A concert one, or specifically s fender zuma concert ukulele :> Was a bit pricier than what I think most people just starting ukulele would choose, but it sounds and looks great, haven't really got any regrets ^^
Ok. I've been practicing the uke for a week now. I'm not frustrated by my slow progression, since I already expected that, but I wanted to study smart. I just watched 3 of your videos and your tips are gold! Thanks!
c00kie.subliminals hey man I just wanted to see if he kept practicing, I don’t think you would normally say you’re gonna update we were just interested.
I’m seventy four and in lockdown.So decided to do something different and sent off for a uke.Fingers are a bit stiff etc and was finding A to G nightmarish but your tutorial helps a lot.Will keep on trying lol.
I realize this was posted a few years ago, but i had to comment. I tried to start learning a couple of years ago and got frustrated with chord transitions and got busy at work. I'm 53 and have never played an instrument and was trying to learn on my own because I've been told how easy it by several people. I've tried to pick it up another time, which resulted in the same frustration. I stumbled upon a neighbor that's part of a community uke group, which I've joined. So I've started learning again. I practice daily, and I am improving but still struggling with transitions. I was so happy to find this video. Your pointers make so much sense. It will be part of my daily practice going forward. I'm pretty excited about my chances for success. Thank you so much.
Super helpful. Thank you!!!! Pulling my fingers off and reforming each chord was getting me nowhere. You rock for explaining the simple stuff us beginners just don't think about and yet is so basic that experienced friends never think to tell you. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I can't figure out what was wrong every time i try to change chords but after watching this i realize that i take my hands off the uke too much when changing chords. This really helps!
Your tutorial of changing chords not only thought me on changing chords but also on bringing change in my life. I can not change how the chords are just like i cannot change other people but i can change myself. By making the transition fast and smooth i can change my life for the better. Just like you said HAVE PATIENCE. Thank you.
Elise thank you so much for the advice!!! I just started ukulele and I really appreciate it!!! Thank you!! Also you were part of the reason I wanted to learn ukulele! I just thought it was so cool and fun and it looked easy to learn!
Tysm! I watched this video when I was just starting ukulele and about a week later, I got it! I’ve been playing ukulele for 3 months now and without i probably wouldn’t be able to switch chords! Ty
Really helpful got a learner uku about 10 months ago but never played but watching your vids I sayed practice hard to be as good and am to g was really hard for me so thank you so much
Thank you so much for this. I'm a beginner and I have been struggling with the transition from c to g..and within watching this and a few times it's coming a lot easier.
I know you get these comments constantly but this has really helped me. I felt frustred after couple days (I know, not much time but still) because other teachers / tutorials started with "press at once". So the "attack the next chord from the skies" was the approach. But this one by one, I am already much much faster after one day. I understand there is a limit but eventually I know it will switch to all at once, already some fingers land at the same time in some chords. The key is that this is much more approachable to practice. You start slow and get faster and more precise after 10, 100, 500.. etc. chord changes. Thank you
Hi I have just picked up Banjo/Ukulele. Your videos are a great help to my learning an instrument. You have inspired me not to give up. To keep going so big Thank You.
When i bought my ukulele i already knew this chanel that's why i learn how to play it tnx elise for all of those tutorials and covers i really inspires me to play ukulele
oh! thanks! i’ve never thought of it that way actually. i can transition from one chord to another kinda quickly, but i always pull off my fingers from the frets! so this helps a lot actually.
When I first played ukulele, it was in music class. We learnt 3 songs; Don't tear my heart, In the jungle and another one I don't remember. I had a broken arm so i failed miserably. My music teach just said- copy of the board and just play. I learnt nothing
Thank you so much for this video...solid advice. I was already figuring this out for some transitions, but I needed some reminding for those that were frustrating me. Practice, practice, practice! Already improving. You are adorable and I enjoy your channel. Thanks again!
Elise, I'd like to thank you so much! I got an Ukulele for Christmas, and I was worried i wouldn't learn it. But then I stumbled upon you. Thanks to you, it's going really smoothly! Also, you are an amazing girl, don't mind the haters, they are just jealous of your awesome singing voice and your talent for playing! Keep this up, I say you will be famous in the future! 💖
I don't have my uke yet but i am getting mine tomorrow so i have been watching your tutorials so I know some chords and how to transition between chords
Hey!!Elise😘....m a starter ukulele player...got a cute little uke n been practicing for lyk 2 days...n just watched ur videos ..thn I started feelin lyk..hey girl u can also do d tricky progression thing after doin a lot of practice..

Newbie, was cruising through the chords (Am, F, G, C, G7, then even D, Em)...but HIT A BRICK WALL on Dm7 and E7 (Imagine by John Lennon). Fingers literally would not do it while playing. This video helped so much so quickly- many thanks!
I’m really glad that I found your tutorials, I’ve learned a lot from it, you’ve given me hope to try to play again and now I’m always looking out to your videos. Thank you so much for this! continue inspiring others.
I am child and i started ukulele and i really like ot its awsome the ukuleel is what i needed i start practicing and i am trying even leran a short music,🤩
I'm a Keyboard player and I can understand this video, I don't know SONGS but when I do play fast I go for Chord inversions or I'll play 1 note one the Bass and improv on the Melody (it's hard to explain) I been playing for over 10 years just vibing out to some jams, Keyboards is easy for me! I play intense chord changes when I jamming.
