Hey there! This video lesson is a quick start guide to get a beginner up and running on the ukulele in less than 10 minutes. This is made for beginners but if you already know the chords, you might be interested in learning the songs too so stick around. I also go over the chunking technique I use.

Howie Day - Collide
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Train - Hey Soul Sister
U2 - With or Without You
Blink 182 - Dammit
Adele - Someone Like You
Maroon 5 - She will Be Loved

Collide - D___D_DU_UD_DUDU
I'm Yours - xUDUxUDU

I thought these songs would be good for a beginner to learn because they are popular and easy to sing and play. Have fun!
beginner: Ukulele easy songs - 4 easy chords, 10 songs
Been thinking about getting a ukulele all summer.Finally got one today. Thanks for showing me 4 chords in just under 1 minute! I am now on my way! I am miffed as to why anyone would give you a thumbs down. A hearty thumbs up from me!
My family moved to Madagascar last September. We brought a ukele with us in the hopes of learning to play it. We are now doing just that, thanks to your videos. We love it!
man, you are like the kind of "best friend" personality. awesome guide, easy to listen, can't wait to try it out
Went and bought a ukelele today for fun and happened upon your video...literally went from ten minutes ago not having a clue to playing these simple chords and messing around with these songs. Awesome. so simple and fun. Thanks, dude.
hey dude, thanks for takin the time outta your day to record and post this. ya dont know how this little bit of info to you just changed the course of my life. it just gave me something to help distract from something i was considering ending it all over. god bless.
Compared to most other youtube tutorials this is by far the best I've seen for ukulele beginners great job
Great post! Those are the first four chords I learned to play "I'm Yours" and Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry"....now you've instantly added another 9 or so songs for me to play....Gracias Amigo!!!
I am totally buying a ukelele, like....right now!! And I am going to wow my friends with every single one of these songs now! Thanks a bunch! Love your work!!
Just wanna tell you that this is the first ukulele ive ever watched that actually helped, thankyou so much!!
Just taken up playing a few months ago. To me you have made the unreachable, reachable with this vid. So thank you
Thanks for taking the time to do this and anyone who thinks this is your taste in music doesn't get the reason you made the video and "they" can suck it! You are quite helpful for me ( a beginner) and when I can play a couple of songs regardless of what kind it makes me happy so thanks!
Thank you - got a ukulele for Christmas - absolute beginner, your video's and teaching style are excellent. Really appreciate your time and effort, Cheers man.
This is great! My girlfriend got me a uke for Christmas, I could always sing but could never play her anything so she finally got me something so I could play something for her. I finally have the time to try to learn. That G is a problem, but I'll get there. Thanks man!
I just started playing ukulele 4 minutes ago. You are adorable.
Thank you! I just got a concert uke for my 41st birthday and I like instant gratification with only 4 chords. yay!
Omg I finally get it! Watched 2 other videos from guys trying to teach those chords and for some reason they just weren't making sense explaining things well:/. Then you come along and BAM! It now makes sense;). You are quite a nice teacher and extremely user friendly!:). Thank you!!!!
my uke arrived yesterday and I'm already playing "I'm yours" thanks for the great tutorial :]
BIG THANK YOU!! About to start on my first uke and the first 3 songs listed are the ones I wanted to learn. Another video like this would be awesome!
Thank you! I hope you stick with it. If you pratice a little bit everyday, you'll get the hang of it quick. It's a fun instrument to play, so simple.
THANK YOU!I've always have wanted to play "Hey soul sister" My whole LIFE! :3
You totally should! The one I'm playing in this video is a tenor, more comfortable than the smaller sizes in my opinion but a bit more expensive.
Hi from Midlands UK.
You have a wonderful attitude. Thanks for the tutorial. You have a lovely voice too. Great song choices.
Yes! I'm so happy about some of these songs! Can't wait to play them!
I fall in love with your voice❤️😊 perfect! Thx🇨🇱

