Brilliant, I have never played any instruments before, and decided to have a go. Bought myself a ukulele on Tuesday, and came across your beginners videos. One word - fantastic... you explain it in simple terms and so easy to follow, thanks for uploading, looking forward to learning more with your aid...but for now, I’m off to watch your video and learn to play one of my fav songs. Thanks and wish you all the best that life has to offer you x
@Lee Benson how is it going? It been a year! I dont play ukulele anymore I only started playing in the first place bc of a girl I wanted to be like but when I realized I wanted to be myself I started guitar instead
@@huddy8484 my opinion is that i believe in everybody with all my heart and that the b chord could be very easy if one practices it. I'm just sad that people don't play certain songs because they're not committed to increasing their skill. Yes, it may be harder for others, but im trying to encourage people to give it a try
I'm not a guitarist, playing uku since 2months or so and I dont find it hard, once they're gonna find out about the Fm7 chords or something similar in terms of where you put your fingers, they're gonna freak out.
Oh my gosh come ON. You think barring a b chord on ukulele is hard? Try doing that on a guitar ! MUCH harder. Strings are thicker, heavier, and you just have a lot more to press down with more pressure. B is fairly simple, and tbh, you only have to bar the first two strings like I normally do
@@Drewski777 Ditto. I play the A chord with just my index fingertip on guitar. Then for B, I need 4 fingers. Even then, I find B to be perfectly playable. Stuff like Gmaj9 is where I start thinking, can I transition fast enough? And I'm not even a good guitarist.
As a 41 year old dad without a musical bone in my body, thank you.. it’s still early days but I’m slowly learning,, strumming patterns are the devil! 😂 Thanks again and have a fantastic 2020
my parents were singing this in the vehicle and they were both saying "freak" instead of "creep" and I was just thinking but isn't the song called "creep" ??
When you were here b4 Couldn't look u in the eye You're Just like an angel Your Skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You so very special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I wanna have control I want a perfect [??] I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What am I doing here I don't belong here She's running out again Oh she's running out She runs runs runs runs runs
That was absolutely lovely 👏🏼 I have just been given a ukulele from my grandson and I was looking on RUclips for some instruction. So glad I came upon you - you have a very relaxed way of teaching.
Getting my 9 year old daughter a Ukulele for her birthday this month. She adores the ukulele. In music class at school, she spends about 10 minutes on one a week due to lack of qty. of them for everyone to use. She gets so excited when it's music day. Always picks the ukulele. I am referring her to your videos to give her inspiration. You are so passionate and clear in your teachings. Makes me want to play the piano and guitar again. Only wish I had the time. Thank you beautiful, you.
ELISE I JUST LEARNED THIS ON MY OWN LAST WEEK AND NOW YOU UPLOAD THIS AHHHH 😂 I wish i waited a little longer to learn it lmao, it would've been a lot easier for me! But this will help me perfect it at least :)
I love your teaching style, I bought a ukulele while visiting a friend last weekend and now I’m practicing. I like your teaching style the best of all the channels that Ive watched
Excellent. Just started two months ago. All the B Chord haters, I woke up this morning, tried "Creep" again, I can now do the B! It's taken two months, so you will get it.
I haven't played uke for a long time but the other night I grabbed it and decided to tune it and I'm glad I did. I stopped playing when I started getting depressed and used to spend all day in bed. So sad that took away my music. I have a pretty nice guitar too... it's a little more intimidating but I hope to start playing again. Thanks for getting me back into playing ukelele
Elise, thank you so much for the very informative video. I’ve been playing for about 8 months now. I can play the simple versions of Hallelujah, Riptide, and have been in search of new song to play. Thanks for helping me find it and the inspiration to keep playing. Your the best!
I've absolutely nothing against swearing in songs but I always preferred the radio edit of this one. The original just seems needlessly crass for such a melancholy song
Thank you Elise. Your teaching style is very accessible and warm. I once saw a girl perform Creep in a dark open mike night who absolutely opened up and i was totally blown away. The contrast of three factors nailed it...The delicate and sensitive Uke sound with the heartfelt, powerful, desperate cries of such vulnerable sentimental lyrics. I cried with the identification of unworthiness and felt joy of acceptance and self expression. As i approached to congratulate her afterwards i saw she was actually male, signified by a very long thin goatee beard. So i shrunk away in fear. Maladjustment to the opposite sex got the better of me. It was beautiful and destabilising experience of an amazing song so very well executed.
Thank you for putting the strumming pattern on there so i dont have to keep backing up to rewatch it!! Every video i gotta back it up 3-4 times to make sure i got it
THIS VIDEO HAS MY FAVORITE RUclipsR AND FAVORITE SONG AND FAVORITE INSTRUMENT I AM SCREAMING 😱I love you and your channel Elise! Don't stop posting your great content
Thank you SO MUCH ❤️ I have looked at a lot of tutorials and so often they mention the chords but don’t even talk about the strumming pattern! 🙄 And in my opinion the strumming is the hardest part! Thank you sooo much for going in depth with the strumming pattern! It helped! I’m subscribing 😊 PS: you are cute as a button omg 😭
For everyone freaking out about the dreaded *B chord* , when I was trying to learn this a couple days ago and saw it, I looked up if there was an even *easier* version... and I found out you could replace it with the chord B7! It’s way easier to hold imo. Hope this helps someone out!
Oh Jeez.. i’ve felt in love in your playing and singing.. i’m going to buy an ukulele and start training hard.. your videos motivate me a lot. Thank you so much!

Elise, thank you for posting these tutorials. I love your voice and your teaching skills are excellent. I have loved learning the ukulele, and you are a wonderful instructor. Sending love from Ohio!
hi Elise! I request that you do ukulele tutorials that are a lil bit more difficult for the people that have been playing the uke longer. and also, you could play a bit of the song before you start the tutorial, it will attract people's attention. either way, I really like your videos and your voice is amazing! love u Elise ♡♡♡
I am an absolute beginner!! And i just learn my first cords thanks to your video. I love this song and you made it look so easy. You are awesome! Continue your great work 🙏🙌👏👏
Great video, very much appreciated! Next time please finish the song. I was so excited with my ability to carry through the song and was ready to whail at the peak and you stopped. Great teaching points too.
That B chord is what i see in sleep paralisys.
WA luigi lmaooooo
I see big spiders dangling over my face in the dark
Well, as long as you’re paralyzed holding the chord?🤔
Course, not a lotta sound with no strummin’ lol
Yee. In guitar, f chord
try playing b7sus2
I've been avoiding that B chord for half a year now, thank you for motivating me to finally practicing it :)
Get it down
For real. It's not even hard 😭😭
Good job though :)
Andrew is right. It's hard because you haven't done it thousands of times yet. Gets easy. Once you get that done, playing gets way easier.
Same!!

I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep

I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice

She's running out the door (run)
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
