    Thanks for this and all the tutorials, brother! I also appreciate the album rec. Moving out looks pretty complex but I'd love to see you teach that one

    Thanks Tyler. I am now a supporter. I don't always have time to practice but this Billy Joel song inspired me to support you. You put a smile on my face when I try the songs on Sundays.

      +Laverne Clark I am so happy to hear that and I am forever grateful to you for your generosity. It's comments like these that keep me motivated to keep on moving forward and doing the best I can to help share my love for music. Knowing that you, and other Tenthumbers are smiling on Saturday keeps me wanting to do better and bigger things. Your support will also help me to spread the love to other places, communities and zones of the world that can benefit from the Ukulele. Thank you so much and I promise to do my absolute best to help you as much as I can in your musical journey.

    You're the BEST Ukulele teacher on UA-cam!! Thank you for always posting very accurate renditions of songs, and not taking short cuts to make it easier! I'd rather it take me more time to learn, but get it right, than make it easier, just to learn it faster!

    • @TenThumbsProductions

      Bam! That is how we do it. It makes my job a lot more fun if I get to really get into the song, haha. Thanks Bianca, keep on playing friend!

    Another amazing video - thanks for putting in the work! My friends are always so surprised when I share with them I've learned the uke almost exclusively from your videos! This vid and the Marvin Gaye have been a blast with these new(for me) strum patterns.

      +Brian Bahreman Excellent man, the Ukulele is a groove machine for sure. I had a lot of fun with this Billy Joel song, too. Fantastic compliment and cheers, thanks for watching Brian.

    Hey, this song sounds good on uke! Wow, incredibly thorough tutorial my man, thank you. I looked at this song and said, oh five chords, how hard can it be?? But yeah, you're right, its all about the rhythm. Its challenging, but Billy Joel is a great songwriter, singer, performer. He really knows how to build a song.

    • @TenThumbsProductions

      +Rudy Ramirez Jr I couldn't agree more about Billy Joel. If you don't have strangers in the catalog you should buy that one for sure. This song is a total groove machine, too and I had so much fun learning how to play it on the Ukulele. I still can't think of any other songs, even more so the chorus, that starts with a rest on the first beat. So much fun!

    • @rudyramirezjr2309
      @rudyramirezjr2309 9 років тому

      +TenThumbs Productions Yeah, Billy Joel was really clever, especially yeah with that rest at the beginning of the chorus. I have and listened to all of his albums, Strangers is awesome. I wonder how Just The Way You Are would sound on uke, probably sound nice with some finger picking.

    • @TenThumbsProductions
      @TenThumbsProductions  9 років тому

      Dude, I learned that one when I was learning this one, too. I also gave a run at Anthony's Song but that was a little trickier.

    This is so great!!! Thank you so much! Having trouble singing along to the chorus, but I'm determined to get it and my playing of this song sounds so much better already thanks to your video! My family thanks you, too. Haha!

    • @TenThumbsProductions
      @TenThumbsProductions  8 років тому

      +Lucie Hager That changes on this video are crazy it is a tricky one to sing and gets my all tripped up, but it is a great song. This whole album is crazy good, Strangers is probably my favorite Billy Joel record.

    Do you think you could make a tutorial on the song Lambada? I've tried putting it together with fingerpicking but haven't been able to figure out the whole song. Thanks! (:

    • @TenThumbsProductions
      @TenThumbsProductions  9 років тому

      +lilkyootepi I have never heard of it, who sings it? I will give it a listen.

    • @lilkyootepi
      @lilkyootepi 9 років тому

      +TenThumbs Productions Thanks for replying! The origin is unknown to me, but the most popular version is by Kaoma, a french pop group from the late 80's. I was inspired to learn it on the ukulele because of a youtuber's fingerstyle cover on it on his guitar (igor presnyakov).

    • @TenThumbsProductions
      @TenThumbsProductions  3 роки тому +1

      This was a format I was experimenting with when I published this video in 2015 and to be honest I should have posted the chords and the lyrics. Sorry.

      Can you do more Billy Joel with your new format then?
