  • What's the FIRST song you should learn on the ukulele? That's up to you! But I would recommend You Are My Sunshine. It's nice and easy, nice and slow, and has a tune that everybody knows. It's the perfect beginners song and you can learn it in just a couple of minutes!

    You were my first teacher on the internet. Seven years ago. Met a wonderful teacher in person. It's been my sunshine, my only sunshine sometimes... music is life

    I have probably sung this to my granddaughter 1,000 times. It is such a sweet song. Great to get kids to play the uke because they know it.

    I just started ukelele, and I've loved your tutorials! I'm so excited this came out, but it will be my third song instead 😆 (if you count twinkle twinkle and the ABC's as two separate songs... Which, you know, they aren't really! 😆)

    Awesome lesson, I just unboxed my first ukulele AND played my very first song 😊. Thank you for the lesson!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. My mom is my sunshine and now because of you she can listen to her baby boy play and sing for her.
    It's all because of you. I am her sunshine. It only took 61 years. I owe you big.

    I just bought a ukelele a bit ago and have been watching your videos religiously since then. Steven Universe actually inspired me to buy a ukelele and I’ve watched all of your SU videos MANY times, and I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on “Be Wherever You Are” or “We Are the Crystal Gems” (especially the version with young Steven!!) Thank you so much for making these videos, they’re by far the most helpful tutorials on how to play ukelele that I’ve found

    the main reason i even got a uke is because i wanted to learn how to play tear in my heart by Twenty One Pilots. i got it, learned it, and kept learning different songs!

    I was told at school in music I was tone deaf so never tried.
    Now at 44 I'm trying to learn Ukelele.
    Away to try follow this lesson as only done chord progression so far.
    Also have arthritis in my hands but probably the more I play, my hands will get faster. I hope so anyway. Thanks for making these tutorials

  • @davidevans2653

    I was so confused why it seemed harder than it should be and why I couldn't make it sound the same. So I watched and listened on .20 speed. He's not actually strumming the same patten he explained. There are extra notes and some times he squeezes in a full extra beat

    Hey brother can you teach me how to play flow around the country by Christopher if that’s possible

  • @VonBriest
    @VonBriest Před 2 lety

    I think the song(s) you should learn first are songs that you just really wanna play and don't are too hard on beginners...It keeps you motivated. I could never motivate myself to practice "you are my sunshine " :D That's why I started with Radioactive, Wellerman and Pocahontas (german Song by AnnenMayKantereit). But as usual - great video!
    Btw: From personal experience I can also recommend to have a song that you practice every day in fingerstyle... It's just so different from "Chord-play" and for me it really helped with my hand coordination and also chord-switching.

    Imo the first one (and most recognizable) is ... Riptide . I would still probably bring my uke and somehow play it decently . But that's me.
