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!

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall, with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da - Hudba
Cynthia is such a gifted teacher. I always feel happier after watching her play. She is my new favorite person in the whole world!
love her!
So true!
I’m almost 57, played clarinet as a young person. I don’t even know why I decided to buy a ukulele but I did and in just a few days I feel so much joy learning to play through your videos. I am retired so spend hours in a day practicing as it’s so much fun! My dog is always in the background. Sometimes I think he’s asking me to stop. But they are supportive in their own way. Your little pup is totally relaxed!
Hi again! I learned from you 7 years ago and haven’t played for almost 2 years, due to illness. Now I am starting over, getting refreshed from your tutorials and trying to teach others to play with your help. I am 72 and have a 92 year lady in my group learning to play! You have touched the lives of so many people. God bless you Cynthia Lin 💚🐸
Literally here doing the EXACT same thing! High five! It comes back fast, I write down tabs in notebooks so that helped
Hi i am 66 years old and just this week bought a ukulele. I have played a few chords on guitar before but i am really a learner. Your lesson has been so helpful i can play along with you already with only a slip now and then. Keep up the good work excellent teacher.
hi
Peter Osbourne: I would also suggest you check out Munson Covers. He's really easy too. Enjoy!!
Peter Osborne This is also my experience, at 66 years old, or young! Cinthia Lin, you’re the best, and it’s yo, and your spirit that keeps me playing and full of joy. Thank you for that 💚🐸
You
I'm also 66 years old and just started 2 1/2 months ago. I'm amazed how quickly I've learned with Cynthia's tutorials. I became a $10 Patreon and find the Live Jams helpful and a lot of fun.
I picked up an Ukulele as a 41st birthday day present to myself. I have never played an instrument before apart from those trusty grade school recorders. I must say that I can't put it down! I search through a lot of so called "beginners" Uke videos on youtube and they were so hard to follow. I'm so happy I found your tutorials!!! You are a great teacher and I was able to follow along with ease. It took me a while to get the island strum but I'm now enjoying playing Brown Eyed Girl and Stand By Me as well as the other songs you've posted with easier strum patterns. So Thank You!
Best instrumental teacher I've ever had!
When I started playing uke 5 weeks ago I couldn't find the chords or keep the pace. Now I can do both decently. And its all due to your tutorials and encouragement. I'm so excited. Thanks, Cynthia.
I played a uke as a kid 60 years ago....a miniature uke. After hearing this beautiful singer and her Ukulele, I want to try it out again, with the full sized one. The rendition of this song is great!
Cynthia, you are the most fantastic teacher! You make me not want to do anything else but play the uke with you! You break things down and explain so clearly - making things that at first seem out of reach the next achievable challenge. And you are always so encouraging. It feels like you are sitting with us personally, so pleased with our progress, and cheering us on. Thank you!
I am 72 and a learner and have struggled with rythmn's before I found your tutorials. Playing along with you in your videos has really helped so thank you so much
My dog loves this and knows when I put you on now. She recognises your voice and looks out for your dog! Amazing to watch!
Best uke teacher on CZcams 😘😘😘✌🌹🌷🌺 i can't believe i could play this one and learn it so quickly too! Only been playing uke for 8 days! Have learnt 4 songs with you. Many thanks and God bless you, Cynthia Lin 😚 I'm so happy and my singing and playing are bringing joy to those around me too. Mwah!
What a relief! For as much as I battled to get videos 3, 4, and 5 HALF way to my satisfaction, this one is like taking a break. I need not have worried! Now I have to go back and mis-strum myself silly again with the previous lessons for a few more weeks, haha!
I've had an uke for years but didn't know how to tune or play it. After purchasing a fender turner and 9 days after starting your tutorials, I can play and sing along. I'm now a Patreon supporter! You are a fantastic teacher, I can't thank you enough for opening me up to discover my heritage.
You are a tremendous teacher Cynthia! I’m a 70 year old student and I’m impressed with how quickly I’m learning with your lessons.
Success for me is Over the Rainbow played for my wife, and this song right here. I got my Ukulele this week and watch this video at the end of every practice session.
Hi Cynthia!!! I never thought I could play an instrument, I'm 40 with 2 kids. I got one for Christmas and it sat in closet and looked at it for a year. You made me play!!!! I cant even believe it! I watch you several times a day, I learned 3 little birds, I'm yours and this . You taught me so many tips and tricks that help me SO MUCH!! I have a big request, that will make my life complete!!! Can you Please, please, please teach me the cowboy song from the movie Joe verses the Volcano? I would be SO SO SO happy and grateful!!!!! :) words cannot express!!! xoxoxo

Bravo! I started playing uke 5 weeks ago and I'm 66. I'm having a blast. Hope you are too. Like Cynthia says, "Five minutes a day."
Best teacher ,say no more. Good style good voice and clear. Very gifted.
My daughter and I have really loved your lessons! Thank you!
