There's a little part missing: When he sings "... will send me someone to lava" you have to play the same chords as in "i lava you". F G7 C Will send me someone to lava Lava's director and songwriter plays it that way. Other than that, awesome tutorial:)
thats really mean karma gonna come back to you so thats rude and mean if someone said that you couldnt sing how would you feel treat peoble the way you would want to be treated
@@zurimay6358 Dude chill, they weren't being mean, they were just stating a fact. He's talented at the uke, just not so much in singing, but that doesn't mean that he can't practice and exercise his voice as well.
Down, down, down up, down up XD It's pretty easy strumming pattern, really! I usually have problems with strumming up, but if you keep practicing and try to strum in different paces then I'm sure you will eventually do it right! Experiment with different patterns for different songs! Just remember to have fun and don't worry if something doesn't sound right at the first time! ^v^
For anyone struggling with the strumming: Slow it down to .5 and practice it that way. It will sound better and will be easier to practice without messing up the strumming/trying to go too fast. The way he does it there is emphasis on every 2nd and 4th beat (2nd and 4th "down") Start at 3:13 - Put up 4 fingers on your left hand and with your right index finger, touch each of your fingers on each beat (it will be on each "down" stroke). Listen carefully in half speed and practice saying "(1)down (2) DOWN-up (3) down-up (4)DOWN-up".. Once you got the counting on your fingers figured out, the strumming will come easier. You can practice strumming with him at half-speed until your hands feel good, then crank up the speed to normal. Hope that makes sense!!
Theresa Kim Hey 👋! I just uploaded a cover of this song and if you check it out I would deeply appreciate it. You won’t get anything from me in return but you would make a young artist 👩🎤 VERY happy 😊.
I'm having HUGE trouble with the strum, it doesn't sound like yours, so there is something missing... because there isn't the same intensity in all the strums ... Could you do a video just about strum? That would help me and more people struggeling with strums
No...WAY! I was wanting to request this song! First the Judge by 21 Pilots the first week it was on vevo and no this?! You're reading my mind, and I love all of your tutorials!!!!!
I bought a ukulele just to practice the lava song with you! A month later and I got the entire song! Thank you so much for you vdos! So easy to follow---even for a beginner like me!
Last night my husband and I went to see Inside Out, saw this short, and I turn to him and say, "I hope a tutorial from the Uke Teacher comes out soon." Woke up to find you did! Yaaaay!
I just bought my first ukelele and am super stoked to start playing it! I'd like to see more songs from Steven Universe like "Dear Old Dad", " Stronger Than You", "Steven and the Stevens", " Be Wherever You Are", "Let Me Drive My Van Into Your Heart", and "Lapis Lazuli". Or the Ending credits to Courage the Cowardly Dog!
Like how you finally start your video with the whole song before you jump into teaching. I'm new to ukulele and your videos are great to learn from! Thanks.
I saw Inside Out yesterday and as soon as this short film played I said to myself that I'd learn it. You have such great tutorials, thanks so much! ^-^
I just wanna say you are an awesome teacher haha. I've only had my ukulele for a few days and do not know any other instruments and now i can play 7 of your songs. Keep doing what you are doing bud. 👍🏽
Hi! I got my first uke for Christmas a year ago and never had the intention to play it. I only knew a c chord and I wanted to learn more. I found out that this song was played on a uke so I wanted to learn it and so I watched this video. I learned it in one day and I play it for my mom with cancer. Thank you so much for this video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're an amazing teacher! Your easy step-by-step lessons for beginners like me are just brilliant. Can't wait to learn them all and move to intermediate with your help!
This is amazing, I’ve been struggling with the strum pattern and chord memorization but this really helped, now I can play somewhere over the rainbow too.
OMG!!! I bought my first ukulele friday and I played this song today!!! I loved! Thank you so much. I'm feeling really proud of myself now thanks to your lesson.
I'd just like to say, thanks for making these videos!! They make learning the use so fun and easy! I got a uke about a week ago, and I haven't been able to put it down since!! I can't wait to learn more!!
Dude, you're an amazing teacher. I've learned quite a few songs and just started the Uke a few days ago. I really appreciate your effort and time to teach. Have you considered a guitar channel? I feel like you would be great at it.
TheShadowwarrior29 I keep getting requests for this... To be honest, I'm not sure I'd have time to do it justice... But I'm getting *so* many requests for it, I may have to start thinking seriously about it!
Thank you for the tutorial. This song is the reason why I bought a ukulele. And after practicing and practicing, I'm finally able to play this song. Thank you very much
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Ever since I heard the song, I knew I wanted this to be the next ukulele song I learned. Your tutorials are great and easy to follow!
Peach by the front bottoms would be great. I'm getting into the ukulele and me and my girlfriend are learning together and we listen to that song all the time so if I could learn it it would be great. Thanks for the consistency
Thanks for this! We heard the Lava song for the first time the other week.. As we loved it so much we bought a ukulele and this is the first song we played! The kids love it thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I got my first ukulele about 6 hours ago, but I can play this song pretty well, all thanks to you! Thanks again! :D
I'm learning to play this song with a great website called Ukutabs. I recommend it highly. I've been told I have to work on my strumming tho. This is really helpful, thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you so much. You are the best man. I'm still 2 weeks into the learning process and would love to play this as soon as I'm able to. Currently struggling with the strumming but eventually I'll get it. Thank you again
Hi! I just want you to know that I truly think you are a great singer, you are very brave for singing infront of that many people and it's amazing that you can do both playing and singing with both things sounding amazing! Btw I loved the tutorial :)
Alejandra Hey 👋! I just uploaded a cover of this song and if you check it out I would deeply appreciate it. You won’t get anything from me in return but you would make a young artist 👩🎤 VERY happy 😊.
i tried to learn how to play ukulele before but then i just stopped trying. maybe i got too impatient. but now i wanna try again so i could sing a good lullaby to my future child :) thanks for providing this tutorial!
Wow, I just discovered your channel and you are really awesome! I'll get my first ukulele soon and I'm sure I will watch all of your videos to learn it! Great job, go on like this! :)
+Che Tam dont forget to be realistic - you'll have to put in a bit of work whatever plan you decide on for learning uke I have spent months researching into how to play uke and found a great website at Arthurs Uke Blog (check it out on google)
hi I've got a question I got my first uke for Christmas and I'm starting to learn how to play it and the fingertips of my left hand are literally on fire and I was wondering if playing the uke ever stops hurting (even if it's worth the pain haha) if you practice enough?
The Ukulele Teacher Thank you very much for answering! And I'm not gonna stop I'm having too much fun, I was just being curious! I love your channel by the way, very helpful!
This is the song that made me say: I will learn to play the ukulele before I die...bucklist. I want to play it for my daughter....its special tp us. So thanks very much for covering this song and teaching it.
D, D-U, D-U, D-U
verse: C, G7, F, C, G7 (4x)
chorus: F, C, G7, C (2x)

