    OMG!!! Ok, so I've been struggling with chords on the guitar as I've never really done them much, just finger picking, but a coworker said the ukulele was easier. I got it tuned up and this is the first song I've ever played fully through on either the guitar or the ukulele!!! And I've had the guitar for years!!! And I just bought the ukulele and here I am day 2 and I know 4 chords already and kept up with your play along even with the hard part where it was 2 tap strums then switch!!! Like, actually playing along as you sing!!! And I kept up!!! I've never done chords before!!! I always avoided songs with chords because they were too hard on the guitar!!! Day 1 and I was reliably getting my fingers in the right spot, and day 2, I'm here doing the whole song! Thanks man!!! I'm gonna look and see if you have more, especially if you have the whole entire song. I like that you have it on the screen and you also tell what's up next. I'm not even looking at my fingers as much now except the G6 and I don't have to keep looking at how to form those 4 chords since I remember. I'm so proud of myself thanks to you!!!

      @@JJMilare lol, maybe. First I want to get down strumming while singing. And before that, I need to learn the song well enough that I don't need to look at the lyrics or listen to you to hear the tune, lol. I have heard the song here and there in passing, but since I got a ukulele, I decided this was gonna be the first song I learned 😆. Sometimes I have it then I do 5 instead of 4 and mess it all up or I stumble over the lyrics. I don't usually sing and play anything, so that's a whole new thing I'm training myself to do. Especially hard since I'm looking at both the lyrics AND the chords to play at the same time now. I would probably be further along if I did this every day. I just picked it back up today again and decided to add singing to the strumming. Also been messing up my F chord while singing because I'm playing in the dark and not always judging the distance well enough for the tabs... and... you know... adding the singing to it, lol. But I can totally play along with you no mistakes and I made it through the song with... occasional errors while playing and singing in the dark with only my phone to light up the room.

      Wow second song! Yay awesome! Much mahalo for learning here with me! Hmmm 🤔 as far as singing along tips, I’m not sure of any standard tips. But what I do is first play the song until it becomes almost just muscle memory as close as you can. So then if less of your concentration is on the playing part of the sing, more concentration can be on the singing portion. Also you can play along with the recording, and when you can, sing a word or two, or a phrase during parts where you think you can. Or maybe you can hum along while playing the song also, then add the words here and there as you are comfortable. Let me know if this helps!
