NEW: Turn on CC (Closed Captions) for chords and lyrics. Go to 3:33 to practice the song. Aloha, folks! Fun fact, this was my very first ukulele tutorial, and it's now 8 years old!! Thank you for following!
Cynthia, I am a highly skilled teacher and also have a music degree. I decided to learn Uke just for fun. I have looked at MANY RUclips instructors, and you are, by far, the best!! You break things down so well, you exude happiness, and you can sing so beautifully. Your instruction is well paced, with adequate repetition and never boring. You are truly excellent on all levels. I hope your subscribers and audience grows to the proportion you deserve! ;-)
What a service you've provided. First musical instrument at nearly 70 is the uke. What a great time and your tutorials are magnificent. Musicians, poets, artists. The Salt of the Earth. Thank you so much.
Cynthia, I'm a 35 year old Filipino-Chinese here in Philippines and I've always wanted to learn one instrument at least in this life... Thank you so much for teaching me this song. You made it so simple. Mabuhay ka :)
My wife won a Ukulele a while back and I'm happy to have found your you tube lessons I have never played a stringed instrument. Had several years of piano. The ukulele is easier to move. I ran through several you tube instructors. You are by far the best . Thank you. The pace is perfect and I will be following along for all the lessons and then some.
Hi Cynthia, I recently retired and decided to take up the ukelele. I love your ukelele videos because you obviously love what you do and this comes through. Your instruction is very clear and there is no hint of the salesmanship that is prevalent in many other videos on the internet. Thank you so much. Aloha, Clyde
I❤your instructions Cynthia. I am another 62 year old trying to learn a musical instrumental. You have made this a very wonderful experience for me . Thank you. Love the Ike, love you!❤
Cynthia. I see you have heard this from so many of the comments below but since those might have been years ago. I will reiterate that you are by far the very best instructor I have ever seen. The patience, confidence and organic delivery is so smooth and effortless. In less than an hour turned my Christmas present to my wife into her best ever present I have ever given her for the past 34 years. Thank You. THANK YOU for doing your series!!! I am a fan for life and will research how support you in the future.
I do not own a Ukulele as it is above my means. I cant play the guitar for my life. But I have delighted in watching your tutorials learning what I can till I can buy uke of my own. Thanks so much for letting me air strum along with you, you wonderful lady!!
I can't sing and never grew up playing any instrument. I spent time with your first lesson and am pleasantly surprised that I can listen to you and play. Due to an injury on my left arm I need to spend more time going from C to G but all in all I am having a great time! Thank you!
Thank you for all of the joy you brought to my life. I am going through a tough time and learning the Ukulele has brought happiness in my life. You are a gifted teacher. I think you have found your calling.
Cynthia, for years I've wanted to learn an instrument but didn't feel I'd be able to motivate myself to do so. Your videos have changed that for me. I have so much fun playing and learning with you. Thank. You.
You are the greatest, Cynthia. I once went up to you after you gave a group lesson at the Yu Ai Kai Center in San Jose, maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I also bought a signed ukulele. Hope we can meet again one day: I would gladly buy you lunch one day at a nice restaurant because of your positive influence on my ukulele playing and singing. Thank you! Greg Tanaka
I’m from Malaysia, and currently experiencing movement control order ( MCO) amid coronavirus pandemic. During this MCO, I decided to pick up ukulele and I found your channel. Thank you and I’ve learnt several chords. I have just subscribed your channel and hope I will be able to play smoothly. I’m having problem when changing chords and some chords just don’t sound well as I tend to touch on open strings.
Today is my fourth day of owning my beautiful uke and you have SO inspired me! I have played the first lesson over and over for days and hours, and today peeked at lesson 2. What a thrill to see the way you introduce the next two chords is with this song! G is still giving me fits but I am so inspired and having SO much fun with you. I feel grateful I found you right away, you are the perfect instructor for me! Thank you also for providing the lessons and chords in the printable form! With Gratitude, Pamela
im a complete noob to the uke. You really explain well and the dowloaded chords help immensely. Been going now for a full 5 days - sore fingers but loving it and your nice way of teaching. Love the flowers in your hair also!
You. Are. Awesome!!! I went through a few ukulele videos before I found yours, and yours are the most helpful and methodical. I learned my basics in piano through the Thompson's method, and violin through the Suzuki method. Now, I'm learning the ukulele through the Lin method!!! Thank you for your time and your talent. The universe appreciates you.
