I searched high and low to find how to play this song the original way and for someone to explain it so I could get it. Thank you for being that person! Loved this tutorial!
remember to be realistic - you'll have to do a bit of work whichever method you use for learning to play the uke I've been researching into teaching yourself uke and found an awesome resource at Arthurs Uke Blog (check it out on google)
That fingerpicking is so gorgeous. I love your progressive teaching. All the way from single strum to elaborate fingerpicking in a few minutes' time! Thank you.
I agree with everyone that you are a gifted teacher who makes difficult and complex playing accessible even to relative beginners. I have loved this song ever since of course watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. Never thought I would be able to play it one day. Wonder if you could do a tutorial one day on how you extract the chords and strum patterns from a song. It's so hard to imagine myself saying, "yeah that was an Em6 and that other one was C# dim."
Thank you so, so much Cynthia!!!❤❤❤❤❤ I have been practicing this song to help entertain a dear 96-year-old family friend who just had his right leg amputated, and he sobbed when I played for him yesterday ❤❤❤
Of all the tutorial channel I watched on TH-cam, yours is the most easy to follow; and not only do I love your lessons, I am big on your voice too. It's so calming and soothing. Thank you Cynthia for doing what you are doing
I'm getting a ukelele for my birthday in a couple weeks or so, I play guitar a bit already so hope I'll pick it up a little quicker than starting from scratch. Your tutorials are really well laid out and you have a lovely voice. I'm enjoying just watching, I can't wait to start learning.
Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me

You are so talented, and a great teacher! Thank you so much
Aloha Cynthia, I know this is a tremendously old video but I just want to thank you for such great tutorials. I keep coming across your videos every time I want to learn how to do more than strum for a song. Thank you!
YES!!! After so much searching for a suitable version for Ukulele with a decent picking, I finally found it! You've been thanked by so many views and subscribers, but thanks again!
You made it so easy for me to follow your finger picking techniques! Im really having a hard time when it comes to finger picking. Thanks to your videos! You are awesome! ❤
Cynthia you so marvelously break down your tutorials and give me -a total beginner- hope that one day I may be able to play this beautiful song. Thank you for your tips and step by step guides and for sharing aloha with the world =)
thank you so much for the video! I am still a beginner and need more practice on this piece but it did help me greatly! Moonriver is my ultimate goal for now and I can't wait to play it with no mistakes:)
I really like your tutorial. It not only teach to play a song also in different ways for beginner and advanced.Thank you so much and wish you a good day.
Alternative beginner strum is to pluck the C string instead of g. Gives a lot more melody (since a lot more notes change there) and a bit of bass, so to speak, to the standard high g tuning. Absolutely beautiful and great tutorial again :)
I've been a guitarist for 55 years and picked up a kooky uke last year and I'm hooked!!! What a wonderful instrument and what a wonderful tutor you are Cynthia. Trouble is I'm a rubbish vocalist. Fancy moving over to Yorkshire UK Cynthia?
I'm so ecstatic to have found your channel! I'm a complete beginner to ukulele but I can't stand when I do a basic tutorial and the sound is off because the chords are too simple. Your chords are perfect and I love the challenge. (I'm also more into fingerpicking than strumming so I'm so glad you gave that option) Your channel also happens to have so many of the songs on my list of songs to learn. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your awesome content. I'm def joining your patreon to help support and maybe get a Space Oddity tutorial that I saw you performed in another video.
OK, perfect for filling in the hours of Pandemic Isolation. Thanks, Cynthia for helping to get through this, BTW my ukelele will be here in a few days.
Hi Cynthia , first of all thanks for everything. I learned how to play less than two weeks, you're the best ukulele teacher on youtube ! I need to ask you a question , I can't find all the chords I want especially rock songs and I couldn't find The Smith's songs. Is there anyway that we can convert guitar chords to ukulele chords. Can you make a tutorial about it? Thank you! From İstanbul with love
really help me to play by myself. today is first Uklelle playing but enjoyed very much. now i can play this song beautifully. thanks lots. 5 mins is good for everyday
Hi Cynthia, I love your super tutorials! Great stuff!! I haven't a ukulele yet, but plan to get one soon to learn to play. Many thanks. BTW, I've been following your amazing tutorials for the past week, so I do still have a lot of your tutorials to get through, since you first posted on TH-cam. 💚💚
I've been looking for a decent site to learn, though I have quite a few Uku in my collection, I just haven't been able to get around learning to play properly!! Now after finding this channel I'm sold!! Thanks
How is it you can you play the chords, give instructions before playing that chord, sing so well, strum, pick,count, smile and stay looking so pretty, calm. So very well done!
I've been watching this Friday/Saturday to learn it and today, at work, I caught myself signing "[...] somedaaayyy barbeeseveeeen" *facepalm*. It's one of my favourite to play so far, thank you do much for making those!
Saw your video because of a Shawn Bolz video. Two things I would like to say. 1) the Ukulele should be highlighted by Bethel Music 2) Would like some prayers for my Mom. (healing from parkinson's) 2a) Great video ! : )
You are my inspiration ;) you are great teacher i wanna meet you one day ! This is my favourite song ! Though your vibrato is so amazing so so so amazing God bless you :)
Cynthia, you are, without a doubt, the best most positive uku teacher out there. I’m a definite beginner, but with your help, I’m so confident. Thank you.
I recently was hit with the urge to learn ukulele so I'm SO glad for your channel. thank you so much for all your great content! you're an excellent teach and the way you structure your videos is so great!
Dear Cynthia, thank you so much for sharing your love of music with us. You are really a remarkable teacher. This tutorial has been so helpful. Sending Light your way. ✨🙏🏼💫
Trying to learn this in Gambia as a Volunteer Medic,bringing my Uke and by far you are the best teacher ! Thank you for giving me a chance to learn a new skill at my age and making it fun to learn .Keep teaching your methods are fresh air!!

Love your voice, even when you are not singing.
usernamemykel I agree. it's so calming and relaxing to hear.

I consider Johnny Mercer to be the best lyricist ever and I have been singing for 77 years!
Wow!!!!
You’re Grunkle...

Loving the "All right, you made it!" at 13:02. Pretty much exactly how I felt... that and my fingers about to fall off! Brilliant tutorial once again.
There is a Guardian Angel for everyone you Know!!! Thank you for all your help !!!

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me
You are so talented, and a great teacher! Thank you so much

Thanks for this tutorial. Your chord fingering cues are very helpful.

She's pretty incredible. I even think my heart rate slows down when I watch her videos!!!
Her voice itself is music... i don't have that :(
Saw your video because of a Shawn Bolz video.
Two things I would like to say.
1) the Ukulele should be highlighted by Bethel Music
2) Would like some prayers for my Mom. (healing from parkinson's)
2a) Great video ! : )
Sending healing to your Mom xx
