Hi all! If you are new here and interested--I just came out with my 2 year ukulele progress video: ruclips.net/video/lY9_i9qjqiM/видео.html
Here is my ukulele brand recommendation: amzn.to/2LKfkiJ
Thank you for all the love and support! Have a wonderful day! :)
HIIII EDEN!!! 😍😘😁
Eden Ecklund HI! I have been playing for like... 2 weeks witch equals some days
Eden Ecklund hi
Hi and as I watch your video I see myself because I just started playing ukelele yesterday and I feel the struggle. I wish I can be good soon. Does it matter the brand and type of ukelele you use or not? I use cordoba concert ukelele
Hii what ukelele you use soprano conret tenor?
I’m happy I’m not the only one who is struggeling with singing and playing at the same time.
Lianne Groenendijk How you practise this?
Emily Shore
Well, I can say after these 2 months I can do its easily.
I started with ofc one strum per chord.
And after that I did 2 strums per chord.
And after that 4 strums per chord.
After you can do 4, you can try to do
Down, Down, Down, Down, Up.
That’s how I started.
And start with a song you can dream the lyrics off. Just a song you know very well.
I practiced for 3 weeks and I couldn’t do it. And in just 1 hour I randomly could do it!
So don’t give up.
And look for the lyrics and chords on internet, that you know exactly when the chord changes, that helps a lot. You can just stare at the lyrics and you can see exactly where the chord changes.
(Btw the song I did was Radioactive from Imagine Dragons)
I have just bought an ukelele.. I find It really hard to Sing and play at the same time :'(
@@lv8660 practice and patience
ive been playing the ukulele for 2years now and ive never made any progress ;-;
I'm watching a million ukelele videos waiting for my uke to come in the mail lol anyone else?
Im so happy i found this comment it’s me rn 😂 how is it ??
@@suheiras8752 sadly I still haven't gotten it. Lol miss corona had other plans
Omg it's meee😂😂😂😂
Hey even me
Omg same! It was supposed to come today but I didn’t and I think that it will tomorrow😭
Hi, I’m taking my first lesson Wednesday.....had a free session last week. It overwhelming! This is on my bucket list, I’m 72 and never played any instrument. Wish me luck......p.s. your video is inspiring
Jim Sansbury this comment was so wholesome. Hope it’s going along well!
Good luck! Have fun! I am just learning at 53, it is definitely frustrating at first but I am liking it and practice every day!
Good luck! I just bought my first ukulele a few days ago and playing it is sooo much fun! 💕
I BELIEVE IN YOU! U CAN DO IT!😊
Thank you for sharing this vedio... really inspiring...
I'm over 50 and just bought a Uke for myself and one for my 17yo daughter for Christmas. This video is so encouraging! Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow! Good luck!!
Good luck! I hope it’s going well for you.
Michael Cortes I am 53 and got mine for Mother’s Day! Have fun!
How's it going?
I wish I had a sister who taught me ukuelele aaaaah
I don't have a b sister and my older brother plays fortnight all day
👍yee
i have a twin sister who started before me but she wouldn’t teach me :/
I have a cousin who could teach me I’m gonna see her next month
Enigma. Same
You remind me of Elise Ecklund...
I just realized you guys are sisters lmao
texdycat channel omgggg same!
Lol
Sameeee
SAME OMG
texdycat channel 😂
I can't be the only one that started learning ukulele just because of quarantine lmao
I'm right there with you!
Same here :)
got mine yesterdsy
YES!! I tried learning before, but I couldn't really because I was busy. I've had it for like 2 years though lol, love it though! :D
can you give me advice on what ukelele to get :)
People in the comments: "Holding down Ukelele chords really does hurt"
*Me who plays steel string guitar
"I can't feel the pain anymore....I can't feel anything anymore..."
same
i’ve played violin for 10 years before starting the uke, so holding down uke strings aren’t that bad 😂
@@ellamcmillin4697 Steel Tipped Fingers haha
Same lol
Combatkiller90 yoo same! 😂I played the violin for some years and now i play guitar too and it wasnt that bad but the ukelele has nylon strings right? I felt like above ukelele players no offense 😳 bc I was thinking “you dont know real pain” 😐
I have a uke that my sister gave me when I was six and I’ve been playing it ever since. (I’m 17 now) My sister recently passed away because of cancer and I now treasure it. This really inspired me to keep playing after my best friend passed away.