I've played it both way and like this way better for a bunch of reasons. It makes switching to F and A minor easier and I don't have to move my middle finger when I switch to D to name a few
Thank you so much for posting this. I bought my daughter a Ukelele for Christmas because she kinda thought it was a kids guitar. Did not know where to begin with it and after watching this I can almost play those songs. Gonna be practicing some more and hopefully I can carry a tune with it and teach her how to do it as well. You are awesome man. Don't let anyone tell you any different! Peace
I bought my ukulele to day, and I feel like I'll be able to learn a lot from thisvideo, So Thanks for putting info out there for us!
Good job. I just picked up the Ukulele for me and my kids and you were the first video I watched. It's been years since I've had one and I forgot how much I loved the sound... You're a down to earth teacher - passionate without over doing it. Nicely done. I'll definitely troll through the rest of your videos now. I have no idea why you have haters for this video....Best of luck in life.
+2 Comma Titans Thanks, good luck with it. It's lots of fun!
I have been out and bought my very first Ukulele today at the age of 26 (bit late I know!) I decided to give it a try!! Yours are the first videos I have actually learnt anything from. Thankyou very much!!!
I wasn't much younger when I started. Better late than never :)
Well your videos have been extremely helpful, thankyou very much. I'm off out today to buy my second Uke. Mine only had nylon strings and I want steel now :)
Just purchased my first Uke for a laugh more than anything but this video was incredible for me to get myself a few songs on the go and taught me a few of the basic chords...
Thank you very much for uploading this :)
Your voice is amazing and I love this video. Never played the guitar/ukulele. Learned these songs from your tutoral! Thank you!
I was iffy in the ukulele until just now. I've saved this as a favourite and I'm going to find myself a ukulele!
Awesome. Got my ukelele today. Thought it might take forever to learn a song. Thanks for these easy lessons. :)
Just ordered myself a Kala KA-TEME. Will be my first Uke. Can't wait to get it! Been studying some Uke chords and it looks like it will be an easy transition from the guitar.
Thanks for the list of tunes! There are several in there that I'll learn. Thumbs up!
The video for strumming patterns is up:

