why am I even here? It's three AM. And im going to Stockholm tomorrow. I don't even have an ukulele
Your icon is wonderful btw. Hello fellow whovian o:
thank you, and hello :D
linasuperdina hi, I like this video, especially the ideas in the second half for ukulele lessons online
. Something I also found useful for how to play the ukulele dvd
was Panlarko Amazing Uke Planner - it will be on google if you need it
I love that I wrote I don't have an ukulele and people start telling me where to find lessons to play ukulele. Thats like teaching a man living in a desert how to fish
The rain forms ponds even in the desert. But yeah, it's addicting isn't it.
*Practices at two AM without actually owning a ukulele*
same
I have a ukulele
Me three
I just bought one.
YesILikeTØP Hehehe same
I just love the way he says ookalehleh
+Kevin Martin My whole life is a lie
@Raven Playz isnt it meant to be pronounced "ook ka le le' though?
Raven Playz it’s pronounced like that in hawaii
Harshi Ganip HHAHA
@Raven LycanLycan lmao its not an English word though, the proper pronunciation of the word is oo-ku-leh-leh, Hawaiian for jumping fleas.
comments:
-i don’t have a ukelele and its midnights
-im not tyler joseph
-i got a ukelele as a gift
i relate on such a high scale
I love my Uke. I just started learning how I can play three songs and I am taking lessons online from some of these sites. I really don't care if I ever get good enough to play in public, but it sure takes up a lot of my idle time. I'm 74 I lost my partner three years ago so this was a blessing for me.
I am sorry for your loss and hope playing the ukulele brings you joy!😊💜🫂
Well done you! I'm 70 and just got my first Ukulele. 👍👍🇬🇧
It's been OVER 5 minutes and I'm still not Tyler Joseph

silly goose 😂😂😂
Same
You came here to be him too?
I tried watching Can't Help Falling in Love Cover and watching where his hands were. Didn't work
I don't understand why no one has ever made an instructional video as though the learner is looking from the same angle as the teacher, thus looking at the fretboard the same way, instead of (essentially ) backwards. The camera would be shooting down, slightly out, but over the teacher's, in this case right, shoulder, so as to be looking at the fretboard exactly the same as the teacher. It would make it SO much easier.
So true! Do it Charles!
If I ever become good at playing ukelele, I will TOTALLY do this
here bc my mum just surprised me with a uke today and i really want to be Dodie Clark

Emøtiønal Crybaby same I'm so excited

Right now, in January 2020, a full *nine years* after this video was posted, it _really_ helped this 56 year old brand new Ukulele owner (just bought it earlier today, along with a little chromatic tuner!) tune and strum for the very first time. I'm grinning from ear to ear, which I'm told is kind of a side effect to playing this happy instrument.
Just subscribed too. Thank you for posting these tutorials! ♥
Just found this sight.
Quarantined in Missouri and I have an amazing instrument
17 months old to me and I want to play.
We have to work together to get this man on akinator
Please support
samuel shepherd uhh u talkin abt that game with the genie thingy??

I've been subscribed to you for 2 or 3 years, and I finally bought a brand-new ukulele for my birthday. I'm both so excited to have it, and so frustrated because my fingers don't seem to want to do what they're supposed to do. It's ok, though...every new thing feels weird and impossible at first.
I've decided to accept that I suck for now, and that is totally ok. when else am I expected to be awful at something? I won't worry about how much I suck until at least next week. 😊
Thanks for putting up videos to help me learn to make pretty music! Maybe one day I'll record a thank you video!
Idk lol
I will thnks
Toma Lipa I'll look into it. Thanks!
+Laynie Fingers I LOVE it! I've had the same experience. My fingers won't bend correctly. My Uke playing friend tells me practice, practice, practice.... it will get easier. I also saw another RUclips video that said.. practice each part of the cord if you cannot execute it all together. I have trouble with Bm so I'm trying it one finger at a time in the proper position. Hope that helps... good luck. I suck too, but it's fun
+Laynie Fingers Hey , how good have you gotten ?
i play guitar and i want to get a ukulele just because and this looks ridiculously easy
Honestly it's not
it probably isn't but I got a couple of days ago and im almost halfway through learning bohemian rhapsody on it. Its basically a simplified guitar
+DVDROCK006 IS THIS THE REAL LIFE IS THIS JUST FANTASY
+DVDROCK006 After wanting for ages to play the Ukelele I came across Arthurs Uke Blog and this appears to be the simplest online course (check it out on google)

