Hey guys, in this video, I want to share five things that you can do to improve your ukulele playing, have more fun practicing, explore new possibilities, and keep yourself motivated.
These tips are designed for beginners. However, I am sure that even if you have been playing for a while, some of these tips could apply to you so, keep watching the video.
We will be covering:
-Point 1. Learn the fretboard. The fretboard is a map that can help you explore new melodic and harmonic possibilities. Make sure you learn how to use it.
-Point 2. Own what you play. Analyze the chords and melodies that you play allows you to create new melodic and harmonic ideas quickly.
-Point 3. Improve your technique. Use mechanical exercises to improve your fingerstyle and fretting technique.
-Point 4. Practice scales with purpose. Once you learn the notes of a scale, spend time transforming these notes into a melody.
-Point 5. Diversify your practice routine. Stop always playing the same things and add new things into your playing.
Let me know which one is your favorite point.
Enjoy the lesson.

I'm a 72 year old man who just picked up the ukulele a month ago. I have never played an instrument before, but intend to learn this one. With channels such as yours, it gives me hope that i will be able to grow with the ukulele.
I disagree, you’re just a 22 old guy with 50 years of experience! 😆 Thank you for sharing, this is so inspiring! Keep up the good playing 🎵 🎸
That's great! I just turned 63 and waiting to receive my Ukulele that I ordered. Can't wait to get started.
That’s awesome!!! How’s it going so far?
@@tiannaparker3187 It looks a lot easier on RUclips! LOL.
Here's a few more channels: Ukulele Zen and a few channels with the late Michael Lynch.
I’m a 65 year old woman who has only been playing the ukulele for two months. I was already feeling like my practices were getting in a rut. I just said to my husband yesterday, “What about the rest of the frets on the neck.” Thank you so much for teaching me more about the notes on the fretboard and fresh new ways to practice. I’m so psyched to learn scales and fingerpicking! 😊
I've been in a rut for over two years because I don't know how to push myself without overwhelming myself or even begin to analyze the instrument as it is. this video was incredibly helpful and you've got a new fan!!!
I am glad this helped Sofia! Take it step by step!
I’ve been playing for 9 months. I try to pick one or two new songs to learn while polishing up the old ones. I’ve learned everything I can play from watching RUclips videos like yours which I appreciate very much. I need to start looking for tutorials for more drills. It’s not easy teaching yourself!
Yeah im in the same situation as you man
I agree. I am putting together a bunch of mini courses that will cover everything you have to know about playing and learning the Uke :)
I am also self learning from RUclips .
I started out with music theory .
This person is Gem .
Thank you for easy learning videos 🙂
@@MarcoCirilloUkulele how can I find those mini courses? Thanks in advance
It's like this video spoke direct to me. I have been playing 8 months and know a lot of chords, but I'm stuck in the rut of playing with "play alongs". They're good fun, but I don't know a single song that I could play without the screen to follow. Getting outside my comfort zone creates a good feeling when I master smooth transitions to new chords.
I woke up 4 years later playing the same thing. Thank you for saving me 6 more years of it. I like the finger exercises you showed.
This is the BEST ukulele video I've found so far. Incredibly useful advice!
Great information and insight. I've played the piano all my life and only started the ukulele, but the principal is the same. You have to know your instrument, listen critically and practice with intent. And love what you are doing. Thanks
Thank You for all these Learnings.
Very inspiring and on point. Thank you Marco for sharing your knowledge so widely. Every time you add a new video I learn something new.
I love your videos and I enjoy new content and appreciated for this wake up call. It’s definitely something to work into my practice session. Thank you 🙏
Just what I needed to keep me moving along. Thanks for the tips...
Marco. All your tips and exercises are excellent. They all tie really nicely into my general strategy of learning this, my first instrument. I'm not learning any songs except for one, but I am just working on understanding the fretboard, refining chord changes and finger picking / strumming techniques. I've explored about 100 different ways of playing the same song. I'm gradually adding more chords as I inadvertently pick them up. I'm getting much better and playing far more cleanly. Thank you for making such clear and useful videos that tie into my general sensibility so well..
Thank you for making this awesome ukulele tutorial! I have learned so much from your teaching and it really helped get me out of the same old chord routine songs!
I used to play both piano and clarinet but stopped when I went to college for nursing. But your tip on changing up the exercises or music you play really hit close to home, because I remember feeling comfortable playing the same songs over and over and not wanting to try anything new! I feel inspired now and want to pick music back up again!
