[@ZombieSkandy]

Thank you so much ❤ because of you this is my second song on the ukulele and I finally can sing to it. Need to practice but just wanted to thank you :)

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

@@ZombieSkandy You're most welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed this lesson 😊

[@angelataylor134]

Strumming and finger picking is all very well if you can sing. Without the melody it's a nonsense. I need a tab with single notes and chords for the melody as my voice sounds like a cat with its tail caught in the door! 🙄

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

@@angelataylor134 Here's my tab arrangement of Hallelujah. Hope you enjoy learning it: ruclips.net/video/NIXSR1bqYg8/видео.html

Nice Job Lara, like the rest of your videos so far I’ve watched . I can’t believe how many variations of the lyrics there are out there for this song, but that doesn’t matter much with your teaching of how to play it. Thank You.
