NEWBIE FAQS:
For beginner uke players, I recommend a concert (if you are a smaller person) or tenor (for bigger/taller people or former guitar players). Sopranos are often cheaper but can be more difficult to learn on since they're smaller.
BUDGET STARTER UKES under $100
Kohala concert: amzn.to/1CUXrk2 (if you spend less than this, the uke might sound like a toy)
Kohala tenor: amzn.to/1NsFvqa
Makai concert: amzn.to/1NsFOBx
Makai tenor: amzn.to/1KHRmQS
NICE STARTER UKES $100- $160
Makai tenor: amzn.to/1L5tCEY
Islander concert: amzn.to/1NsFIKa
Islander tenor: amzn.to/1L5tvZX
TUNER: Everyone should have a clip-on tuner - they work by vibration so they're more accurate than phone apps.
I like this one: Snark SN-2 amzn.to/1ST157e
DAILY UKULELE: If you're looking for a book of songs, the Daily Ukulele is a great resource for classic and traditional songs, including Beatles and jazz standards. Daily Ukulele amzn.to/1U2eg4l
Plenty of chord charts online as well!

I'M YOURS LYRICS
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention.
I reckon it's again my turn
To win some or learn some.
But I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I'm yours.
Well, open up your mind and see like me,
Open up your plans and damn you're free.
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love.
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I'm sure.
There's no need to complicate.
Our time is short.
This is our fate,
I'm yours.
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed.
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.
It's what we aim to do.
Our name is our virtue.
But I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I'm yours.
Well, open up your mind and see like me,
Open up your plans and damn you're free.
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours.
So please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate.
'Cause our time is short.
This, this, this is our fate.
I'm yours - Hudba
NEW: Turn on CC (Closed Captions) for chords and lyrics. Go to 3:33 to practice the song. Aloha, folks! Fun fact, this was my very first ukulele tutorial, and it's now 8 years old!! Thank you for following!
How do I get closed captions?
Cynthia, I am a highly skilled teacher and also have a music degree. I decided to learn Uke just for fun. I have looked at MANY CZcams instructors, and you are, by far, the best!! You break things down so well, you exude happiness, and you can sing so beautifully. Your instruction is well paced, with adequate repetition and never boring. You are truly excellent on all levels. I hope your subscribers and audience grows to the proportion you deserve! ;-)
I would say that the best person to learn from is The Ukulele Teacher
+Alexis Mendoza
Maybe.. but he can't sing ;-)
... I fully endorse!
THANK YOU very much Cynthia!

Im 53 ... i cant believe i did a song, a full song on the uke.... thanks again cynthia. This means a lot to me
You are a great teacher!
What a service you've provided. First musical instrument at nearly 70 is the uke. What a great time and your tutorials are magnificent. Musicians, poets, artists. The Salt of the Earth. Thank you so much.
Cynthia, every video.. every tip.. every smile... You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for your time and effort to all of us around the world!
Theater and music teacher here. I tell all of my students who want to learn Uke to come visit YOU! Well done. Thank you!
god you just make the best tutorials on youtube!! they're the only ones i can stand the others are way too scattered, yours are PERFECT!
I❤your instructions Cynthia. I am another 62 year old trying to learn a musical instrumental. You have made this a very wonderful experience for me . Thank you. Love the Ike, love you!❤
My wife won a Ukulele a while back and I'm happy to have found your you tube lessons I have never played a stringed instrument. Had several years of piano. The ukulele is easier to move. I ran through several you tube instructors. You are by far the best . Thank you. The pace is perfect and I will be following along for all the lessons and then some.
My son Skyler (9yrs) and I (very old) are learning to play Ukulele and he loves your videos. Thank you, you are a great teacher.
I wish I could give this more thumbs ups! Had my Uke a few days, am now playing a song I know 8))
Thank you.
Cynthia is my "Go to" CZcams channel when I want to learn a new song on the uke. Awesome teacher and she just brightens my day with her attitude.
I just bought my ukulele and i wanted to say you are a god send to my life. I can sh!t. I am so happy.
Hi Cynthia,
I recently retired and decided to take up the ukelele. I love your ukelele videos because you obviously love what you do and this comes through. Your instruction is very clear and there is no hint of the salesmanship that is prevalent in many other videos on the internet. Thank you so much. Aloha, Clyde
Today is my fourth day of owning my beautiful uke and you have SO inspired me! I have played the first lesson over and over for days and hours, and today peeked at lesson 2. What a thrill to see the way you introduce the next two chords is with this song! G is still giving me fits but I am so inspired and having SO much fun with you. I feel grateful I found you right away, you are the perfect instructor for me! Thank you also for providing the lessons and chords in the printable form! With Gratitude, Pamela
Oh Thank you Cynthia! This is one of my favorite songs! And you are so beautiful and have a great voice! What an angel! I am so grateful you are sharing your talent with us! I am very inspired! Thank you, thank you!

