aloha uke friends! have fun with this one! download a free chord chart at bit.ly/2LZQLO9, and you can find the full chucking tutorial at bit.ly/howtochuck. thanks for watching!! and give a thumbs up for Brian on the U-bass!! xo cynthia.
I thank you for sharing your gift with everyone. 58 years old and learning to play my first instrument and you are the BEST teacher for me!!! Blessings
Me too, 59 years old (1st instrument) and it's a struggle but I keep at it. It's taught me a deep appreciation of musicians and performers of any kind. Cynthia is one of the best teachers around.
Thank you for posting that, Lori, Maria and Ina! I am 34 and learning to play feeling ashamed like it is too late to learn. But it’s a pleasure to play now.
The first day, I learned the new chords (Eb, D7) and the strumming pattern Gm (dX) Eb(u). The second day, I learned Eb(uduX) D7 (U -uXu- uXu). 3 days later, I'm humming Havana Thanks 😘You are my best ukulele teacher
Thk u for making this video. I have been watching Ariel’s tutorial for this song but I couldn’t catch up. Your tutorial is so easy to follow. Good Job! U re a great teacher!
Hello every one and hello to Cynthia, my new coach :) I have started uku 2 weeks ago ! I have really started the very first day with a method bought at the shop. From day 2 to now, I am playing because of your tutos. I have played many of beginners you offer ! Thank you a million Cynthia ! I am improving so quickly because of you ! I really like and enjoy your videos ! Nico from France ;-)
My 6 year grandson loves this song and has a good vocal. I was surprise that he was singing the Havana. Now that play and teach havana. I will definitely learn to play and probably enjoying playing and singing with him. Thanks a lot, Cynthia.
Cynthia, I love your cover on this! Two things I would wish for: 1) your playing & singing this song as a separate MP3 so I could listen to it a lot as I go about chores - I don’t see it on an album of yours yet; and 2) having the words to HAVANA on the screen as you start putting the words to the chords and strum; I’ve been saying “Down-chuck - up down up-chuck etc” so much through all my practicing that I’m having trouble fitting the words into my playing it! I’m pretty-much a beginner but I can play it ok but not with the words. Thank you! I really love this song!
As someone who lives in Hawaii for seven years and as a new ukulele player with an acoustical/electric, I think your teaching methods are focused and perfect in their approach for both beginner and intermediate players. Keep up the great work Cynthia🌴🌈🍊🍍🍌
Soooo very excited about this session! Was JUST trying to work out this one for our little 5 yr old granddaughter (she loves it so much!) and was so sad that you’d not done it yet. You are amazing! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🎶🌺
Thank you, thank you, Cynthia! I suggested bar chord tips and more advanced strumming patterns, so I feel like this tutorial was speaking directly to me! ❤️ I paid close attention and have been practicing every spare second. Had some breakthroughs and that feels amazing!! Thank you for this!! Love your beautiful, smooth rendition. Oh, also, my kids are in love with this song so thank you for making me seem so cool in their eyes! 😎
Cynthia, you are such a good teacher. I've been a science teacher for 30 years and I cannot believe how you just broke this song down and made it possible for me to play (I've been plating for 3 weeks). When I saw the beginning, I thought, no way. You are amazing.
Thank you so much Cynthia. After my recent trip to Hawaii, I determined to learn how to play ukulele. I have zero experience in playing musical instruments. Your tutorials help me a lot. I almost gave up at Day7 because I couldn’t play island strum after watching many tutorials. With your detailed tutorial and practice, I’m able to play chucking with island strum at Day 18. Thank you so much.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. I am a patron also and find you to be an excellent teacher. I also really enjoy your voice when you sing, very relaxing. Keep it up and thank you for sharing your joyous spirit and helping others find joy through making music.
A really great tutorial. I´ve been playing the blues harp for more than 37 years . I started playing the Ululele one year ago. and for me it´s much fun, to lern to play a new instrument.