That’s sweet! I’m sorry your sister died, and I’m glad you decided to keep playing!
That’s so sad and inspiring 🥰 I hope u never give up and keep on going! I have a guitar that my grandad gave me and then he passed away I treasure it to 😥
That's so sweet and sad if that happened to me I would do the same 😥 💕
Oh you better hug that ukelele
Thattt is sooo sweet.. also sorry for your loss...
I was like wow she sounds a lot like Elise what a coincidence and she plays ukelele too.... and then I saw her name and the clip of them together
They're SiShTerS
They're sisters lol
Savannah Hernandez saaaameee
Savannah Hernandez i was thinking the same thing
+Savannah Hernandez omggg I was like literally same as u first I was confused then I saw they were sisters
I literally just got a ukelele yesterday and I was browsing youtube for tutorials, and seeing everyone play so effortless I was wondering if I should return the uke back cos I couldn't even hold it properly. Thanks to this video, a fresh wave of motivation hit me. I hope ill get there too! thank you so much for taking us through your journey!
Keep going! You got this!
How's it going?
I'm here to ask about the progress
WHERES THE PROGRESS ITS BEEN A MONTH
I've been learning guitar for two years and ukulele for two years after that, and my teacher just passed away four months ago...😢 he is such a good friend😭 I miss him so much. I play for him to make him proud.
"I HAVE FAT FINGERS"
flashback to my first days learning guitar 😂😂
i always said my hand was to small :P
@Guggled yes I can play
so true when i started to play the ukulele
Amen brother
Luckily I have long fingers, lol
You can definitely see Elise in her
That’s so cool
She's like if Elise was not Elise but Eden, if that makes sense.
Mackenzie Bender you mean you can see Eden in Elise because eden is older
Jada P ty I was going to say that
because of the quarantine I literally spend all day practicing the uke so I've kind of gotten just about to where Eden is at her two month mark in a couple days. But this is mostly because I spend all day (very very literally)
Cat Willden goals!! I’m shopping for one now!
@@anitakoch6054 awesome! update to tell how it goes :)
Cat Willden same! quarantine made me impulse buy 4 ukuleles
@@whatsadoobie incredible :D
same! ive learned so much songs i never had time to learn :D
I just started yesterday, I get so frustrated. I can’t switch my fingers fast enough!! I totally feel like I can’t do it, but I am determined.
changing chords at first can get hard!! the more you get used to the actual chord formation, the easier it is to switch to it. even just practice slowly going between chords too
I started yesterday and I can barely do one song 🤦♀️
Dania Rivera i started with the judge tutorial by elise ecklund :)
Lindsey Shane omg me too ||-//
I got my ukulele a YEAR ago. I didn’t play it last year because it would hurt my fingers so much. But, now since quarantine, is trying to learn and I’m having trouble QwQ
I literally bought a ukulele two days ago and I don't play any other instrument. Strumming and holding the chords really do hurt a lot. I'm so glad I came across this video. It's really inspiring!
Burr.
I thought Elise was voicing over for a second. They sound so similar like holy crap
Evan Rose sisters
Yeah ik but they sound crazy similar
right, except eden’s voice is a little deeper
ikr
@@jjjulianne yeah, edens voice is more practised and mature, while Elise's sounds younger and has more awkwardness.
I'm just starting and I'm 52....should only take me until my 60's to play a song! 🤪
I'm 42 and just got mine today so by the time I'm also in my 60s I should be ok
62 playing 4 weeks but now in lockdown just learnt beethovens fur Elise in an evening. Super proud of myself. Also Beatles yesterday, and radioheads creep . Should in theory be ace by the time we get let out LOL. But I doubt it. My fingers hurt.
