I am a senior lady and I really enjoyed your 12 song tutorial, and I felt like I got a lot out of that. I thought I could only play old fashioned songs, but these are quite contemporary. Thank you for leading me to this realisation. ❤️💐
Hi, I was surrounded by music, n wanted 2 learn piano, violin but gave up due 2 lack of time n $, instead gave my daughter the opportunity, she plays piano ( drove me to nearly strangulation stage, as she didn't want 2 practice)😂 , guitar, drums Anyway, now @ 68 I fell in love with the Uke and I'm determined to get my act together 😅 I ❤ ❤❤ yr video, it's simple, you get straight, into it , no BS. Thank you
I grew up playing classical violin but couldn’t grasp chords because it’s so different when you grow up reading sheet music. I practiced with you the last few days and I could hear the same chords in the music on radio it was almost like the ukulele was in the car 😂 great way to present the basics. I’m subscribed and on Patreon. I would love to do some Christmas music with my kids this December!
Hi Bernadette. I started your videos during covid and played every day but one for a year and a half. Then we got a puppy and my schedule was totally thrown off. (I know I shouldn't blame it on her, but it is her fault!) Anyway, I am happy to be back. I started with this video as a little review and I think it worked nicely. Thank you so much for being here. I've missed my ukulele practices and I plan to make sure I practice daily again. And luckily, my puppy thinks I'm awesome!
I've been gone from this site for a while...I started learning with my first uke with you...I ventured away but I have grown with the uke music so much so that I am performing locally with a senior "rondalla" group, playing lots of mexican music as well as in english and different genres. I love my Ukes!!
Hi, I just found you on UA-cam last night, I am so thrilled. I have checked out several online teachers for ukulele, and none of them are as easy to follow as you. You are an amazing instructor. can’t wait to see more content by you.
Absolutely GREAT SONG & GREAT LESSON I have been playing for just turned one year. I can play all of it except the strum for the G7. So, I replace the strum on G7 with four quick D U as I saw on another tutorial. Still sounds good. I wish I could get the chuck added in. But, I still can't chuck when I play a song, only sometimes in practice in isolation.
I’ve just bought my ukulele today. I’m so excited to have found you last night. I am enjoying your lessons and feel like I’m learning so much already. The song I think I’m going to enjoy singing and playing along to is Jolene. That is the one I’m going to practice on my own to master it well. I’m from Essex in uk x
Hi Bernadette.. Thank you so much, for a great channel. I decided to start learning the Ukulele because I am based in Laos and was looking for something occupy my spare time.. Any Grazie Tanto.
Thank you. Loved the video. I'm an intermediate guitar player but just bought my first ukulele while vacationing in Hawaii. I'll be sure to subscribe. The video was very enjoyable.
Ohhh I'm so glad you posted this!! Love all these. So many great songs in one video. Next summer, a camping group that I'm in is having a "glampout" and they picked the theme for the weekend. It is going to be luau/ island themed. Most of these songs would be perfect for the theme to play around the campfire. Or maybe even on the main stage they are setting up for live entertainment, if I feel confident enough. Another simple song that uses these chords is "The tide is high" CCFG over and over again verse and chorus. Strum with the D DU pattern used in the tutorial. ✌️❤🎸
I'm a 60 Yr old man from Ireland. Living in Ireland so we'll probably never meet , but jesus your good at the lessons, if I was to become a patron how long would I be paying , only looking for a few songs Thanks miss . Your some teacher
wow ! so awesome did not it would be this to learn now play i'm actually a bass player but also play acoustic guigar been playeing for 50 years you are an excellent teacher thanks! sharing your videos
I was at your GNUF workshop, and I've been practicing from your handout! Thanks for remembering to post the video after a busy trip. It adds hugely to the value of the workshop to be able to see the way you perform the songs as needed. Next time 12 songs on the main stage?
I'm new in ukelele and I really like the way you teach how to play I know already guitar I have this Adrenalin to buy the ukelele and learn how to play thank you so much for teaching us looking forward to learn more. God bless you
Hi from Kathy. I'm from Barrie, Ontario, Canada. I'm new to this but my hubby plays guitar helps me a lot. Your videos are very clear and easy to understand, thank you. I just joined your Patreon and enjoy it very much.
Great tutorial Bernadette, many thanks , but please more like this as music should be for all , we are all different and some of us are not able to perform many times difficult and unnecessary complicated chords . Keep up the good work 👏
9Apr2024 - Hi Bernadette, my cousin started teaching herself to play the ukulele the last few weeks and it reminded me I also had a ukulele I’ve never played before. Last night I pulled my ukulele out of its storage bag and spent a long while trying to tune it and then learnt 3 chords: C and G7 and F. This morning I googled how to play ukulele and came across your 1 hour video as well as this video and just finish watching it and so loved it. I can’t wait to go home and try some of these songs. I’ve never played ukulele before but this video has inspired me to practice and learn more. Watching from Australia. Thank you.
So Why come I didn't realize Richie Valens was saying, "Para bailar la bamba" instead of what I heard as a kid on the record, "Lalalalalalabamba". WOW. I'm shook right now. Great video and I am enjoying playing along, but I was today years old when...
I love your teaching style! I’ve played guitar for years and now getting into ukulele. I will def check out your Pateron site! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you, Bernadette, for posting these instructional videos. They are fun and relaxing and I feel I am making progress. I was pleasantly surprised to see you using Ohana ukuleles because I have a couple Ohanas myself. Then I see you are on their website. Please continue making music and helpful videos.
I have been looking for some knew songs to play and when I found your channel I instantly subscribed! I also found a good strum pattern for my heart will go on it goes like this DD U D. and its really easy. thank u Soo much
Hi Bernadette! I absolutely love your videos. I got my ukulele during the pandemic from a friend and realized that I had no idea where to start. Your videos helped me out SO MUCH, I really cannot thank you enough. I was wondering if you could create a ukulele tutorial for the Ted Lasso theme by Marcus Mumford? I can't for the life of me figure out the strumming pattern.

Oh one more thing...about a year ago, I purchased 3 ukulele ribbon leis to adorn my uke. Either the site is not available or something else but I can't find anything like the ukulele leis I adorn my uke with. Looks good when my group plays mexican music and we dress up so colorfully for performance!
thanks bernadette, what kinda uke you play with? sounds great i have a cheap one. actually bought it for my daughter. but now starting to learn ukelele. from you