You rock,Cynthia! Born and raised in Hawaii but never learned to play....until now.Ithink with your help my dream may come true . Five minutes a day,good for the brain, good for the soul!
Thank you so much for your lessons!!! Two weeks playing ukelele and now I know this two songs. I've done all you said on your videos, practice de transitions between chords and this strum is the easiest thing in the world. So thank you very much!!!!I'm so happy playing my ukelele!!!!
oh my gosh, your tutorials are excellent! I literally just picked up a uke a couple days ago and I love how slow your pace is! for an absolute beginner, it's totally perfect pacing :D
I've been trying to learn a ukulele since I got one on a whim last year. Everything has seemed overwhelming since I have 0 experience with a string instrument. You're tutorials have been so easy to follow and have made starting at the very beginning actually fun. Thank you so much for bringing music back into my life!
My husband just gifted me with a uke. I was so excited to get it and at the same time a bit intimidated since I have no experience at all with playing music. However the happy sounds of the uke keep drawing me in. I quickly jumped on You Tube to see what I could find and I am so happy to have found you! Your teaching is so easy to follow, your free chord charts are wonderful and simple. You build confidence right away by helping students learn simple things and then building on those basics. In two weeks I have learned "3 Little Birds" and "I'm Yours" in my practice tonight I was finally back beat strumming and singing along with you. I'm so happy!! Had no idea I could learn so much so quickly. Thank you for sharing your talents and good teaching ability!!
Dear Cynthia, you are the only person in this planet who succeeded teaching me music!! Thank you, I know can play ukulele but not quite good yet, but like you said, I will keep practicing. So, I learn ukulele for my kids at pre K, I'm a teacher. Can you please please please teach us one or two kids song like ABC or bingo, etc? Thank uuuuu
Hello sweet girl. Greetings from Australia mate. 60 plus and I have just taken up playing the Uke for my part time job with residents in aged care . (All because I had a desire to play them the happy birthday song) and here I am. I found you. Thank you sooo much for providing notes and lesson for free. Lovin the journey with you. Thank you so much, for playing it snail-paced slow and faster. I am grinning like a Cheshire, just played it with you. Not too shabby after practising for a week.
Thank you Cynthia for being my virtual support system as I work my way to not only playing but singing along with my little baby guitar. I've had a guitar for years but have been too intimidated to pick it up. The uke is like a "baby guitar" and babies don't scare me! It's quite a transition from the woodwind I grew up with (saxophone), but the pace you move about is perfect for me as my fingers accommodate to the strings. I have your video on 1/2 the screen, and the chords on the other, then I listen to you with only 1 earbud in. It allows me the perfect opportunity to tune my voice with yours. Thank you for the gift of ukulele!
I am so appreciative of your professionally produced tutorials. You lovely manner and patience. I am over joyed as a beginner and starting to feel like I can do this, yes. I am very thankful to you from Eve down under Australia.
Wish me luck! I just bought my first ukulele today at Lahaina Music and I'm going to a free lesson at the Cannery Mall at 5:45.pm. I like your style and will be back for more lessons. Mahalo sista!
I am enjoying Cynthia Lin’s tutorials but would love to have the worlds with the chords shown in the videos instead of having to use my IPad and my phone or TV to have both listed. I’m still new to the uke world so I’m trying.
Cynthia, it was so fun to get my first ukulele over a year ago and find you on RUclips. As a non-musician I knew it would help me appreciate even more those who are. I admit, as with this song, sometimes I just enjoy putting you on to listen to. Love your vibe and the group jams you broadcasted from Hawaii, I will keep practicing… :)
At first, I thought it's too hard because I'm new in uke but I came back again to watch your vid again. It's easy now to learn and appreciate the chord pattern.
just bought an ukulele yesterday and started learning with your tutorials. Your the best. So patient and kind with that beautiful :D It's funny that you laughed exactly at the moment when I failed the D :'D
I almost got teary eyed by how quickly I was able to pick up this fun song thanks to you! I was smiling hugely the whole time, and while the notes weren't perfect I still felt confident the whole time. You're wonderful! Thank you for making such great and encouraging tutorials! I've been wanting to pick up the guitar since I was a little girl and now I'm learning the Uke thanks to your wonderful tutorials
I too have tried out many online instructors over the last month and have not learned half as much as I have from you in the past two days. I have a musical background (played flute and tuba) but I am new to string instruments. You have made it so easy for me to learn and I am so grateful for your teaching style and all of the fun beginner content you have out there. Thanks so much for all you do!!
