Formerly the home of The Hug Strap (a ukulele strap that worked without strap buttons that Melissa designed), this channel is now dedicated to teaching you how to play the ukulele. Melissa likes to focus on tutorials of songs you have trouble finding and likes to veer off the beaten path, but she has a definite affinity for classic and alternative rock. Melissa is also known as Meg Cratty, lead singer and electric ukulelist for the garage rock duo The Margaret Hooligans, who also have their own dedicated channel.

Thank´s a Lot!!!
Very nice, great song and done superbly. Have you tried a pick on notes B then A just before first strum on chord D
Where can I find the Tabsheet please!
One string
Awesome ! 🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Let me look what you have here. I will be back after I try to play
I'd love to hear a version of 'Runaround Sue' with the same treatment; if you haven't done it yet.
I haven't, that's a fun one. What do you mean by treatment? Just breaking each bit down?
Hi Melissa🤗 Fancy seeing you here🎶😍🌷
I know, I am hoping to get more organized and be here a little more often :)
Thank you Melissa for this tutorial and pdf. I enjoyed your previous Channel so good to see you back. Got a Flea just like yours! Alll best.
Thanks! The flea is a cute little uke. Does yours have a plastic fretboard or a wooden one?
I have to admit I've got both!
@@lisacompton3661 Lol. UAS is alive and well!
One of my fav songs as a kid thanks to the oldies station. Thank you!
Anytime!
Thank you so much!! Love it!!
You're welcome!
@@UkuleleWonderlandwithMelissa I teach ukulele to adults and they will love this!
Classic.
I really can't believe I haven't covered it before.
Thanks really nice - can’t wait to try It
Thank for this Tutorial, your uke is nice, what is that for a one?
It's a Magic Fluke Flea ukulele from the Magic Fluke company in Massachusetts. It was the first ukulele I ever bought myself. :)
@@UkuleleWonderlandwithMelissa I Love it. The Look is fantastic and the Sound is awesome. I Love your Videos. I am new in Ukulele, i still lern. I got Trouble with the pattern, but i keep on. Greetings from Germany 🤙
@photozombie it is definitely tricky to strum in parts but a really good practice to get better at rhythm. Good luck!
Really fun to play and sing. Thank you, Melissa.
Thanks for sharing Melissa!
Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. love your channel. I find it by looking for the who songs.
You're a great teacher! I'm learning a lot from your videos, thank you
@@mischaakita thank you. Glad to help.
Bellissimo, grazie mille ❤😊😊😊😊
Just added this song to my repertoire. Thanks for this...
Agreed with the sentiment that it's difficult to drone on without flair on an otherwise simple song. <3
It's crazy to me that the E is still so annoying to play on the uke. 😅 My pinky sucks. lol. Thank you for this. <3
@angrytourist lol. Some chords suck...do you do any finger warm ups like scales or the caterpillar? Also check your thumb position. Sometimes just popping it on the back of the uke is all it takes to open up the hand a bit.
Love this! Any chance of a September Gurls tutorial? They do so much! 🤣 Thanks again!
@@timwilson9243 I will check it out when I get back from vacation. :) I am still road tripping. Ziggy Stardust, Drowned, and September Gurls is the list so far right?
@@UkuleleWonderlandwithMelissa Oops, didn't mean to bug you on the road!!! I also left a note at Patreon requesting Pure and Easy but that's all, I swear! Take a year to get to these! Enjoy your vacation! Ignore me! I'll just be over here practicing the intro to Growing Up! 🤣
@@timwilson9243 lol, no worries. I appreciate your enthusiasm. Just didn't want you to think I was ignoring you.
Good stuff. You rock.
@@angrytourist thank you!
In today's episode of "Melissa Teaches Tim's Holy Grail Tunes".... 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks so much for this! Happily adding this to my list, and diving into the goodies at Patreon!
@@timwilson9243 glad to share it with you!
And since you asked for requests, can we flip the platter to side 2 for the song Ziggy Stardust? Another strummy one that would sound great on ukulele! Ziggy played the uke! 🤣 Thanks again!
