Pretty much my whole life I though music was something I just couldn't do. I listened to all sorts of different genres as a teen and young adult and built up this knowledge base of artists, genres, and songs that I loved but aside from a couple of failed starts I didn't really try to learn an instrument because I thought I was inherently unable to. Fast forward to this year, age 33, and I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on medication. Within a month your channel has kinda upended what I thought I was capable of (aided by the newfound ability to focus on complex or unfamiliar tasks longer than 10 minutes). I still don't have a great singing voice, but I can make music happen with my fingers and that's something I didn't ever consider was possible. Thank you for the work you do.
I had the privilege of going to Hawaii and picking up the ukulele while there. I'm self taught and look up tutorials on all sorts of songs. I usually have to look up a few videos to find either a good teacher and/or one for chords and one for strumming pattern. It was SO nice to find a good teacher who breaks everything down, does both chords and strumming pattern and does the song at various speeds. As a bonus, there is a play along AND music sheet! HALLELUJAH!! To top everything off, you say ukulele correctly! You are my new favorite person! Thank you SO much for these videos!
Thanks a lot Ms Bernadette, you inspired me to start playing the uke, this is my first Instrument and playing the uke makes me feel better both mentally and physically. Big hugs from Türkiye 💖
A personal challenge for me with the strumming and singing of this song. But that's why I love your challenges. You encourage us to try the things we're scared of doing and make us better uke players that way. Thank you! 🖤
Thank you so much. I stopped playing for a while and have struggled to get back to where I was. Today's lesson has done the trick. I was able to keep up and play with you! and I feel my anxiety leaving and the confidence I had before returning. 💜
Wow, I am still here following you for many year (Okinawa days) Bernadette. Really happy to see you doing another challenge this year! I know folks will love it for sure!
So excited to be a part of this challenge as it's released! I learned the basics from your original challenge recently, and I'm so grateful for all the content you create - I struggle with learning, and without a teacher as skilled as you, I couldn't have kept my spirits up. Thanks so much!
Ricky must be so happy that this is the first song uke should know 🤣🤪 i actually learned it from one of his livestreams, but it's so good to get back to basics and regular practice! Looking forward to this challenge.. thanks so much Ms B! 💜
Thanks for this challenge Bernadette. You were my first ukulele teacher and a great one at that! The uke was my first instrument and I have really enjoyed your challenges the last few years. This one is a perfect way to get me playing. 🙂☺
Hi Bernadette Well glad to see you are doing another 30 day challenge, seems ages since the last one. Are any of the songs different from the challenges we did before. Wishies from Thelma ( South Wales u.k)
I love the way you play I want to ask also if you have worship song like here I am to worship I can easily play and follow you so quick I appreciate the way you share your time with us all God bless always
Little disappointed that it's mainly songs you've covered already or songs that are very popular with lots of tutorials for beginners. I was hoping it'd be a good challenge for me as an intermediate player but nevertheless these songs are always a blast to play. So cheers to another September challenge! 😊
Aww yeah, we wanted to organize a few of the most iconic songs in one challenge. I’m always taking requests, though! Please let me know what you’d like to learn ❤️
It's nice that you add something new even if it's the same song. Loving the addition of Abby's play a-longs. You have such an international following, it would be nice to have a challenge with a collection of traditional or folk songs from around the world. Adding history or background of the song like Dave Thorp gives in his posts would be great too.
Have a question about the up strum at a quick speed. How do you do an up strum at such fast speed? Abby, in the play-along, doesn't seem to pull up the pointer finger flat. It seems that the fingers stay curled as in a down strum. Help me Obi Wan a Plazi...you're my only hope.

You are remarkable. Thank you for sharing your story. I am so proud of you ❤️
Uke was my COVID Lockdown hobby I picked up! It's such a fun instrument also, so that helps with the ADHD 😁

So happy to be able to join you❣️
@TELEGRAM•👉BernadetteTeaches What does this mean?
If I can master playing and singing just one of these songs, I'll be happy. 🥰
Thank you so much. I stopped playing for a while and have struggled to get back to where I was. Today's lesson has done the trick. I was able to keep up and play with you! and I feel my anxiety leaving and the confidence I had before returning. 💜

I’d love your insight on the picking pattern before the bridge! I can’t seem to nail that part 😂
This must really be a song Uke should know because I heard local musician Shelby Olive play it on Ukulele at her show Wednesday night in Ohio!
Thank You🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello from British Columbia Canada
🇨🇦👋👍♥️🌲🌲🧘♀️🌲🌲🔥🐇👠
When is Uke Con 2023 happening this year? I would love to go! 🎉
Hi Bernadette
Well glad to see you are doing another 30 day challenge, seems ages since the last one.
Are any of the songs different from the challenges we did before.
Wishies from Thelma ( South Wales u.k)
Along with Somewhere Over the Rainbow, one of the most popular Uke songs 💯
I'm not very familiar with this song besides hearing it here and there in movies but other than that I don't know much about it. Time to learn!
I love the way you play
I want to ask also if you have worship song like here I am to worship I can easily play and follow you so quick
I appreciate the way you share your time with us all
God bless always

my brain is working OT trying to learn this lmao
Hi can't find the chord sheet on your you tube channel?
What is the tempo to aim for? I would like to use a metronome to work on getting up to speed, but I'm not sure what speed to work up to.
Can i have the pdf pls 😢
so is there some place we are supposed to officially sign up?!
Hi my name is kain weekes and I was wondering if you could sing me a song called Jessie the yodelling cowgirl I really love cowgirls and skirt please

I was wondering the same thing after watching Abby! I need help on the quicker speed. She makes the strumming look so easy.
Is the printable only for patrons?
The printable is a public post on my patreon page and is 100% free!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I can see You are my sunshine but not riptide :/
Play some twenty one pilots songs 😭😭
Great tutorial! Wish you would have put it all together at the end though ;(
She included in her description a play and sing along of this song from her friend she partnered with for the challenge! Look it out! It’s awesome!
@@MM-fr3dg oh ok thanks!!
What is your facebook page for Ukulele players?
Search Ukelandia you will find the group
Thanks, but could you please play it through at the start for those who don't know the song.
👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
my main problem is switching notes
I'm sorry. Your mic sounds a little muted. I'm having a little difficulty making out what you're saying. Or maybe it's my hearing ?
The problem is with my headphones, my bad !
I panicked for a second 😂
You sound is not as good as it should be