@@thurgogopro5338 Fantadtic job!!! I'm sure you'll have great calluses by the time self isolation is over!!
You can do it!!!!!!
Good luck!!!
I’m just learning to play the Ukulele
I’m still having trouble with the strumming and transition into cord this helped me a lot Thanks ❤️
5 mOnThs hOw Ya doIN NoW arE YoU Getting bETtEr
how's it going? :)
10:21 " I have never played in front of anyone before at this time." You calling Elise a nobody? Lol
CatVader :3 she probably meant like alot of people
she probably meant someone other than her own sister and teacher
I started playing about 4 days ago and this is giving me hope I’ll get the strumming right one day 😂
Same
I know a secret how to develop strumming the easy way
i am a teacher and just trying to learn ukulele now..hope i can perform on the stage with my students one day just like u..wish me luck!
Good luck, mister cool Teacher!
"I actually don't know the lyrics", I relate so much
I literally just picked up my ukulele and tried a chord and was like OMG!!! MY FINGERS ARE TOO FAT!!!! Today (maybe tomorrow) will be my day one!!! This is the best video ever! Thank you! I have some hope now!!!!
Erika Staggs HAPPY 4 MONTHS
Happy 8 months! I've been playing around a little over year now, and am working on barre chords. Whatre you working on?
Happy 10 months
Hope your still going
Erika Staggs happy 10 months! Hope you have been learning!
Happy 10 months
i've been playing for 3 days and i know about 7 songs. i'm really proud of how quickly i've been able to learn the ukulele but i still have more to learn about the ukulele. pretty much all my strings are muted 24/7 transitioning is soooo hard and on the first day, i honeslty was going to give up. NEVER GIVE UP!!!
I just started playing, do you think you can give me the list of the songs? (mine r kinda hard) I would really appreciate it :)
"how is it muting???" so relatable lol
purple ink what does it mean by muting?
@@wolfiebear888 Notice at 1:49 when Elise plays the strings, the second and third string are not producing a proper sound (almost like a thud). This is either because you're not pressing hard enough, or because your other fingers are accidentally touching the string. I hope this makes sense!
purple ink sorry kind of yes. Thanks!
YES
Hi, I never usually comment on videos, but I'd just like to thank you and your sister for your videos which have given me the encouragement not to give up. You are both beautiful people, and not just in the superficial sense of the word (though you are that as well obviously). Your generosity and encouragement and willingness to show vulnerability is a great advert for how the internet can be a force for good. Huge thanks
Thank you for your kind words❤️
Did you notice Elise has 666k subscribers ._.
You and Elise inspired me to play ukulele, love you so much!!!
It's 21k.......
they said elise, Eden's sister
@@kendallhiggins1 oh right! Stupid me *shakes head*.
CattyMayer Art Same with me🖤
CattyMayer Art hexakosiohexakontahexaphobie hello😂
I keep seeing videos similar to this and it's making me really wanna start playing the ukulele but I don't even have one
Edit: i got a ukulele
Congrats for getting an Uke!
Uke is such a wonderful instrument
yay
oouu yayy. Trust me, it's hard and first and requires a lot, so much, SO FREAKING MUCH, patience. But it's all fun and worth it at then end. A beginner song I reccomend is "July" by Noah Cyrus.
Congratulations!!!!
Love the edit!! Yay you!
I'm an old guy picking up ukulele after MANY years of not playing, so I feel like a beginner. Thanks for your videos...the point is to have fun! I plan to keep playing so that some day my strings might not sound so muted. You ladies are an encouragement. Thank you and keep playing and keep having fun!
This give me confidence thank you! At first I thought me being slow at playing was UNNATURAL but this video give me proof I can do it thank you! You have a BIG IMPROVEMENT
Thank you! And you absolutely can do it :)) you got this!
Me on my first day: **looks up songs for beginner uke**
List: **shows nursery rhymes**
Me: haha no. Imma go play the beetles.
