You are so right. I just started ukulele two months ago after playing guitars my whole life. I'm finding ukulele is making my heart happy and engaging my brain as I learn new songs. Thank you for teaching us songs. Your awesome and learning ukulele is really good for the soul. You are helping the world to discover ukulele. Thats really a great thing, teaching us.
You have really nailed the format for each lesson. The layout is really easy to follow with the tabs on the side and the words with the chords on the bottom.
just spent the past month learning from the first tutorial lesson you have, and i found this tutorial SO EASY in comparison. The chords, words and video all in one was extremely helpful vs. going back and forth constantly. Ukulele is the first instrument ive ever attempted playing, and im picking it up nicely thanks 100% to your videos. the uke sound heals my soul ❤ thanks a million.
Thanks Cynthia,,, you are a very good teacher,,,,,i am learning ,,i love all your lessons,,,,easy for me at my age 78 years old,,,,,i feel so happy with my UK.....regards from Australia
Just started following and learning. Thought kiss the girl would be good to play for my kids but while watching I started crying. So good. Love the page.
I know you have heard this a thousand times, but you are the best teacher. you go slow your pleasant to listen to & beautiful to watch. We went on a cruise last Dec to Hawaii. I learned a few songs on the way. It was so much fun. When we docked in Honolulu 1st thing my husband said lets go buy you a uku. We did & I've been playing ever since. We bought a concert & since then I have bought tenor & a soprano. Some day I would love to add yours to my collection. Would be totally awesome. Thank you for the lesson & I going to become a patreon. Pat J from Idaho
This has always been one of my favourite Disney songs of all time. Thank you for the tutorial! The rythm is quite hard to sing to the island strum and i am having a bit of a struggle, but i guess a few days of repetition and practice will fix that. You got a lovely voice and an even more lovely way of teaching! I am becoming a teacher myself and I am always looking for new input to my style. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very helpful, thank you a bunch! :D I tried to learn this song with a bunch of other tutorials, but I couldn't figure it out, with this video I got it right away! :)
Hi Cynthia Lin, I have just picked up the Uke and am totally taken with the sound of it and your VOICE! they are both beautiful.... your teaching methods are fantastic and I am learning much, very fast..... Would you ever consider teaching: "The Unicorn Song" by the Irish Rovers. Its a lovely song and hopefully you will like it too. Thank you for sharing your gift : )
Singing and playing is so hard! I suddenly go brain dead and become incredibly uncoordinated when thinking about the words.How am I going to serenade the ladies at this rate? I'm doomed to the single life of watching you tube and drinking the loneliness away. Can you teach "Fade to Black" by Metallica? Tis a wonderful song to set a depressing mood.
Start by just doing 1/4 notes, or even whole notes, while singing the melody. This will help identify which syllables the chord changes fall on, also helps for figuring out if the song is 3/4 or 4/4 timing. Once you have the chord changes timed properly with the lyrics you can start making the strumming pattern more dynamic. In general I say that you need to practice strumming until you can comfortably carry on a conversation while strumming in the background. Once you can strum and talk it's not much further to strum and sing ;)
Hi Cynthia, I've been following you for about a year and I love your lessons! There's just one thing I can't figure out! What is that a picture of behind you?! I'm dying to know!
So far this is my first song that I'm learning and its hard for me to sing and strum at the same time it gets me messed up anyone out there that is having the same problem as me!😭 and tips to help me out
So if you can just practice strumming alone until you can play it with let's say your eyes close you can keep adding challenges, and if you can easily pass the "challenge" you had you can move on to the next leading up to singing while strumming. Just to get a feel and be able to at least do it in some way. It takes a bit to master the technique of singing WHILE strumming and I'm just excited to learn myself! :)
Don't worry!! I was in your place when i first bought it, i know it's a little bit late but use the yousician app!! In one month i learned all the chords and lesrnes to sing and play at the same time!😍
I notice that you double the strum at certain parts while it's a single strum at others but it doesn't signify that on the chord chart (or on the video). Am I missing something here? Would love some help...
How do you sing and play at the same time? I keep switching back to basic up-down-up-down strumming when I try to sing, kinda like patting your head and rubbing your tummy
+TheChocoholic44 Yeah, it's definitely hard at first. You just need to keep practicing until it becomes second nature. Eventually you'll get to the point where you can play and have a full on conversation with someone :)
Hi! I noticed your Islander ukulele has black strings but it comes with Aquila strings (white). What strings do you have on there? Thanks, and great cover/tutorial!

Look at them Beatles. Go back and look at the black and white vids. Singing and playing their hearts out. Right out of the working class. Try, TRY!

Poly Eurasian same your so not alone that's so me glad I'm not alone
Poly Eurasian ur a frekin legend😂

Don't think about it when you're playing. Try your best to let your arms just do it and don't think about it and focus on your singing
Don't worry!! I was in your place when i first bought it, i know it's a little bit late but use the yousician app!! In one month i learned all the chords and lesrnes to sing and play at the same time!😍
Just play the island strum and sing it in your head it will come good i promise just keep practicing till you nail it good luck
It was really hard for me out first but after a while I got used to it! Just keep at it and you will get there!
I notice that you double the strum at certain parts while it's a single strum at others but it doesn't signify that on the chord chart (or on the video). Am I missing something here? Would love some help...
I told my son I was going to play this at his wedding. LoL
Perfect, thank you so much!
LOVE IT!!! is there one from Moana?

Hi! I noticed your Islander ukulele has black strings but it comes with Aquila strings (white). What strings do you have on there? Thanks, and great cover/tutorial!
Brent E. you can buy black strings from 'ghs' - google them. Aloha.
They are probably Lava strings.
What type of uke are you playing? I love the sound
Skinny Love please! Thank you very much.
How many island strums per chord?
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having trouble with this.
yes, I'm having that trouble too!
