring up the “settings” icon. In the menu that appears, click “Playback speed.” In the “Playback speed” menu, you can select a speed anywhere between 0.25 times and 2 times the speed, including a custom value within that range.
Many thanks for this Lara, I appreciate your prompt response
Thank you Lara for this amazing tutorial. It's been really helpful for me. I wish you could make a tutorial on Your Song by Elton John
Hi Navin, I'm happy to hear that you found this helpful! I'll add Your Song to my requests list for future consideration. Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you Lara, these videos are so helpful and confidence building. I am a long way off playing anything like others but it is slowly coming together. I play for my own enjoyment and your tips and guidance are the best. Happy Christmas!!
I'm so glad things are coming together for you and you're finding the videos helpful 🤗 Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you so much 😀

Where did you get your uke
I got my uke at a local music store many years ago. Here's the link if you're interested in ordering it online: amzn.to/2XcWHJC
Girl, you're the best in tutorials!!!! thank you from Argentina!!
Aww, you're very welcome!! 🤗
great tutorial just 1 thing you play Em chord but the melody is an E7 chord which sounds more like the guitar versions of buckley and so on
Thanks Don, I came across various versions of the chords when putting this tutorial together and decided to go with Em. I appreciate your feedback!
Awesome tutorial Thank you. Besides being a good musician, you are a great teacher. You made it simple to learn. Thanks again Lara.
I'm so glad you found this helpful Uma, thanks! 😊
Best teacher ever! Thank you so much! Just subscribed to your channel!!!
Thank you for subscribing! I'm so happy to hear that you like my teaching style 😊
what tone is it?
Hi Melissa, I'm not quite sure what you're asking but I'm playing a tenor uke with a low G. I hope that helps.
You are amazing 🤩
Today I found myself cutting the nails on my left hand down because I hit several stings at one time. The G and the E are hard to do! It has helped a little bit I think the rest is just practice.
Glad you enjoyed this!🤗 Short left hand nails definitely help! Have fun practicing and the chords will get easier over time😉
