I like the part where you said, "Wait, don't leave", coz I was about to leave. I was looking at other tutorials where they teach C and F etc so this is different but it turned out much better! I'm glad you told us not to leave! :)

I've outgrown your videos and it's kind of saddening. When I first picked up the uke, you were my favorite teacher and I learned how to play thanks to you! But your tutorials are now too easy for me, which is a good thing. Keep being an amazing teacher!
I'm just starting and think your a great teacher, lve never played an instrument before, lve got fat fingers which are stiff through welding, grinding and fighting (ex Para) it's ajoy every time l try my hardest to do the stuff you teach us,..........started 02/01/2019 branspanker! couldn't go from a to c or even strum ,......it's coming though and l put it down to your good UA-cam video's and also others on here so thanks Bernadette ,the others and UA-cam!
I feel that Bernadette is an excellent teacher. She was the first online tutor that I found . The way she breaks things down into small bits is useful indeed. After a few repetitions , I can play a recognizable tune, which is very pleasing. I am going to start one of her 30 day courses this week. I have also joined as a Patreon , as I am keen on the Ukulele bible she is preparing. Keep it up, Ms B . You are great!
Ah, I didn't know it was in a different key than the other tutorials! Thank you for letting me know~! Just a few days ago I released an E chord video, so I thought it would be great to put your learning to the test with this song. Hope you are able to master it soon! :D
So glad I found you. My pace of improvement has increased 10 fold. I was having a difficult time tying strumming, transitions, and singing together. Other UA-cam teachers could stand to learn from your method of breaking things down to simpleist form and then allowing us to add as our skillset improves.
Hi Vic!!! Thank you so much for your comment. It makes my teacher heart happy to hear that your skills have improved!!! I'm an elementary music teacher by day, so I teach on UA-cam the way I teach my kids in the classroom. It's nice to hear your feedback because it's encouraging to continue this method of teaching 💗 Keep updating me on your progress. It's great to hear!
I really love how you teach! You go really slow and keep motivating your students, plus I love your voice! So relaxing and smooth. Thank you for this great video! This is my favorite song by the way.
Go, go, go Ms. B =) I can hear more & more of your singing! Great tutorial again. peace & love ( This tutorial is what greeted me in youtube as I rise up today) Peace & love
I don't know how to thank you enough for taking time to make these instructional videos. I vowed to learn something new this year. I am so happy I found you! Thank you!
Lol. You're funny Ms. Bernadette. Thanks for another great tutorial. I love how you Introduced us the E chord first then teach us how to use it in a song. And the slide action from A to E and back to D is gonna make it more fun to learn. Thanks again for being my inspiration.
This is the best tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you. Excellent advice on how to get that tricky E and a simple (but effective chuck strum). Brilliant!
Perfect song for everyone. With everything going in California and America, this song is perfect for all of us. Thank you Bernadette with slowing down for beginners and going through the strumming for the intermediates. I am sharing this with our uke group. Love your presentation.
I'm want to learn how to play ukulele. This is the best video I've ever seen. Not only give simple but progressive tutorial, but also motivation to keep learning. Keep your awesome work. Thank you!! 😀😀😀
oh you are wonderful, you really understand the beginner. I just started it, but I now believe I can do this, you make the impossible possible, thank you so much Bernadette
Thanks, Bernadette! I've always used different fingering for D, so it's been a challenge relearning to do it with different fingers but it works better for transitioning between chords ... especially, now, that I know it's the same shape, just different fret.
I really love your so simple way to teach us thé easiest way to play uke and have fun with! Great and very Nice teacher !! Thanks. Best regards from France... happy to be able to understand english!!
I love learning at my own pace and having the opportunity to view many different teachers and their style. I’m very comfortable w you bc you are so down to earth. There is a group of players in my area, but the teacher seems more involved w where her group will play next rather than teaching beginners, and you have to pay more for a four session beginners class that she gives separately. Her practice group is actually intermediate to long time players. I’m not there yet. But your tutorials allow me to build my proficiency slowly without developing bad habits. Thank you, God bless, and Merry Christmas.
