- ** The use of the word "Beats" is used incorrectly in this video. Please substitute my use of beats for "Measure". ** All of these songs contain 4 beats per measure, but some songs change chords every one to two measures. In other words, one measure would be one complete strumming pattern (down down up up down up). I apologize for the mix up and any inconvenience
The point of this video is to show you how many songs you play with just a few chords (in the same pattern) mix it up a little an you have many more!
You hear a song that you liked? Most of the songs continue with the same chord progression for if you wanted to learn the whole song!
Hope you enjoy this Ukulele Tutorial! It uses only 4 easy chords and shows the many songs you can play!
The songs I played in order
1. Don't Sop Believin' | Journey
2. I'm Yours | Jason Maraz
3. Jar of Hearts | Christina Perri
4. Forever Young | Alpaville
5. Take on Me | A-ha
6. Sorry | Justin Bieber
7. Sit Still Look Pretty | Daya
8. She will be Loved | Maroon 5
9. Hey Soul Sister | Train
10. Let it Be | The Beatles
11. Let it Go | Idina Menzel (Frozen)
12. Can You Feel the Love Tonight | Multiple artists (The Lion King)
13. Hot n Cold | Katy Perry
14. Starving | Hailee Steinfield
15. Time to Say Goodnight | Andrea Boccelli

Elise Ecklund is somewhere watching
I SCREAMED DIOWSLLWOSOS
Am crying tears of lemonade.

@@CrustyRusty14 when I close my eyes I cant see
For those who have a piano as well, you can do the same.
C Major (C-E-G)
G Major (G-B-D)
A Minor (A-C-E)
F Major (F-A-C)
You’re welcome! 🥰
A minor my friend not major.
Kanav Kohli Oof thanks
@@CloudyROBLOXRMVgamesandmore Oof it got further twisted, i only meant for the minor to be on A.
C is Major (C-E-G) and so is F (F-A-C) and G (G-B-D). The only minor is the A she plays. (A-C-E is correct)
Correct Version:
C Major (C-E-G)
G Major (G-B-D)
A Minor (A-C-E)
F Major (F-A-C)
Cloudy Drawz シ thank you
Shut the fuck up
why can’t i change to the G chord without stopping to think about it
That's the same with me 🤣🤭
Same 😔
Omg yes literally 😭
You have to practice the transition from the previous chord many times in a row, you’ll get it!
Same!!!
BUT I CAN'T SING AND STRUM AT THE SAME TIME 😭😭😭😭😭
You are not alone!!!! Hahaha
Omg same I just do two down strums for all my songs lol
Haha needs some practice bro
HAHSHSHS SO I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE STRUGGLING HA HAHAHA HOW ARE U GUYS? CAN YOU DO IT NOW?
I thought it was just me I get so confused 😂
When I heard your voice I fell out of my chair because it was so AMAZING!!!!!
It was ok not to be mean 😞
Kiyara Kimbro haha true
Eclipse Sleeps get a frip dude
This was such a day brightener. My dads a classical guitar teacher at a local university, and ive always followed his very strict instruction. The light heartedness of this and your smile while playing reminds me of why i love playing music. Its just meant to fun.
Guys why is no one talking about how she looks like Jennifer Lawrence ??
Do you even know who Jennifer Lawrence is
omg I know I thought the same thing!
Because she doesnt...
Who? 😂
No she does not!?!
I've watched dozens of ukulele tutorials but this one taught me more about music than anything I've ever seen.
GOSH YOU CAN SING. LIKE REALLY WELL.
My ukulele teacher recommended this for me. AND I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOUUUUUUUUU
I have a ukulele but yours sounds right.. like the sound is sweet. When I play the same, mine doesn't sound like that, it doesn't sounds right, the sound it makes is "harder"😭 I think I didn't tune it right but I have tried everything and nothing sounds good😔
You should download the app GuitarTuna trust me, that's gotta work
Maybe you just dont have the same uke. I have a tenor, which sounds like you said "harder" than a concert or soprano
If this is not helpful maybe your uke is not properly tuned. Download the app Guitartuna, I use it and it really helps...
your playing too hard
Luna G I had the same problem! Look up “How to tune a Ukulele” on UA-cam. Took like 30 seconds and I was off and running.