Thank you so much Mr. Marco Cirillo! I'm glad I saw this video of yours!
This is the BEST advice I've EVER gotten concerning learning a fretboard!!! The ones I've seen for guitar are really complicated and fail to suggest breaking it down into just five frets to start. I thought I had to learn THE WHOLE STRING before moving on to the next one!!!
These are great tips, I will definitely try these out, thank you!
This is what I need to know.Thanks ！You are amazing!
Thank you for the excellent tips. Learning fretboard and applying it for different shapes of chord is my first priority. Looking forward to more learning tips from you.
Great advice Marco !! I'm taking your recommendations to heart !! ♥️
Just started playing the ukulele about a month ago and your videos have taught me a lot, so thank you :)
An excellent teacher! Everything you say has value. Thank you!
Knowing the fret/chord relationship is a great idea. thank you
Just what i needed, thank you so much !
Excellent encouragement to keep going!!
Totally love this video! Thank YOU!
You are so welcome!
Appreciate the ideas and inspiration, not to mention your sense of humor!
This is blowing my mind. Thank you so much !!
Great advice. Definitely at that point where I'm safely strumming basic cords I'm comfortable with. Felt stuck on how to move forward. Thanks for this tutorial!!!
Excellent advice Marco. I’ve used these practice techniques with the other instruments I play. And they work. I would like to be good at strumming,finger picking and different types of music. Thx again for good advice.
Brilliant... Thank you!
Great job Marco! I've been playing cocktail piano for years and just recently bought a uke. This video is exactly what I was looking for!!!
Thank you, it was very helpful.
Brilliant advice and very welcome. It’s difficult to know how to practice effectively when still a beginner. Grazie, Marco
I've been watching a lot of YT guitar and now ukulele tutorials and yours are by far the best when it comes to essential information like this that really leads somewhere and benefits the learner the most. Planning on joining your patreon soon, but for now am subscribed.
As a beginner of a year this is really useful advice. I'm going to enjoy learning the fretboard, practising scales etc rather than keep in my comfort zone. I want to get better at understanding music theory. Thank you.
Good luck Lisa. I am sure you can slowly achieve all these things 🎸☀️
Your videos have been such a huge help. Your tutorials help me get better since you don't always just teach songs that are the same 4 chords over and over with the same strum pattern. Those are great too but I like how you include melodies and different kinds of fingerpicking to push the difficulty up some. Plus you're a great teacher, thanks!
Your tips resonate with me a lot because I've realized that it's always good to keep things at a slightly challenging level, which doesn't stop me from enjoying the act of playing while improving my technique. Thank you very much...
Thanks a lot. I will keep this vidéo... to play along... a new step to go on. Lucky to ba able to undertstand english and share with you these advises! Greatful! 😊 from France! 💙🩶❤
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Love your channel, thx for sharing your knowledge
This is really helpful, thank you.
Yes, you are an Awesome teacher. Very well explained for anyone to learn how to play better. Your tips are very helpful, and encouraging to get out of your easy comfort zone. Always try to get better. I love your finger exercises, I can't wait to give them a try. Keep up the good work.
Another very useful tutorial. Thank you.
Great motivation! Thanks. I just need to get back to that again. Thanks for the boost 😁
I agree with you 100 percent 💯👍
I know now I am on the right track. Thanks so much.
Very helpful, thank you for the tips!
You are welcome :)
I’m very happy thanks Marco very simple instructions
Hey, Marco ! Thanks a lot for your encouraging way to teach this tiny lovely instrument ! I learn with you about a year and now I am at the point of >> learning the fretboard ...and you are right, it´s another level and challenging.
Every time I stuck with something or it gets boring ...I start your channel and going on with a smile !!
Anne
Marco, I just found your channel. I come from a wind instrument background (clarinet). Strings have always been a mystery and a challenge to me. I am just starting out with the ukulele in my late 60's, and wanting to play more classical technique. I love the sound of the instrument. You have given me hope that there are drills to learn this instrument. This video was fabulous. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Maria.
Ive found Elvis songs are a fun starting point for us 'seasoned' beginners.
I also come from a clarinet background and string instruments are daunting for me. I'm starting to teach myself tomorrow and do best when cramming a lot of info beforehand to apply during my first attempt. This channel and a couple others have been really motivating and helpful. I'm excited to have found someone with such a similar background. It adds a lot of confidence!