I just found your channel and I’m so happy. Lots of channels say easy and for beginners, but they are not. You explain things so clearly. I’m finally excited that I might learn! Thank you.
Hi Ms B. I have been following your videos for tips and tutorials all week in anticipation of receiving my Lohanu concert ukulele, and it finally came today. Im so excited! I can't believe I am playing one of my favorite songs! That E chord is difficult for me and my fingers hurt, but I am making music!!! Thank you for your clear and patient instructions. My 11 year old son is hooked on watching your videos with me and wants his own ukulele! You inspired us 😃
Hi Kimberly! 👋🏼 Welcome to the ukulele family and community!!! 🤗 you are going to LOVE IT here!!! Okay, so this version here is the one that sounds close to Bob Marley’s but here are two options to make it easier: Option 1 replace the E chord with an E7. E7 is easier than E. Or option 2: if you want a simpler version try this: Replace all the A chords with C chord Replace all the D chords with F chord Replace all the E chords with G7 chord So it would sound like this [C] Don’t worry, about a thing, cause [F] every little thing, is gonna be [C] alright Let me know if this makes sense. If not, I can film another version ;)
Played along on my acoustic guitar, same slap and pull but on open cords... The guitar going lower for the E fits perfectly with the ukelele going higher on it :)
I woke up extra early to practice my ukulele so I was so happy when I saw this video pop up. Also this is one of my dad's favorite songs he will be so happy after I learn it thank you 💗💗
You so good in your explanations my teacher.I'm learning a lot from your tutorials.it's so interesting. I'm spending more time watching your videos than before.thumbs up....
thank you for your video..is there a pdf of this song by any chance or where do you recommend I find it..Ive had a hard time finding just this song..I know its simple but w/o the video I cant seem to do it by myself (yet)..
I'm ready! Thanks for your awesome teaching skills, u r blessed with mad teaching skills indeed!!!! I am at home with three little kids and def don't have time to go and get lessons somewhere right now! U make me learning the uke possible and so fun!!! Thank u!!!!
so fun!, I play bass, and acoustic guitar for open mic stuff, I do goof around with the uke..wicked cool! you are wonderful, as a coach and teacher myself ,I have to say the words you got this and you can do this are about the most empowering words there are. POWERFUL young lady, kudos!
This is a great song and your voice is beautiful for it! The pace of this tutorial is great, it's perfect to follow rightaway. And I love the strumming, it's so simple but sounds so much more special! Also I'd definitely love to see more bloopers in the future 😁
Luisa aww Luisa, thank you!!! You’re seriously the so so kind. Always giving out compliments. The strumming definitely adds A LOT to the song and is really simple. Hope to hear you cover this song on your insta story ;)
Love this! I feel like I’m really learning with your videos! One request… putting the full song visuals up together at the end so we can pause and play. It seems like all the tabs I find have different cords but I like your version the best so far. Easy to play and follow along. Thank you!
Got caught up on things and did not have time to practice as I used to. But I am back ;) ... hope to see you with some epic song. It would be lovely if you could do a strumming pattern in conjunction with fingerpicking style.... just a thought. 😉🙃
I already play guitar so I reckon I've got a start for learning ukelele (I'm getting one for my birthday in a few weeks). You are so clear and encouraging, I'm sure I'll be average in no time :)
You are just the best! Between the easy version video, this one and the left hand chuck short video, I can break this song down into several skills and then put them back together and build it back up into the complete song. So 😎 cool! Patreon member forever! ❤
Hi Andrew! 👋 Most people use C F G on their videos because it works. I went with A D E because it is the chord progression used on the original song. Whenever possible, I try to teach songs in the same key as the original song. What do you think? Would an easier version be better?
Thanks, I am so glad I tried this wonderful lesson ! A & D, are working but "E" eludes me ! Time to take a break, trim the finger nail on the "pinky" finger. Then put some Aspercreme on my hands because they ache so much ! The little percussive "chuck" has got me hooked ! I can't wait to have a song to play on my little ukulele ! Harpinhankhogan
I enjoy playing this song. The difficult part for me is chord E, my index finger does not feel comfortable. I'm trying to curve the fingers more. Thank you,.have learned a lot from you .
Super Complicated, lol. Once I pick up a uke your teaching me lol. Right now I got the ubass. Been playing bass since high school. Got back into playing recently with the ubass. And will picking up a uke soon. Your awesome, can’t wait.

