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.

❤❤❤
Ty!
Great lesson!
Great instructions, easy to follow. Thanks so much!
YOU ARE AMAZING !!!!!!!!!. Thanks
This is great. Thank you and you sound wonderful! Most appreciative.
After wartching the tiny desk i have become commited to play this song, thank you for this
Was it Stephen Merrit on Tiny Desk? I haven't seen that.
Can we have full vers, pleeeeees!❤ and good game!
Full version of the whole song, yes?
Okay so there's this ominous thunder that happened when you're starting to show the strum pattern. If that was live then it's like bringing the rain.
🤣🤣🤣
So easy to forget what an amazing song this is! I love this easy tutorial too! Thanks so much!
Perfect! Thanks so much!🎉
What a fantastic idea for a song to take on! Fantastic tutorial, too! Thanks again for another unique choice that sounds truly wonderful on ukulele!
What a gem! Not only one of my favorite Bowie songs, but his version is my ring tone for when my wife calls me! This will be a fun one to add to the repertoire! Thanks so much!
This was a suggestion by a follower, so glad he suggested it!
Thank you for this. Fun to play.
Good to see you!
sounds soo good on uke thank u i love shock the monkey
Thanks, I was happy to rediscover it myself!
Thank you!! Great video
I love this song. Never thought of trying it on the uke until now. Thanks.
Baba O'Riley 🙂
Oops. Thanks for the correction. Can't believe I spelled that wrong!
Cool shirt!
Thanks! A gift from the husband who most certainly knows how to spell Baba O' Riley properly, unlike his wife!
Very good on key cords and strumming … well explained but only out of tune a little.
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. :)
