This song sounds absolutely AMAZING with all the E7,A7,D7,C7 notes !!!!!! FMAJ7 is my favorite one too !!!!! It's so beautiful & very challenging!!! Thank you 4 teaching me ukulele 🎹 🎼 & sharing music with the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luv ya always, Latonya Renee Williamson
Ahhh!!! I'm so glad you like that Fmaj7 chord!! I didn't know what you all would think about it, but I'm glad we are using more of the ukulele fingerboard, you know?! 🤗❤️🎄
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic yes ! I really appreciate using the fingerboard! ! I've never played the FMAJ7, but it was so FUN to learn more about the ukulele 🎹 🎼! & it's awesome to impress my family & friends! I'm like look what I can do now !! 7th chords made this song incredibly F U N !!! Luv ya always, Latonya Renee Williamson (luv every challenge, running around my house singing, FMAJ7, FMAJ7, LOL ) !!!!!
Absolutely agree, Edward! These Christmas songs have unique chords and chord progressions. I'm really happy that we can experiment too 🤗❤️🎄glad you are loving it as much as I am!
What to wear when sitting warm inside? Mmm, seeing a gentle snowfall blanketing the earth thru a frosted window, hugging a mug of hot chocolate all snuggled up with a cat, I think it would be heartwarming to wear a cottony cozy "Will Uke for Cats" t-shirt, learning along with my ukulele. This song has amazingly wonderful chords Ms.B. The 7 type/style chords sound sweet and warm. I don't know how to explain it, they just sound so "hopeful". That tip to leave our first finger free, on the Fmaj7, to ease the transition to Em was just the ticket. First time meeting Dm7!! Love Dm7's sound, have found a new friend, thanks for the introduction Ms.B. Quite the challenging song, which is rather appropriate, as we are happily learning along with your 12 Days of Christmas Challenge. Happy Hot chocolate days with strawberries & chocolate Fondue nights Ms.B.
Hey ❤️🤗❤️ Glad you welcomed this challenge :) lots of new chords and hand movements, but just think of how much better you are getting and how many skills we are gaining as a community!
Day 10 woo hoo, we have an ugly sweater party we are hosting, and will be having a jam session with a guitarist friend and singalong. I might not have them all completely down but will be playing/strumming them all. Thank you so much for all you do we love you❤❤❤👐👐
Bernadette Teaches Music yes!!! Your welcome I’m so thankful that you make these videos I would probably be terrible at ukulele if it wasn’t for you I’m sure you work so hard and it’s truly amazing thank you so much merry Christmas 🎄 I hope you have a great one !!! ❤️🧡❤️
That was a tricky but beautiful rendition! I admit that when we hit the "Faithful friends who are dear to us" section, my eyes bugged out a little and I got a little sweat mustache. haha! It's one of my favorite Christmas songs because it's such a bittersweet melody. Will practice hard for this one since Christmas is next week! Omg :-)
Terry Hendrix “I got a little sweat mustache” 😂😂😂 Oh Terry, how you cracked me up!!!! The next song will be easy to give everyone time to finish this one. You’ve got this!!! ❤️
Wow! I have never played that song before and had no idea how busy that rascal is. Of course I played in on the bass first but I had to grab a uke too because I didn't want to miss out on the fun. You have made my morning Bernie, and I did this lesson while still on my first cup of coffee, LOL...
Hey Bill!! I had never played this song either!! It took me two and a half days to make the score for it... there were just so many chords and different things happening at once! Hope you liked it 🤗❤️🎄 it certainly took me more than 1 cup of coffee to get this one
Bernie, I loved your score (all of them actually), it is perfect! I know how time consuming writing scores can be; I just spent several days scoring BB King's Blues Lead Licks for "The Thrill is Gone" for the Ukulele and then I added the Bass and chords too. If you are into Blues I will be happy to email it to you, I put it in the key of "Am" so the progression is super easy on the uke! I am actually playing that rascal now by playing the progression into my Boss RC-1 Looper, letting it loop the playing the lead licks (live) over the loops. I am certainly not BB King material but I am content, LOL... Blues on the uke sound pretty good too! Your lessons are certainly keeping me motivated so thanks a bunch for what you do on your channel!
