I'll play this flawlessly one day, not today but one day.
Is that day today
@@ziggzaggratt8774 I cant believe it's been a month since i wrote this comment, but dont worry guys i cant play this still haha
@@whodis5392 ah it's okay dude. Trust me it took me a month to get started and a week to learn the g chord
@@ziggzaggratt8774 thanks for the moral support, I will try harder when I have more free time 💃
I’ve learned the song flawlessly just today , now its your turn
Yes!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! The chords, timing, lyrics and vocals all together!!! The little "next" chord is very helpful also.
Same here!
Great just what I need thank you 👍

Plus the chord change animation. This really helps me understand the structure of the song a lot better.
Y'all - for those of you who are struggling to "keep up"... Set your playback speed to a slower pace and work on keeping up with it that way. Once you can keep up, set it to the next higher speed. Keep going till you're at "normal". (See the wheel on the lower right of the video, next to the CC box.) This little idea has saved my life and I have learned soooo many more songs this way - not to mention, I've learned how to play so much faster as a whole because I set the playback speed to a level I can handle and then I move up as I get better.
I learned the cords pretty easily and when I started playing it I was playing over the music. My grandma walked in and started singing and I was smiling so I kept going. That was cool 🙂
thank you! you gave me more motivation ✨️
I have to play this for my. Chorus concert
😊 -kayla
@@dankeyes3079 oooh!! Good luck! You’ll do so well! ☺️☺️✨✨
thank you :D
I am sure your Grandma loved hearing you play and sing this song.
@@jeffj318 she really did :) I still occasionally play it from time to time, with her as well! Thank you for refreshing my memory of this comment ☺️
0:20 This is the stamp for the introduction so we can replay it fast
Thanks! :)
This song has such a calming, hopeful feel to it. You can’t help but imagine the world he describes and yearn to go there. I’ll be forever grateful to be able to play this and share such a wonderful song. 🫶🌈
IZ is the reason I decided I needed to learn to play the Ukulele. I fell in love with his voice the first time I heard it, which is the first time I heard him sing this song. I cried and felt a great loss learning he was gone, especially having just found him. Thank you IZ. Thank you Ukulaliens for sharing this with the world.
What is the strumming pattern please ?
@@chantalsaulnier2746 D. DU UDU
@@ucureu5079 thank you 😊
Yeah me too and I feel like when I'm playing it and singing along with him my dreams are coming true like in the song😊 our brother IZ
I have had my uke for about a week and a half. I've never truly sat down and learned any instruments before. So far I've learned "you are my sunshine" and now I'm learning this 😂 kind of a jump but I'm just taking my time and focusing a different parts of the song each day, I've gotten the hang of the cord switches and now I'm trying to add in the strumming .... emphasis on trying. Lol. In a few years from now, when I start having kids, I want to sing them to sleep and grow up with music in the house. My uke is just the beginning of the collection!
This was my grandpas favorite song I miss you so much can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years love you with all my heart ❤️
Sorry for you loss 🕊
@@Evierosa1 thank you I know he’s in a better place now ☺️
He's not dead yet
He in somewhere over the rainbow :')
Copied Comment from the original video.
This song makes me cry because it makes me think of my old school and I miss my old school. It reminds me of my old school bc the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders performed this song. 😢😢
Scream crying listening to it, peace of a million saints learning to play it
My parents played this at there wedding so I’m learning it to surprise them since they love this song
Thank you :)
Gymnast Addie_14
That’s so amazing of you. Do an update for sure! Good luck!
Holiday Pup thank you! I pretty much learned the whole thing and I’m planning on learning the lyrics to hopefully send a video to them to surprise them. Maybe while they are working from home and not expecting it but I will keep you updated!:)
Gymnast Addie_14
Wahhh, that’s greattttt! I’m proud of youuuuuu! You’re an amazing child!
Edit: as in child of your parents, i don’t know how old are you, but that doesn’t matter! You’re a great human!
Holiday Pup thank you, I really dont get compliments a lot or anything since I’m more shy and introverted so I barley talk to people so thank you for your comment, it really made my day :)
Always wanted to be able to play this, and now after just a couple of weeks of having a ukelele, I've almost nailed this song, even the strumming today, now I just have to add the words in. I'll be so happy when I've got this
Have you got it yet?
Me too! It’s on my bucket list for 2024
This tutorial format is the best on you tube, I started playing one yr ago and my drive to learn to play ukulele is this song ,nobody has taken the time to due it like you guys have all I can say is thank you from all that are trying to learn to play a ukulele ,keep up the great job you are doing 👍🏼. 🌴🌺Mr. Dave from Florida 🌺🌴. 1/23/20
Thank You Dave, it's comments like this make me so happy to make the videos.