I really, really love your tutorials! Thank you so much! ❤️ Also, you have such a beautiful and lovely vibe coming through the youtubes that I'm feeling like 'everything will be ok', so pls keep on doing these videos :)
Hey Cynthia, you're such an amazing teacher I want to wish you "Happy Teachers Day" in advance (because I won't remember to do this when it actually comes).
Adoro seus tutoriais. Sou iniciante no ukulele e seus tutoriais me incentivam muito a continuar. Lindo esse seu ukulele, um dia quero poder comprar um igualzinho!😍
I love love love this strum pattern! It took some practice for me to get the timing right. When I started singing along it took even more practice. I still have not perfected it but it is so fun! Thank you so much!
Thank you again for this fantastic lesson. You made it so easy to learn to play this fun song. It's the first song I've learned on the ukulele. Now if I could only learn to sing. lol
I always wanted to play this, but was too intimidated until your tutorial. Thanks to you, I already have it mostly down. Thank you so much. You are an incredibly talented teacher.
Thank you for this 3 chord song. Sounds awesome played this way, peaceful and mellow; can hear gentle ocean waves in your singing. You have a very beautiful voice. Thanks for the tutorial and a big Congratulations on your signature Ukulele 🙌🙏Happy day to you both. 👍U-Brian 😎
So happy you make these videos. I did join in on Patreon, it is wonderful. For D7 itnis easier for me to form a D chord and use my pinky on the A string.
Loving the U-Bass. I have a friend who plays the U-Bass in our uke group. He will be excited to learn of Brian Liu as my friend is beginner/ intermediate level.
Cynthia, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial and for the chord chart. I love this song and I'm very new to this so it's a little above my "pay grade" but I'm breaking it down and going slowly as you have taught us. I'll get there and hope to be coordinated enough to play and sing at the same time (also watched your tutorial on that!). Hope to see you and Ukulenny at the SF UkeFestival on July 27.
Aloha Cynthia, thank you so much for this tut. You are a great teacher. As some people mentioned here, the Ariel's tutorial is hard to keep up, she is amazing dont get me wrong but... Thanks again :)
aloha uke friends! have fun with this one! download a free chord chart at bit.ly/2LZQLO9, and you can find the full chucking tutorial at bit.ly/howtochuck. thanks for watching!! and give a thumbs up for Brian on the U-bass!!

Me too! 67 and just learning for the last few months. I'm loving this and Cynthia's tutorials are fantastic. I couldn't do it without her.
Thank you for posting that, Lori, Maria and Ina! I am 34 and learning to play feeling ashamed like it is too late to learn. But it’s a pleasure to play now.
This is one of the most fun songs I've learned so far. Who knew upchucking could be so satisfying? Cynthia Lin, you're my fave.
The first day, I learned the new chords (Eb, D7) and the strumming pattern Gm (dX) Eb(u).
The second day, I learned Eb(uduX) D7 (U -uXu- uXu).
3 days later, I'm humming Havana
Thanks 😘You are my best ukulele teacher
Love it Cynthia. Pls DO NOT let those people who disliked this. Don't let them put you down. You are an awesome teacher. thank you
Thk u for making this video. I have been watching Ariel’s tutorial for this song but I couldn’t catch up. Your tutorial is so easy to follow. Good Job! U re a great teacher!
Thank you, Cynthia, for stepping this so slowly and in small steps, from the beginning to the end. Its not easy!
02:40 cords; 03:49 single strum practice; The strum [DX - UDUX] U- UXU - UXU 05:48 Gm DX Eb UDUX; 06:21 cords separetly; 09:00 adding the D7 U; 10:50 all together; 00:00 play along

It's true..she is the best teacher
My 6 year grandson loves this song and has a good vocal. I was surprise that he was singing the Havana. Now that play and teach havana. I will definitely learn to play and probably enjoying playing and singing with him. Thanks a lot, Cynthia.
No wonder I love this song, its just 3 of my favorite chords over and over! 😊I love the chuck strum, great beat!
