    So I have been playing both Baritone and Tenor Ukulele for about 6 months now, and this is the first time I have found your channel here on YT. This was an excellent tutorial and your method for getting quick and smooth chord changes was new to me and very helpful. I currently practice 20 songs daily, and go through each song at least 5 times per playthrough. I then focus on any of the sections I still struggle with and 9 out of 10 times it is due to slow chord changes. I will implement your technique and hopefully it will improve my playing skills. Thank you for this video lesson and it was so good, that I have subscribed to your channel.

    • @theawesomeukuleleacademy
      @theawesomeukuleleacademy 4 месяца назад

      Thanks! Pleased I hit the mark. Learning an instrument is just about repetition and building muscle memory. Just slow it all down and work on the changes. Have fun!

    You are teaching the secret to learning how to play the ukulele, which virtually no one else teaches: that the focus should be on chord transitions, not individual chords. I wish I found your RUclips channel 4 years ago!

    I’ve just began to learn the ukulele. Your videos are super helpful. Please keep up the great work. Thanks. My biggest fault is I’m pressing on the string like they are thick bass strings. 😮 How can I overcome this quickly?

    • @theawesomeukuleleacademy
      @theawesomeukuleleacademy 9 месяцев назад

      As I am a bass player with huge sausage fingers, I feel qualified to answer this! Hold down the strings of a chord and slowly release pressure until the strings start to buzz then increase pressure. Play with this until you find a pressure that works with the new instrument. It just takes a bit of getting used to. You'll be fine!

  • @peterbriggs207
    @peterbriggs207 9 месяцев назад

    One of your tutorials re playing chords insisted on the thumb being placed in the centre of the back of fretboard. As soon as you started playing rockin around the Christmas tree your thumb was sticking straight over the top I couldnt help but notice

    • @theawesomeukuleleacademy
      @theawesomeukuleleacademy 9 месяцев назад

      Well noticed!!! One of the big issues when people start playing is accidentally touching strings that they shouldn't be touching while they are fingering the chord shapes. The best way to avoid this is making sure that your fingers are coming down from above and one of the best ways for beginners to ensure this is happening is to place the thumb in the middle of the back of the neck - it forces the whole hand round. Once your chords are all sounding great, you can be a lot more flexible with the 'thumb on the back of the neck rule'. As I am😁👍. Hope that helps!

  • @koalatails5711
    @koalatails5711 10 месяцев назад

    “Always form cords the same way!” That almost contradicts the tip, “learn how to change between cords”. It can be so easier to use a ‘different’ finger to play simple cords. (eg. Am), because it requires less movement of fingers, when changing from the cord before and after it.

    • @mattparkin8838
      @mattparkin8838 10 месяцев назад

      Sometimes what seems easiest doesn’t set you up for what you are going to need to play or learn next. I’ve not contradicted myself. Changing between chords effectively is what allows you to play songs effectively. If you constantly use different fingers, as a beginner it will slow you down and you won’t be effective. You’ll just get confused. Trust me - stick with the fingers I suggest. Have fun!!

    Hello from north wales. My two lads in rock bands for years, me unpaid roadie. Picked up guitar, off and on over the years not a complete novice. But could be a lot better! retired now, saw a baritone ukulele tutorial on RUclips. So I bought one, tuned like a guitar, deeper sound, plenty of room on the neck! A game changer for me. Not as frustrating as guitar.

    Ridiculous! of course you have to learn the chords. How can you change between them if you don`t know them in the first place?

    • @theawesomeukuleleacademy
      @theawesomeukuleleacademy 11 месяцев назад

      Learning where to put your fingers is not enough on it's own. If you can't move with fluidity between chords you can't play songs. And most importantly, learning the chords in isolation is dull. Learning them as part of the change gives the learning some purpose because it relates to the song, which means it's much more fun. And if you're not having fun, what's the point! Have a great day!!!!

    Thanks for this - your focus on the transition between chords is so much more helpful for a beginner that several other heavily subscribed “beginner” tutorials on RUclips. Love your rendition of this song - I saw Eartha Kitt live in Dublin almost 40 years ago and this was definitely her most memorable song - I can still picture her singing it .. along with the goosebumps! Who knows - with a lot of practice I might just be able to achieve a passible rendition by Christmas!

    • @theawesomeukuleleacademy
      @theawesomeukuleleacademy 11 месяцев назад

      Yep - it's the movement between the chords that is the important thing. And remember, however many chords a song has, you are only ever moving between two chords. Break anything down into its component parts and it becomes so much easier. You saw Eartha Kitt!!!!! I have gig envy! Watch out for our Charity Christmas Play-Along in the Facebook Group. We'll definitely be doing Santa Baby then. 👍