First Uku class ! It was great ! Thanks Cynthia!
Thank you for all of the joy you brought to my life. I am going through a tough time and learning the Ukulele has brought happiness in my life. You are a gifted teacher. I think you have found your calling.
Cynthia, I'm a 35 year old Filipino-Chinese here in Philippines and I've always wanted to learn one instrument at least in this life... Thank you so much for teaching me this song. You made it so simple. Mabuhay ka :)
Cynthia, for years I've wanted to learn an instrument but didn't feel I'd be able to motivate myself to do so. Your videos have changed that for me. I have so much fun playing and learning with you. Thank. You.
Your voice and manner are so soothing. I just started learning Ukulele i am so happy I found your channel

You’re the best uke teacher. I’ve learnt most of my favourite songs from you. Thank you 💙
Cynthia. I see you have heard this from so many of the comments below but since those might have been years ago. I will reiterate that you are by far the very best instructor I have ever seen. The patience, confidence and organic delivery is so smooth and effortless. In less than an hour turned my Christmas present to my wife into her best ever present I have ever given her for the past 34 years. Thank You. THANK YOU for doing your series!!! I am a fan for life and will research how support you in the future.
oh my gosh, your tutorials are excellent! I literally just picked up a uke a couple days ago and I love how slow your pace is! for an absolute beginner, it's totally perfect pacing :D
I have to totally agree.
I agree. I tried another channel but it was too fast. Hers is perfect
Good fun fun for fun fun
Constance Passas way
Ahhh you're so amazing! Your tutorials are the only ones I'm watching. This is super great.. you teach everything so clearly and slowly, and perfect for beginners! Thank you so much! Don't know what I'd do without your tutorials!
Agree you are the best. I searched around and I always come back. Thank you for your patience and skill in teaching beginners.
Sweet in so many ways. You make me smile Cynthia. I’m having so much fun picking up my Ukulele again.
I already ordered my ukulele. Can't wait to receive and practice ☺. Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾.
You are the greatest, Cynthia. I once went up to you after you gave a group lesson at the Yu Ai Kai Center in San Jose, maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I also bought a signed ukulele. Hope we can meet again one day: I would gladly buy you lunch one day at a nice restaurant because of your positive influence on my ukulele playing and singing. Thank you! Greg Tanaka
just bought an ukulele yesterday and started learning with your tutorials. Your the best. So patient and kind with that beautiful :D It's funny that you laughed exactly at the moment when I failed the D :'D
I’m from Malaysia, and currently experiencing movement control order ( MCO) amid coronavirus pandemic. During this MCO, I decided to pick up ukulele and I found your channel. Thank you and I’ve learnt several chords. I have just subscribed your channel and hope I will be able to play smoothly. I’m having problem when changing chords and some chords just don’t sound well as I tend to touch on open strings.
same here!! her channel is easy to understand and learn
Yay! I wasnt getting anywhere with the uke but putting these lessons on and learning with you its finally sounding like music! These lessons and playalong times fills me with joy! U(ke) rock! :) Thanks xxx

Thank you for my first uke lesson. I appreciated your patient, gentle manner . I have a long way to go.
I am so appreciative of your professionally produced tutorials. You lovely manner and patience. I am over joyed as a beginner and starting to feel like I can do this, yes. I am very thankful to you from Eve down under Australia.
I did not know that playing string instruments was very painful on the fingers, I have a renewed respect for artists.
I do not own a Ukulele as it is above my means. I cant play the guitar for my life. But I have delighted in watching your tutorials learning what I can till I can buy uke of my own. Thanks so much for letting me air strum along with you, you wonderful lady!!
You are the best Cynthia Lin. I can now play an instrument. YAY!
Hi Cynthia! I just bought my ever first ukelele and want to give a try playing it. I had no experience playing it . But I find it very entertaining learning new things. I came across your online ukelele tutorial and learn my first bday piece with you. In less than 3 days I was able to learn how to read and play the chords too. I’m looking forward of learning more with your tutorial lessons. Thank you:)
Greetings from Spain! Thanks for the tutorial! Incredible finally six months playing ukulele! Greetings to all!
Thank you so much, I started playing about a week ago subscribed to Fender, learned my basic cords and came straight here. And was able to play it right away !!!! Thank you so much ! I basically got a uke for this song
i love your calm and gentle voice. :) it really harmonizes my ears with beautiful sounds...
I REALLY love your tutorials and I also like playing with the uke, mine is a Concert uke. I litterally have every single page of the lessons and also have them on my computer. THAT is how much I love your tutorials.
Thank you Cynthia for all your lessons you are an Angel to me! 🙏❤️😊🎶
I almost got teary eyed by how quickly I was able to pick up this fun song thanks to you! I was smiling hugely the whole time, and while the notes weren't perfect I still felt confident the whole time. You're wonderful! Thank you for making such great and encouraging tutorials! I've been wanting to pick up the guitar since I was a little girl and now I'm learning the Uke thanks to your wonderful tutorials
I'm so happy with all your tutorials ❤️ thank you so much for the amazing work. You are so blessed with beautiful voice and talent.

