Melbourne Ukulele Community
Австралия
Добавлен 22 дек 2017
I started this group because I believe playing music and singing are good for mental and emotional health. Also, it's a lot of fun :) Looking forward to playing music and singing with you!
This community is for ukulele beginners who want to strum and sing along with their ukes. Every week, we learn two or three new songs that are well-known and easy for beginners to play. We meet twice a week. On Mondays 7 to 9pm (AET), we meet online. And on Thursdays 6 to 8 pm, we meet face-to-face in Kensington (3.5 km from Melbourne CBD) (no sessions during school holidays). Our sessions are free and there are spare ukes that you can reserve if you haven't bought a uke yet.

Great ...just what we needed to send to Steve in Brisbane...50 today. Thankyou for a perfect present. Really lovely. Lots in the family enjoy playing the uke. xx love from the UK. xx
Happy birthday, Steve!
💜
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for sharing - I've done a pdf of the words & chords but can't load it here - would you like it to share with others
Thank you! If you could upload it to google docs, then you can post the link to it here
Thanks I appreciate the time and pdf, it going to help me a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
🔥🔥🔥
thank you!
Btw..I’m in the UK and can’t sing….
Thank you so much for posting songs like these with not too many chords for relative beginners like me. Watching you all and trying to play and sing along is so uplifting! Please keep posting more!
Thank you! We do Zoom play alongs on Mondays - 10am UK time (8am when the clocks change). Please drop in anytime.
Pardon me, I’m a beginner. What is the strumming pattern? Thx!
D.D D D DuDu uD - Shuffle rhythm
@@MelbourneUkuleleCommunity thank you so much! Love your group here in Ohio, USA! ❤️
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Great! Fun and easy to play! Sounds good!
Thanks a lot!
💜💜💜
thank you!
My favorite Creedence song. Great job!
Thanks very much! 🙏
A blast from the past. Great stuff.🤙
Lovin your play alongs.🤙⭐️
Thanks, Wilma! Waiting for you to turn up and join in the video one day!
That’s great
Thank you!
This Cajun is playing along! 👏👏👏 Well done!
Thank you!
👏👏👏. Love it!
So glad! Thank you!
We just had a concert like this yesterday! I am from Ontario Canada
Thanks for watching! We try to record one video every week.
Nothing is better than a group of people with the same kind of interest gather and learn from one another. I just joined a ukulele group too, I know how it feels
love the bloopers , and pre. a great group collaboration. well done gang
Thanks, Wilma!
This is the best tutorial I have found after looking at quite a few. Going to have to slow it down but I'm sure I'll get it after watching this. Thanks for the great video angle!
Thank you for the feedback, Wendy!
Remember the format: each full stop i.e. ( .... ) this means 4 beats in this score and watch out for the key change with no lead in!
Rachel Martin Steve Rachel Martin diry diry do not Camille today need Steve today
❤🎉 Steve Rachel today for Janice song
You guys are so much fun, I wish I wasn't on the other side of the world so I could play with you in person! I tried playing along with this video and had no problems playing all the chords or with switching from chord to chord in time with the music, but my strumming was very very off. I couldn't figure out which strumming pattern you were all utilizing for this song. Could you please give me a hint so I can follow along with all of you. Thanks in advance and thank you so much for sharing this wonderful performance for me to follow along with.
Thank you! We are playing one downstrum per beat. Some are doing two downstrums per beat
@@MelbourneUkuleleCommunity Awesome, thank you very much!!!!
Well done Fi
Thank you!
Well done Fi, another great performance
Thank you!
Another stella performance Fi. Wish I could’ve been there. Any chance of you performing at HUF.🙏💕
Not sure if they have room in the program but maybe I should ask
Love the Beatles music, and I loved listening to you playing it. 👍 💕
Thanks, Lida!
I enjoyed your performance very much. I was glad to be there for the live performance!
Very comforting to see you in the audience, Judith! Thank you.
You got a new subscriber
Thank you, and welcome to the community!
@MelbourneUkuleleCommunity Thank you. This pattern is soneasy but so hard at the same time since muscle memory parttern repetition is key there.
Great work everyone.💕
Thanks, Wilma! 😀
You should do it with the 3 key changes as per the original. That'll get the fingers (and brains) working....
I have many beginners in my group so I like to keep it simple. But I agree with you that the original version is more interesting to play - I might do another play along separately.
@@MelbourneUkuleleCommunity I’m glad that you are keeping it simple as it gives my wife and I a chance to play along (we are beginners) 👍
@@MelbourneUkuleleCommunity TBH we did it with the key changes and it bombed, so I took out the changes and it died from lack of interest. Though interestingly a song like "Mack the knife" remains popular without the changes. Perhaps because there's more violence in it ...😄
Cute ❤
thanks, Rhonda!
❤
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this, I’ve been looking for a song with not too many chords as I’m just starting to learn the ukulele and trying to get used to strumming patterns ect. I’m looking forward to my ukulele journey to see where it takes me 👍
Glad it was helpful! We've got a couple more easy songs in our RUclips channel - look for those with 3 chords or so.
Thank you, my friends birthday is tommorow. Thanks to you I'm able to play happy birthday with the uke
You're welcome! Please feel free to look at our other tutorials and play along videos.
Brilliant stuff! 😀
Thanks! 😀
Love all the play alongs. Fantastic lead in the bridge. 👌🏻 Keep up the great work everyone.👌🏻💕
Thanks, Wilma!
Adore your videos... But for us L-platers, would you be willing to included suggested strum pattern each time? Would be greatly appreciated
@@susanjarman9110 good suggestion! Most of our play alongs (llike this one) utilise the simple downstrum pattern - 1 downstrum per beat.
@@MelbourneUkuleleCommunity ok thank you! And if you want to go more complex?
@@susanjarman9110I would do dudududu but in a shuffle rhythm.
Beautiful have to learn this, thanks for sharing. From Ireland ❤
Thanks, Mary!
Well Done everyone. Liked your little solo moment Fi.👌🏻💞
Thanks, Wilma!
fun! I wonder if any other songs use only two chords?
Yes of course there are, but the problem with these is trying to make them not sound deadly boring. Just don't go near "A horse with no name" 😣. There's a couple of Mavericks songs that go quite well, because they're pretty upbeat.
@@Stig4997 lol. I guess I worded my question wrong - I enjoyed 'paperback writer', so are there any other 'good' songs that have only two chords?
try Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell
Great job everybody. Sounded terrific.
Thanks, Wilma!
Great starting to play now can join a group in Australia I'm in Ireland. Thank you for posting.
Welcome to the group! Join our zoom sessions on Mondays 7am Ireland time
Great stuff, strumming along with you from Normandie France. Tony
Thanks for joining in!
well done everyone, sounds really good. Love the lead part in this, sounds great.😃
Thanks, Wilma!
You're great! And this is a cool folk song that I can easily learn as a beginner. Thanks for it, folks! Glad that I found your channel.
Thank you! We will try to add a video every week or two.
Super 👍 Danke 🙏
Thanks for watching ☺️
We are doing this as well. Havenstreet Ukulele Group (HUG), Havenstreet, Isle of Wight, England
Very nice Fi x 4 ! Happy New Year!
Thanks, Judith!
Love this! Hope I can save this to my computer. I want to play along!
