Yesterday I saw one of your videos for the first time, an hour later I ordered my first ukulele. It came in this morning and I have been playing for three straight hours! I've been feeling a bit down lately, but doing this makes me happy! Thank you so much!
The thing I love about your videos is that you don't make a pretense about being a good singer. Most people would be so self conscious that they don't have some absurdly beautiful voice and be quiet and lack confidence, but you just sing loud and proud. The fact that you're just having a good time playing some tunes makes it great fun to listen to.
My parents got me a ukulele last Christmas, and your videos basically taught me how to play. No paid lessons or help from anyone else. Just wanted to thank you! I love playing😄
Of all your Ukulele videos I am surprised that this is the most popular. I would have thought Somewhere Over the Rainbow or something. Thanks for your contribution to the Ukulele community! All most 1,000,000 man! We are all looking up to you.
dude,i played guitar really badly as a teenager. recently i got a job in a school and discovered lunch time ukulele club and have been hooked ever since. been using ur vids to get ahead of the kids. ur vids are really well presented and easy to follow. keep it up.
I've had a few messages recently saying they teach kids ukulele in schools now - I think it's great. When I was a kid it was the recorder or nothing! Glad you're enjoying the vids :)
The lion king is so near and dear to me that this has made me ecstatic! Thank you so much for this, and thank you for every other tutorial you have done. I can play ukulele because of you!
I've had my Soprano Uke for about 6 months, had so much trouble with some of these songs, now I'm revisiting them on my new Concert sized Uke I got 3 days ago playing them with a breeze. Practice really does help!!!
I've been watching your videos for about two weeks and my first uke came today. After not even ten minutes I learned the chords of this song, and about half an hour later I can play it full speed! Thank you so much for these videos! My fingers are rubbed raw and stuff but it was totally worth it.
i got my ukulele today and wanted to try something not to hard to play, to test it and get some feeling how to play such a thing like an ukulele ... i watched your video and got it within an hour to play this song in full speed ( you need to know, that i never played a string instrument befor) ... your video with the pictures where to put the fingers is so helpfull and entertaining ... now i have a lot of courage to learn how to play ukulele with your vids ... thank you so much ... this is so cool :D ... greetings from Germany (sorry if my english is not the best, i am still learing that aswell ;) )
FickiFackiFruchteis Awesome, that's really cool to hear! Good luck with it, and keep on playing - it will only get even more fun from here, I promise you!
I just got a ukulele and I have been watching your videos. From you I have learned in a matter of 4 days over 15 different chords, and multiple songs and strumming patterns! Thank you very very much! :)
I just started learning the ukulele, and i'm so happy I found your channel just as I was getting frustrated. Your videos are so easy to follow, thank you :)
hahahaha this song is so different here in Brazil,in portuguese. in free translation it is "Hakuna Matata, it's beautiful to live, Hakuna Matata, yes, you'll forget, your problems you have to forgot, it's to live, it's to learn, Hakuna Matata
Also in Kenya where I heard this so many times. The people love it. It's an honor and makes people happy. Hakuna matata - no problem. Hakuna ma-ta-ta! (all "t" as a hard "t" like in "tiger" or in the end of "pot") 😉👍🙏😇👋😄
+Daniel Asaph If that means anything to you two, I also saw videos from this dude, learnt how to play ukulele, also bought guitar and learning :) it is not that hard
+David Šaravanja, It is what I have done, using capo and the last 4 strings. My guitar is a semi acoustic Ibanez but has done the job, my ukelele will soon be at hand!
Your tutorials are helping me soooo much! I still have problems with some of the strumming patterns, but you make it so nice and easy. :) So thank you very much!
I seriously love your videos♫ I just got a ukulele recently:) I didn't buy any books because I decided to use TH-cam tutorials, and I've been using yours the most- they're the best! I've used your tutorials to play Riptide (my favourite♥), Let It Go, Feliz Navidad, La Da Dee, and now Hakuna Matata (Hakuna Wasiwasi:p haha)! People ask me how many years I've played the ukulele, and I say "A couple of weeks, actually!" and they think it's the greatest thing ever:p Thank you so much for amazing tutorials:D
I'm finding it really hard to keep a "down - down - up - up - down - up" chord strike without thinking about it too much distracting me from the chords I have to play
+EvilisMe Don't worry man, if you keep practicing every day and keep learning new songs and chords, you'll get really used to the DD UU DU pattern really quickly since it's used in a lot of songs :)
I started Ukelele lessons, once a month, Peranakan Social meet, and i am so happy to meet you here! I even saw a youtube of my pet Corella, Snowy a second ago! Thanks for your upload!
This has always been my pick me up song ever since I was little. Now that I am picking up the ukulele you know I had to learn how to play it! Thank you so much for the video, great instructions. Keep it up :)
I just decided to learn this to show my nice since I got her a Ukulele for her birthday, but now I want my own! If I get one I'm definitely using your videos to learn songs. This ones simple but it only took 5 minutes to learn, and that's a great help when you play a ton of instruments and don't want to devote hours into each one every day, memorizing all the chord shapes and such. It's bad enough just remembering the tunings lol. Good job man, and thanks.
I just got a Koa wood Ululele through Amazon and this is going to be the first song I learn. I've been playing guitar for over 30 years so it's no big deal. Still, the first of anything can be very special. Thank you so very much!!!!
I've got really bad day and after watching this I'm smiling wide. And definitely buying some uku to play someone this cute, perfect song to cheer up them too! Thank you!
I know exactly how I got here I went from Dan and Phil to one of Dodie's covers and to thinking that some how I would be able to play the ukulele just like her and completely failing👌🏼
I just ordered a uke from the internet and i already find myself a good teacher ;) I play guitar btw but I think its wont be easy to get use to such a small instrument. But anyways thanjs for the content
I love you uke! it's so unique mine is pretty unique too. it's pink with a heart hole instead of it being fully round. it still tunes the same and everything! it's perfect for valentine's day stuff just wanted to say you earned yourself a new subscriber!
I teach ukulele to 4th and 5th graders and your videos have been so much fun for them. This week is our last time together until next fall and I have sent them away with your videos so they keep playing all summer long! Thank You!
I think I've got about 6 or 7 at the mo (not including my guitars, bass and mandolin!) but I keep getting new ones - and giving old ones away - so it's kind of hard to keep track!
Thanks, you just earned yourself a new sub... Just won a Ukulele at my music institute and decided to learn some songs. I have a little trouble hitting the D, but everything else is with ease.
+The Ukulele Teacher I got scared when u said that there's no left handed musicians because I'm left handed too and I thought it would be really hard and then I saw your next comment and I went thank god because I really want to learn to use a ukalele
So I'm getting a ukulele and I was looking at one of your video of giant woman and I never got to the tutorial but hearing you do made it look so hard with the strumming but now it looks so easy so thank you

I barely got a ukulele and just watched your video a few times and now I can play this easily! Thank you! This really helped a lot :)
3:07 (marker for myself so I can practice)
Practice, PRACTICE RIGHT NOW.
@@qw000pz lolll you have a blessed soul
I'm finding it really hard to keep a "down - down - up - up - down - up" chord strike without thinking about it too much distracting me from the chords I have to play
+EvilisMe Don't worry man, if you keep practicing every day and keep learning new songs and chords, you'll get really used to the DD UU DU pattern really quickly since it's used in a lot of songs :)
Dont focus on the strumming pattern. Just listen to the beat of the strum and you can get it easily.
especially if your trying to play hallelujah at the same time...
Just keep practicing and eventually it will just be muscle memory :)
EvilisMe Don't play any chords! Just get the strum FIRST and then fit the chords in the background. ;)