sounds like it's time to hang out on the Ukulele Cheats channel ;)

Wonderful lesson Bernadette! It's a great song!
So cute how you can laugh at yourself. Thanks for making this a little more challenging in a different key than most beginner tutorials.
Ah, I didn't know it was in a different key than the other tutorials! Thank you for letting me know~!
Just a few days ago I released an E chord video, so I thought it would be great to put your learning to the test with this song. Hope you are able to master it soon! :D

I'm thinking about learning to play the ukulele and saw your video here, for the first time. Really enjoyed it. You are a great teacher. Thank you.
This is the best tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you. Excellent advice on how to get that tricky E and a simple (but effective chuck strum). Brilliant!
hello ma'am Bernadette you're really my favorite music teacher from the very beginning of my ukulele trials thank you so much that you're here❤
Perfect song for everyone. With everything going in California and America, this song is perfect for all of us. Thank you Bernadette with slowing down for beginners and going through the strumming for the intermediates. I am sharing this with our uke group. Love your presentation.

I'm so impressed with your teaching. I thought e cord was just impossible, but now I can do it.
oh you are wonderful, you really understand the beginner. I just started it, but I now believe I can do this, you make the impossible possible, thank you so much Bernadette
You are such a great teacher. I always learn something new from your videos👍
Lori Dikena thank you, Lori!!! 😘😘😘
What did you learn in this video?
Thanks, Bernadette! I've always used different fingering for D, so it's been a challenge relearning to do it with different fingers but it works better for transitioning between chords ... especially, now, that I know it's the same shape, just different fret.
Great tutorial. Love it, but I had to change the dreaded “E” to an “E7” and surprisingly, it worked 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can already play but you just make it fun. You have incredible patience as well as talent. Thank you two years later. Why am I late to this party??
I really love your so simple way to teach us thé easiest way to play uke and have fun with! Great and very Nice teacher !! Thanks. Best regards from France... happy to be able to understand english!!
I love that she says not to give up,It really helped me.
Thank you so much for these! I got my starter uke two weeks ago and I’ve been using your videos to get started. I love it!!!!
You are a very good teacher. Thanks for the videos.
Don Clough thank you so much, Don. UA-cam gives me the best students in the world and I’m so lucky for that 💕
Love your teaching style Bernadette! This is one of our favorite songs ever and we look forward to your video of the whole song. Thanks so much!! :)

I love learning at my own pace and having the opportunity to view many different teachers and their style. I’m very comfortable w you bc you are so down to earth.

Jim Kummer 🔥 I just know when people want to quit!!! I have to be on fire sometimes!!! Happy to hear you’re trying harder, though 😉
I just found your channel and I’m so happy. Lots of channels say easy and for beginners, but they are not. You explain things so clearly. I’m finally excited that I might learn! Thank you.
Never felt like I have found a comfortable finger position to play D until now, and it seems so obvious! Thank you for sharing your time and skill!
Hi Ms B. I have been following your videos for tips and tutorials all week in anticipation of receiving my Lohanu concert ukulele, and it finally came today. Im so excited! I can't believe I am playing one of my favorite songs! That E chord is difficult for me and my fingers hurt, but I am making music!!! Thank you for your clear and patient instructions.

[C] Don’t worry, about a thing, cause [F] every little thing, is gonna be [C] alright
Let me know if this makes sense. If not, I can film another version ;)
I am a new leftie just cruising around looking at your videos. I agree with the one person, "you are adorable" smiles.
I love this. I've been practicing this song over and over again.
What a TRULY WONDERFUL LESSON! I love the way you teach.
Played along on my acoustic guitar, same slap and pull but on open cords... The guitar going lower for the E fits perfectly with the ukelele going higher on it :)
Thank you so Much for your Positive Energy !!! You nourished my Motivation ! Bless You ❤💛💚
Subtle calm learning🌺 A big thankuuuu ❤️

Thank you for this :)
I like your videos. Thank you for your patience in teaching ukulele
So happy I found your lessons. I like the tips for transitioning from A to D to E! Now I’m going to go back and do your 30 day challenge.
You’re such a great instructor!!! Thank you, I feel like in I’m a room with you, you are so great, keep it up and THANK YOU!!!!!!!