AGREED! After looking at so many for this song... I am so excited to find this one. I started learning this song a couple days ago and I have all the chords down and now having this tutorial it all makes sense. No to master switching from C to G or C to E Minor. Oy.
#TheStruggleIsReal #CoronaStrongInFL
I love this song.....and this man's voice and his version of this song.........I cried real man rears after hearing this.......God bless him,...and everyone...... thanks.
ill play this right in the next two years
Love This Song, R.I.P. Israel and All My Loved One's 😇 😊🎉❤
This is probably the most beautiful song ever composed
Izzy is a great Talent.
Grateful to have his music! 💕
BEST play along I've found for this song so far... the chord chart is everything!! THANK YOU soooo much!!
learn to play eddie vedder ukulele
Such a beautiful rendition of a classic song and melody, it soothes my soul, puts my heart and mind in a time long gone but, how I love to go there and rest.
I tried this song a month ago, I couldn’t even begin to do it, but now I can do it almost flawlessly :) thank you so much ukulaliens! My music teacher loves you
I need to learn a song in two weeks and i am a fresh beginner… oh no 🙊
@@langreasenberg5218 Did you learn it?
Congrats!
When I was young this song inspired me to get an ukulele
I'm young, and I did get a ukulele.
No mistakes were made.
xXJosieXx I got my first Ukulele when I was in 5th or 6th grade. (I am now going into 10th)
I picked this instrument up surprisingly quick, even tho I just got my ukulele last week, tho I suppose that playing the violin a while back has helped me also. But damn this is such a fun instrument its easy to play and pass time. Such a good investment people, don't wait, buy one now. It only took me like a few days to get used to the main chords and strumming.
schoolistrash when I first got my ukulele, I was so confused. I didn’t know the basics and I didn’t know what chords were at the time or how they worked or anything. I recently took guitar lessons at my school for 1 and a half months and we learned chords and I realized how easy they really were, once you got to know the basics. And the chords on ukuleles are similar to guitar.
I got one when i was 8 or 9 years old i really liked the ukulele its was a bit hard in the beginning,
but over time it started to seem easy
I was really happy,
I would recommend the ukulele for beginners if you want to play a instrument wich is easy to carry and sounds calm!
I practiced for my dad and he thought it was so cute
Well, just got my first ukulele today.
Was searching for a cool first song to learn and found this.
I just wanted to say that this video was amazing. It was extremely easy to follow along.
Being able to see all the chords and the lyrics, with a good timing was amazing.
Took me about about 20 minutes but I can say that I’ve fully learnt my first song on ukulele :)
Congrats!!
20 minutes! Man I still haven't learnt it 😂
Sing the correct lyrics though
@@pizzapartyman are you experienced with playing instruments? i think it makes a big difference. Keep going mate. One day this'll be easy
We sung this song because someone in my school died in year R/resection and this video was sent to his mum and dad for his funeral
Nicely put together Uke Club ! Bravo ! THX ! Yuma,AZ.
For those who want the hard/real strum pattern its pluck the C string DU damp D. It can also be Pluck the C string DU damp uDu
I don't get the damp part. Can you elaborate on that? Which finger and hand do I use to damp? Which strings do I damp? I always felt all of the tutorials for this song are kind of off, because it just sounds different in the original, even though it's really only a ukulele. Thanks for revealing this secret^^
Ma’am I got this uke yesterday and my head is spinning
@@ZaphaQ Use your pinky to damp all four strings
pieceofvibe
What does dampin the strings means?
@@akudumb3021 mute them so that the notes stop before the next strum
the best video all over YT about how to play this song! Thank you!!!!
I love the song and his voice.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true
Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?
Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
And also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying I, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more then we'll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
World
Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh, why can't I?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Well, considering there’s the lyrics in the video, this wasn’t very useful.
But thanks anyway!
I have to perform this on October and this is helping me so much omg
Good luck then!
How'd it go
Sooo? How'd it go!
?
How did it go?
HOW DID IT GOOOO!?!?!?!
This is the ABSOLUTELY BEST rainbow learning video I've seen on CZcams. I'm learning it to play at our next family reunion. Thank you SO MUCH!!
I love playing along to this! It’s such a helpful play along! This song is lovely to play on the ukulele.
This was played at my nan’s funeral, trying to learn it for her
aww good luck i am sorry for ur loss
ASID San Diego thanks, just gotta keep smiling :))
NONONONONONONONO IM NOT CRYING
Daisy Light Gaming :D
I’m not the type of person to legit cry from reading a comment but.. I’m crying. Not even kidding.
