+The Ukulele Teacher srsly in the first fe videos you made your voice didnt match the song most of the time but you became sooooo much better at singing :) maybe i wont give up singing along to my uke do you have any tips i always lose the rythme when i sing
Hey ! Into the INTRO, instead of playing the fifth fret of the second string, you can also play the open first string. It's easier for beginners because it lets you enough time to position your fingers to play the A/F chord ;) Thanks for this awesome content, we love it ! (Excuse my english, I'm french)
Thank you. Fantastic tutorial. The fact it has a user friendly combination of chords and picking makes it sound more advanced than it is. Would love to see a similar treatment for South Central Rain or Fall on Me.
hey man, good evening yesterday I bought my uke, it's a Shelby SU23R and I'm really excited... I started to play in my friend's uke and now I bought my own in the internet Thanks for all your tips, I love your videos so much
I recently bought a ukulele. I downloaded from the web chords and tablature thanks to your lessons I'm learning many songs. Explain everything very well. Thank you very much. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina (South America)
Could you please explain the opening strum with the verse and Chorus.....At 3:13 in the video you verbally explain it's a Down, Down, Up, Up, Down, Up, but your diagram on the screen says different...I'm confused, could you please explain.
Should i start out on a Concert or Soprano ukulele? I am a beginner and it will be my first ukulele. I would like one that lets me play modern pop/rock songs but one that i can learn on as well. Thanks!
If you find the time and are up to it, could you please do a tutorial of weather with you by the crowded house. Both strumming and plucking. Absolutely love that song and I think it would sound great on ukulele!
I found that on the intro, instead of doing the 5 on the 2nd (or is it 3rd) string, just going 5--7--5--0 is a little easier, plus it buys you an extra second to move your hand to the Am.
You should do Beautiful Thing By Grace Vanderwaal. I wrote tabs if you would like: [Verse 1: Grace VanderWaal] C/ G/ You think that you know my heart Am And you probably do F So I'm always with you C I could stay with you for hours G In an empty room Am Never get bored F/ Never have nothing to do [Pre-Chorus] C You're my other half You're what makes me, me G What makes me smile Am When I fall down and I’ve gotta get back, get back,get back up F/ On my feet [Chorus] C You're a beautiful thing G We're a beautiful thing together Am F Even when the weather is low (2x) C G We can find the rainbow Am Up in the sky F/ You'd say don't you cry, it's all gonna be alright That's a beautiful thing [Verse 2: Grace VanderWaal] C Make hours into seconds together G Am The weight of the world feel like a feather F/ Cause we're holding it right in our hands [Strum 4 times with hands on strings] [Pre-Chorus] C You're my other half What makes me, me G What makes me smile Am When I fall down and need to get back up on F/ my feet [Chorus] C You're a beautiful thing G We're a beautiful thing together Am F Even when the weather is low C G We can find the rainbow Am Up in the sky F/ You'd say don't you cry, it's all gonna be alright C G O Oh O ooh oh Oh Am C No, it's all gonna be alright That's a beautiful thing
Saw the title of this without concentrating and was like ?!??! And then realised it was a song I didn't know :') I really like the non-chord bits, I cannot remember what that's called for the life of me :') nice vid!!
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I've owned an uke for all of 19 hours now; but you said the strum pattern was DDUUDU but the arrows at 3:20 read DUDUUU. Also could you do a tut for Waterloo Sunset?
What would really help is that at the end of teaching how to play a song, you play the song the whole way through in every video so we can follow you play!
hi, thank you for this tutorial! i have tried to find the downloadable songsheet from your Facebook page but cannot find it. Please could you tell me how to get it?
Do you think you could do a tutorial for the Gale Song by the Lumineers, specifically the version they made for Catching Fire? It's one of my favorite songs. Thanks, keep up the good work!
