Since the Bb chord is the hardest chord to play, then you can completely eliminate it while everyone is singing the person's name, and thus use only use F and C7 to play the entire song. A sneaky trick, but what the heck, no one will notice, right?
I picked out my first ukulele when shopping with my dad for my bday about 10 days ago (around 1 wk after my actual bday). I practiced learning a few chords and then this song on and off the last few days and played it for him today. I loved that I got to use the gift he got me as part of his gift. My B flat and chord transitioning is getting a little better. I heard my dad a little later talking on the phone with my brother and saying how I had played him a song with the Uke he got me. It made me smile. Thanks for the great explanations/lessons!
After searching through popular sites for chords that actually seem to fit this is by far the best. So easy and so cheerful compared with the rest. Many thanks Bernadette.
Thank you so much for the lesson. I’m playing this for a birthday in one week and even though I don’t speak Spanish I’ll do it in Spanish thanks to you! Keep up the good work. You’re making the world a better place, one song at a time!
Hey Bernadette! I've been following your uke tutorials for 2 months now (since I got a new uke) and the amount of progress I've made shocks me! And it's all thanks to you! You're tutorials are so useful and so easy to follow and I can't wait to see future tutorials and keep improving at the uke. Thank you, love from India!!!🥰
Thanks for the tutorial, my sister has a birthday coming up on April 24 and I’m going to play Happy Birthday on the ukulele, and I also agree with all of you who think the b chord is hard!!!
Bernadette Teaches Music Hi, Greetings from New Zealand!!! Question: what if different name like Joseph mike Ashleigh Alex or Jenny how you can put this in a notes ? Thanks in advance
Very much appreciate this resource. I started playing the uke a month ago and I love it. My girlfriend’s dad’s 93rd birthday is Saturday so I know this will help make it special. He just has to last another 4 days. Piece o’ (birthday) cake.
Just purchased ukulele, watched so many videos but wasn't able to learn any song. You made me learn this in just few minutes. Such a helpful video. I don't usually comment on any video. But here i felt like doing it.
It's my dad's birthday on Wednesday and I won't be able to see him because my country is in lockdown. I haven't seen my family for a month and we're all very emotional about it, and my dad won't have any presents because the shops are all closed so I wanted to send a video of myself singing happy birthday to my dad. Thank you for your help!
you're my favourite. the most amazing teacher you could find on the internet for free. you're doing a great job. I completed your uke challenge with zero instrumental knowledge before starting though I do have a musical background, and though I agree i took more than a month to complete it coz I didn't want to just complete it but rather understand learn and wanted it to flow through me naturally, which indeed could happen only because of you. great warmth and happiness to you
I am just seeing you today. I want to surprise my son by playing Happy Birthday on my ukulele for his 50th SURPRISE Birthday party. This is the best video I've seen. Thank you. I just am struggling with stretching my fingers to get the chords. 🤷♀️
Just subscribed to your channel!!! I’ve been watching tutorial videos and yours are my fave!! I just bought my first ever ukulele and I’m in love with it 😍 I’m gonna learn this song since it’s my grandpa’s birthday this sunday 🤗🤗🤗I’m so excited to learn how to play ukulele 😊
Bernadette Teaches Music sure thing!! I’m just gonna practice this tonight until I get it right since I got work during the day 😊 please keep on uploading tutorials, they are so helpful for me. Keep it up!!! All the love from the Philippines 🤗💕💕💕
Thanks for this video, my little sister finally understood only your video out of the other ones. This one was the easier one for her. Thanks God blesses
Thank you for the tutorial! So easy to follow you along. My baby girl's 2nd birthday is coming up and I will surprise her with her own song. She love when I play nonsense (just a bunch of chords I'm learning) for her but a real song will wow her for sure. And my hubs who doesnt know I'm learning!
Hi Bernadette ☺️ I’ve just bought a ukulele and although there are so, so many tutorials out there, I’m finding yours way easier and simpler to understand and carry out, so I’ll be making my way through all of your videos! Although frustrating right now 😅 I’m looking forward to the journey. My partner turns 26 soon so I’m starting with this tune to help impress him in two week 😂 Thank you! X x Ally
Hi Ally!! 👋🏼 Welcome to this uku community! I am so happy you’re here! I recommend you try the 30 Day Uke Challenge (here on youtube). It’ll help you get all the fundamentals so you can be an independent player!
Thanks for the lesson. It's my mother's birthday today and I won't be with her but I'm Zooming with her this evening and will surprise her with my first learned uke song!
Thankyou for such a great tutorial! :D I got my ukelele today.. looked at a lot of tutorials but because I'm weak at strumming couldn't really do any songs.. one of my friends suggested I try this song and that's how I came across your video! I enjoyed playing along with you :D thank you again ♥️
Hi Bernadette, I am Jackie from Malaysia. I have guitar background, but your videos are so easy to follow and learn. I have picked up many skills on how to play ukulele and am going to purchase an ukulele for practise! Keep the videos coming! And thank you! God bless!
If everyone thinks the b flat chord is to difficult, you can play it otherwise. This song is in the key of f so if you transpose it to the key of c the chords change: F=C C7=G or G7 Bb=F I hope you can play it now!
WoW best Teacher evr 👍 I thought I wouldn't be able to play uku without join classes😓 but u proved it wrong wow nw I can learn online being safe at my home thank q... 😀 My uku will come at Thursday .. n I'm ready for d classes 😎❤️
Thank you so much, Pat! You are really kind for leaving some feedback about what parts of the lesson work well for you! This helps me make better videos in the future :) ❤️❤️
I think this is the perfect tutorial for those who wanna learn how to play the happy birthday song on the ukelele Im gonna practice this to sing for my crush on his bday hehe wish me luck :>
this was so helpful! I've just started learning ukulele, and we only have one in the music class at my school, so at home, I have one I made from paper to practice the accords. will definitely recommend your tutorials to my friends!
I surprised my girlfriend for her birthday by posting a video of me performing this on Instagram (my uke was a gift from her) and she was so, so happy, thank you for this tutorial that inspired me to do it and the helpful tips!
Thanks so much!! Myself and my husband have just knocked it out of the park on pink and blue ukuleles. My friend is going to cry laughing when she gets her birthday video. 😁 First go EVER on one of these and now I’m hooked!
I’m a newbie , I recently just got my ukulele in today . My dad is having his 50th birthday in March and we are going to surprise him, so I would love to use this.
More kid song tutorials please! I'm a preschool teacher and I'd love to one day play songs my students could sing along to. Like itsy bitsy spider, and even Pearly Shells!
Thank you!😊 I hope that I can learn from you how to use the ukilele properly and I have a request. Can you help me to fix the sound of my ukilele? I just bought it last week and I don't think it's out of tune ..
Thank you for the help, tonight after we watch the ball drop on the tele I'll be playing this for my best friend nicholas since his birthday is on January first.
Today is my brother's birthday and he bought me a ukulele for Christmas. So I decided to learn happy birthday for him! thank you sooooo much!!!!! Because looking at google chords is hard when you don't have someone to explain to you!
Your videos are easy to follow. All the teaching materials are well planned in addition to your detailed break down instructions are unbeatable! By the way, I like your cat.😻
Good job....Yes, I think that this should be the 1st song that you learn...It will come in handy one day and there you are, ready to go!......keep singing!......:)
I am late! I want to say thank you for this tutorial. It’s fun, it is made with wonderful moments, sometimes I sit and watch and I must laugh so loud! Best Wishes to your amazing cats! Sorry for my baaaad english but I have no time for learn better...I‘m working on Ukulele
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic She did. Thanks again. You did a great job. How often do you post tutorials? I picked up playing the uke about six months ago.