I have to play this song for my 5th grade graduation, so this is SUPER helpful. Best. Video. EVER!!!!!!!!!!
this is the best tutorial ive seen on this thank you so much
I ♥️ THIS SONG 🎤🎵🎶🎶♥️🎵🎶🎶🌞🌈♥️💜💙💛💚SOMEWHERE OVER THE WAY RAINBOW 🌈………………🙌🏽♥️🙏🏽
My fingers are dying after playing this whole thing seriouslyyy
quick update these was a comment of mine as a beginner, practice is the keyyy guys good luck 💕 thanks for the likes 🤓
Ugh I know!
Hahaha ,,,
Ikr
Kaltra Cobaj sameee
Kaltra Cobaj it not that hard
This is the reason I bought a Uk. :)
Welcome to the world of ukulele!!
You bought the UK?? lmao
I’ve been trying to learn this song watching so many different videos, this is definetly the best!!! Thank you💖💖
for music class we have to present a song in ukulele's and i chose this song, and i'm so glad! it's so fun to play!!!
This is a truly amazing guide, most videos out on CZcams have the cords but not the strumming you have it all! Great video!
Completely agreed. I hope they have more presentations like this...
I’m playing this with my Orff class on who knows when? This helps me practice because I have a Ukulele at home too!
thanks for these, ive been playing uke for 2 days and can already play this thanks to you and a few of the other great tutorials on youtube!
One of the best channels I found that actually can explain the full song and I can understand thank you sooo much
Just found this - have picked up an Uke after not playing the guitar in years. This was a fun play along - then I realized there was a tutorial so will go to that. Was great playing along with you virtually. Thank you!
this is phenomenal! I think the very second chord of the intro is just moving that 3rd fret to the second, instead of the whole G chord, but that is only how I hear it.
That little added "next" is pure genius!
Exellent man with a Beatiful voice, even he is not here with us 🙏
Took me one day to learn this! (While following along with tabs of course) I used to dabble on the guitar so I picked up the ukulele pretty quick. 2 weeks and I learned my fav ukulele song, now I have to master singing along👌🏻
This is amazing, perfect, excellent logic to show it this way, forty years ago when I strummed we didn't have this technology, makes it to learn this a childplay this way. Wow. I think I'm too old. I have to sub. Thank you, again.
After two weeks of getting my Uke in the post - proud to say that I can now play this as this song was my motivation! Love it to bits.. but just cant get the proper strum down! I can do the island strum but not in this tempo.. amazed at how hard it is to just copy a strum beat!
Awesome to hear and you will get there with the strumming. You can slow the video down in the setting to practice too.
Jac A - I hear you. When I try to do a play-along, I know the chords, I know the strum, but I just can't put them together in sync with the play-along. I've tried several "easy" songs several times. I think eventually, I'll need to face the fact that I can't play the ukulele. I hope you've learned this song now, two months since your comment.
@@e.castlerock8454 I’m having the same problem lol when I play it all together the strumming just doesn’t sound right, but I’m sure we can do it!
@@alwayshangry4898 - LOL, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one having trouble coordinating everything! Good luck to you! I've given up, at least for now.
And uh 1 uh and uh 2 uh and uh 3 uh and uh 4 uh and uh
Repeat
That is the stum count.
Play it as you say it just like it sounds.
This song reminds me when I see a rainbow outside after the rain fall, congrats on making this song for this amazing instrument! I really hope your doing well and having a great day❤ I really appreciate this and its approved for me to do for my playing test for my music class. Enjoy the rest of you day :D
Best uke play along Practice like 3 hrs a day literally
Wonderful!! I'm using this to teach middle/high school students.Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback and very glad you are finding it useful. Lots more to come now Christmas is out of the way. :-)
Cool I'm learning it and I'm in 5th
En verdad agradezco la forma en que desarrollaron y presentaron el video. Es fácil de seguir. Sobre todo poner el acorde que sigue. Mil gracias.
Hi Diane, can you tell me what size or model Uke is used for this song? Ie soprano, concert, etc? Thanks, stay safe and well everybody 🎵🎵💕💕
Once I learn the E7 and EM chords, I can start learning this song! Can't wait :D
I was gifted a ukulele on Christmas 2022. I have learned a few songs but this morning my granddaughter and DIL asked if I could play Somewhere…Rainbow. At 9am I could not. At 6pm I can, not great but close. Thx so much!
I need to practice this one for my husband surprise birthday😍. It’s help me a lot .
I bought a ukulele for my daughter's birthday, coming up in a couple of days, I'm practicing secretly, ... I have to show her something right? Good luck with your husband's surprise. Video tape, and post it.