Hi Cynthia - you are so bright & positive! I'm loving learning with you as my uke teacher. Your method and presentation is a help. Thanks from Canada!
Thank you so much for your lessons!!! Two weeks playing ukelele and now I know this two songs. I've done all you said on your videos, practice de transitions between chords and this strum is the easiest thing in the world. So thank you very much!!!!I'm so happy playing my ukelele!!!!

i watched a few of your videos originally to try and teach myself a few extra songs, now i find myself watch them because im mesmerized by your voice!
love the passion u have for teaching, playing and singing ukelele. Superrb!
You're the best! I'm so hooked with playing my Uke because of your tutorials.
I am making music... Im so excited! So awesome! I have along way to go but at least I have a good start now. It took me a while for this to click. LOL This is so cool! You Rock! Thank you!!!
So gratifying! Thanks so much, Cynthia! Love You!
I've been trying to learn a ukulele since I got one on a whim last year. Everything has seemed overwhelming since I have 0 experience with a string instrument. You're tutorials have been so easy to follow and have made starting at the very beginning actually fun. Thank you so much for bringing music back into my life!
I just started learning to play the uke. By far, You’re the best instructor. Simple but I’m learning fast from you!
Did not skip a beat! So exciting to see you put it all together for newbies
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've learned so much in such a little time!
I just found you and am forwarding coupla your tutorials to our High Desert Ukulele Club. Thank you very much for your time and effort.
What a great teacher such a natural
im a complete noob to the uke. You really explain well and the dowloaded chords help immensely. Been going now for a full 5 days - sore fingers but loving it and your nice way of teaching. Love the flowers in your hair also!
Thank you cynthia, im really learning from you, your way of teaching, breaking down how the fingers should fret, timing, beat, everything. Thank you for your patience, truly its your virtue!
You have a beautiful voice and it's fun to follow along. I'm just a beginner but am really enjoying this. Thank you:)
You. Are. Awesome!!! I went through a few ukulele videos before I found yours, and yours are the most helpful and methodical. I learned my basics in piano through the Thompson's method, and violin through the Suzuki method. Now, I'm learning the ukulele through the Lin method!!! Thank you for your time and your talent. The universe appreciates you.
You're an amazing teacher. It's been 2 months and I've learned 5 songs!!! Thank you :)
thanks Cynthia, for all these lessons.
Great stuff Cynthia...love your tutorials!
I too have tried out many online instructors over the last month and have not learned half as much as I have from you in the past two days. I have a musical background (played flute and tuba) but I am new to string instruments. You have made it so easy for me to learn and I am so grateful for your teaching style and all of the fun beginner content you have out there. Thanks so much for all you do!!
You are my MOST favorite Uke teacher! Thank you, Cynthia. You simplify things and for a beginner this is what we look for in a teacher :) thank you
You're a great teacher, patient and so skillful. Also I love your voice. It's so relaxing 😊
Cynthia, I want you to know THIS tutorial was the very first song I was taught, and jump started my ukulele journey back in Oct. 2017. I knew nothing about the ukulele, and thanks to your video, this was my first song I learned. Thank you!
Never really watched ukulele lesson before so I was kinda doing my own thing but now I feel like I need to learn everything again ! Thanks you for your work and I wish we were living in the same country to get classes with you ! Looking forward to see new video :)
thanks for the patience, yours are the first toturials where I can play along the whole video
For those who are wondering about the chords, they are on the chord chart. The link is above the Comments where it says "Download the I'M YOURS chord chart" ...
Thank-you, Cynthia!!
I can't sing and never grew up playing any instrument. I spent time with your first lesson and am pleasantly surprised that I can listen to you and play. Due to an injury on my left arm I need to spend more time going from C to G but all in all I am having a great time! Thank you!
Day two! I'm having SO much fun 😁 I can't wait for my fingers to toughen up! ✋ Mahalo!
thank you thank you thank you so much cynthia!! i learned this so fast!!
Thank you ? I am 4 weeks into Ukulele lessons and love it. Strumming now is important with double strumming...love your tutorials and music
Cynthia, it was so fun to get my first ukulele over a year ago and find you on CZcams. As a non-musician I knew it would help me appreciate even more those who are. I admit, as with this song, sometimes I just enjoy putting you on to listen to. Love your vibe and the group jams you broadcasted from Hawaii, I will keep practicing… :)
You are the BEST teacher. Thank you! You make learning fun.
Thank you so much! This is one of my favourite songs, I love the way you sing it!
What a sweet teacher! Thank you so much
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for sharing your gift and calm vibes with all of us :) Much love.
I am also impressed with the high quality varying views, camera, mike and sound production, even the lighting is always good. i can see the incremental improvements, much better than most tutorials Good Stuff !!!!
you are an absolutely great teacher!!