How about adding a video to augment this one, that teaches us how to play the mandolin part of the REM original, but using uke, just like the young daughter does in the "band with kids" cover done by Music Family on TH-cam.
hello! I'm considering getting a uke, and i was wondering if you have any recommendations on a good one for beginners to get!? also if you could, I would love to have a uke tutorial on nine in the afternoon by panic! at the disco! thanks in advance!!
I really loved this video! Love this song and the band and your teaching style! As a newbie uke player I would like to know if the Ukulele you use in this video is a concert and if so I can use this tutorial in a soprano? (I'm sorry about my english, I'm actually from Brazil and this is not my mother language)
hello there, thank you for this tutorial, i have really enjoyed it. I am looking for The Gael, or Kiss from The last of the Mohicans. I have found some Ukulele videos but they dont explain the cords or strumming, could you point me in the right direction? thank you ;)
As always - truly excellent tutorial. Thank you. One thing though. At 3.15 you say the strumming pattern is D-DU-UDU but the subtitle says D U-D-U U-U, which is presumably a hang over from the introduction? At 3.25 all is consistent again.
Awesome video! Great as a tutorial, but I almost gave a standing ovation at the end of the complete song you played at the beginning (I was too lazy to do that, so you only get a full-hearted clap!!)
Omg your videos have helped me so much through all of my ukulele life ! ( 5 yrs now!) Thank u so much for ur amazing videos! Your voice really goes good with this song! Is there any way in the future u can make a Kissing Strangers by DNCE tutorial? Thank you ukulele teacher!
My grandma's gonna love it when I learn to play this all the way through. 😂😂 Thanks for teaching this song! It's a family favorite and now I'm gonna be the one to play it at family gatherings, which is great. As for song requests, I think Mr. Jones by Counting Crows would be an awesome song. Thanks!
Arta Vlasov I had the same problem in the biginnig. I though he's using his right hand for it, but what he actually does is putting ringfinger and pinkie of his left hand softly on the strings. it's pretty easy when u figured it out!
I know you're all about the ukulele rather than the singing but your voice really suits this song!
Thanks! Nice to get a nice comment about my voice once in a while :)))
+The Ukulele Teacher srsly in the first fe videos you made your voice didnt match the song most of the time but you became sooooo much better at singing :) maybe i wont give up singing along to my uke do you have any tips i always lose the rythme when i sing
here comes a thought from Steven universe would be super nice :)
dude my mom is gonna LOSE HER MIND when i play this for her!
wow, he gave you a heart almost 4 years later, you had to impress him a lot

Thanks for the tip. It really helps!
for me it's a lot easier, thanks :)
Ah bah oui, c'est pas idiot, ça. C'est quand même plus facile. Merci beaucoup - I'm french, too ;-)
That's how I learned the intro: your way 🙂
Yes exactly
What song would you like to see next?! :))
Gonna get better or no way by Fifth harmony
Green day
A fingerpicking tutorial please
Brother by Gerard Way!!!
Adeles send my love
This songs is amazingly recognized right away. Sometimes, if you do not sing you can not recognize what song it is but this one is a keeper. Thanks

verse: 3:13
chorus: 3:57
bridge: 4:28
intro: 5:27
ending: 7:04
0:20
David bowie - Starman
Yes please!!!!
PLEASE DO THIS
YEEEES
YES OMFG
YES PLEASE
this is brilliant, so informative and easy to follow, even for a bundling amateur like me... many thanks
+Chris Housman Thank you very much!
How is it tuned?
Gabriela Fernandez GCEA
This is one of my all time favorite songs, THANK YOU!!
3:15 mark your strum picture not matching what you're saying? "down down up up down up" Picture is for the Intro I think?
yep!
excellent use of visuals both chords and strum pattern thanks for dumbing it down!
Thank you. Fantastic tutorial. The fact it has a user friendly combination of chords and picking makes it sound more advanced than it is. Would love to see a similar treatment for South Central Rain or Fall on Me.
hey man, good evening
yesterday I bought my uke, it's a Shelby SU23R and I'm really excited... I started to play in my friend's uke and now I bought my own in the internet
Thanks for all your tips, I love your videos so much
Could you do a uke tutorial on a song by The Smiths? Preferably There Is A Light That Never Goes Out :D
Oh gosh yes anything Smiths yes please!!!