The song “Let it be” is sooooo fun for beginners, if you want to sing as well XD
:3
Also “Why Does the Sun Shine” by They Might be Giants (look for their official site TMBW) which only uses G, D, C, and E
Also the Adventure Time Theme Song only uses G, D, and C too (this was my first song ❤️)
Izzy O
Oooo thank you! I grew up listening to TMBG so that was really fun!
Hallelujah and (Walk of the earth) - Taekwondo are both great beginner songs :)
there’s a lot of beatles songs that have very few chords!! fun ones are yellow submarine and octopus’ garden
I'm currently learning Ukulele now and I'm on my 9th day and I'm so frustrated for i really struggle on transitioning and strumming but after I saw this it gives me hope that i can still learn. Thank you so much for this. It helped me a lot.
I'm learning guitar and can relate
I just want to say that you were one of my biggest inspiration and that you have no idea how much your ukulele journey means to me. I started Ukulele at about your 2 weeks mark, and you were like my distant uku friend. I would try to catch up with your progress, watch your videos to try to learn from you or just enjoy seeing you struggling the same things i do. Now I'm on my way to mastering the guitar, and it was due in large part to you and your sister's video. There's really no way to thank you enough.
Sisters supporting sisters
Mia Cella yes sisterrrrr
We love that

well, well
And we love that a lott
I’m learning to play ukulele too, and transitioning to G is really so hard! But I’m trying my best hahah
The one full of thoughts- you got this, I totally was in your boat. It’s hard but you got it. Just keep practicing. (I still sometimes have trouble transitioning to g and I have been playing for 2 years.
The one full of thoughts I know it’s so annoying
lol same!
i cant even do the correct G and D chords right ;-;; its like i changed the posituons of my fingers. its a little bit easier, but i dont know if thats legal or no
Same
I watched this a year after she posted this. With a new ukulele in hand. I was excited to get to the point where I can say “yeah, I can play!” Two years later, I got there :)
I had to push through some major frustration, just keep practicing! Pick it up everyday, even for 5 minutes.
This was so encouraging to me! I just got a ukulele today at 32 years old. I hope I can improve like you did over the next year. Thank you for being so awesome and sharing this! It makes others feel like they can really do this!
My ukulele arrives tomorrow. This has been a goal I have been wanting to do for a long time. After watching so many tutorials I am excited to learn. Watching your video struck a chord with me and I am inspired. Thank you so much!
@C.L. Muir hows your progress going
I can’t wait to do this video when I hit a year!! Less than 6 months to go! Super inspiring to see your progress ☺️
I got my ukulele just yesterday as my own birthday gift. My fingers already in pain. 🤣🤣🤣
Try play a violin with steel strings
This video changed everything for me. I got a uke 6 months ago but wasn't really expecting to ever get any good at it. After watching this video a few weeks ago I've been practicing everyday for at least an hour and I'm loving it. You and your sister are awesome. Thanks!
Omg, you guys look like little babies in the little clips😍😁😊
I love the maze runner too dude. Also I love your profile pic 😂
Minho: Dont get killed
Newt: Great, we’re all bloody inspired 🤣
@@lefft0 Lol I know right. I quote The Maze Runner on a daily basis😂
I Love Maze Runner and every day I- wait I shouldn’t say this I don’t know if you’ve read the third book or not. If you have, I hope you know what I’m talking about. We shall pray. 👏
I’ve been actively playing for a little over a year and I love it! I know over 20 chords and a bunch of strumming patterns and I’m super proud. I have (technically) been playing for four years but I didn’t even own one for the first two and I hated playing. Now I’m obsessed. You’re doing great Eden! Love you❤️
Eden, thank you so much for sharing this video. I am a 52 yr old who has longed to learn to play guitar, but I have a condition that effects my hands, and I was just not able to do it. So I picked up a ukelele a few weeks ago, and my hands don’t mind it so much! Watching your progress was so encouraging to me! I look forward to to the day that I can strum and sing together as well! Keep up the great music!
Eden: Than one's gonna be the hardest one to transition to.
E minor: I'm coming...