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about
learning how to play the ukulele for beginners try *Banfan Ukuleles Unleashed* (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
Your singing doesn't sound too bad... for just waking up and getting over a cold.
this vid is amazing! I was given a ukelele last week and thanks to you I can already play 10 songs!! And btw, let's say your singing is so cute! new subscriber over here!!
Whats the strum pattern for the first song?
anthemofadam Hello. Let's play the ukulele! The great thing about the ukulele is that it is easy to play.You don't have to try hard; just play it. Compared to the guitar, the ukulele is easy. Let's play! Go here ==> rocketukulele-new.blogspot.com/
Love your video. Thanks for the lesson. Very easy to follow but you make it look so easy. Ha. Awesome voice, mate! Keep on keeping on. You. You're good.
finally I know what chunking is now. my brothers mention it when I do it but I never knew what it was called haha. and the chords I get my chords all mixed up! thx for the vid
Was bought a ukulele today and this is going to be my first project.
Just bought a uke yesterday and this video helped me a lot. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this, Adam! Great for a quick win. Totally new to uke and happy to get some quick results!
The only helpful “tutorial” I could find thanks
This video was perfect. I've been wanting to learn the ukulele for a long time. I got my first one in Hawaii back in November, this definitely helped. Thanks and awesome job.
Great tutorial.....if only all uke tutorials were this clear.
it's about time someone showed me how to do this! thank you so much :D
Thank you...I have been just thinking about the Ukulele...you made it seem so simple, excellent! You have a lovely voice, hitting high notes!
Very easy but very good song choices! Great vid for people new to the ukulele.
Dude this is awesome, I just picked up my first Ukulele today, and I'm jamming it thanks to you!!!
Great tips - just picked up a ukelele on my last Hawaii trip - thanks!
You are sooo cool, I got my uke yesterday an I´m already playing 7 of the songs
you rock! thanks for this video. i kept playing it every now and then and i practice, great stuff for beginners like me
Yeah, that G is tough to get the hang of. Definitely the hardest chord in this vid. My gf actually bought me the uke i'm playing in this video for xmas. Glad you liked the video, thanks for the feedback.
Keep up the good fight, you are an excellent teacher. You seem very personable. Tons of talent. Peace.
Thanks! Yeah a tenor ukulele is played just like the others. The baritone is the one that's usually tuned different.
This was extremely helpful for a beginner ukulele player. Thank you!!
Getting better at singing is important if your goal is to sound good in general. Spicing up your uke playing will be impressive but it won't compensate for bad vocals.
A lot of people have trouble getting better at vocals because they don't focus on technique, they just sing. It's like wildly punching a heavy bag to become a better boxer; practicing with bad form won't help you improve.
You can sing. Focusing on things like pitch, flexibility and range will help. Sing everyday :)
Thank you for this video, it makes me think that I could pick up the Uke and play a few songs my first day of playing. I think I'm going to go get one!
thanks! this was great! its my first day playing the uke and learning these songs made it not seem too hard to learn how to play! it helped when you went over each song somewhat before ending the video.
Love this post ... I'm a very green uku player I found this tutorial a great help .. can you post some more songs with the four basic chords with strum pattern. Strum pattern is what I find the most challenging. Cheers
This is great! Thank you SO much for posting this easy guide!
I just bought a ukulele today and was looking for something to help me and this was great thx!
no problem, glad it helped! hope you stick with it
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your voice is amazing!
you are the man, I appreciate this immensely, first video that helped me
I just found a music store in paris which sells ukuleles.. and after watching ur vid I think i'm gonna by one! it looks so easy thank you! :D
Good man first person to explain chunking! Nice
I just cracked chunking!!!! felt good :) thank you so much.
omg thank you so much for teaching me! i bought one a few days ago and now im rocking it!
Just got my uke today! This is GREAT. Thanks so much! MORE! :)
Thanks bud! You're the man! This took my playing to the next level
Thank you for sharing these tips. Very straight to the point and easy to follow. I know guitar, but I am just learning Ukulele, so I am excited to know that I can play so many songs with just 4 chords. I like your song choices and voice, too!
for anyone wondering, the ukulele is the four high strings on a guitar
(D G B E) on 5th fret is (G C E A) at the right pitch.
so... use a capo on 4, so 5 open is GCEA
and of course... ignore the bass strings E and A.
you can start learning ukulele without one, GG.
and if you have a classical guitar the sound is close.
Thanks for this great video. It really inspired me to keep trying and having fun with my new ukes. You're adorable and have a nice voice. Keep on Ukin!
just got a ukuele last week. thanks for putting together some easy learning choards to play some fun songs...except maroon 5.
I was like so freaking close to leaving until you started singing a little bit of collide
im learning the uke I still need to buy one but im defo listening to you it make a massive change than just playing my guitar
Just picked up my first ukulele the other day and was getting frustrated until I watched this video. The G chord transition from C I'm having a lot of trouble getting it smooth without my middle finger touching the E string. Nothing practice can't fix though! Thanks for the video!!
Hey Adam, thanks so much for these vids! I'm a super newb and these are great ways to practice transitioning between chords, and also to work on strumming too.
Keep them coming!
Thank you for the awesome post!!!!!!....exactly what I wanted....just got a new uke and didn't know any chords....now I can play some fun songs and get some practice in!! Thanks again!! :)
Parfait il me falait juste sa ! La fameuse technique des 4 accord plur pécho ! THANK A LOT !

Thank you so much for this! I just bought a uke and started playing- you are a great teacher, and I love your voice too! Also, I was so excited because these songs are all my favorites!!!

Could you please do a strum pattern video for the strum patterns you used here? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to play them and keep the rhythm.
It was so funny that I recognized you and saw you on the Delaware boardwalk a while ago! I keep watching this video, it's so helpful. :)
I like your singing voice very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