Or maybe it's just the way your ukulele sounds, I first had one that sounded horrible and then exchanged it for a better one (which was even a bit cheaper)
I picked up ukulele a year and a half ago and I’m so happy I did.
Picked up my uke today and went looking for some help to play it and yours was the first video I tried. It was a great start! A four year old video, amd you are still helping people begin their journey.
I try to sing with can't help fall in love and it turned out so nice
I don't even have an ukulele
You must buy one....get a tenor ukulele....its a nice size
Me too might get one.
Lol
I don't have too😢
Sanjana Jarrison i snorted at the comment 💀
Beat = 1
Measure = 4
So most songs the chords are changing every 1-2 measures
Olivia Ferguson ok thanks. That means with the First chord down down up up and with the Second chord down up down down and so on? Sorry for my english!
Phew! thanks for that now me ukulele sound reem😘
June 2021- 54 year old mom picked up my son's $40 ukulele last week and so happy to have found you Lindsay! 🥳
You can also play ‘I don’t know my name’ by Grace vanderwaal with those four chords and the same strumming pattern (you repeat the strumming pattern twice per chord)
The chord progression is C, F, Am, G.
Chorus
C F
I don’t know my name
Am G
I don’t play by the rules of the game
C F
So you say I’m just trying
Am G
Just try ing
Also, this girl is incredible, being able to know all of these songs!! Real talented!
Lindsey,
I am a music teacher and I have my students play along to this video when they are finally introduced to a minor. It is wonderfully done and I thank you very much. I chose your video because your vocal model (singing voice) is outstanding.
However, you use some music terminology incorrectly, I would love it if you would re-record it use the right terms. In this video you use the word "beats" when you mean "measures" or "bars."
A measure is a group of accented and unaccented beats. These songs are all in 4, so there are four beats in each group or measure/bar. Think of the bar/measure as one complete strumming pattern (down, down up, up down up). Some of these songs change only every two bars, or two complete strumming patterns. Note that bar is different than barre (fretting multiple strings at once).
Beat means the steady pulse in music. These songs are typically about 136-144 beats per minute. Most of these songs change chords every four beats, or every one bar.
Kris VerSteegt Thank you for the feedback. I am glad to hear that you use this video for your students!
I have put a notice in the description of this video for the mix up of technical language. Hope this helps future viewers.
That tells a lot about you as a teacher. The girl is stupidly strumming the same chord progression over and over again even though the songs she is singing do not use the progression or the chords she is playing. And you are using the video as the example for kids?
Let's see some examples:
Jar of hearts. Where is that half-a-bar of Fm after F?
Forever young - complete BullSh... C, G, Am, F, Dm, Am, F, G
Hey soul sister. What was the Am for in the 2nd part?
Let it be... Again, there is a place where it goes straight to F, she still plays the Am.
Time to say goodbye... If she sang one bar, it would be OK. When she started another, again she messed up by keeping her progression and not starting over from C.
I listened Elise Ecklund v=Ljmm1wCssJg right after. That girl knows what she is doing and I think she would be a proper example for teaching kids. At least she does everything correctly.
Dogbrain Incorporated Dude, can you please calm down, Doesn't have to be completely correct for it to sound decent. Personally, I think It's good for beginner uke players, Yes, maybe Elise has more experience but this video was posted possibly one year ago, You shouldn't compare different ukulele players, It's good to give feedback but you shouldn't be so disrespectful and harsh about it.
@@sashaskoda2200 Which part?
