You make uke so much more fun to learn. I love learning instruments but I get so unmotivated and frustrated when I don't have anything perfected to show off. Your videos are so easy to understand and motivating! Thank you so much!
This whole piece is beautiful I would love to see a music video of just the whole thing played together!! This made me puck up my uke again after many months. Thank you for the inspiration ♡
Thank you so much! I've been loving this beautiful piece of music. Gorgeous and soothing to play. Congratulations on becoming a father! What an adorable baby!
Hi Marco, congrats on becoming father. Be safe and healthy and enjoy every moment with him :) Thank you so much for this video and I admire your way of teaching, step by step. It's encouraging and fun. Hopefully, I will get to the state I can play the whole song at once. Beautiful tunes. Thanks.
Man, I love to play my Uke, I can spend hours and hours. I think, it's one of the loveliest instruments in the world. And you are such great musician. Usually, when I watch a tutorial, I use to stop it, just to try, what ive just seen. But in your case, I'm sitting there, watch the hole video and injoy your lovely playing. Here and there with my mouth open, for it's such a hard work for me and it looks amazing easy, when you play it. Right this is the reason, why I wanted to start the uke. To play the strumming rhythm and the melody at fhe same time, so listners can hear two instruments playing. I love, what you do and I thank you for time and your work, sharing your knowledge and your experience. If I could just find a teacher like you, down here in Germany... 😂 By the way... Congratulations for becoming a dad 🎉, my youngest son is 18 months 🙈 what a great time that is. Best of luck!
I recently discovered your channel and am absolutely loving it. I’ve spent about 10 minutes a day with you for the past week and have learned so much! Thank you:)
Awwwww mate. I'm so glad I found you. This tutorial is awesome. I just wanna learn everything you're showing. But I need to slow myself down. I'm still a beginner so need to practice section by section. Video by video.
This is great! I am actually starting to pick it up pretty quick. Strumming the chords by themselves is fun, but the alternating picking and hammer on/off adds a lot more depth. Thanks!!
This is the type of music I want to play. I don’t want to play popular songs, or anything like that. Music like this. That’s what I love. Is this possible on the ukulele? Or should I get a guitar?
This is great Marco - been trying to figure this out since your Part 1 video :) Great instruction and explanation as always and this so fun to play. Wanted to comment about that D chord, my fingers are too big (or my ukulele too small) to cram all three fingers in there to do the hammer on pull off successfully. I did discover I could accomplish the sound by using my middle finger to get both strings 2 and 3 together and could do that hammer on pull off with my ring finger. Seems to work. Thanks again.
Absolutely. It’s a little unconventional but if it works for you, go for it. Also try to use finger 2 and 3 and do the hammer on and pull off with the little finger.
The very moment when you learn English, and you are completely fond of music. Especially playing the ukulele. it's so cool. It happens that in Russian you will not find such educational channels about the ukulele. Heee:>
@@reginarodrigues5890 but if u want the core basics...then learn chords and get used to the instrument with songs and music theories and simple fingerpickings...
I am very lucky because I found this channel! What a beautiful sound and great tips! Subscribed with many thanks. I'm just wondering what kind of mic you use because other video sounds like mummy.
Hi Marco, first off, congratulations on the birth of your baby. My question to you is do you use a specific string on your ukulele? I recently decided after watching your video to learn to play. But I cannot match your sound. Do I need a more “expensive “instrument? I am trying tenors but either sound like a guitar or a cat. Any help welcomed.
Hi, if you can go to a music store they should be able to help you out. The type of wood matters, as well as the string brand. Aquila strings are always a nice go to.
It looks to me like Marco is using Aquila Nylgut strings (which are pretty common). I would say the sweet sound is largely a product of his excellent finger position when fretting. Getting your fingers right up behind those fret wires makes a big difference in how clean the notes sound. Tone woods do play a role. It doesn't mean it has to be super expensive, but a solid top and wood choices can affect the sound, projection, and sustain. You might want to listen to a few woods known for being sweet sounding and different from guitars. Acacia and mango might appeal to you. A nice solid mahogany top can be very warm and wonderful too.
Hi Nigel. To be honest (and I don’t mean to sound like someone cool) I bought this uke in 2019 and I never changed the strings so I don’t know which brand I am currently playing. Regarding the tone. The plucking and fretting hand make a huge difference in how your ukulele sounds. If you are a beginner the chances are that you are still learning so give yourself a little bit of time. Nylon strings are amazing and can provide a huge range of dynamics and timbre (way more than steel strings). However, they work a lot like a white canvas. It’s your hand doing the painting and deciding the color. Good news, you already figured that out so keep playing and practicing and focus a lot on how you pluck the strings. Once you can get the best possible tone out of your (I presume) cheap ukulele, go try a better one. I hope this helps.
@@MarcoCirilloUkulele thank you for your help Marco. I will keep listening and being inspired by your video’s. I will keep strangling the cat until it sounds like you. 😂 Happy Easter to you and your family.
this is so good! I just started playing uke and have most of part 1 down. Now i'm trying part 2 and it doesn't sound right with my low G. any advice on a modification for a low G tenor?
Hi! i hope you respond to this but i have a question about your ukulele. is your ukulele a baritone or a concert? also when i try to do the "hammer on" technique it feels like you cant hear it that much unlike you, you do it with ease and you can hear it loud and clear or maybe its because of your sweet microphone? not sure. im a begginer so i shouldn't expect much when i can't do this type of trick yet but it doesn't sound as precise as you do. I hope you reply to this. have a good day!
Marco.......sir....need more romantic chord progressions and strumming with the fingerstyle....please... it's a request from one of your youtube students...I'm in love with this beautiful video and I searched for more but couldn't found any like this. please upload more, please sir. ( I'm spamming this comment just cause you could read it)
two tips! if you dry hammer, (I don't know if that's the phrase) but basically if you hammer on without strumming before, there isnt going to be much sound as the strings aren't moving at all. it could also be that you have to press harder. you also might want to check on your ukulele. if it doesn't make any noise it could be something wrong with the fretboard, although usually you just need to press a little harder on the strings to get clearer sound. hope this helps!
You play the ukulele like a guitar. Whats with all that vibrato? And why is your Uke in a horizontal position on your knee? Whats with all the hall-effect? Are you playing in a church?
It's a way of playing that I love. You don't have to follow any of the things I do. I know I don't play in the most traditional way. If you like the music though, you can learn it and play it in the position/vibrato, effect/location you like :) ... I didn't know my room looked like a church lol.
You make uke so much more fun to learn. I love learning instruments but I get so unmotivated and frustrated when I don't have anything perfected to show off.

I used to use fluorocarbon string on my Spruce top ukulele, but I learned that nylgut string sounds also great, so it has nylgut string now. 😃
Hey new-daddy, congrats! thanks so much for the tutorial, your channel is a jewel
Amazing teacher
Thanks for making these melodies pls keep making them
This is so beautiful!
Enjoy.
I finally learned the whole song!!! Now I just have to get through the song without floppy fingers.😅
Hey mate how can I do this- 15:26.... If you know, please do reply!

Congratulations. Of course the really important question is... Will Alex be a low-g-er or high-g-er?
Considering how high he cries I would say a high G 😂.
Practicing what you've learned at same time hehe...
Do we get to guess on the blurry new uke in the background? I think it's a Flight.
It’s not a Flight ✈️😁😆

Fuck that’s difficult! Maybe the picture of the fret and finger in the video could have been added separately. Looking at his fingers does not help. 🥹
