If you're stuck, what I do is strum on the down strum and pick the note/string on the upstrum. So down strum, pick(up), downstrum, pick(up) etc. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for this! Last June, my wife walked down the aisle to this song on guitar played by a friend and I was hoping to learn it on the uke by our anniversary, and you've made that possible. The ease with which you teach gives me confidence and your techniques are readily approachable. I don't pretend to have your skill, but thanks to you my wife enjoys listening to me play and she even sings along! I'm so excited to get started making progress on this song! Thank you again!
This is great. When I started I thought I would never get the hang of finger picking, but after two weeks I can keep up with John so long as I set it to 75% speed. Thanks John!
10 months ago I tried to learn this song the *day* I got my ukulele. I had never been more overwhelmed!! But now, after learning the basic chords. And understanding picking, and strumming. I’M FINALLY GETTING IT!! *THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!!*
I'm gonna learn this song for my mom's birthday because it's her favorite beatles song. I know nobody cares but I thought I would just tell everybody anyway.
I’m confused. How do you properly do the part with D, when you’re strumming and fingerpicking at the same time? It looks cool, but I’m not sure I’m doing it right. 😐
@Alyssa LEMMIS thanks for this! The confusing bit for me is that he says he is only playing the two top strings in one bit, but then he says he continues strumming, does he mean strumming all the strings? Thats where Im stuck..any ideas?
This is such a great tutorial. I used it to learn this song for my cousin's wedding. I became a Patreon to get the sheet music and now I teach it to my ukulele students. So great. Thank you for this resource.
I purchased a ukulele 2 years ago, and got discouraged and frustrated when I couldn't learn how to play using other tutorials. I recently rediscovered it, found your channel, and learned this song and bare necessities in less that 2 days. You're an amazing teacher, and I love playing my ukulele. Thank you so much!
I just wanted to say that you're a great guy and thank you so much for getting me back into playing the ukulele! I started playing in the 3rd grade when our teacher gave us the opportunity to buy ourselves a ukulele and he would teach us how to play. I really enjoyed it, but after not being in the same class years after, I got bored and stopped playing it. 5 years later, I came across a few of your videos and you motivated me to pick my ukulele back up and play again! I feel so at peace when I'm playing it, and I'm so thankful for you teaching us all of these awesome songs! THANKS AGAIN, I love you, you da real MVP!
Today's my birthday and I said that this song's gonna be the song of my year, and that I'm gonna learn it on the ukulele, and after an hour that I said that you just happened to upload this!! Crazy! Thank you!!
you explained it so well, you showed how to play it very thoroughly and made it really easy even for me who is hopeless at fingerpicking! Thank you SO much for your time and effort!
thanks but do u know how to describe it without me having to watch the vid cause that just makes it harder like i have down the part where he's like "do a g but put your pinky here and lift your middle finger up, then strum 1,2,3 pinky up 1,2,3 first finger up 1,2,3 first finger down, 1,2,3" then i dont know what to do after that
hey you might've already made a video about this but, could you make one in how to do the whole strum and plucking at the same time thing? it's really confusing for me but I really wanna get it down pack.
Hold the D chord and move your ring finger/add your pinky finger to be on the correct fret for the plucking he described but keep the first two fingers in place. Then just first practice strumming down for each of these notes. So technically he is just strumming the chord but he his just changing one note in the chord (the second string to be the plucking notes) and changing the speed and rhythm of his strumming to sound like he is plucking. Does this make sense?
AJ ya yesterday it was so hard and iv been practicing all day and I almost have it all done I learned to never be intimidated by how hard it sounds cuss honestly it was one easiest tutorials I’ve seen just for some reason dmaj is so hard for me to do lol
Oh my goodness, I am SSSOOO happy that I found this! Thank you so much Uke Teacher, I have been wanting to play this for the longest time but have never been able to figure it out or find a good tutorial! I am SUPER excited right now!!! This was fun and easy to learn!
I woke up early this morning and felt I couldn't breathe from covid19 anxiety, grabbed my uke, quickly found your tutorial and was able to get my mind off of bad things. Been playing it all day. Thanks for that.
Thank you very much, Uketeacher. IT's the first time I play an instrument and your tutorials are simple precious! So far I did huge of progress! Bless you!
Can you please explain EXACTLY what finger or thumb is strumming and which finger is picking on the D chord in the verse? And what parts are happening on the downstroke and what on the upstroke? Are you strumming with your thumb on the downstroke and then hitting the single note on the upstroke with your index finger, but also strumming with your thumb as part of the upstroke? Just not enough information on that very difficult part. Thank you!
And is the fingerpicking in that part out of sync with the strumming? I'm trying to play downstroke chord, upstroke pick the string using my index finger but I don't know if that's right or if my ring finger and pinkie need to be plucking notes independently while my index finger strums at a different pace.
Glad to see a tutorial for this classic Beatles song! I've only been learning Ukulele for a week and your tutorials are definitely....DA BEST! Thanks, John! Keep it up
I just picked up a uke that I was given as a Christmas gift 45 years ago ( and never touched) . thanks for the easy and inspiring lesson. Note to those looking for the tabs: go to the ukulele teacher facebook page and scroll to may 2016.
oh, I love this! thank you a lot for this great tutorial, it helped me so much. I can figure out the chords and the strumming pattern myself, but I was struggling with the finger picking stuff, so this was very helpful. I'd actually love you to do more of that kind of stuff.
I like the way you do you tutorials now: it's much more easier now cuz now experienced players can just play along with you in the beginning but also there is always an opportunity to watch a detailed tutorial! Great job man, learned lots of song with your help :D
thanks so much! I had my friend play this as i walked down the aisle(beach_ to my wedding. Now I can learn it. Its my favorite, we'd had some hard times with health and my husband to be was finally well.
Thank you SO much for taking the time and teaching us this magnificent song in such a way that all learning styles can access it! You are a very good teacher!
You move up frets so 3 is the second string on the 3rd fret, 2 is the second string on the 2nd fret and open is nothing pressed down, you just pluck the string
@@lanna3752 so when you're holding the ukulele, we're working with the string one up from the bottom- for the second part of the riff you'll put your finger on the 3rd fret and pluck, then the second fret and pluck, no fingers on the neck and pluck, then put your finger back on the second fret and pluck
Yours is the best tutorial for this song! All the others are confusing or the fingerpicking doesn't sound like the song. Thanks so much! Will probably take me about 2 weeks to get right though!
Thank you so much for uploading this, I've been looking all over the Internet for the plucking pattern and usually it always confuses me but this made it seem very simple! 😊☀️
Your tutorials are amazing, thank you so much! You have inspired me to be able to do something I never thought I could do. I bought a Uke during lockdown and have been practising hard since April 8th. I spent lockdown alone and found it really hard. You really helped man, so thank you! Keep up the awesome work!!
Could you please make a video going more in depth for the strumming while fingerpicking parts? Im quite confused
If you're stuck, what I do is strum on the down strum and pick the note/string on the upstrum. So down strum, pick(up), downstrum, pick(up) etc. Hope that helps!