GAH!! Keep singing! There's a hidden gem in that voice!!
This is a great song and your voice is beautiful for it!
The pace of this tutorial is great, it's perfect to follow rightaway. And I love the strumming, it's so simple but sounds so much more special!
Also I'd definitely love to see more bloopers in the future 😁
Luisa aww Luisa, thank you!!! You’re seriously the so so kind. Always giving out compliments.
The strumming definitely adds A LOT to the song and is really simple. Hope to hear you cover this song on your insta story ;)
Love the hints on fingering and transitioning between chords.
I love your simple but easy style. You are an inspiration and lovely too!
Love this! I feel like I’m really learning with your videos! One request… putting the full song visuals up together at the end so we can pause and play. It seems like all the tabs I find have different cords but I like your version the best so far. Easy to play and follow along. Thank you!
It is always a pleasure practising with you. Youve got a talent to be a teacher.
Wow, thank you Patrick!
It feels like forever since we chatted :)
Got caught up on things and did not have time to practice as I used to. But I am back ;) ... hope to see you with some epic song. It would be lovely if you could do a strumming pattern in conjunction with fingerpicking style.... just a thought. 😉🙃
You are my favourite teacher! One, two, ready - GO 🎶
Thank you Mrs Bernadette!!! Very good video.😃
Thank you for teaching this, it has really helped my daughter improve on her ukulele. Again thank you so much. Also the PIVOT was HILARIOUS
Your the best teacher.thank you.
Very nice tutorial , very easy and using a nice methodology . Thank you very much from a ICT Spanish teacher.
In seven days I will have a populele and I will see all your lessons you are amazing 👏👏👏
I already play guitar so I reckon I've got a start for learning ukelele (I'm getting one for my birthday in a few weeks). You are so clear and encouraging, I'm sure I'll be average in no time :)
You make it very easy to learn thank you very much
You are just the best! Between the easy version video, this one and the left hand chuck short video, I can break this song down into several skills and then put them back together and build it back up into the complete song. So 😎 cool! Patreon member forever! ❤
Thank you. Love your teaching, clear and structured.
Thank you so much!
I love your good spirit and motivation ❤
well explained and demonstrated thankyou
Thanks for the "angle up" advise. Really helped!
Kamu sangat hebat, mengajarkan dengan perlahan dan sanga jelas.. aku sangat kagum.. keren sekali.. aku belajar ukulele dari kamu
I tried playing it with three different teachers so far. Lol you all teach it differently . I like all of the tutorials
Can you describe more about the choice of arrangement of A-D-E vs the other videos that typically use C-F-G for this piece on ukulele?
Hi Andrew! 👋
Most people use C F G on their videos because it works. I went with A D E because it is the chord progression used on the original song. Whenever possible, I try to teach songs in the same key as the original song.
What do you think? Would an easier version be better?
Thanks, I am so glad I tried this wonderful lesson ! A & D, are working but "E" eludes me ! Time to take a break, trim the finger nail on the "pinky" finger. Then put some Aspercreme on my hands because they ache so much ! The little percussive "chuck" has got me hooked ! I can't wait to have a song to play on my little ukulele ! Harpinhankhogan
Your ukulele and this song is so cute, thanks for teaching the way how to play easier. Have a cool day !
"you can do this" coming from you helps me a lot ☺️
hi Bernadete, you are grate teacher!!! you turn my lessons to another level. thanks so much
I enjoy playing this song. The difficult part for me is chord E, my index finger does not feel comfortable. I'm trying to curve the fingers more. Thank you,.have learned a lot from you .
Super Complicated, lol. Once I pick up a uke your teaching me lol. Right now I got the ubass. Been playing bass since high school. Got back into playing recently with the ubass. And will picking up a uke soon. Your awesome, can’t wait.
Bernadette,
Love this song and thank you for your help in playing this - I must keep practicing
Great videos