@@sashaskoda2200 OK. I get it. This is UA-cam, this is the Internet in other words and it is a big garbage bin (no offence) where you have to sort everything on the particular topic out and select the info that suits you. It is a fact and everyone knows it. The girl did the video, she did it with all her mistakes, she has the right and it's on her. And it's OK. She just has to be ready to deal with such comments and she is supposed to know which ones are right and which ones are the cyberbullying type that she actually can just ignore.
But when a teacher chooses a video like that to teach kids, I pitty them about the quality of education they get. And praising a person about a video with obvious deffects, I personally think it is not appropriate.
Imagine you are looking for a Pithagor theorem (sorry for possible misspelling) video and you find a dude saying it is C equals square root of A+B. And you notice a math teacher in a comment praising that dude for the video and saying that he or she teaches kids according to that video. Please describe your reaction.
I appreciate your sincerity. Seriously.
THANK YOU!! it would be amazing if you could do more tutorials like this one! :) I loved it and even if I can't sing that well, I love to play all this songs together!:) :) :)
You are so easy to watch and what a voice. Thank you for taking the time to share this.
How the hell can u dislike this... its soo clear and easy for (what seems like it would be all) beginners. I't probably a lot easier 4 me bc I play guitar but I still cant imagine anything as good that is clear and easy to learn.
Lindsey,
I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing and making me smile. Keep singing and playing.
Sincerely.
You rock, Lindsey! Awesome video! 4 chords and 15 songs in under 7 minutes? BRILLIANT 😊
Her smile is just😍
Great way to learn playing ukulele and to practice strumming... i believe that as u go along and practice at ur own pace u'l get there... patience is the key 😊 Thanks for this vid!
Hey Lindsey! I don't know if you see it but I wanna say that I had nothing a week ago but I can play all of the songs with you now. Thanks a lot. ❤️
This is the very first video tutorial, of many thousands, that I have watched where the "instructor" mentions how many beats per chord the strumming change. This is exactly what I needed to hear to understand strumming patterns better. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is amazing I love it
I really really do want more of these
I like this tutorial, it’s basically The Axis of Awesome’s “four-chord song” on ukulele.
Gurl on Girl-Gaming OMG I was scrolling and hoping someone would make this same correlation! At least she added some more updated songs and not the exact same songlist. ^_^
I agree. And like I said, I like this tutorial and I learned some good stuff, but I think she should’ve at least mentioned Axis of Awesome as the originators of a lot of this arrangement.
Gurl on Girl-Gaming yeah the first five or so songs went exactly with axis’s four chord song. Then she threw a Bieber in there.
Thank u for the easy tutorial. Now I can play a song for ukelele during stay at home season.
Hi Lindsey! Thank you for this tutorial. I just started playing ukulele this 31st of March and as of today, April 5th, I'm doing a slow progress but I think I'm getting better. I learned a lot from this video especially during the deciding time if I'll buy a uke or not.
Looking forward for more of your tutorials! Stay safe! Sending hugs from the Philippines! 😊 🇵🇭
The beat reminded me of over the rainbow
Got it but when I tried singing I sounded like a chicken lmao
Lol me too 😂❤️
@@gracie-lb3yb glad to know that I'm not alone lol
😂😂😂
4:46 The Beatles!!! 😍😍😍😍
Wow... it was magic!! I can play the ukulele for my first try.... despite I still struggle at changing the chord, especially to G,
but it was really amazing!! i was never able to play guitar before. Now at least, I have a chance to play the ukulele before treating to learn guitar again.thanks for the video!
You nailed that jar of hearts- beautiful voice on that
I really like the way you teach. Could you please do a video on how to play "Hey Ho" by the lumineers in the simplest way possible? I am just learning and I am having a really hard time getting it down.
Thanks!! 🤙
This is wonderful- just know it’s not beats, it’s measures. 4 beats to a measure in this case. So you either change your chord every measure or every other measure.
Actually, if you're going to be a pedant, it is bars!
Yeah she put in the discription box
Thank You so much I actually learned to play watching your videos, your amazing 🤩
my mom and dad are proud of me! thank you so muchh!!
