I've owned this ukulele for 8 years and have never played music. Watching through this 10 minute video and I am making MUSIC! Thank you for this awesome lesson :)
I just bought a ukulele and it arrived today. I watched someone else's beginner ukulele video, couldn't figure it out, and I felt dumb. But then I watched yours, and you explained everything so well, and made it so much easier. You encouraged me. I learned the 3 chords, have been practicing, and having so much fun! Thank you so much! You Rock!
I used to be in guitar lessons when I was a kiddo and really was fond of the smallish size of them (I played a 3/4 guitar, though I stopped when I left that school) and recently picked up a tenor ukulele. I'm a study-holic and just graduated school so I'm hoping that this will scratch that "learning" itch while also being good for my well-being and super fun to learn! This was a great first lesson, thank you!
I am so glad I just found your video. I am teaching a group ukulele class after school. I will add this to my class playlist. I think you are a great teacher!
It’s been well over twelve years that I first saw a Marty teaches you how to play video which was a guitar I’m yours tutorial video And this man after all this time has the same charm and is still an excellent teacher 👨🏫 Thank you Marty 🙏🙏
I'm primarily a guitar player, but bought a ukulele about a year ago, and find it great to just unwind!! Great fun, and a nice different sound to play with!! Also fairly easy for anybody to play, and if you already have experience with guitar, dead easy to get started!! Gove it a try, you will love it!! 😊😊
@@RC32Smiths01 my mistake, your last 2 words led me to believe you were saying it was something you had heard, but you meant you believe through experience!! 😊😊
Hey at 40 years old I picked up a Brunswick tenor Uke , loved it at 50 I moved one to the baritone Uke Pono, now at sixty I now play a Furch ga guitar how time flys , great way to start playing a stringed instrument ............
I know this isn’t a guitar video, but I just want to say thank you because you have taught me almost 100 songs. Your like the worlds guitar teacher and you deserve millions of views. Thank you so much I’ve really been able to take off with guitar thanks to you
I bought myself a ukulele earlier this year. A fabulous and very fun musical instrument. A great purchase. The transition from guitar to ukulele was very easy. After a couple of hours I was flying on it.
can i just say... this was the best lesson i have ever had! thank you so much! going to practice this one and rewatch. cant wait for the next videos and lessons!
Perfect. I already suck at guitar so I'll add this to my repertoire of suckage. Bought one a few weeks ago and it's like learning a new language. Pleased you've put this up. Thanks Marty.
I learned guitar from Marty 10+ years ago on TH-cam and I’m back now to learn from the best so I can get my daughter started on the uke. Thanks Marty, I can’t say enough how much of an impact music has had on my life.
I just bought an Ibanez UICT10-BK Ukulele and I am on the search for beginner lessons since I know nothing about playing it. I chose a Uke due to my very small hands and short arms and fingers and always wanted to learn how to play guitar, but I feel that a uke would be more comfortable for me to play due to my size. Thank you for your videos!
been playing uke for 5 years still wondering how I got here from a ukulele underground play along. But I love your videos and use them to try to relearn guitar but hey it's finally a video where I know how to play the chords. Maybe that's why I ditched my guitar for my uke in 8th grade lol.
Bought my wife a ukulele (I play guitar) for Christmas and showed her this video...you now have a new fan in her! She’s up and strumming! I’m holding you to that free Mai tai! (I’ll buy the next round lol) Thanks Marty! Great Video! Got me playing it too...🎸🔊🎶🤘
Thank you for branching out! George Harrison loved the uke! For your guitar players, the uke chords are a fifth away from the guitar chord; essentially, a C on uke would be a G on guitar, C-D-E-F-G, the form for the F chord is the C chord on guitar. F-G-A-B-C. The bottom string on guitar; D G B E. Or, the uke chord is the fourth from the guitar chord. C on uke is the G form on guitar. G-A-B-C. The Soprano Uke is tuned G C A E.
I am vacationing in Hawaii right now and considering buying a ukulele while I'm here, thank you so much for this video ....I've been a musician for 35 years mostly bass guitar also play rhythm guitar and some lead and have been recording in my home studio I want write a song about my Hawaiian vacation on the Ukulele
