It's a Christmas miracle Ms.B. The tough chords were easy, the new strange felt true. Only three replay's this time, and I sound (almost) as musical as you. Ya, this is curious, the song seemed to flow, my fingers are growing brains, thought you may like to know. I think it's your attitude, your positive glow. All I can say is, THANK YOU, for helping make it so.
Miss your singing. Get well soon Mrs. B. The chords were really nice. I like to play diminished chords. They all sounds mellow mushy and calm. Thank you for making tutorials and teaching us beautiful songs every day. Bye.
mushy and calm is so right. I might have to use that ❤️❤️❤️ Sorry I haven't been singing... I've been super sick the past few days and I'm still recovering 😭😭
Great job Bernadette Teaches!!!!!!!))) I like the way you are playing the melody I think that helps you to feel your cord changes and it is like playing with someone!!!!!)))☃️☃️☃️🎄🎄🎄👍🏼🎅
The lesson part was recorded yesterday and the intro was recorded today. That's why I have a grey t-shirt in the intro/ending and not in the lesson 😂😂 my mistake.
This is a classic! I appreciate that you give us new chords to learn and push us to do challenging things all the time. It's true, it makes us play better and keeps the interest going. Thanks Ms. B! 👍👍👍
I am so excited to try this challenge. I think it will be very fun to try out. Thank you so much. It might take me some time too master it but at least I think I will have fun with it.😁. Thank you again!
I bought myself a uke, on a whim, two days ago, and you’ve been a great teacher! Thanks for this song-I work with a 94-year old lady who will be elated when I show her what I learned this evening!
My favorite Christmas song from my favorite teacher and thank you for the pep talk at the end -very inspirational-can’t wait for the next one, good night Ms B
Hey it's me! I haven't been watching your videos lately because of school , etc. I was only a silent subscriber. I'm glad that I'm back 😂 ... Keep doing what you love~❤️ . Liked your video 😁👍
I was going through all the songs in the printable and started playing this one when I saw the C#dim and thought what on earth is this?? But it's a much simpler chord than the name suggests 😄 This is definitely gonna take the longest to learn tho. I really love your energy in these videos, it's contagious ❤️🙌🏼
I knew that C#dim would make everyone gasp at first but it really is A LOT easier than the name suggests :) Have fun learning this one. Tomorrow's will be much easier just to keep things balanced 😘😘
Hi Luisa. Me too. I saw the C#dim and did a silent scream before seeing what an easy chord it was. Nice talking to you on Instagram about your uke earlier this evening (Mazzajax)
Interesting chords on this songs. Very well explained. Challenging to play, but keep at it, everyone. You'll have it down soon :) Ms. B worked very hard on this video. Learn this song and make her proud.. I love this new style of video where you have the melody playing onscreen while you play the chords. It really helps to better understand what chords are being played underneath the melody and also the duration of each chord. Videos are getting better and better :) Nice shirt :)
I promise I will always persist until I learn the harder songs! I'm eager to keep improving! I've been playing Fm on another song or two and I like the sound of that chord.
Bit of trivia. There's a sad story connected to the creation of this song. Irvin Berlin wrote it after the death of his child. Nevertheless, we have been left with one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever.
"Christmas was a painful time for Irving Berlin and his second wife, Ellin Mackay, who found their infant son dead in his bassinet early Christmas morning in 1928. Although he was Jewish, Irving grew up celebrating the holiday by sneaking off to his neighbor's house to enjoy the festivities. His daughter, Mary Ellin, told Mark Steyn: "My father believed in the secular American Christmas. There's a lot of controversy about that, about whether there should be, apart from the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, a general festive celebration that anyone can join in with." Source: Song Meanings.
Alright, you pushed me and cheers to you. It was challenging and fun at the same time. Fm is my new chord for the day, but I did have to look at your chord chart for some of the other fingering. I might have to play at a slower speed and work my way up once I have all the chords and transitions down. I really enjoy the video's and am looking forward to the next one.
Yay!!! Glad I pushed you and glad you rose to the occasion! These past two tutorials you've been stretching your hand to do new things. That is AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️
You always seem to find ways to improve your tutorials! I adoree this song! I would love to record and post some Christmas covers, but I am so busy right now. I’ll see what will happen.
Great video Ms B. You're also a great motivator and it's easy to see you really care about your students and people in general. A very genuine person. Nice to see... Merry Christmas
I just watched the movie "White Christmas " over the weekend! I'm going 2 practice this song & try 2 learn a few new notes!!!! Thank you for this challenge, it's a very beautiful song! ! ! Luv ya always, Latonya Renee Williamson
Hi Ms. B.... I got an idea for you... What if you make fingerstyle challenge for your next project...? Would reaaalllllyyyyy love it... 😁🤗 I'm a beginner, and i found fingerstyle very challenging... I thought maybe you could break it down for beginners like me to know where to start with it... Thx a lot Ms. B...! 😉🤗
Ah ha ha ha! I have a stinking cold too! Everything is blurry and so, no, today I don't strum. I did watch and enjoy all the way to the end though, but I the only thing I'm reaching for is tissues lol. It looks good though... going back to bed.... blegh!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic ugh... it's 01.05 am... I've just finished watching your 12 days of Christmas vid... and I'm a slug 🤧 Thank you so much for caring! That makes me feel a lil better, but I'm going back to bed now lol BLEGH!
