    okay so.... if you are watching this and going "WHAT AM I DOING? HELP ME I CANT DO THIS. I QUIT" (not gonna lie that was me the other day) don't. don't quit. i don't wanna sound cheesy but if you persist u will get there. i am not a musical god but i got there... in the end. good luck to anyone learning and thanks taylor for an awesome tutorial xx

    Omg i just don't understand, my ukulele is tuned, I'm doing the chords and the strumming pattern exactly the same, yet when i play it sounds nothing like the song. I'm so frustrated.

      Allyson Schlosser you might not be struggling anymore but if you play it with the song or sing with it then you'll see that it sounds like the song.

      you might need a cabo then

    • @gimmeteaplease2421
      @gimmeteaplease2421 Před 5 lety +9

      Make sure your pressing down all the way on the cords, and make sure when strumming that you put the same amount of pressure onto all of the strings

      You need to tune it to open #G6 and play different chords.

  • @sarcasticemma3203
    @sarcasticemma3203 Před 7 lety +597

      Take it slow and just practicing the chords by themselves.

    You're a really good teacher it's just that when I play it sounds completely different to you :(

  • @poppyb05
    @poppyb05 Před 6 lety +4

    Hey guys! I got my ukelele a few days a go and as this song may seem very hard, don't leave! It took me 4 days to get the intro and chorus. I recommend looking into other CZcams sources to teach you to strum and to learn about the fingering. Please, this is actually an easy sing, but it definitely takes a while.

  • @riot2405
    @riot2405 Před 7 lety +17

    You're the best! I've played drums for years but never touched anything with strings. A friend passed away a little more than a month ago, and she loved ukulele. At one of our jam sessions I recorded her playing and singing this song. I picked up the uke in her honor, and thanks to you I'm on my way to playing the same song. I watched another tutorial but yours was much better. Thank you!

      I bought a ukulele just over a week ago, and started learning it completely in secret, it's been hiding in my cupbaord whenever my parents are around and so far I've learnt Primadonna Girl and Riptide (purely from this video) - Once I'm confident in a few mroe songs I'm gunna wow 'em!

    • @nono4336
      @nono4336 Před 6 lety +5

      Blue Sweater it would depend on what type of ukelele you got. Soprano and Tenor sound different, for example.

    • @mennoh6847
      @mennoh6847 Před 6 lety

      If you have a DIY kit, like me , you hate to mesure the distance beetween your nut (where the strings start) to the senter of the 12 fret, dubble that distance. That is where you need to attatch the brige, make sure the white thingy in exacly on that mark. This made a huge different in my case, it sound amazing now, way better the the ukelele she is using in the video