Ray Man lol yes that is a hard one
Same I hate e minor 😂
it's the easiest one what the hell
E minor is the easiest chord in guitar.
I loooooveeee how Elise was sooo patient and encouraging! We all need that!
I just started last week and I'm getting more confident by the day. Every practice I can feel myself getting more comfortable. My fingers hurt like you at first and I still can't sing and strum but that's a goal I'm setting for myself! I actually follow your sisters tutorials (they are so helpful) and I didn't know she had a sister! So I will start following you as well ❤️keep doing what you're doing!
Aw this is so motivating :) and I love seeing other people motivated and inspired and proud of themselves. Such a postive vibe, i love it ❤️
I love your progress video because you show how much you were struggling in the beginning. Most youtubers just show the most amazing progress from like the first week, but yours was so realistic and so encouraging! I plan to learn acoustic guitar but I might pick up the ukelele too! (my mom has one at home hehehe)
You have really improved!!!
I've had my Ukulele for 6 days and I have been practicing each day, this inspires me to keep going as I want to gain the confidence and skills to play along with any song that I like! Thank you for posting and I will follow along!
How is your progression? So curious!
I’ve just received my first beginner ukulele. I’m hyped but haven’t a clue. You are an inspiration, thank you!
This is really encouraging. Thanks so much for showing your progress. So hard to keep going when you suck, but only one way to get better.
I just got my first ukulele today. It's just a small $20 one, but perfect for me to start learning. I hope I can learn it easily and not struggle so hard.
Did you get better?
is it tuned?
I’m pre-Day 1! Your progress video is such an inspiration & kick in the pants to just get started & practice, practice, practice!
Thanks for the inspiration! I am one week in and this is my first instrument I am learning. Seeing that it is possible, makes me feel better about my struggles. The sing and strum is a huge hurdle. Keep up the good work and thanks again for sharing your journey!!!
Wow! Yo are amazing and made me feel so much better about my progress. I am teaching myself and I learned so much from you. Thank you for posting this!
Ah thank you, it’s really reassuring to see your progress. Now I’ll know it’ll get easier in the future 😅 it’s my first day, 4th hour of playing the ukulele.
Thank You Eden for inspiring us!! 😋 I've been learning the guitar so I will be trying extra hard for you!!🤗🤗🤗
This video is super encouraging for new players to watch!! I'm in month one of learning the ukulele and I LOVED watching your progress, thanks for posting :)
Super encouraging! I’ve been wanting to learn for so long and since we’re quarantined I figured there’s no better time. Your sisters videos are helpful!
I’m hitting 3 month progress soon! Thanks to you and your sister I would never have thought to play the ukulele and I thank you very much!
Wow watching this is weird for me. I started playing ukulele when I was 3 because my dad played ukulele and guitar professionally (he was a music teacher but then he quit to play with his band full time) he taught me to have perfect pitch and to play the ukulele from very young so it’s always just been a thing I can do. I’ve always been able to sing and play whatever chord I want with ease, I can also do fingerpicking surprisingly easily. It takes me about an hour or two of just solid playing to learn a new song if it’s really complex. I’m extremely grateful of my father teaching me uke straight away. Being able to play an instrument is an amazing blessing, whether you can just play one chord or eighty.
My dad is currently on tour in the Americas with his jazz band playing with some of the best musicians still alive, while I’m stuck at home doing my GCSEs 🙄 But I did get to go with him on his tour of Europe and I got to play with people I’ve only since found out are actually legends in the jazz world. It’s amazing to see your progress. You should definitely keep it up, music is the closest thing to magic there is. You are already an awesome player, and to get there in just a year is amazing. Keep up the great progress! ❤️
Also, if you want to start doing fingerpicking, and you haven’t already, I recommend you start with something really easy like ‘Happy birthday’ but then straight after you get the hang of it and you are fine with reading TABs go to do a more intermediate song like ‘Here comes the sun’ If you jump straight into it you’ll get a way better understanding much faster I think. That and ‘Here comes the sun’ is just a really fun song to play..