I just got my first uke a couple weeks ago. I immediately looked up Beatles songs. So much fun. And it’s cool to play that for a few weeks and pick up the guitar again. My playing is different on guitar now.
@@strawberry_eli4704 oh i’m a girl too, i just commented this because the popular girls were only popular because they could play the uke and i wanted to be popular too 😆 i forgot about this comment but yeah i don’t really judge people for things they like
First of all Marty, I have used your guitar videos for years and they have taught me a lot. Now I am going to learn the ukulele, and where better to start but on your channel. That little bit you did was reminiscent of Imagine by John Lennon.👍👍👍
i bought one today from Steves Music in Toronto. I immediately turned to you Sir Marty. You sassy individual with the middle finger! lol. thanks for all the Radiohead lessons on guitar
I think this is the first ukulele channel with lessons, and the instructor actually knows how to pronounce it... not "you-ka-lay-lee"... but "oo-koo-lay-lay"... thank you, at last. Carry on, Marty. I got KALA soprano - which needed some intonation help - and, thanks to watching a luthier channel - was able to fix myself. Mahalo.
Hey Marty! Please can you upload more Ukelele content!? I find playing the ukelele quite hard and I love how you teach. I need more! thank you for the video!
~Marty....this is what I have been waiting for....have your guitar DVD's & simply love the way you teach me. Then picked up a beautiful ukulele & simply love it. Glad to see you teaching us this. Love you Marty🙂
This really helped! I didn’t even know how to strum correctly until I watched this video. I still have a bit of trouble on how much I should press on each string but I’ll get the hang of it.
Just gave myself a ukulele (can't stop saying it either LOL) and you have now taught me to tune and play a little - I suck, fo now - but this is fun!! Thanks, Marty Music!
Nice video, Marty. I come from years of playing guitar and am having a hard time transitioning to the traditional way of strumming with the index finger. I'll keep trying, but it's like reprogramming the hand and brain. I like using a felt pick, or even a rubber pick, as you don't get as much slapping sound on the nylon strings as you do with a regular plastic pick. Mahalo!
Okay Marty Schwartz is my hero. He makes playing feel so fun, wish I could meet him in person. Thanks for a great video Marty and I literally laughed out loud... more than once!!!!
Thanks so much for doing Ukulele videos. I had stopped learning as I couldn’t find any good tutorials but yours are awesome, and I’m back playing the Ukulele 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My daughter has a hand problem so had to mirror everything and play left handed. Because of that i now play right handed on a left handed ukulele tuning (i switched all the chords upside down).
You are the real deal, Marty! I was looking for you for a while, I had subscribed to your channel then my phone broke. I was learning guitar 🎸. Wow then I got myself an Ukelele, finding you here too 👍🙏👏. Thanks a lot.
Hey Marty so excited for this series. I started playing guitar through your videos a little over a year and a half ago so excited to take on this little guy with you. Keep up the great content!!
I ordered my Ukulele yesterday 4/09/22. I should have it sometime this coming week. I am so excited! I love the sound of these instruments. It is a tenor Ukulele made by Donner. I guarantee I will not be able to put it down. Great lesson. Do you have any more Ukulele lessons?
Hello Marty, I really love your guitar guidance and lesson content. I don't know if you have done any beginners on how to play the Baritone ukulele. Yahweh bless you sir.
Going back and forth from Guitar too the Ukulele does mess with your chord brain chart. It’s a fun little instrument and easy too take anywhere. I’ve a tiny Fender and a real nice handmade beauty made in Canada I think . Well either in the USA or Canada and it sounds awesome. The Fender for $120 is good enough too start. Have fun somewhere over the rainbow…
What a shame you stopped on giving the ukulele lessons I swear at the time I was just starting to play the uke under drs. Orders music therapy to help with memory loss bit turned out I enjoyed it,and your lesson was fun and the first time I sounded like I was playing music, it was one of the best feelings I've had ever and I was53at the time. Damn shame ,most of the other teachers on here bore me.
*plays Smoke On The Water on ukulele*
How do you do thet no bass strings
lol i was just doing that
If you're really, really good.....Inna Gadda Da Vida!

