I am semi-retired and 69 years old with essentially no background in music. However, I always loved music, and a month ago I decided to learn the ukulele. I was lucky enough to discover your tutorials on TH-cam. I think you are a wonderful teacher with an intuitive ability to sense what your students need. I feel that with your help I have been progressing. If I may I would ask a little favor, can you teach us the song, "You Are My Sunshine"? That is a song I sing to my wife and our anniversary is soon, and I would like to sing it with my ukulele. Thank you, Marty
Cynthia, I will forever be indebted to you for teaching me to play ukulele. In just a few weeks I have learned enough to be able to play quietly for my Dad at his bedside as he departs this world. Thank you for bringing this bit of brightness to my family in hard times. You are a gift to the world.
Thank you for this tutorial! I met my husband while attending u of H in the 70s. He sang this song to me and that was it! We've been married since 1975. Now I will surprise him with your wonderful version.
Cynthia, once again, thank you so much, you are a gifted teacher and a blessing to folks like me who’s lucky enough to come by you on youtube. I started your ukelele tutorial on the 3rd week of February, concentrated on your beginner lessons and patiently got the hang of strumming. I confess i had been to some other channels in search of my favorite songs and easy chords for it. Always i ran into fingerpicking which made me shy away from most of the songs i was looking for, until i realized that i have to learn it... fingerpicking. And so, im here on your channel again, and lo and behold, after a lot... and i mean A LOT, of fingerpicking tutorials that i watched, it was your tutorial, this tutorial that i understood. So thank you again cynthia, god bless, you and your family... aloha🤓
Cynthia, you made it all seem so easy...so achievable with your very patient and clever way of teaching. You are a great teacher! Bless you! Thank you for being my Ukelele teacher. I can't wait to show off what I've learnt from you!

@@Ella-su3jf Thanks Eleena. Although I just don't know why I cant remember it after practicing quite a few times over the last week or two (very disheartening :P)
The whole package! You have it all...Looks, talent (uke and a beautiful voice), patience, You are the best! I am 90% able to play this song after only a few days. Thx much!! Aloha!
Dzień dobry! (That’s good morning in Polish). I absolutely love it. You’re amazing. You’re so peaceful and composed that practising with you is like a meditation for me. I can’t thank you enough for what you do! ❤
Cynthia, thank you so much for this tutorial. I have learnt lots of chords but rather ignored the strumming aspect of my playing. You made this so delightfully straightforward to learn.
You are the best teacher. Yesterday a bought a tenor Ukulele, I totally in love with the sound a thanks to you I already know 7 songs. I play the guitar but I thing I will use UK most of the time.
You are amazing. I am clueless playing with musical instrument but my kids and husband are not. With your teaching my kids appreciate me trying to learn and they do help me sometimes with practicing. Thank you
Hi I have never never seem a teacher like you. Really you are the best super teacher everrrrr, I Wish I were in your country (Iam in Costa Rica). I just bought my uke a week ago and learning with you. Thank you so much. I would like to sing like you, Your super super special person. God bless you.
So gad I discovered your channel during "quarantine." I was getting a little discouraged with my Ukulele APP and other resources online. Once I stumbled upon your videos, I realized I can play better I thought! Practice often is really useful too. Wish my fingers didn't hurt so much. Ah well!
As someone who is still a beginner at the ukulele I understand fingers hurting but eventually calluses will form at your fingertips and it won't hurt anymore. I've been playing for about 6 weeks total now and my fingers don't hurt anymore.
I did play few songs with Ukelele so far, just realized by now that all was the tutorials of you Cynthia! Thank a lots for your extremely kind tutorials. Best wishes!
Thank you so much Cynthia, I've been practicing this song 1 week before Valentine this year to sing to my bf (I was only strumming and doing chords of the verse back then). After 5 weeks, I can play the whole song now, of course it's not as good as you, but I finally finished my first ever uke song. This feel so good.
Earth angel, please give a tutorial re: thumb placement behind the neck. Also, please, a tutorial about fingerpicking hand nail length and shape. Many folks will appreciate these, I'm sure. Thanks
Cynthia you a genius, what a great teacher you are, thankyou from the bottom of my heart for making your wonderful vidios, you help me sooooo much as I learn more about the ukelele. ❤❤❤
I've just started learning the ukulele and your tutorials are clear and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, it's greatly appreciated!
What a great teacher. I' am a retired Registered Nurse, 68 years old and ready to learn all my instruments. Took a class on a Cruise Ship on the way to Hawaii, the best thing I have ever done. I am so hooked now. Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching.
Great tuto . Thank you very much indeed!!! . Lovely voice, good tempo , even as a beginner you always find balance between challenge and achievement . Just great !
I always struggled with that Em to B7 chord when I was looking at tabs online. So glad I stumbled across your tutorial! That transition made the bridge so much easier to play!
Such an awesome lesson thank you so much for sharing!!! Im learning to play the ukulele and you've helped me so much! I will definitely be watching more of your videos, you're great keep it up!
Hoping to get there soon :) practiced this one a while now! Just love they way you have structured your tutorials so one can play along with you and have the lyrics at the same time :D You are my absolute number one Ukulele tutorial teacher on TH-cam. Thanks soo much for the value you bring
I love this, you are so gentle and your teaching speed is so steady, I never feel overwhelmed but I'm constantly learning. I watch your videos up and down, over and over, you are making my ukelele-journey so fun. Much love!
Cynthia: sings and plays like an angel. Elvis Presley: what's that sound? * Looks down and smiles * Elvis sings along: ~but I can't help falling in love with you~
Hello, Cynthia. Firstly, thank you for all your work. I dreamed of learning this song for a long time, but I just couldn't do it. With your tutorial, it took just couple days!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Thank you so much! Secondly, from the comments, I can see that you have a lot of requests. Sorry, but I'll have to add one more haha. Ed Sheeran covered Royals by Lorde and his version is incredibly beautiful. I don't want to put a link (don't wanna go to spam haha) but you should look for it here on youtube. Believe me you not gonna regret:) If you could do a tutorial on his version it would mean the world to me.
I have been waiting for this....so lovely. Really appreciate the tips on counting. I am self taught and rythmn can be challenging! Having such a good time😊

Wrenna, for this same reason I have picked up the uke. With my mom of 90 yrs I hope to serenade her through these times.
@@scudsters Sending you and your mom lots of love.
Thank you for this tutorial! I met my husband while attending u of H in the 70s. He sang this song to me and that was it! We've been married since 1975. Now I will surprise him with your wonderful version.