@@csmihaly That is such a great idea haha ;D))) awwww very cute
if its too fast for you, reduce the playback speed to 1.75. it helps 👍🏻
Do you mean 0.75
BRUH 1.75 SPEED WILL KILL YOU HAHA
Wow what a voice. This always makes me happy. Thank you for the lyrics.
Perfect! Just what I needed. So easy to follow. Thank you so much for this!
For the begginers: just Loop C,G,Am,F but in the intro u need to switch chords fast then in the singing part is where u just a bit slow switch chords
An exquisite rendition of an American classic.
Oh.... yeah.. that's da music I'm talking about!
Thank you for putting more these songs up I really like playing them I don’t care of my thumb hurts from drumming no strumming too much I still love to play the songs in the notes are so easy it’s the best thank you
😃
OMG, thank you🧡
I can play this song so good with this video ( love, that I can see on which chord I am now!!🔥)
Best Video I've ever seen
done very well. i found that some of the other youtube tutorials did not have the right chords. Also, showing the 'next' chord was a great idea....thanks.
This video is awesome! I just got my uke today and had no idea what I was doing, but an hour and 30 minutes later and I can actually play the song decently! Albeit slowly of course. 10/10 recommend for beginners!
Omg this is amazing. I could learn the chords but struggled so hard to match the words and timing together. Ty for helping me and my sister. You saved us!
This is an entire mood. And I love it.
This video is perfect to learn the chords as well as practice along! Thank you so much for making this! Appreciate ya!
I just enjoyed your Tutorial, with the chords and singing. Brillant! I just picked up the ukulele and have to unlearn the guitar chords. Thank you so much for teaching me this song. I sang it differently as a child, the other version. I am so happy to know you ! Congratulations on Winning!!!!!
Thanks, I'm trying to learn the Ukulele this is realy helping me
Great rendition. Love it. Thank you
July 31st 2021 Been practicing this song for a month every single day for 5-6 hours, anywhere, anytime in anyway and I finally did it! Full speed no sound !YAYAYAYAYAAY.
Brilliant, well done!
@@Ukulaliens Thank you!!!
this video is just what i needed!! thanks for making it, very fun and easy to play🥰😋
The end lol😂😂
well i got a ukulele for christmas its my first time
and i have to learn this because my parents married with this song ❤ Thank you so much
This was the first uke song I learned so it was quite a challenge, took me a year but I learned a lot from this. Had to play it slower on my own at first cuz I didnt know about that wonderful option right here on the video to play along at a slower speed, darn! but I got it down now so very pleased. and thank you Ukualiens for providing the best tutorial for this song. What could be better than playing along with the original style of IZ?
I’m gonna sing this for choir and play the same time thank you so much this is really gonna help me
Excelente video. Hace tiempo venía tratando de sacar este tema y con tu vídeo lo logré en minutos. Gracias. Espero más videos así
THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!😃😃😃😃 What a great way to learn my new instrument! Thank you!
you guys helped me a lot with the ukulele and i only got mine 3 days ago! Thanks
Today I got my first ukulele!
Got a uke today, and this is surprisingly easy with a background in guitar lol
もりくんの「ことの経緯」聞きたかったー😆
ギター🎸さすが最後までぴったり👍
バイオリン、さくまさんそこからかーい⁉️
ウクレレはOver the Rainbow が好き😊
Wow da best tutorial ever yet! Thanks for the great work on making this...aloha nui loa!
I finally did it even though i was a little quick and my strum pattern was off but i did it and it sounded like wonderful, im self thought and I got my ukulele four years ago
Israel was so good.
Iz did this song at around 170 beats per minute, approximately. Of course he was a great ukulele player and singer. For beginners and intermediate players I'd dial it back some. The Calypso strum works but I've always heard the strum as more of a reggae effort. Fwiw.
Hi, don't forget you can slow the videos down if you want to. Click on the settings below the video.
I love playing this,again and again😍😍😍
Wow! Wow! Thank you!!! What a huge gift! This is the easiest follow along on earth! So grateful! This is a real service to beginners who want to share in this beautiful art!

THANK YOU for THIS now since you helped me reach my goal playing ukulele really helped me Thank you I always wanted to play this song and you helped me THANK YOU
Glad to have helped.
Wish i can play this also one day, thank you for sharing this
Ukelele my favorite
oh me too
In the beginning this was really hard to play, but it just takes practice. I used to do it on .5 or sometimes .75 speed, but now I can do it on normal speed. Just practice switching between the chords, and practice strumming, and eventually I gets really easy, and you don't even have to think about it.
So easy and fun to follow! Thank you for creating this! :D