Luisa R thanks!
Luisa R thank u!
Hit you with that DDU DDU DDU
Thank you 😊
@@shessyllespinosa8301 LMAO Black Pink??? Love that for you.
There's a little part missing:
When he sings "... will send me someone to lava" you have to play the same chords as in "i lava you".
F G7 C
Will send me someone to lava
Lava's director and songwriter plays it that way. Other than that, awesome tutorial:)
he cannot sing but he can jam bro keep it up this was really useful
thats really mean karma gonna come back to you so thats rude and mean if someone said that you couldnt sing how would you feel treat peoble the way you would want to be treated
@@zurimay6358 it's true but he's good at the ukulele
@@zurimay6358 Dude chill, they weren't being mean, they were just stating a fact. He's talented at the uke, just not so much in singing, but that doesn't mean that he can't practice and exercise his voice as well.
Zuri May you are the kind of person to be offended when someone tells you the truth
i think it's ok
That moment when you can play the chords but you can't strum the ukulele. 😂😂😂
Same
Down, down, down up, down up XD
It's pretty easy strumming pattern, really! I usually have problems with strumming up, but if you keep practicing and try to strum in different paces then I'm sure you will eventually do it right!

Thanks for the advice!!! I FINALLY got it!!! 😊😊😊
Rainbow_Sparkles149 Great! Good luck! :)
ikr😂
I just got a ukulele yesterday because this song inspired me. And also, because I am currently on a trip in Hawaii, I thought it would be fitting. :)
Hannah R I'm jealous - I'd love to go to Hawaii!
I got a ukelele for this song too! I can't strum yet though.. Hope your having fun in Hawaii!
The first thought I had when I saw the short film was "I bet I'll see a Ukulele Teacher tutorial for this soon!"
Em Sumner And you were totally right!
Em Sumner thought the same exact thing xD
ashia beason me too

I SWEAR TO GOD I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THE TEMPO JUST SEEMS TO CHANGE SO GOD DAMN MUCH
Honestly, the song speeds up and slows down so much, playing it by ear works.
Like how you finally start your video with the whole song before you jump into teaching. I'm new to ukulele and your videos are great to learn from! Thanks.
I got my ukulele 3 days ago, and as a drummer it's something that I find quite difficult, but this just made it a billion times better, thankyou!!!!
I saw Inside Out yesterday and as soon as this short film played I said to myself that I'd learn it. You have such great tutorials, thanks so much! ^-^

This tutorial is excellent - got the chords really quickly and managed to sound coherent enough to sing along to my strumming! Thank you!
Alex Sewell No probs, glad you liked it!