I've owned this ukulele for 8 years and have never played music. Watching through this 10 minute video and I am making MUSIC! Thank you for this awesome lesson :)

Well how did it go :)
Only one ukulele lesson!? Can we have more, please? My 8-year-old daughter really enjoyed the first lesson but we're ready for more.

This certainly makes me want to pick up the ukelele! It really is a fun and relaxing instrument I believe!

@@scottiethegreat74 Ahh I own a Ukelele, and I absolutely agree! Really fun instrument that someone who plays guitar should definitely pick up!
@@RC32Smiths01 my mistake, your last 2 words led me to believe you were saying it was something you had heard, but you meant you believe through experience!! 😊😊
@@scottiethegreat74 Ahhh no worries man haha. Definitely a great and amazing instrument indeed!
@@scottiethegreat74 absolutely agree. Played guitar for 12 years and just picked up the ukelele and I have miles more fun with the Uke.

Excellent tutorial. I've been playing bass for over 30 years and this one lesson shows me how to create some basic chords and switch between them.
I learned guitar from Marty 10+ years ago on TH-cam and I’m back now to learn from the best so I can get my daughter started on the uke. Thanks Marty, I can’t say enough how much of an impact music has had on my life.

I've learned more in this one lesson than I have in my years for trying to learn. U rock!!!!

Omg ty so much! I just got one today for my 66th birthday and thanks to you I'm learning already! ❤

4:32 was i the only one who heard “still dre” by snoop dogg and dre😫😂😫😂
If you play Ukulele we actually did a tutorial for Still Dre, if you search Still Dre - Tenthumbs you'll find it. Rock on dude!
For a split second I thought that's the bait and "Still Dre" will kick in full throttle :D

Thanks @Marty Music for adding ukulele lessons!
4 years later and he doesn't have a 2nd lesson😊
AMAZING LESSON!!! I’ll give a proper shout out when I make it BIG!!!😊🎉
Best beginner lesson I have seen. Please make beginner lesson 2.
Loved my first lesson! Thanks for not talking my head off like the others, you get right to it!
I sometimes struggle with my arm stopping my strumming. I am soooooo happy that you use a pick
my first time playing - opened the box, tuned it - jumped here. Thank you for showing me an understandable practice. WOOT!! I made moooosic!!
Please do a lesson on this old guitar. I just got good at finger picking and I really want to learn this
I am vacationing in Hawaii right now and considering buying a ukulele while I'm here, thank you so much for this video ....I've been a musician for 35 years mostly bass guitar also play rhythm guitar and some lead and have been recording in my home studio I want write a song about my Hawaiian vacation on the Ukulele

