    Such beautiful tutorial of this great song. Thank you to Mr. Lynch for his great musical talent and for his patience in teaching novices like me. I just found out a couple of days ago that Mr. Lynch had passed away in 2018. I was so sad to hear that, as I thought I had just found my uke teacher. I will, however, continue to follow the tutorials he had created. Such a wonderful teacher and thank you to his family for leaving his tutorials posted on CZcams. I'm grateful to you.

    One of my favorite of Uncle Mike’s videos! It’s not only how he plays & teaches but his sweet, gentle voice singing “Amazing Grace”. Lovely. You are missed.

      @Hisjewelever-Malachi Před 7 lety +1

      They are lost but they don't hate themselves. The bible says we love ourselves. The lost hate the truth/light and love darkness Jesus said. That is the problem.

    Tomorrow I'm going to a music store to purchase a ukulele and want to learn this song. The Ukulele he is playing has a beautiful fret. Probably very expensive. At the same time, the very first comment I read mentions his passing. Eternal Rest Grant Unto Mike, O Lord, let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all soul of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

    That is the most beautiful rendition of "Amazing Grace" that I have ever heard. I knew it was supposed to be upbeat and cheerful, not a funeral dirge. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to learn how to play it and show my family how wonderful Amazing Grace really is.

    Thankyou so much Mike for this tutorial. You are so patiently slow for us beginners. I really liked what you said about training your finger memory so that eventually your fingers will automatically know where to go. Excellent point and very encouraging. 😀

  • @ncmissouri
    @ncmissouri Před 9 lety +23

    Mike, I can't tell you enough how nice it was to finally play with someone and learn a strum pattern! I just started in August and I really appreciate you. From the many instructors on CZcams, you are the best. You explain it and talk to us. You are very encouraging and helpful. Wish I hadn't spent so much on other sites. I'd buy your stuff in an instant. Maybe the next pay day, next month, I'll have some spare dollars to invest.

  • @methatlovescats3602
    @methatlovescats3602 Před 6 lety +2

    I can say this at the beginning nothing makes sense but as you are learning everything is falling in place and learning becomes easier. so finally after 4 weeks with constantly playing and learning with few breaks I did write it down so playing it is easier. my problem was strumming but I'm getting it. Thank you for your patience in teaching.

  • @boonang4097
    @boonang4097 Před 4 lety +2

    After 2nd viewing of Mike's Uke teaching, i could not help not thanking Uncle Mike for sharing his Ukelele experience. Mike dosen't beat around the bush. He is very clear and shows how to also avoid difficult moves of chord finger placements. Great Ukele Teacher and Encourager. 👏👏👏

    Love it, Mike. I work in a school, just got off two days ago. I've made a commitment to myself to read a couple of my favorite books for about an hour a day, to do some house cleaning (YUK!), to improve some of my relationships by being more honest and straightforward, and to watch two Ukulele Mike videos (and some of the other great ukulele tutorials on utube) every day!

    Hi Mike, I'm 73 and started the passion 2 years ago, I have to teach myself and keep getting stacks of advise from people who only want to show me how good they are. Since I found you, my lessons have become easier to understand THANK YOU. I have downloaded a lot of your vids and this really helps, I now understand and can fumble through 12 bar blues as you suggested I put words to it, referring to crocodiles in my favorite fishing spot, YOU really have made a difference to my Ukulele passion.I'm even making a new tenor ---- So thank you Mike,

    • @bobclutton6523
      @bobclutton6523 Před 7 lety

      here's the words for 3 verse would love to hear what you could do with it. Fish’n at Mission 2, I'm sure people will change the 'rack' word -- i wrote that way.
      Sitt’n at a bar in Mission,
      Just sitt’n at a bar and wish’n
      There’s croc’s in the Hull ---
      --- no-one wants to cull
      We’re wish’n all those crocs would rack off
      Yeh I’m wish’n all those crocs would rack off
      Sitt’n in this bar in Mission,
      talk’n of go’n fish’n
      The Barra are a bite’n, the Jacks are a fight’n
      I’m sitt’n here pissed n’ wish’n!
      Wish’n all the crocs would rack off
      Crocs fish the inn tide
      Hide’n on the mud slide
      Looks like a tree trunk
      I’m get’n blind drunk
      N’ wish’n all the crocs would rack off
      wish’n all those crocs would rack off
      Yeh we’re wish’n all those crocs would rack off

    @UkeGirl100 Před 12 lety +1

    Mike; I wrote that last comment without having listened to the whole lesson. Well, your detailed (and, may I say, extremely simple) strumming instruction is exactly what I needed -- like I mentioned to you, I'm kinda stuck in the thumb strumming you were doing at the beginning. The careful and slow instruction with the index finger is what I needed. Although I'm too advanced for the chord instruction, that's fine because the strumming instruction is GREAT!

But, you break things down so nicely, completely and slowly for us beginners. I've watched a lot of others in the last few weeks, you are the best, Oh right, I remember, I found you looking for Ukulele Lady. I met this song via Arlo..but I really liked how you did it.