Dude, you're an amazing teacher. I've learned quite a few songs and just started the Uke a few days ago. I really appreciate your effort and time to teach. Have you considered a guitar channel? I feel like you would be great at it.
TheShadowwarrior29 I keep getting requests for this... To be honest, I'm not sure I'd have time to do it justice... But I'm getting *so* many requests for it, I may have to start thinking seriously about it!
Was pleasantly surprised to find this on your channel after this song was stuck in my head all day! :D
This is perfect, thank you Ukulele Teacher! I'll be playing this with my students for this term's school assembly! :)
MilkCheikh That's very cool to hear - good luck!
I saw this at the start of inside out, and it was adorable!
tbh ur the best teacher at this on youtube. idk when u made this video but i can’t understand the way anyone else teaches
Thank you for the tutorial. This song is the reason why I bought a ukulele. And after practicing and practicing, I'm finally able to play this song. Thank you very much
THE BEST TEACHER I EVER SEEN!!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Ever since I heard the song, I knew I wanted this to be the next ukulele song I learned. Your tutorials are great and easy to follow!
I've been playing down down up up down up.
MEE TOOOOO I WAS SO CONFUSED 😑😑
SAME!! Try saying the pattern we are suppose to use in rhythm over and over that might help, it seems to be helping me
Same
Both of them work for the song, I think down down up up down up is easier
BeerGogglesReviews same? it still sounds good with that strum
please do the girl by city and colour!!
farrah who The Ukulele Teacher YES please
I agree
I just've got an ukulele form my friends on my 18 birthday yesterday!
Gonna learn that piece as my first song!
Happy birthday for yesterday!
You explained this better than any other video I have seen. Thank you so much.
Loved this tutorial!! I learned the song and recorded a video myself. Thanks Ukulele Teacher! This is such a fun song to play.
Got it!!! Finally, after a week and a half I got it. Thank you Ukulele teacher.
So glad you put this up! I have the song down and I just watched the little film last night! Thanks!
You're amazing! I'm learning a lot of uke songs thanks to you! Could you do "What's my age again?" by Blink 182? PLEEEEEASEEEE
OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
+Lorenzo Carta OMG YES

I know the progression is the pop-punk progression, which you can look up, but no clue on the strumming.
Could you please do Tear in My Heart by Twenty One Pilots? :)
He already has!
Andacupofteatogo No he hasn't.. I mean if he has definitely link us to it, but I can't find it and it's not in his Twenty One Pilots playlist.
I came here from that video... maybe he took it away? :S
Andacupofteatogo ik I’m late be he has I just shearched ok bye I’m out
Peach by the front bottoms would be great. I'm getting into the ukulele and me and my girlfriend are learning together and we listen to that song all the time so if I could learn it it would be great. Thanks for the consistency

+Mel It definitely stops hurting! (And if it doesn't, maybe see a doctor?) So stick with it!
The Ukulele Teacher Thank you very much for answering! And I'm not gonna stop I'm having too much fun, I was just being curious! I love your channel by the way, very helpful!

+Vomiting Pie +Ayano Aishi ayyyy twinsies!
+FrostedBrownie 235 i already got it! I guess I was just being impatient hahaha
This is by far my favorite song to play on the ukulele
OMG! When i listened this song i was thinking "I wish that the ukulele teacher is going to teach this song" and yes, you did:D
How do you get that swing rhythm when you're strumming in this song.
+PxF_Trippii just let your hand feel loose and then just wiggle it around on the strings and that is strumming. sorry if that didnt help.
+Allison Lewis I'm able to do it now, but thanks mate :)
Bit late, but here is the actual strumming pattern: Down, down up, up down. Where the comma indicates a pause in the beats.
Lex l-/ practice?
Takomiyaki smart.. I was looking for someone who would know our Hawaiian strum 😂🤙
I just picked up a Uke and have never played an instrument. Your stuff is amazing!