I am a real first timmer,64 and my first ever,and I have a whole family of musicans,harder than it looks,but I am determined, you have a very nice way about teaching very detailed, thank you so much for all your time and dedication.
You make playing beginning ukulele fun. One of the few instructors who give the strumming pattern along with written music. Thanks you
Two weeks in with my banjolele and your youtube lessons are helping huge!... thanks for taking the time!
Cynthia, me a few friends have been learning to play the ukulele. Myself, about 4 months . Your tutorials are so easy to follow. Our playing has improved so quickly. You are an inspiration to us all !!! Thank you my dear xx
I always wanted to play an instrument but never had a teacher. I'm 22 and picked up my very first ukulele 3 month ago, now I can play loads of chords, different strumming patterns, and finally can sing to most of the songs.. You helped me so much! Whenever I'm feeling down I just pick up the ukulele and play some songs, and it immediately cheers me up.. I can't be more grateful! Keep on making videos, bacause you put a smile on our faces:)
Thank you Cynthia for making these wonderful tutorials! I'm laid up for a bit while I recover from foot surgery and I'm using the time to learn to play the ukulele. I'm loving your videos and lovely voice!
You radiate such positive energy....its a pleasure to play the ukulele with you in my living room each day.. You make learning a breeze...Thankyou Cynthia
I love how the dog just goes to sleep listening to you play!! :)
I just want to thank you! Without watching your online lesson, I would not have great passion to play ukulele.
learning to play an instrument was on my bucket list but I never thought I could ever do it, this is so fun, big thank you Cynthia!
My niece started a Ukulele club with a group of home school kids..... her three daughters are home school and they have a choir group that meets twice a week, so just before choir they meet for ukulele for an hour or so..... I'm 58 years old and I'm doing it with them!!! Lol!!! It is so much fun! I have to stay on top of things you know..... so I practice with you in between club meetings! Your video's are fantastic, they've helped me so much..... and you are absolutely adorable! ;-)
love your music explanations and your lovely voice! Thanks Cynthia.
Thank you for creating such compelling and engaging tutorials. There are plenty of online resources but I find myself returning to your ukulele material over and over. I’m 3 weeks into my new hobby and am very happy with my progress thanks to your instruction. Keep smiling and sharing your gifts!
There are 6 people who didn't like this? Her playing is beautiful, her singing is beautiful, and she is beautiful. And, oh.....it's a great song. What's not to like???
And she's a great instructor.
Right? ...and it's up to 20 now. I can't figure people out. Somebody takes the time to share of themselves and this is what they get back. Thanks Cynthia. I loved this. Ukelele coming today. Can't wait. Hoping a guitarist can pick it up quickly.
People be trollin'. Jealousy is an ugly thing. They should spend their finger energy on learning how to play ukulele and they'd be happy!
Some people just want to watch the world burn
I think its just people saying that its not what they were searching for. still its dumb.
Beautiful in every way. So joyful!
hearing you sing gives me happiness in my heart
Absolutely fantastic, just got my first Ukulele today and loving it, wonderful lesson. Thank you.
First verse you were stiff, and after that you were just in the zone, forgot people were watching. I love that.
Love your tutorials! Just starting to learn and you help me practis almost every day. Super pedagogic and such a kind way of talking. Thank you!
Great job Cynthia! I love the way you teach. Keep up the good work!
You have been so helpful. These are the best ukulele tutorials on the internet! I’ve been playing 6 weeks and I already sound like I know what I’m doing.
This reminds me a little bit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". Can you do a lesson on that??? You are teaching all the songs I love! Thank you so much!
Cynthia I really appreciate the time you invest to compile these videos, by the way they are great, you are blessed with the power of teaching pretty naturally. I am learning a lot watching them, my uke skills are at another level, THANK YOU!
Chintia, you are a great teacher. I love accompany to your voice
i am a beginner...i find your tutorials very helpful....Thank you so much...I am getting there.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting all of your ukulele videos, they are so helpful.
Hey Cyinthia, you have done a good job! Thank you and God bless
My Dear, I just love your tutorials, you have the voice of an angel, and a smile to knock any guy off his feet!! Please don't stop posting when you have the time...JJ
Your tutorials and the strumming lesson is easy to follow and love your voice! Thanks so much!!!
I am learning to play my ukulele finally because I lost my okole at da casinos and I thank you for making life wonderful again, and for free too, wow, I suddenly feel rich again for some reason🤙mahalo
Well, I'm coming from Belgium and I'm 44. I've just received a uku for my birthday. Your lesson are great. You are a sweet and marvellous teacher. Please go on ;-)
Thank you Cynthia! You inspired me to be brave and learn to play the UK that I have dreamed of growing up in the Philippines. I can actually play some of your beginner's music without stopping to look at the fret.
I’m two weeks into learning and am totally obsessed! I love all of your lessons so very helpful. Your voice is so very beautiful!!! Thanks so much!!!
2 weeks for me now. Did you continue playing and what can you play now? Some example pls? 🙂
I love how easy you make this. Thank you so much. I am having a blast learning to play.