Pls just shoot me so I don't have to do it myself. wtf am I doing with my life.
This was really well done, well explained, and now I MUST get a uke. You made me see I could do it! Thanks! Aloha, Annie
Of all these ukulele tutorials this one is the most helpful. I finally learnt G chord
Best video ever
Are you going to play uke

Scooters are better lol
NinjaLifestyle I didn't expect to see you here
+NinjaLifestyle hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to learn ukulele try Panlarko Amazing Uke Planner (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
I don't have a real ukulele yet so I just put four lines (strings) going up and down and three lines (frets) going side to side to practice
Brenna Norman so creative!
Jersey Gianna Thanks. I have one now and I love it. Practicing on paper actually helped me. It really payed off! 😁
KittyCatLover how did u make it ? :D
My dominant hand makes a cracking noise every time I twist it. So the up to down thing is crack crack crack

funny how i found this comment and they posted new music today ayyy
Thank you. I’m about to get a ukulele soon and this helped me with the chords. I’m bored in quarantine so I’m thinking to try using ukulele. Recommended!!
I decided to take up the Uke a couple years ago. Problem is, I'm left handed. I decided to just turn it around and learn the chords upside down. Problem is, I couldn't find any books on upside down Uke chords. Apparently most left handers just restring the instrument.
I took it one chord at a time and here's what I discovered.
Most Uke chords are easier to play upside down, especially the ones that give beginning right handers problems. Like E, D. Bb for example. Those chords are very EASY upside down, and for left handers wanting to learn, I recommend trying the chords upside down. Now as you would expect there are some exceptions. I can not play some chords upside down in their normal position, like F#, Ab, Gb, F7 for example. For those chords I move to the next position up. F#, F7, F#7, turn super easy. E7 is a common chord I thought I couldn't play in the normal spot upside down, it's a little difficult, but I can do it now,. If you can't play in the regular spot, investigate the next one up. Also I found moving from chords in the regular spot to position #2, adds more voices to the song, IMO. It sounds more interesting, and it's more fun, and less boring to move around the fret board.
Amazing man! Thanks for sharing all that knowledge! I specially liked the tuning part at 0:43!
Oh my goodness, you are the Only person that has helped me. Trust me when I say I am truly a beginner. Ive been a vocalist for years, but never played an instrument. Showing how to hold the hands really helped a lot
Sick! Now I can play the Stressed Out Ukelele Version!
in 2 years when I'm done with practicing!
It's been 2 years. How good are you now?
Yes l've just started to learn how to play the Ukulele and l'm really enjoying learning my very first string instrument. 🙂
I just want to be Tyler Joseph and Josh dun
Once I have mastered them both
I have become my own panic! At the disco
THANK YOU!!!! My music teacher does not know how to play the Ukulele. So this Helped me so much!!!!!
IS EVERYONE HERE AT 2AM D:
Quite possibly.
+HeyItsAshuri Yep