Yes more uke stuff please. Your guitar playing is unbelievable.
Random girl in my school: yeah I’m something of a musician myself I can play 2 chords on ukulele
it's been a year now, did she stopped doing that or nah?
Same
So how about we don't shame girls or anyone for that matter for liking things?
@@strawberry_eli4704 oh i’m a girl too, i just commented this because the popular girls were only popular because they could play the uke and i wanted to be popular too 😆 i forgot about this comment but yeah i don’t really judge people for things they like
I got my Kala ukelele today, and must say these videos really helped me learn it, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
First of all Marty, I have used your guitar videos for years and they have taught me a lot. Now I am going to learn the ukulele, and where better to start but on your channel. That little bit you did was reminiscent of Imagine by John Lennon.👍👍👍
I'm barely starting today with ukelele. I find this very helpful!!
nobody:
literally nobody:
me: watching this eating weetabix without owning a ukulele
Oh 😂
Spend $100 on a concert or tenor ukulele get a tuner on your phone.
It’ll change your life 😃
@@radrob13 I got mine for 49$ its a pretty decent uke for a beginner Ill give a link if anybodys intrested in the one I got
~Get a nice uku & it will bring more happiness 😊
I thought you were going to say without milk! Hahaha I was fractionally disgusted!
I’ve had one for two years and have never found a good video to watch. YOU ARE SOO AMAZING TYSM!!
i bought one today from Steves Music in Toronto. I immediately turned to you Sir Marty. You sassy individual with the middle finger! lol. thanks for all the Radiohead lessons on guitar
This is a great tutorial! We would love it if you would do more tutorials for ukulele.
As a Spanish speaker, I love your "spanish-ish" (I guess) pronunciation of the word ukelele!! Your lesson is awesome as well.
I think this is the first ukulele channel with lessons, and the instructor actually knows how to pronounce it... not "you-ka-lay-lee"... but "oo-koo-lay-lay"... thank you, at last.
Carry on, Marty. I got KALA soprano - which needed some intonation help - and, thanks to watching a luthier channel - was able to fix myself. Mahalo.
Hey Marty! Please can you upload more Ukelele content!? I find playing the ukelele quite hard and I love how you teach. I need more! thank you for the video!
OH MY GOD YES
Thank you Marty!
Your channel have 1.6 millions of subscribers & yet you listen to your fans.
You're amazing.
~Marty....this is what I have been waiting for....have your guitar DVD's & simply love the way you teach me. Then picked up a beautiful ukulele & simply love it. Glad to see you teaching us this. Love you Marty🙂
~Yes...just texted Marty...same thing. I have all his guitar dvds
This really helped! I didn’t even know how to strum correctly until I watched this video. I still have a bit of trouble on how much I should press on each string but I’ll get the hang of it.
You apply enough pressure to let the string ring and not buzz.
I never had an Ukulele but after watching your video I am buying one soon. When I do I will be back to watch you r tutorials.
thank you..
Just gave myself a ukulele (can't stop saying it either LOL) and you have now taught me to tune and play a little - I suck, fo now - but this is fun!! Thanks, Marty Music!
I am 8 and I just got my Ukelele Nov 20th I am so excited for you to teach ME. THANK YOU!
Nice video, Marty. I come from years of playing guitar and am having a hard time transitioning to the traditional way of strumming with the index finger.

I like using a felt pick, or even a rubber pick, as you don't get as much slapping sound on the nylon strings as you do with a regular plastic pick. Mahalo!
Marty enjoyed your lesson, just ordered my Ukulele can’t wait to continue my lessons with you. You make the lesion easy and FUN. Thanks
Okay Marty Schwartz is my hero. He makes playing feel so fun, wish I could meet him in person. Thanks for a great video Marty and I literally laughed out loud... more than once!!!!
Thanks so much for doing Ukulele videos. I had stopped learning as I couldn’t find any good tutorials but yours are awesome, and I’m back playing the Ukulele 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very good tutorial. Not too fast and the right amount of info. Good for kids too
Hey Marty, thanks for the uke lesson. Appreciate it. Mine has been in the closet a long time since I have not had time to learn the chords yet.
~Cannot believe I came across this uk lesson with mam who teaches me guitar....thank you Marty.
My daughter has a hand problem so had to mirror everything and play left handed.
Because of that i now play right handed on a left handed ukulele tuning (i switched all the chords upside down).
My next Uke will be a Orangewood Tenor. Hella pretty 😍
I'm finally allowed to play the uke now! Thanks Marty
Honestly, you’re such a good teacher. Thank you. You helped me learn bass as well.
You are the real deal, Marty! I was looking for you for a while, I had subscribed to your channel then my phone broke. I was learning guitar 🎸. Wow then I got myself an Ukelele, finding you here too 👍🙏👏. Thanks a lot.