Everyone like this comment so he sees it! I would love to see Ask or What Difference Does It Make
omg yes please
That's a great idea!
Hanna YES PLEASE
I recently bought a ukulele. I downloaded from the web chords and tablature thanks to your lessons I'm learning many songs.
Explain everything very well.
Thank you very much.
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina (South America)
I've never been so excited about a uke tutorial
Thank you so so much, you're amazing. I bough a uke back in February and you have been the greatest teacher ever. I send you love from Colombia ♡♡♡
Thanks so much for this, boss! I went out and upgraded my uke right after watching this. You broke it down for us perfectly. 👍🏼
Awesome tutorial. Thank you. Could you make a tutorial of Catch by The Cure please?
You're so good at tutorials! Every song that I have learnt and remembered on the ukulele I learnt from you! Keep up what you're doing
Gosh, I love everything about your videos: editing, design, your voice. Keep it up!
Could you please explain the opening strum with the verse and Chorus.....At 3:13 in the video you verbally explain it's a Down, Down, Up, Up, Down, Up, but your diagram on the screen says different...I'm confused, could you please explain.
Probably the best tutorial you have done, with the best singing job. More classic songs!
Can you do some nirvana covers?
I love this guy, he's the greatest ukelele teacher in internet
Successfully learned! You are fantastic teacher and you break down tutorials the best I've seen!
Love this tutorial! Regarding downloading the song sheet from the link below ... where is the link? I can't find it. THANK YOU!
I dont play ukulele i dont even play the guitar but i watch every video u post xD
lol
You weirdo lol. Grab your uke!
_ Knowledge I believe in you!
Holy crap dude your singing has gotten really freaking good. And the Uke is still the best I've heard
this is so amazing, especially the finger picking. Super creative. Ive gotta learn this
Should i start out on a Concert or Soprano ukulele? I am a beginner and it will be my first ukulele. I would like one that lets me play modern pop/rock songs but one that i can learn on as well. Thanks!
i prefer playing with a concert one because it is much easier to play it because the fretboard of the soprano is a little small for my hands
Awesome!! You're video's are literally the most easy and clear lessons on youtube! Thank you so much!
Excellent! the only word I found to describe your lesson! Thank you.
thanks! I've been looking for playing this song with my new ukulele.. great!!
This is an excellent tutorial, easy to follow and well broken down, can’t wait to start learning the song
literally, this is mind blowing... Dude amazing job
that little smile at the end of the play through in the beginning was amazing :')
Are you going up and down with the index finger on the plucking?
Great lesson, I've been wanting to learn this song!
Great video, thank you. I was wondering what kind of ukulele you're playing in this video? Make and model #? Thanks!
It's really gift for me. There is not much misterpieces of this song on the ukulele in russian youtube. I'm subscribing. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
If you find the time and are up to it, could you please do a tutorial of weather with you by the crowded house. Both strumming and plucking. Absolutely love that song and I think it would sound great on ukulele!
Loved it bro!!! I always get a kick out of your vocals. Your teaching style is great too!
Another great video John. The new font definitely works better for the tab sections.
Thanks, appreciate the advice on that - it's definitely improved the layout of the tab, no question!
I found that on the intro, instead of doing the 5 on the 2nd (or is it 3rd) string, just going 5--7--5--0 is a little easier, plus it buys you an extra second to move your hand to the Am.
Nicely done teach!!! I love this song and have been looking for a new one. Thanks for the lessons, you really make it fun.
-Roy, Dallas, Texas, USA
Hey John, would it be possible to make a small tutorial on how to pick properly. I keep having trouble
AWESOME VID. Love this song. It's great to finally find a high quality tutorial of it