Absolutely! Like you indicate in this lesson, if you aren't challenging yourself, you aren't learning. Besides, your play along at the end of each lesson makes an excellent backing track. You truly do provide something for everyone Bernie; you are deeply appreciated.
I watched till the end of your video and you are such an encouraging and motivating teacher. I've just started learning and playing uke for like a few weeks, and been watching your videos ever since. Thank you for putting so much effort into it and always encouraging beginners like me.
My favourite Christmas song! I love learning new ways to switch between chords and I definitely pushed my self a bit, but made it through. Keep them coming!
Sorry if it seems like I haven't been here the last few days, I have, but only long enough to learn the song and back out the door. In fact I am going out in a few minutes for a gig tonight. Loving the songs, Love the tutorials and the wonderful pace of them all. Hope you are enjoying the east coast experience. Maryland is usually quite beautiful this time of year, and can only be more so with you there. Cheers!!
I just played this through to the end!!! Eek! Had a bit of a fumble on the ending but will keep practicing. I bought my first ukulele just about 3 months ago, as challenge to learn something new in my 50s. Íve played piano for 45+ years (I am so old!! Lol) so the music part I know, but learning the tabs, and chords and getting my fingers to do what i want is the challenge. But I love the ukulele....such a great instrument to learn, and you can sound like a musician with just a few chords. Bernadette you have a great teaching style, and your videos are paced well. I feel like I have my own personal teacher with me. Thank You! Merry Christmas 🎄
I started playing at the beginning of the quarantine. I learned some of the easy songs pretty quickly and have been caught in a rut not learning anything new. This song was definitely a challenge for me but it has long been one of my favorite Christmas songs so I am going to keep working on it. Thank you for teaching so slowly and patiently. I would love to learn "O Holy Night" too, but the only tutorials I saw of that song were far too difficult. This song was just the right amount of challenge. :)
I started playing ukulele in september and I learned everything through you. I am so beyond happy and thankful that you do thiiiis. ❤️ Ps: I'm super exited bc I made it through this song without mistakeees
You’re welcome and yes, you can call me Steve. I have really enjoyed your tutorials and your style of teaching. As I had mentioned before, you remind me of my music teacher when I was young. And that is a good thing. 😁
Another great video. Just curious, I can't remember from my school days how to read the music sheets, have you got a video showing how to decipher it all? :D
I was going to ask the same think! I decided to learn the Ukulele to learn more about music, but there is not a lot of videos about those basic things.... A great idea for a video, don't you think? btw I tell everyone you're my Ukulele teacher! You created the best channel for those who are looking to really learn and improve, it's definetely more challenging than any other and that's amazing. Thank you ❤️
WOW, what a gorgeous Ukulele!!!!!!!! Hm🤔this song is going to be a wonderful challenge! But i looooooove it!!!! I promise i will commit to memory that C#dim!!! (promise, promise)......Thanks “Coach”!! Going to Zzzzz now😴😴😴.....Looking forward to attempting this song🎶🎶🎶. *Could u remind us occassionally re keeping our fretting fingernails short........My sister just started watching u.....and she thinks her nails are short but they aren’t😂😂😂......Thanks “Coach”!
OK, I'm 3 years behind (I just started playing uke in September), but I am really enjoying this series. Just like you asked, I learned some new chords with this song. This is a nice song, but I can't stop playing Feliz Navidad.
Very beautiful and efficient tutorial, which suits very well to me !!! Thank You very much and... Merry Christmas, dear Bernadette ! from eastern France !
Thank you Very Merry Much Queen Bee 🐝! You should have a designer 👩🎨Queen B Ukes! Anyways I just wanted to say last year Chords like C# diminished and Fm were like NEXT song please! Lol 😂 anyways now 1 year later I don't mind taking on any chord or chord progression I feel will improve my budding musicality. I even teach Ukulele now to beginners! I'm looking forward to more Funtastic tutorials and hopefully you'll do more videos with the Baritone Ukulele. Just saying..... You're the Queen of Sheen! Joy is your SuperPower and it's Contagious! Happy Holidays always! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾💯💯💯💯
Time is my biggest problem. I will work on it. Right now I consider 100 very fast. Please do a good slow tutorial like this on “over the river and through the woods.” Thank you.
Thank you for these amazing videos! Loved this challenge (it still is very much of a challenge for me, I will go practice after I write this!). Thank you so so much! Christmas season 2019!
Pleasently surprised !!! I made it first time, little choppy but by the end of the day i am sure i will play it better. You were right, when i saw C#dim i was kinda scared. THANK YOU
This one clicked for me, big time! I knew the Fm chord from Daniel by Elton John and the C# dim from God Only knows by the Beach Boys so that probably helped. :)
I love the F minor sound! Especially because I kept playing D minor accidentally and kept thinking this doesn’t sound right 🤔.... than I learned F minor
C# dim will be mastered in a day or two. Fm will take some hand stretching/yoga and a few more days to master. Both can be under your belt by this time next week ❤️❤️❤️
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Yeah, I got the C#dim fairly quickly. But I just keep blanking on the chord formation of the Fm. More drills will do the trick.