Thank you, I've been the proud owner of an Ukelele for a half hour now, and already know 15 songs :)
2:13 I literally thought it's gonna be Somewhere over the rainbow
Me too 😅
Same chords for the most part
Wow! You just gave me so much hope. If I learn just that one song. Thank you so so so so much!
dude this is so good! I just got my ukulele for Christmas (SOMEHOW we ended up with that money) and it's literally 3:21am while I'm watching this, so I get to surprise everyone I live with when they wake up with my new uke skills! thank you so much lindsey, your voice is amazing and you're brilliant at what you're doing
Thank you for this beautiful video..it was very helpful for a beginner like me☺️
anyone else struggle connecting c chord and g chord together?? like my fingers aren’t quick enough to change chords😂
Amberleigh Duncan takes a lot of practice I was struggling a lot. After a week or two I got the hang of it.
Yup, much better if you use your middle finger so that you will just slide it and connect the other fingers
I used to struggle too. Just don't give up. If you practise for some days you will be able to play
@@maryjanevillocero9327 Good. Or just jump it over to the 2nd string and use index finger to barre the second fret.
Thanks Lindsey!!! You’ve truly opened up a lot of doors with my beginning of ukulele playing. Definitely going to put all of these to good use. And you have a beautiful voice and are very talented. Keep Rockin 🎸🎸🎸 on!!!
Yay...I'm getting one for my birthday next month!
Super excited 😆
Who else can do every cord that she said except the G
Correct me if I made a mistake!
B1 means every 1 beat and B2 for every 2 beats
B1
Just a small town girl
living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South-Detroy
Took the midnight train going anywhere
B2
I won't hesitate no more no more
This is our fate I'm yours
B2
Who do you think you are?
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back to me
Who do you think you are?
B1
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
B1
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
B1
Is it too late now to say sorry?
'Cuz I'm missing more then just your body
B1
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of big events and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be
I don't wanna be
I don't want to sit still look pretty
B1
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved, she will be loved
B1
Hey soul sister
Ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know?
Hey soul sister
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
B1
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be x4
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
B1
Let it go x2
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go x2
Turn away and slam the door
B1
Can you feel the love tonight?
B1
'Cuz you're hot 'n you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight we make up
We kiss we break up
B1
I didn't know that I was starving
'till I tasted you
Don't need no butterflies
when you give me the whole damn zoo
By the way x2
You do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving
'Till i tasted you
B
Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
But I have to find them alone
Without you I'm on my own
Thankyouuuuu you're an angel! 🥺🥺😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bought uke for my ex before we broke up, still with me , and I ended up here. Thanks, subscribed will try to learn now ahahah
There's another site I love and your videos is one. I'll be taking your skill to the residents I have in need. Love you so much. Thank you. Hope you're well. ❤❤❤
You really made me smile. Thank you so much!
... Happy and of course crying. It's so wonderful for the soul. God bless you.
You need to make more videos like this!love it so much!
I've finally learnt the chord and the pattern!! I CANNOT sing and play at the same time...Is there something wrong with me or do I just have to practice?
its normal don't worry, you'll get there if u keep practicing :)
Neda V practice practice and more practice trust me!!!😄
you are not weird. it took me a while, once you get it its into muscle memory! I thought I was a wacko too when I first tried
Omg take on me by a-ha 🥰🇳🇴
Btw thank you for making this, i just got an ukulele 🙃
If your struggling to play and sing at the same time (like me) try strumming down once every beat. Sometimes it's hard to sing with new strumming patterns so I always do this because still sounds good
Ok... literally AMAZING!!!🤯🤯
16. Cant help fallin inlove w u
17. One day
18. Superman
19. Someone like you
your voice is so beautiful ia am honest
Doug Z --Thank you very much for the tutorial. It is proving very useful to me.
I just got a ukulele, hopefully I will learn to play watching your video.