I am totally getting a ukelele now.
Eyeconic 
WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I watched this vid. twice and now, I can play the Ukelele! You are so awesome! THANK YOU!!!!!
Did anyone else get a ukulele for Christmas lol 😂
yup! LOL
is there a reason suddenly everyone wants ukeleles lol
thought it might be because of americas got talent winner but yes twenty one pilots might be the reason
I DID!!! And now I don't know what to do with my life °-°
you can get one on amazon you can get a clip type you attatch or one you put near it and it picks the sound up
You are absolutely an amazing soul. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world 💗
I get mine tomorrow and I can’t WAIT!! I really wish it was taught as a first instrument in grade school. It offers so much!
maybe one day ill be tyler joseph
Quentin Kaalekahi WTF ARE YOU HE’S AMAZING
Who’s Tyler Joseph?
@@daddygamer5552 singer in twenty one pilots
Im going for Billie ellish
This is wonderful. I just unboxed my first ukulele last night. Thank you for Ukulele Underground.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN U SNAP A STRING
Plus there's nothing like a fresh set of strings!!!!
Maybe a little lemon oil on the fretboard
You use extra strings and fix it
This is awesome - getting one for my daughter so she's confident before studying it at school when she's 6.
im here because of Grace Wanderwaal
*Vanderwaal and same
SAMEEEE
The Queen Jess SAME I WANT TO LEARN SOOO BAD LIKE HER
Same
same!
Just got a ukulele to practice with my son! We are both beginners. Looking forward to it, when I find the time? We will though. Thanks for my first lesson.
i literallly just ordered a ukelele 2 seconds ago i-
thank you so much this helped me learn very fast. when i first stared getting lessons from my teacher she taught me so slow so i stopped taking lessons and started watching videos on youtube on how to play but they all were really slow aswell so thank thank you thank you very very much
I just got a ukulele today
+rawesome cat So, how is the Ukulele playing going.
+HK S it's going fantastic.
So 4 years ago you got a Ike you must be a pro do you like it
Thank you!! I just literally took my Ukulele out of the box, so your instructions were exactly what I needed! Thank you!!
I'm very scared to to tune it, I scared I might break it
Angelgirl Productions tune it you wont break it
Andres fidelio ok
Don't be. Just tune it to the correct notes, GCEA. It won't break. The only way it would snap is if the Uke is really old or the strings aren't strung correctly. A new, out of the box modern Uke will be fine. It won't hold the tune in the beginning, so tune it before you play. Have fun!
Me af
Can you play the 21 pilots song house of gold it's with a ukulele
Victor Jara i am thinking the same :) xD
ugh **twenty one
man its twenty one do you not know how to spell?!
actually the band name is called
twenty øne piløts
Guys chill, they're probably new and don't know. Next time be sure to use 'twenty one' and not '21'
awesome tutorial, your a great teacher. Helps the image is so clear too so we can see where the fingers are. Thank you
@Jake Rabbets Guitar and Ukulele players have long nails on their right hand for strumming purposes, especially classical players. Sorry, your comment was so aggressive that I just have to add: DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you you showed me how to play a ukelele thanks ur the number one ukelele vid that I watched
I'll be back here in 4 months (geting a ukulele for my birthday)
Can't wait to be Tyler Joseph
I'm so dun With you I learn because of Tyler
Sandy Drawz be back here in 3months getting on e for christmas
I wish I found this video when I was a beginner. Such a great in depth video for beginners.
My fingers just keep getting caught. Like uke...why you do this.
After 3 years i wanna know how you doing?
@@lindseygei5014 almost 4 now I'd like to know as well
one of the easiest video's i've watched picked up more in five mins than i've done in an hour in the past! :D cheers dude
When I strum my finger up and down it get stuck in between the strings does this happen to anybody else? Any tips?
_essie_505 don't strum too "harsh" just lightly brush your finger over the strings maybe that solves the problem 😊😅
Thatssomarina hmmm.... Thanks I'll definetly keep that in mind next time I play 🙂
Thank you!!! Helped me learn enough to help start my friend on some uke in an actual 5 mins.
He's got better nails than me! O.O
I am getting a ukulele so I think this is a great learning experience for me
brb getting ukulele
Loved it, especially because although the time limit was short, it wasn't rushed
For a minute, I thought he was tuning it super fast. I was really confused😂
Omg sameee tho
Thank you
I wish you could teach me in person because you sound like a nice and upbeat fun teacher who wont make me feel bad if i dont get the hang of it right away like the last person who tried teaching me guitar. I need a helpful teacher who is kind and patient.
is it hard to play ukulele? because I'm thinking about buying one...