M. Writer yes! Really fun chords and chord progression to try here!!

Thank you, Tami!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Glad you like those metronome suggestions. It helps with practice!
Great song Ms B... so much fun!!! Hello c#dim!!
Thank you, Kris!!!
You can do this new chord. It's funky and so close to the head of the uke, but totally doable :)
It is challenging on some chords , like you mention indeed it is good to learn more 😍❄
they will be easy for you in a week as long as you practice every day!
I DID IT!!! I’M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
TERRY!!! ❤️❤️❤️ WOOOHOOO!!!!

Bit of trivia. There's a sad story connected to the creation of this song. Irvin Berlin wrote it after the death of his child. Nevertheless, we have been left with one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever.

Do a cover on thank u, next. Fantastic video.
Beauty of colors is “thank u, next” a song?
Alright, you pushed me and cheers to you. It was challenging and fun at the same time. Fm is my new chord for the day, but I did have to look at your chord chart for some of the other fingering. I might have to play at a slower speed and work my way up once I have all the chords and transitions down. I really enjoy the video's and am looking forward to the next one.
Yay!!! Glad I pushed you and glad you rose to the occasion! These past two tutorials you've been stretching your hand to do new things. That is AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️

After watching this tutorial, I was thinking "It's time to watch that movie!"

YES. Groovy is the perfect way to describe it!!
I really wish it would snow in Texas
Move to the East Coast!!! It has snowed here already!! ❤️❤️
Aww lucky last year it snowed in Texas

Pleasently surprised !!! I made it first time, little choppy but by the end of the day i am sure i will play it better. You were right, when i saw C#dim i was kinda scared. THANK YOU
❤️❤️❤️ I knew you could do it, even if it was a little choppy!!!
I did it!!
:: high fives everyone ::

I prefer the more challenging ones...nicely done...how about doing the Ramones Merry Christmas...I dont want to fight tonight...and make it your own
Todays' is much more challenging. The chords are easy, but the changes are on funky beats and are pretty quick. I hope you like it! ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastique j'adoore👏👏
Bernadette are the back tracks available for your patrons? I love this!!!
Love the tutorial!
Thank you, Maymay!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh dear! I am getting cocky! LOL!!!!!! I am loving this xxxxxxxx
This one clicked for me, big time! I knew the Fm chord from Daniel by Elton John and the C# dim from God Only knows by the Beach Boys so that probably helped. :)
Like the pattern of the lesson 😊
Oh yeah? Why is that? ❤️❤️❤️
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic there's lots of chords to learn and you are providing us new chords at a time, its not stressful 😁
Im just sad i wasn't able fix my uke and missing all the lessons
couldnt play this last year but this year - it was much easier.
Ps. I was in a Christmas vibe. I was listening to Enya singing Silent Night....In Celtic! OMG.... People, you MUST hear it!!!!
I've been in a Christmasy vibe too!!! Listening to the live playlists here on UA-cam and eating all the chocolate!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I've been munching all the chocolate as well lol
Yep! I made chocolate chip cookies!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Today I bought a couple of yard long (3 ft?) box of Jaffa Cake biscuits (cookies). Omg I bought 6 feet worth of biscuits.....
Aww man I'm sick too
❤️❤️❤️ feel better soon
I love the F minor sound! Especially because I kept playing D minor accidentally and kept thinking this doesn’t sound right 🤔.... than I learned F minor
Looks like Fm will be my chord to master. Although, my C#dim can use some work too since I don't have that one memorized.
C# dim will be mastered in a day or two.
Fm will take some hand stretching/yoga and a few more days to master. Both can be under your belt by this time next week ❤️❤️❤️
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Yeah, I got the C#dim fairly quickly. But I just keep blanking on the chord formation of the Fm. More drills will do the trick.
Is that your sanshin im hearing?
ahh no :) it's just the laptop replaying a computerized version of a ukulele 🤗🤗
Can you play tremolo piece on ukulele?