Seriously...
you explained it so well, you showed how to play it very thoroughly and made it really easy even for me who is hopeless at fingerpicking! Thank you SO much for your time and effort!
I don't know what "3 2 open" means when you are explaining the second half of the second riff
can someone help
watch his how to read tab video it will give you an idea of what that means
thanks but do u know how to describe it without me having to watch the vid cause that just makes it harder like i have down the part where he's like "do a g but put your pinky here and lift your middle finger up, then strum 1,2,3 pinky up 1,2,3 first finger up 1,2,3 first finger down, 1,2,3" then i dont know what to do after that
Sammyv12345 well im sorry i dont really know how to explain it i learned from the yousician app and his video gave me bit of an understanding im sorry
First put your finger on the third "partitioning" of the ukulele then on the second and then on none , thats why he says 3-2-open
This song always makes me smile
hey you might've already made a video about this but, could you make one in how to do the whole strum and plucking at the same time thing? it's really confusing for me but I really wanna get it down pack.
that was by far the hardest part.
@@DaTensay yeah i cant even do it i have no idea how
Hold the D chord and move your ring finger/add your pinky finger to be on the correct fret for the plucking he described but keep the first two fingers in place.

Does this make sense?
Thanks for this tutorial! I’m a beginner, but after about a month of practice, I’m making some really good progress with learning this song!
this song is so lovely, whenever I listen to it I can't help but smile
Finally a man that can teach, really appreciate it , I have been trying to learn this for months and then you come along cheers.
Easy ukulele tutorial... huh
it is easy, but you have to already have some experience in the ukulele .
Doris Karic Ik lol I was like god dam😂
It’s really easy if you choose to not do the riffs. But even then the riffs aren’t that difficult with some practice.
AJ ya yesterday it was so hard and iv been practicing all day and I almost have it all done I learned to never be intimidated by how hard it sounds cuss honestly it was one easiest tutorials I’ve seen just for some reason dmaj is so hard for me to do lol

At 5:58 i am rlly confused, what notes while picking string 2 and 3
Ava Shawn same
You move up frets so 3 is the second string on the 3rd fret, 2 is the second string on the 2nd fret and open is nothing pressed down, you just pluck the string
@@lanna3752 so when you're holding the ukulele, we're working with the string one up from the bottom- for the second part of the riff you'll put your finger on the 3rd fret and pluck, then the second fret and pluck, no fingers on the neck and pluck, then put your finger back on the second fret and pluck

Can someone explain what chords he is playing when he says "play three notes on the second string" around 6:00?
Sophie P it’s the your middle finger and you go to the third notch down, then second, then open, which means u don’t have ur finger on it.