Dear Cynthia,
Thank you for teaching. Your lesson has been so helpful. I Love to play along. :)
You are awesome and a great teacher. I follow you so easily and you always end up answering the questions in my head. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to my son and I learning this together.
Wow, thanks for the wonderful lesson. I surprised myself with what I couldn't believe was possible. I feel like I went from beginner to a pro in an hour.This is my jam! Thanks for the lessons mate. Great voice, and great tips.
Great tutorial...just bought my uke on the weekend and spent the evening with you last night playing along. Thank you.
Fun song right there. Cynthia, you are a fun gal. Thanks for spreading the joy of playing.
Love it! Easy to follow and a real confidence builder. Thank you!
Aloha, Sista Cynthia...thank you for your Uke lessons bringing some island style memories from Hawai'i! God bless you!
Thank you so much for your tutorials and the chord sheets! I feel like I just struck a gold mine! Thank you again.
Thank you for being so thorough. I love your tutorials! Thank you!
Like so many others, I was given a uke for christmas, somehow, I am now addicted. Love your videos, love the island strum. Help get me out of this study and back into the real world. Well maybe just one or two more song first !

Hey cool, helpful...thanks!
Thanks a bunch 🙂
Really helpful
That must've taken a long time
Thank you Cynthia ... for sharing your passion. I'm enjoying strumming along and am learning some tips along the way. I do like the Island strum and plucking individual stings within a strum. Have shared your link with my daughter (for her 6 yr old) and my sister who also plays ukulele.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Love the tutorials....you make learning to play easy... now if I could just sing!
Love your classes and listening to you sing!
I just started playing and you gave me so much confidence with your beginner tutorials!! And great singing!
Oh yesssss! Now you're hitting home! Thanks for this! 💘 it
Delightful voice quality. Soothing. Thank you, Ms Lin.
You are the best!!! Love to learn with you, you make it so easy! Thank you!
So good! It shows that you are a real teacher.
Can't wait to actually pratice it and hopefully be able to play it not so badly.
Keep on the good work!
I really enjoy your tutorials. Thank you, it's been an experience. Thank you so much.
Thank you for all your help! I'm a uke beginner and absolutely love it! You are really helping me along. Excited to learn all these songs! :)
Thank you ever so much for sharing your fabulous talent. I just started today and love your teaching style because you make it so easy for us newbies. Love your voice
Great Lessons you make it simple..only playing 3 months ..Thanks Frank
Great music, great singer, plus a guitar lesson. Awesome!
You do a great job with these beginner's videos, Cynthia. Your always-sunny, "C'mon, you can do this!" disposition is a wonderful motivational tool. I've watched and played along with the 'Brown-eyed Girl' video for about a week now, and I'm close to having it down... so I thought it was time I downloaded the chord chart and tossed you a couple of bucks. Please don't stop giving us these superior lessons. And by the way, I'm diggin' your dog. Thanx. 😉
Your Brilliant with the ukulele. Your teaching is Awesome. You warm my Heart and Soul. Thank you.🎶🎼🎵🎤🧡
Thank you , I am now getting somewhere since I have been following your classes
Thank you, Cynthia. I have been a drummer/percussionist for most of my life and now want to branch out to either Uke or Mandolin. (I play drums and world percussion by ear, so I have always felt like a sort of second-class musician). I have looked at quite a few CZcams video lessons for Ukulele and Mandolin and frankly, your beginner lessons for Ukulele (and I am a RANK beginner) look engaging and fun. I am in the middle of lesson 1 and am enjoying your teaching style. So, again, thank you! Cheers! -Jeff M. Sarasota, FL
love it... one of my favorite songs and even more amazing with the uke.
I received my ukulele yesterday and I am already playing this song....well mostly :) Great tutorial. Tab sheet is fantastic as well.
Excellent tutorials for me as a beginning Ukulele player! Thank you!
I just had the best time singing along with you! Thanks again :))
Went back to practice this song as I found the timing actually pretty difficult. It's fun to try and sing along and it's such a big help to listen to you. The other thing is that you have such a perfectly timed strum. I find as you get a little more advanced you can learn new things from looking at earlier videos.
encouraging me to keep going, thanks loads
Thanks for the great tutorials, I find your method of teaching really easy to follow.
You are awesome! It is so much fun to learn with you. Thanks!
Awesome "simple" instruction. Thank you
Thanks Cynthia, your lessons are superb the best on youtube for sure
Thank you so very much for taking the time to teach!
Thank you. One of my favs!
What times we live in. Cherish the moment. Thanks, thanks thanks
played awesome and great tutorial... thank for that
I love your voice and talent .... Very soothing . I am stressed right now being a first responder etc. etc. However the calls have been down but we no it's coming . Bless you .... Your a Sweetheart .
OMG! You have such a beautiful voice!
hi cynthia, i just picked up ukelele and tried quite some videos but keep on coming to yours. You're a really nice teacher thank you very much!!
