I'm stuck at home, they just made the entire school year online, Im gonna have a lot of time on my hands, ordered a uke off of amazon and now im learning. This will be my first song!
@@DrCrazyEvil same! I'd love to know if you stuck with it! My dad recently got me a uke and I've been tasked with figuring out songs to play, do you have any recommendations on learning how to play?
We started learning ukulele in school and I really liked playing so I bought one and I've been playing it the whole summer and your channel is the one I go on the most, thank you sm!
WHAT!? W...Why?? Why does my school decide to give me Spanish as the coolest class I have when people are playing ukulele at school and watching cool UA-cam play-alongs???
I'm 52 and have never played an instrument in my life. On Feb 29th of this year (2020), I decided to take that "extra" day (Leap Day) and learn something new. I always wanted to play the ukulele! It's been 7 days now. I'm still working my way thru sore fingertips, (who knew strings would hurt so bad, !?!?), but I'm getting there...... almost!! I can play all the cords, sort of. I just need to work on strumming & the flow from cord to cord. I'm having so much fun though!! Guess you really CAN teach an old dog new tricks! 😉 So I just wanted to thank you for this video! As I learn to play I'll be sure to check out your other videos. ❤ * Any advice, from anyone, would be MUCH appreciated! *
When in doubt, loosy goosy. This is what i taught my younger cousin. Loosen up your hand when you strum, and youll sound a lot better. Need any advice, just ask. Uke is so much fun to learn.
Im a beginner and my boyfriend taught me this song, super easy if you have barely any experience with uke and great to learn some of the basic chords on
One of my Most treasured songs. My little charm is learning this on her little pink ukulele So I can sing to her while she plays. I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU SWEETHEART XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I found this video very easy to follow. this video is amazing for me. I just started to learn the G cord and this song helped me. this video is great for those people who want to learn. PS I slowed the video down to start of so I could get the hang of it, then made it faster. just a helpful hint there guys. I love this song and I am going to show my teacher at school that he not the only one who can now play it. LMAO XD. thx sm for this video! Shani Walters
I’ve been practicing and now I can sing at the same time as I Play Thank you 😊 I love this song. My family members ask me how I learnt how to play and I tell them by watching this video for a few times!!!
I used to say that before.. itll definitely takes time, don't worry.. youll get there. My tip would be just get used to the strum that you're mostly vibing with it. until you dont have to focus if it's the right strum or not cuz your hands are used to it and youve got better knowing to just vibe
this song definitely will help cuz there's not much of a change from beginning to end.. i used to practice to learn singing and strum with this song and it helped me to different songs as well
the strum pattern with which I can sometimes sing along is D DU UD cause it's so simple, or else i cut the sentences in time with the strumming or I'm focusing so much on the note I'm playing that's the one I sing instead of the intended note
This is the same strumming pattern as Riptide if you are familiar with it! Just a little different rhythm and you repeat it twice for each chord rather than once in Riptide. :) I have such a hard time learning strumming patterns, so this being the same as Riptide really helped!
If you're looking to do the bare minimum or easiest version, I would recommend doing 4 downstrokes for each new note. This makes it so you can actually sing along without messing up every 5 seconds and still have the ukes melody.
Hello thank you for sharing this video..this song is my first ever i played in my history and very helpful the chords..thank u so much..and i watched this maybe thaousand times already to practice and learn at the same times..godbless .🇵🇭
For anyone who wants to try this in a lower key (G), use this progression instead: Main: G D Em C (A7) Interlude: G D Em D C C A7 (Note: A7 is the first fret, 3rd string)
This song is like the best and me and my friend are very new to the ukulele so it is sooooooooooooo easy and fun to play especially because my dad really likes this song thank U for doing this song Ukulaliens! ❤👍😃😊
Doing this song in music class and I haven’t touched my ukulele since quarantine started🥲 I got the hang of changing chords quickly but I always get slow and mess up the down down up up down up on G
Yesterday was my 1st time ever playing a ukulele and I can play riptide with just strumming down as of rn and idk why I’m here cause I’m not gonna learn this for a while cause I want to really master riptide before I try something else
I love this song so much and you just don't know how happy I was when I found this on your channel. To my surprise, it is so easy with just 4 chords plus D7 pa pla. I memorized the long lyrics haha... Thank you so much for sharing this. I will post my Uke cover for this song one of these days. Keep it coming. I learned a lot of my fave songs from your channel. THANKSALOT.

I love this song, and having an easy play along to learn ukulele by myself is so nice 😊
How did it go? ^
It went really well and I preformed it on stage
i have never practiced playing this song, but following this, I could basically sight-read it. Thanks for the video!!!!
It’s kinda hard at first but when u really get into it it’s super easy! Thank you sooooo much for teaching this! Ly
My daughter learned how to play this song on ukulele. Thank you so much 😊
Glad I could help!
Im a beginner and my boyfriend taught me this song, super easy if you have barely any experience with uke and great to learn some of the basic chords on
This helped me a lot and my school has a talent show so i am definitely doing it at my talent show
Thank you it was AWESOME
just got my ukulele yesterday and this is the first song i learnt!
I learnt more from this than literally weeks of other tutorials. Thankyou. Grazie.
I performed this song for school and like ALL the memories just came flooding back
On Monday I sang some songs with my friends to some old people it was fun also with my teacher
For anyone who wants to play this song but has trouble doing an up strum a steady down strum also works well for this song!
I love this!!! I usually like using the
du Du du Du
Strumming
Great channel, no endless talking or silly hats. Just the strum pattern and off we go. Practice made easy, thanks.
One of my Most treasured songs.
My little charm is learning this on her little pink ukulele
So I can sing to her while she plays.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU SWEETHEART
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Okay im literally just posting this comment so i can see the strum cuz damn, I ain’t gone remember that lmao
Down Down-Up Up Down-Up
Thank u so much
It gets easier
Is it once per chord? I’ve seen 2x in other places but it’s so much harder like that
Kiki so many songs use this pattern i have it drilled into my brsin
follow the beats or sound while strumming its like ur hands are sinhing 😂 but its works for me my tutor said that to me and its so easy
Your channel is so great! Thank you for all of the easy songs that you have made because they are easy and fun to play at the same time!!!