@@ThatGuy-cb3yv you're a genius! I've been looking for good music to learn and this is Perfect!
Thank you Marco fir inspiring me to explore my ukulele with confidence. I am 70, and l just started my ukulele. I wish you are my teacher. Please continue to put more videos. I thank you!
Listen=Faster Improvements
Learning others styles of music WILL do wonders for original songs. You will learn different chord progression combinations musical timing and a whole lot you never thought about.
This exposure is fertile ground for leveling up your music.
Big thanks from Phoenix for sharing such a sound advice and wonderful technique!
Thank you for these tips! It all makes sense, and you inspired me to explore new techniques and start to learn the fretboard(which has always intimidated me for some reason😀). No more!
Great advice thank you 👍🏆.
Thank You for sharing. Fell in love with this instrument. Exploring this instrument with your videos in focus. So, a big 'Thank You' for that.
Enjoy :)
Thank you so much. This video certainly resonated with me. I tend to get stuck in a rut. Then I break out and learn new things, then the rut gets comfortable, etc etc. You have given me a video that will get me expanding again, and again. My gratitude. Veronica
Yes, i would to learn more possibility, on your ukulele playing ,thanks for your video a good encourgement to me
Hi! I find ur videos really helpful for me! I love ukelele and I'm ready to learn new things💞🥰 thank you!❤️🙌🏻
Thank you you're a good teacher❤
Fantastic tips Marco, thank you very much. Everything you say here resonates so much with me, as I'm sure it does with a lot of people. 👍😊
I am glad to hear that ☀️🎸. Enjoy the video.
Grazie Marco, in questo video hai dato dei consigli semplici ed efficaci 👏👏👏
Thanks for your lessons brother ❤️
Great video! I've been playing for 6 months and I'm also stuck in boring town. This video has given me some direction as to where I can begin to improve further. Thanks Marco :)
I play guitar and various instruments from the mandolin family I picked up the Uke earlier this year. I love to improvise I am not good with theory as I play by ear. I tend to move around the fretboard and for some reason find that I know where the notes are I need, this is something that I find easier on the Ukulele than I do on the guitar, strange. Love the videos Marco keep em coming.
Thank you for the encouragement to push myself! I need more of this!
Thanks for watching Daniel. Good luck 🎸☀️
Coming from the piano, these tips feel pretty natural and although I just started the ukulele, I missed something like that until now. One of the first things I've done was looking up my notes on the fretboard and try to understand the instrument. At the same time seeing that people only play different chords made me feel over-ambitious and crazy. Thank you very much for telling me that I'm not and playing chords on the ukulele is not the end of the story. Also thank you for the great exercises!
I have been playing the Ukelele for 8 months, my first instrument, I love it. I am a very discipline person. I love the way you play. I am willing and love this tutorial. Thank you. I will take all the help you give. I play a lot of harder songs, have learned a lot of chords. Love this tips. Need more. All great. Not happy until I can play as well as you
Very helpful. Thanks
Great tips, thanks!
Great tips thanks
Thank you for the great tips
Hi Marco, ukulele is amazing! I bought a baby one for my granddaughter and was so inspired that I got a concert size for myself! I have worked on the left finger (spider) exercises and appreciate the instruction on staying close to the fret for the best tone.
Started playing “The Streets of Laredo” from a songbook and the mournful cowboy tune is beautiful on the uke. Thank you for your teaching and artistry!
Yep the real deal! I have discovered (if not put into practice) these excellent tips through experimentation. Thank you for the refresher.
Thanks a lot Bonny
Thank you.. strumming chords alone gwts boribg very fast.. im learning the fretboard..i appreciate all your videos because even if sometimes too fast at least its never boring..
Thanks Marco!
I love that uke with the cool cave drawings!
Diversity is the key…and practice, too. Thank you.
Thank you, good content and suggestions to a beginner like myself

Thank you for the tips, I have been playing chords only for 2 years...now it's time to improve my skills.
Thank you for this! I have been wanting to master the fret board but as you said it is like a forest jungle..but after watching this video I feel hopeful that I can do it now..thanks!
Third time's a charm. I just received my baritone ukulele so it's a new baby.
And I'm trying to learn to play the Rule of the Octave on both the baritone as well as the tenor.
Awesome, only started playing last September, i love playing melody chords , thank you for your tips, they are so helpful
