      @TheUkuleleTeacher For now some reason my ukulele won't hammer on. I strum the note. And then drop my finger where it belongs and it's just mute. Any advice on how to fix this?

    You explained the beginning really well, but when you got to the picking but, it made no sense and I think you should have gone through it or actually showed us what your fingers were doing

    • @blahkabelison2234
      @blahkabelison2234 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      It's pretty simple.
      On the third (C) string, keep your index finger on the second fret for the whole plucky bit.
      Pluck the C string once while it's fretted, and then right after while its still kinda ringing, you smack your ring finger onto the fourth fret of the same string
      (If you don't know how to hammer-on, you might want to look it up since I'm definitely not doing a good job explaining it)
      After that, pluck the second (E) string and then use your middle finger (because your index and ring finger should still be where they were) to hammer onto the third fret of the same string.
      Then remove your middle and ring fingers and pluck the C string again, and then an open E string. Just do that whole thing a few times :P

      for me there was never really anything that could teach me to do it. it took me a while, you need to learn to strum pattern and the chord progression really well, then be able to play both with talking or being distracted, then learn the lyrics

    Hey, trying not to sound like a douche here, but this isn't the right way to play (Well, how Vance play's it)
    He pretty much tunes it all the way down to the bottom 4 strings of a standard guitar tuning (From top string of ukulele: D, G, B, E) and plays Am, G, C in the form of a guitar. (Thats for live performance. For Recorded version, it's up a fret)
    So for Am:
    Index on first fret second string (B) middle finger on second fret top string (D) and Ring finger just underneath your middle finger second fret on third string (G).
    G
    Just the 3rd fret Bottom string (E)
    And C
    Index finger back on first fret second string (B) and middle finger on second fret top string (D)
    So, get the chords of a guitar, and cut out the top 2 strings of it (Since the Ukulele has 4 strings instead of 6)
    Same Pattern and everything, just tuning and chords. If you hear the chords of the song, you can tell the chords of the song don't seem to fit the chords on the video

    Anybody watching this, you should know that the key of C is not the key of the song. If you are playing along and you are wondering why it doesn't sound right it is because Vance plays it in the key of C#. Just a little bit of clarity if you are confused. The only problem is with C# you need all barre chords. If you want to learn it in the same key as Vance check us out, if you are cool with it not sounding like the recording this is an excellent video that break down a nice simple version.

      Try sliding your middle finger from Am down to the 0200. And while you're playing Am, keep your index finger ready to move to 0002, and your fourth finger to 0030. Hopefully this will help!

    • @DanceVideo411
      @DanceVideo411 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      The best way to learn how to go from Am to G is to just practice playing Am and then going to G. Just practice strumming A once and then G once and just go back and forth until it becomes natural :) Hope that helps

      There's a shallower learning curve than the guitar, once you start learning you can play some tunes within just a few minutes, but it's still an instrument, and it's plenty challenging to get good at it, just like any instrument (apart from like the kazoo or something) It shouldn't be too difficult to transition to it from a guitar though, although if you're used to using a pick, getting used to strumming without one could be challenging, since you don't really use a pick with a uke

      I know this is like a month later comment, but it's all about practising the instrument part. You try to focus on the strumming, and the singing at the same time. You just need to practise that strumming pattern so much that you don't even need to think twice before singing. Try this from scratch:
      1. Practise that strumming pattern
      2. Then when you don't have too much trouble the strumming pattern, practise switching chords while keeping the strumming pattern at the same pace.
      3. When you're comfortable with that, play it along with the song a couple times
      4. Hum with the song as you play it
      5. Hum without the song as you play it
      6. By then, you should have the strumming pattern glued to your head.
      7. Try singing.
      Obviously this isn't going to happen in the space of a day. It took me at least a week to practise Riptide.
      Also, this pretty much helps with any song

    This is really good! I'm starting to play this song quicker and better. My only problem is the picking that's truly confusing me. Maybe you could do a lesson on it (Or maybe you already have I just haven't seen it...😕) Anyways, thanks so much for the tutorial I'd like to see more!!!!!!

    Thank you so very much for making this video. We learned this song in music class on the ukulele in 3rd grade (now I’m in 6th grade) and I forgot it by now. I was the only one who actually played to correctly. I actually have a ukulele but I don’t have it tuned. But thank the lord that you have a tuning video which I can watch!

    ANNOUNCEMENT.
    To all the people asking for help on the plucking and the G chord. Just practice. Don't try to play the song at first. Do a 100 hammer ons every day. And the chord progression Am-G-C 100 times every day, and before you know it you will sound great!

    every beginner whos starting with this- try to play a little bit of Hakuna Matata first, its what I started with and it makes the songs you actually wanna learn 10x easier bc its an easy yet complicated song. Good Luck!

    G is an easy chord if you think about it. it's literally the same shape as a D chord on guitar.