Oh my gosh! Thank You so much, Mathroots SharpEdge!

Hahahahah noticed it before I see your comment.
With every new video I am noticing more and more Self confidence in your voice. You are a good singer.
Joshua Higginbotham Joshua! It gets a little baby bit easier with every video. Thank you for noticing ❤️

Wow, thank you. I definitely don't feel talented but I am always happy to share what I can with the ukulele community ❤️

There is no way on earth will i be able to stay in rhythm while changing chords from f to b flat . Lord give me strength 😭😭
Amen! 😂
@@rileytyler280 amen too that
Thanks for the tutorial, my sister has a birthday coming up on April 24 and I’m going to play Happy Birthday on the ukulele, and I also agree with all of you who think the b chord is hard!!!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I finally learned a song on my ukulele I’m definitely gonna watch a lot of your videos to learn new songs!!
Wow, B flat is a naughty one, a new one to learn lol. Thank you for the lesson.
oliverdots yes, Bb is naughty 😈 but if you master that, the sky is the limit :)
It's a difficult chord and needs practice.
It's a killer!!!!!
Bernadette Teaches Music Hi, Greetings from New Zealand!!!
Question: what if different name like Joseph mike Ashleigh Alex or Jenny how you can put this in a notes ?
Thanks in advance
@@karensok2123 no it is not very easy
Love your tutorials and your cat! 😻😻😻
This is the first song I’ve ever tried on a ukulele and this tutorial is really helpful

I would have no idea about this Happy birthday ukulele chords without you! Thanks !
If everyone thinks the b flat chord is to difficult, you can play it otherwise. This song is in the key of f so if you transpose it to the key of c the chords change:
F=C
C7=G or G7
Bb=F
I hope you can play it now!
What strumming pattern should we use?
Ive seen some people use C G7 F for this song. What’s the difference and hot to decide what chord to play for a certain song? Thank you.
WoW best Teacher evr 👍
I thought I wouldn't be able to play uku without join classes😓 but u proved it wrong wow nw I can learn online being safe at my home thank q... 😀