Eric Lemmon that’s so cool what’s the name of your dads band I’d like to check it out:)
@@tyahmae8205 There is no band
I love how genuine this was, and you are SO good, I feel like it shows that even a little each week makes a huge difference
Uke wasn't hard for me to pick up, on day one I could do the basic chords and sing while playing. Now on the 5th month, am strumming and making my own little songs now :D
Please note that before Uke, I played the acoustic Guitar and sang while doing it, I've been playing for 3 years so that made Uke easier for me to pick up. Don't give up guys, you can do it! It just takes hard work and effort ^^
Same i just bought mine 2days ago and im already learning my 2nd song. The hard part is singing along while playing :((((
How do you even????!!!
@@vivilev8031 timing, you just have to keep in mind that on certain words you have to strum a different chord :DDD you'll perfect it on the way but that's what I did
@@livii4809 i manage to change chords in the right time its just really the strumming is a struggle. I mean when i start the sing i lose the strumming pattern and it sounds a mess. :(((
But thank you ill keep practicing im just being too impatient
@@vivilev8031 I suggest trying to play the song at a slower tempo and at one part at a time :DDD maybe memorize the strumming first and then start singing, your muscle memory should tap in
Same, but I never played the guitar🙊 I really dont know why I learned it so fast🤔
I am most amazed how your singing has improved alongside the ukelele
Ainhara Cecilia Aita Arrascue I’m sure her singing improved with the practice as well as her confidence. Pretty much everything gets a little better over time if you practice
me :
“omg her sister looks a lot like elise eck- oh.”
That’s literally me. “I actually don’t know the lyrics” 😂😂😂
I just want to say thank you for posting this. I just picked up the Ukulele after playing Bagpipes for 10 years. I am so excited to see my progress now! Thank you, great job
I needed to see this today. Ive been trying to teach myself how to play ukulele and I am finding it frustrating and seeing this was so encouraging. Thank you. 💜
I love how much you’ve been progressing with your ukulele skills and I’m so proud of you for it, i can’t wait for when I hit a year I’ll do a video of my uke progress thanks to you and Elise. Love ya ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
So inspiring to me. I just started playing 3 weeks ago. Feel like I'm making some progress but having trouble moving from chord to chord. Especially Em. G is easier for me. So glad to see you playing songs with just easy chords. Gives me hope. And strumming! And singing along! Wow! Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your 1 year journey! I see that you also have a 2 year progress... but honestly, this 1 year journey is an inspiration. My Grandma taught me how to play when I was very little and I never kept up on it. My husband bought me my own uke a few years ago for my birthday and I am JUST picking it up, determined to be able to play it!! My goal is to be able to play over the holidays for my family and THIS shows me that I can do that! THANK YOU! (You also inspire me to record my own progress!!)
I’m 65 yo and began learning ukulele during the Covid lockdowns mainly to keep me busy and hopefully the singing might help a lung condition I developed. I can absolutely connect with your journey. I still struggle with some chord changes and bar chords . You and your sister look like good mates . I love that. You inspire me to keep practicing and be happy with where you are 💞🌸
Thank you for posting your 1 year progress. I literally started learning (aged 66!) one week ago, my husband bought me my first uke. I'm at the sore finger stage right now so watching your video has spurred me on as learning all the cords etc is quite a challenge atm.
this was so encouraging! thanks for being so humble to share your journey. I just ordered a uke and I'm looking forward to learning.
Thank you for posting this. It really is inspiring to see how much you have improved from your first year to now!
You and Elise are like literal twins!
You sound nearly like her!
Both of your voices are beautiful and you guys are truly gifted!!!
I just started learning to play the ukulele today! This video is really encouraging and I hope I can play as good as you in one year from today :)
HoW Ya dOinG AftEr 5 MontHS
How are ya after 9 months?? I want an update
i hope too!
Jocelyn How are you today!
How ya doing after a year?
Thank you so much for posting this and sharing your progress. I've been at it for 2 weeks and was feeling discouraged, but now I see I'm right where I should be.