Never really watched ukulele lesson before so I was kinda doing my own thing but now I feel like I need to learn everything again ! Thanks you for your work and I wish we were living in the same country to get classes with you ! Looking forward to see new video :)
Hi Cynthia, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I've been playing piano since I was 5 years old (Let's just say I've been playing now for quite some time. I've learned percussion (drums, xylophone) and now wanted to learn a FUN string instrument. I searched RUclips for "uke lessons" and YOU were BY FAR THE BEST THAT I FOUND!!! :-) Your approach is easy, you're very clear on the key elements that a beginner needs to consider. AND most importantly I'm having a LOT of FUN learning! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Cynthia! :D
Cynthia, I want you to know THIS tutorial was the very first song I was taught, and jump started my ukulele journey back in Oct. 2017. I knew nothing about the ukulele, and thanks to your video, this was my first song I learned. Thank you!
hi cynthia! I'm from the Philippines... I just got myself a ukulele few weeks ago while on official travel .. Now I'm learning from your easy tutorial lesson... Thanks! .. Will keep following you from now on.. ;) Aloha!
Thank you cynthia, im really learning from you, your way of teaching, breaking down how the fingers should fret, timing, beat, everything. Thank you for your patience, truly its your virtue!
thank you so much, Cynthia, I love the song I'm yours. I'm 9 years old and I play Uke for 2 years. I decided to learn Uke for learning but it was a lot of fun playing the Uke. I was the best in class. now I'm learning from the best teacher ever!!!
Yay! I wasnt getting anywhere with the uke but putting these lessons on and learning with you its finally sounding like music! These lessons and playalong times fills me with joy! U(ke) rock! :) Thanks xxx
Hi Cynthia, you are a great teacher! Thank you for the strumming rhythm for I'm Yours, it helped me a lot. Also, can you do a tutorial on the scatting portion? Please let me know! Thank you,
Found your video after buying my first ukulele and was able to follow along very easily. Your teaching methods make it me want to continue playing. Thank you for posting your videos...love it!!
Cynthia, I got my first ukelele yesterday and i was really uncertain but after watching your video, i managed to play the all 4 chords on a single strum i am having a bit of struggle G chord but I think I will get it with practice. Just wanted to say Mahalo, your tutorials are excellent.
SO FUN!!! Oh my goodness!! I just LOVE It!! Your voice is BEAUTIFUL!! My daughter just went to school in Hawaii for a semester and when we went to pick her up we all fell in love with the ukulele! Thank you for teaching us to play!!
Ahhh you're so amazing! Your tutorials are the only ones I'm watching. This is super great.. you teach everything so clearly and slowly, and perfect for beginners! Thank you so much! Don't know what I'd do without your tutorials!
Thank you so much, I started playing about a week ago subscribed to Fender, learned my basic cords and came straight here. And was able to play it right away !!!! Thank you so much ! I basically got a uke for this song
For those who are wondering about the chords, they are on the chord chart. The link is above the Comments where it says "Download the I'M YOURS chord chart" ... Thank-you, Cynthia!!
I just want to say you're awesome! I have always wanted to learn ukulele and my fiance surprised me and got me one for Christmas and I didn't know where to begin and after watching your videos I've been practicing 5 times a week so him and I can do a duet at our wedding with him on mandolin and me on ukulele. You should seriously be charging for these lessons!
Thanks so much I just got a ukulele 3 days ago and I didn't want to pay for lessons but this really helps . these are the songs I really wanted to learn too. I can't thank you enough
I love you Cynthia Lin! You make Ukulele fun and accessible, and imo you are hands down the best teacher on youtube. When I become a productive member of society with a steady income I will definitely be supporting you on patreon!

Cynthia, I am a highly skilled teacher and also have a music degree. I decided to learn Uke just for fun. I have looked at MANY RUclips instructors, and you are, by far, the best!!

I just want to say you're awesome! I have always wanted to learn ukulele and my fiance surprised me and got me one for Christmas and I didn't know where to begin and after watching your videos I've been practicing 5 times a week so him and I can do a duet at our wedding with him on mandolin and me on ukulele. You should seriously be charging for these lessons!