GREAT TUTORIAL “COACH”!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, you’re right......ALOT happening in this song🎶🎶. (Love the choice options re the chords - gives the viewer more confidence that “I can play this”😀.) I looooove, love, love the E7 chord......Many 7th chords in this song🎶 (Just did the watch-along).....Looking forward to the Play-along🎸🎸🎸. ***Love your red-plaid flannel shirt......Hope 🎯 Target has one left😂.....Wanna get one! Thanks “Coach”!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!
Bernadette Teaches Music - Wow, i have a deeper Appreciation for this Song🎶🎶🎶. So pretty! Delightful to play🥰🥰🥰 Thank you “Coach”! PLAYALONG went really well - choppy at first.......Love the flexibility of chord options😍. Really Apprediate this tutorial!!! Great Job “Coach”!😀
Ooh, this one turned out to be really fun to play!! I think the Fmaj7 sounds pretty and just right. Thank you, Bernadette! For me, the hardest part is hitting the Dm7 -- if I don't position my hand just so, then I struggle to get my pinky finger to hold down the bottom string. It's a little surprising because Dm is easy and familiar...so, what's a little pinky action, right?? Nope...so awkward, LOL. But, surely, practice will build up the strength and muscle memory needed to hit it every time, on time. Onward, I go! :)
YES!!! I COMPLETELY relate with that Dm7!!!! When I started recording the video I stumbled on that chord and had to re-film!! 😂😂😂 I had to change the angle of the ukulele a bit and force my hand to think ahead because of that pinky!! That's why I said we can replace Dm7 with Dm... I wanted to make sure everyone had the option to play this song and easier way! 🤗❤️🎄
Whoop, whoop! Another one done! Soooooo much practice to do. Bernadette, thank you so much for all your time putting this tutorial together. It is really appreciated.
This is one cool song. I have seen several Jazzy versions of this song played on the guitar. Now I get it why. So many 7th chords :D Great explanation and editing work as always. And I love this shirt :)
I thought i will not learn how to play, bec I'm already 50 yrs old, but through you 30days challenge, i was able to learn. Although its kinda hard but I keep on practising. THANK U SO MUCH!
Watching this in my break at work...no ukulele near and no chance to learn this one...cannot wait to go home and get started...very addictive your tutorials and the presentation is as always superb,..love the fact that you read all the comments and even respond to most of them,..you keep it real and informative yet entertaining, of course looking like a past winner from the miss Mexico contest doesn't hurt either...hahaha..but seriously...you are muy guapa and you and Jose make a handsome couple!! Take care dear friend...hugs from a snow covered Holland!
Hey!!! 🤗❤️🎄 Hope you were able to practice this when you got home! The chords in this one are super interesting and are a great opportunity for all of us to branch away from 4-chord songs. Thank you for the sweet compliments! I always have fun getting ready for these videos and always want to look my best for my UA-cam students
Wow! Nice. I really like he cords in this. Wonderful progressions. Oddly enough, the cord that always gives me trouble is the Em. Don’t know why, it just always catches me off guard....
It's always a jump going to Em, so it's challenging. I had to re-shoot parts because Em would catch me off guard and it feels different when played on a soprano ukulele. You are not alone!! 🤗❤️🎄
It’s funny that you have an amazing taste in music and you’re an excellent teacher the best clearly but can you please please cover this song called “Last Christmas- Wham! Please I know everything here loves it
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you, your hubby and family! I enjoyed your Christmas challenge and especially this song with lots of interesting chord changes. Thank you for making it a happier year for me. : ) Take care and God bless.
I have been absent for a few videos, sorry! I love this so song so much and it is quite a challenge compared to the other songs. I learned some new chords as well! I noticed that you changed the outro song, it sounds great!
Hi Van!!! 🤗❤️🎄 I figured you were busy with school and family but we definitely missed you! Glad you learned a few chords with this one. The new outro song was made by Cole! He just sent it to me last night and I HAD to use it :)
Hi Caroline! I have a music notation software that plays back what I've put into it. I make the printables for these videos using it and now I'm using it on the videos.

Although its kinda hard but I keep on practising. THANK U SO MUCH!

How perfect can you be?!💙
Can you play the guitar? 😃