I feel so encouraged! I’m a month in with no previous string instruments experience and only very beginner piano experience. CONGRATS!!!!! Keep it up!
tengo 3 dias con mi ukulele, y he visto como 50 tutoriales "aprende a tocar en 10 minutos" ya estaba desanimandome, pero este video me dio nuevos animos, me pondre una primera meta de 6 meses, gracias por este video!!
It's 2020 and it's the first time I tried ukulele and I'm so motivated now to learn :D much love from germany!
It gives me hope. I took my ukulele out yesterday and was earnestly working on it. I keep reminding myself of the power of yet.
Great job! Encouraging! Fun to witness your progress and confidence! 👏👏👏 Totally gives me hope! 😃
Whos watching this in 2020
Edit: woah I check this 5 months later and I see the amount of likes XD hope yall are safe during this rough time!❤🥰
👇❤
AwkwardSpacePig yes
I've been playing ukelele since may or june consistantly and I just rather recently learned how to do bar chords! When I first started I avoided the songs with them because I thought they were impossible because of my small hands. But now I can play a BM chord! I kinda avoid strumming patterns but maybe I should practice haha.
Good job eden, keep it up!
Just bought my first Uke, love your video, giving motivation :) looking forward to seeing more x
i'm back again here from feb. 2 2019 It was the 1st day i bought my own uke because of Elise💕 I watched this 'cause at first I was really sad for I can only like Down Strum everytime . I can only do the 4 most common chords or the C G Am F chords. I was very inspired by you and Elise to keep continuing what I love to do which is to play uke. Now It's almost 1 year lol I mean 1 month more and it's going to be 1 year and I am happy to say that I've already showcased my uke skills in our school. I played uke in our camping and currently getting ready to join a talent show. I am also helping a friend who's a beginner at playing uke. You guys did great at making us believe we can do things. Thank you to the both of you!
As a new, doubtful ukulele player, thanks for reminding me it takes time and a lot of practice!! 😌
- from, someone who was very close to giving up learning. X
It’s been six months, hows your progress?
The Notlows do u think i could teach myself?🥺
Via.Haini TV yeeess you can, internet is great resource and on my first day when i first got ukulele i learned 10 chords by myself you can do it!!!
I just started today! (03/01/2020) I’m learning “You are my sunshine” right now. Wish me luck!
I ordered my uke and will be here tomorrow so tomorrow will be day 1 for me. Im really excited to start.
I have actually been playing ukulele for almost three years now, though i will admit i have never practiced as much as i should and haven’t done very much in the way of challenging myself in learning either. that being said, i finally started working on more complex chords (i just mean bar chords) and picking patterns. it’s nice to see someone else’s journey. keep working at it! practicing is all it takes as you seem to have taken in stride :)
Just bought my first Ukelele 3 days ago... Loved watching your progression! I pray I can do as good as you!
Nice to see somebody having see same speed of progress and not go insane as you see in other videos.
My husband just got me my first uke for Christmas! He plays guitar, he’s so excited to play with me! Thanks for this video, it was very inspiring. I’m gonna go practice now!
My wife got me one for Christmas as well. We both want to get into playing instruments, but I think I'm not coordinated enough...
Thank you for this, especially for telling us how much (or little) you practiced. I am just starting (again after giving up a few times) and it is so comforting to see how much progress you made after struggling at the beginning. I can play chords, single strum, but changing chords or strumming a pattern still seems impossible (or just really, really s l o w) and I won't even try singing yet. So many tutorials (while well done) make it looks likes its so simple and it isn't. Your video makes me believe that I can actually do this too. :)
Great job Eden! I'm learning the guitar now and it's tough. Just like it was for you. I'm learning my 9 chords and I'm getting better at it. I realize anything you have to learn is hard in the beginning. But giving yourself a realistic deadline to be good is important too. I'm giving myself a year to be fluent. And 2 years to play very well. I practice 30 minutes EVERY SINGLE day before work and that has helped me make some pretty good improvement. Seeing your progress is encouraging!