I can play but it’s hard to sing at the same time because I need to think about what I’m playing and what I’m singing at the same time it’s so hard
Just practice
Cailyn Vlogs samee, but with practice i’m kind of able now
Loved the video! Just to let you know, in the description you skipped the #4 and left out Hot n Cold.
Thank you, Lindsey!! I just got a ukulele for Christmas this year and I’m learning some songs through this video (more specifically, “Let It Be”). Bless you and everything you do! ❤️
I just my ukelele 1 month ago and i still dont know how to use it i searched in youtube ukelele tutorial and i saw this i plaued it because it's only 4 chords so when the vid was done. I PLAUED MY UKELELE AND IT WAS LOKE KABOOM I AM NOW GOOD THANKS SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS VID! 😃😄😃😄🙃
"I'm just a girl, alone in my room.
I'm funny, quirky and all of my
lampshades are paper-based"
Her: Hi everybody it's Lindsey
Me in a child's voice: Are you an angel?
Ah I see... a man of culture
You played awesome, you inspire me to play my ukelele too.hugs sent
Just started learning two weeks ago.So glad I watched this clip.Struggling getting to g from various notes.
1:18 am I don’t have an Ukelele but now I do
How to match the singing with playing the uke? Everytime I start singing, everything is just messed up. I also notice your strumming speed is different too.
Keep trying, try humming before actually singing
12F-PSIS 10th generation I messed up a lot on riptide, but depending on the song you can just kind of strum however you want and get a feel for it, once you do that even if it doesn’t sound great try playing the song through playing it however needed. I hope this helps
Gracie Nadeau same over here. I guess I just gave up on that for now. I’m playing Can’t Help Falling in Love right now. It goes at a much slower pace and I can sing now. With one song at least. I’m happy with it.
You will never be able to play and sing together when u learn a new song, always need to Set in stone the rhythym and u need to feel comfortable with it to the point it becomes muscle memory. Thats when u will be able to sing.
I love her vibe 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Finally someone with taste!!! I love it! I’m so glad Hailee Steinfeld was in it, thank you!!!!
Don't stop believin' woOAHHHHHHHH
I can't switch to this God forsaken G without breaking the tempo, any help?
Edit: I'm pretty new to a uke so please don't be harsh
Just practice, try just doing the chords without strumming so you get the hang of switching then add the strumming. Start out slow and then work your way up to normal speed. It might seem hard but it was really hard for me too and i did these and now its quite easy
Just keep practicing! You'll get it in no time! 😁
I'm new and in the same boat. I'm practicing by switching cords and strumming only once or twice inbetween. Just think one day we'll able to do this!
I appreciate that this is one of the few videos where the instructor sings in key. Some tutorials are hard to listen to once the person starts singing. I can live with the beat/measure mix-up. I need to have some more caffeine so I can play along. Thank you Lindsey, I found it helpful.
What a great video, you just sold me on buying a ukulele and see more videos. Greetings from Belgium
If g finger placement is hard then try e minor it’s sounds almost same as g and I play songs that way
Image being able to move your figures that fast cant be me
Im beginning😊 nice to see your tutorial. Thank you and god bless you maam
So charming! And what a sweet voice you have.
I’ve watched it more than 5 times while waiting for my ukulele to arrive 😅✌🏻
Let it be and Let it snow are extremely great with this chords! Wow! And also your voice is incredible!
2019?😂😂😂😂
I need too say that this is so cool from you im coming from germany and i play today my first time and you help me really with this here
It's 2022 and I just learned a few more songs that you can play with the same 4 just by test with some songs in my playlist. it's magical kkkk
there’s another song
The one that got away
So happy to have found this very helpful tutorial, you're very talented!
I've been searching tutorials but i kinda find them really hard to understand good thing i found you!
Omg! You are so cute💕💕
i love how she used "dang" instead of "damn" dis girl
@Eliška Sukopová can
*yOU SEE MY PROFILE PHOTO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
Such a great voice it made me cry😪😪
You're so good Lindsay!!!