It definitely takes effort I learned in about three hours. It's actually pretty easy because the ukulele only has four strings unlike a guitar. I was told to do five minutes a day and I would learn I'm a week but I just did it in three hours :) hope this helped
evelyn ¿? ¿? ¿? That helped me! That's so good, well done! I think I could do it too then 😊
Yes trust me you just need to put some time and effort and there you go. Hope you do well. 💖
not hard at all, well easier than a guitar. I learned within a week of getting it!
Very easy to get the basics down, but like every instruments it can be harder for some intermediate stuff, and very hard to master.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I have wanted a ukulele for a long time, and now that I have one I was terrified to try and play. This made me feel so much better and like I might can do this! Great job!
Anyone Else from from the clique wanting to be like smol bean??
yes...i want to be tyler so bad rn lmao
Gabbeh hehe I knew there were more here!!! The clique is literally everywhere! it's awesome
Gabbeh me but I struggle.... I aM StrrugLING
Gabbeh meh
Gabbeh YES!!
Yaaas! I strummed my banjo uke with you and it sounded awesome!
That is a tenor size ukulele?
I'm getting a ukulele this Friday for my birthday and I'm excited to learn
i have only now realised that i cannot move two fingers at different times while doing something else with my other hand
Good thing you don't play piano then
Coffoo i tried, it didn't work out for me
Just got an ukulele for an early Christmas present! I can finally show my inner Tyler Joseph!
I tried this and my ukulele cannot at all hit any of the notes for tuning! It's either too high or too low!!!!! Can anyone help me? Also don't tell me to get another ukelele because I can't afford one
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out easy ukulele songs for beginners free try Basarto Ukulele Blueprint (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my colleague got great results with it.
Best video available, especially the ideas how to play the ukulele for beginners. Another resource I also found helpful for anxiety about how do you play the ukulele was Panlarko amazing uke planner - it should be on Google if you need it
What size uke is this?
wow, thank you , I just started with the ukulele and in this video, I have learned so much, much appreciated
uhhhkulahle :33 ahaahah lul couldn't help but laugh.
Thanks for this simple and practical video 👍
Hey, is it possible to strum with a pick?
Yeah it is but normal guitar picks (made of plastic) will break the strings and ruin the sound but you can order felt ones online really cheap which keep the same sound and won't break the strings, hope that helped
You can but it makes a clacking nose
Good teaching thank you
Can you please tell me what tuner that is, thank you
Thanks for the tutorial. We love it!
Am I the only on practicing at 9:58 pm with a small Mimi guitar? 😂
Mahalo nui! I'm ready to rock n roll with my grandson. C, F & G7 are the exect chords I need for Old McDonald had a farm.
wow suddenly im dodie clark
but like tbh the other people commented how it was easy for them but i've been practicing for nearly a year and still sucks. huh. the coolest thing i can do is dodie's nashville song
nice vid i just got my ukulele for christmas and now i know 3 chords! I just started learning today...Great channel
DEAR LORD RESOLVE THE G7 😱
I already play ukulele but I’m not good at teaching my friends so this was very useful, thank you!
uhukelaylee
Blobtoon o o k e u l e l e
I play guitar and when you said we're learning the C cord I felt some dread remembering how hard that was to learn on guitar (now it's second nature) but then I saw it was just one string and thought "wait that's it? That's so easy" now I can't wait to get a ukulele
*im gonna become tyler joseph soon*
Angelica Fernando literally just saw u on a different ukulele vid.. hi fren ||-//
I've played ukulele for 4 years now.. but I still watched the entire thing..
where do you get a tuner, and do you need one to tune it?
You can find tuners at music stores. Unless you have perfect pitch, I would recommend getting a tuner. If you can't afford one (the ones at my music store cost around $20), you can get an app! You can get free ones on the app store. The ones that are not free cost around $4. : ) I hope this helps.
Sae Ah but how exactly does a tuner or an app tune your ukulele? Im still slightly confused
For example, put your tuner close to your ukulele and pluck a string. let's say you plucked the 'C' string. The tuner will tell you if the note is sharp, flat, or in tune. then you can adjust the peg for the C string until it matches up with the actual pitch. So in the video, you can see the guy turning his pegs until the tuner says his note is right in the middle. Does this make sense?
Sae Ohhh yes that makes sense now! Thank you! I'll probably try to buy an actual tuner instead of an app, to put my best foot forward. Thanks for the help!
you're welcome. :-)