This was astounding!!! I'd LOVE a tutorial for this! And it's a sneaky tutorial for 5:15 too! 🤣
Oh thanks, I found out Pete does smush it 5:15 in there when he performs it live sometimes. I was thinking I would do it this summer, probably on Patreon, so stay tuned now that you're a member. :)
Holy cow! This is one of my holy grails! I've kept searching for it since I started playing in 2020 (yep, another old man who picked up the uke in quarantine LOL), and never found it, until this time I did! Thanks so much! I found some other holy grails on your channel, so I've subscribed and will be joining your Patreon too!
Thanks so much. Yes, the ukulele has been good to a lot of us during the pandemic which was when I started doing a lot of tutorials for this channel. Now I teach more in person and have less time because all my young students want to learn Taylor Swift!😂
@@UkuleleWonderlandwithMelissa I'm okay with Taylor, and have a couple of hers on my to-learn list, but she falls into the category of "plenty of tutorials available online already!" And yeah, teaching youngsters in person, you pretty much gotta!
Exactly. I try to reserve the videos on this channel to stuff I wanted to learn and couldn't find. :)

Is there a Way to put the Ukelele under Power and create Sounds like on a E-Guitar for Example with an VOX/Orange amp?
Yes, but if you want to use any gain staging like overdrive, fuzz etc you are better off searching for a solid body electric. Reverb, chorus, delay and other effects typically used down the pedal chain will sound good though. But if you have a built-in pick up in your amp and pedals, I say give it a shot and see what works. I play Joyner electric body ukuleles with my band, The Margaret Hooligans. But Risa and Flight offer them as well.
@@UkuleleWonderlandwithMelissa Thank you for the Answer! 👍
Brilliant ❤
Fun to play. A big thank you, Melissa.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ah! While on my little laptop which is logged in on a secondary account, I had not seen this update vid. It is a joy to learn Melissa's Baba O’Riley tutorial and tabs. My little guitarist mind and fingers are trying to adjust to the Ukulele's string layout and tuning. Melissa made it effortless to learn the first cover on a little Soprano Ukulele. Thank you! 🌸
Thank you for the tutorial. My 1st beginner's Ukulele. Was bitten when listening to Kristján kristjánsson playing The Who's Baba O'Riley on a loved series call Sense8. I had goosebumps!
Tiny inquiry... I just went to look at the Ukulele straps site you shared. Do you have another site where you are selling them? I have a small Soprano Ukulele. Thanks again!
Hi, thanks for watching. My store closed at the end of last year, I am just doing tutorials when I can. :)
This is by far the very best strumming tutorial anywhere for The Magnetic Fields version of The Book of Love. Excellent job ! Thanks so much for posting and teaching me how to play it. ❤☮🎵
So glad to hear it was helpful!
Super!
Really nice thanks
Love this song. I wish I could do the scream 😂
Well done, thank you.
Really good and great version of the Who songs that you wouldn’t think would work on a Ukulele but you smashed it well done 😊
This is a beautiful song to sing and play. Thanks so much, Melissa.
Glad you like it, thanks for saying so.
I enjoyed playing the song. Thanks so much, Melissa.
Anytime!
Nice to get out the baritone. I usually don't come across much material for it. Thanks so much, Melissa.
Anytime. I have plans to do more bari tutorials.
I'm a big fan of fingerpicking. So I really enjoyed this. Nice singing on your part. Thanks so much, Melissa.
No problem, I need to find some more songs to demonstrate fingerpicking on!
Thank you! Your channel needs more algorithm. You are wonderful and a good teacher. Thank you
Thanks, I appreciate you saying so. The comments do help boost the algorithm, but I took a long hiatus which I think hurt me a little. Glad you found this tutorial!
Great fun to play. Thanks so much, Melissa.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Love to learn Urge for Going by Joni Mitchell. A big thank you, Melissa.
I will check it out!
Great fun to play. A super workout. The fast parts seem above beginner level.. Thank you, Melissa.
They may be - I am never sure how they determine levels. I figure if you can make those chords that places it at an advanced beginner level based on what I have seen from festivals where I teach. But, as always, slow it down where needed and if it is too hard, come back to it when you're further along.
Thanks! Great singing too!
You're welcome. And thank you!
Just found you in your channel!! Thank youuu
