    I’m 65 and I was in love with John Denver in college!!!! So this is the perfect first song for me to start my Ukelele adventure! Thanks for the good lesson.PS I just got my first Uke last week during quarantine boredom. Never played one before, just piano. You make it easy!

      Am 68, ditto above! Great tutorial!! I was following along playing air uke and doing the chords with you. Just retired (RN), now a little arthritis both hands, so the more movement, the better. My uke should be delivered today! Guess I'll start with how to tune up.❣Patay

    KEVIN!! Give us some more of the classic country songs!! Some of us (especially us gals) often play the tenor ukulele with a low G tuning because it's easier on our small hands and arms (I'm 5ft) but it seems like no one does the classic country songs, or if they do, they're not all that good... I'd sure give a lot to have a tutorial from you on how to play "Fishin' in the Dark" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band for starters. Pretty pleeeeeaassse!!?

    Dang, that was fun Kevin, with your instruction I'm learning to play the Uke. It's only been about 18 months since I've started. I really like playing along with you, it really helps that I can rewind and do it over and over and over....It's nice to play and forget about the pandemic for awhile. Be safe and enjoy the little one!
