As a beginner I can say that once again, you crushed the teaching technique! Love ya!
YAYYYYYY!!!! 😊Thank you so much for letting me know and thank you for the comment!
Bernadette Teaches Music :D
Bi-eautifulGirl 😘
I agree!!

G chord was the one that frustrated me most when I started learning how to play an ukulele. Actually it made me search on youtube and find your channel :D Now after a month I can switch between basic chords and I am amazed by the transition *_* Your videos helped me a lot so I’m very grateful to you!
Btw, the way you excercised reminded me of the app - Yousician - I was using very often when I first started learning. Do you know about it? I find it very helpful espceially for a pure beginner.
I thought Yousician has only guitar things?
@@emmawade6958 no its most instruments
A MONTH?? i cant handle that 😭
I love how clear this is!
For me I found improvising using Am, F, C, and G helped. It helps me because I relax when I improvise.
Thank you, Ronnie! 😘I am glad this is clear. This hurdle can be quite frustrating for beginners, so I wanted to spend as much time with instructions as possible.
Ronnie Ball very helpful thanks
I don't even know why I bother searching on google for things like "practice switching to G". Bernadette has EVERYTHING!
Haha! Best advice at 1:03! You have no idea how many times I’ve said those exact words ...and there’s no nice way to say it. And for beginners it’s just 3 fingers! They can grow the other 7 nails as long as they want. Thank Miss B! Your the best!
There really is no nice way of putting it, is there?
I was CRACKING UP when you said, "They can grow the other 7 nails..." AHAHA!!!
👍Very good video. Something that helps me switching from C to G is to play C with my ring finger while keeping my middle finger on the 2nd fret of the A string. Then it's only a matter of moving the other two fingers for G.☮💗🎸
thankyou! it’s much easier to go from c to g now. ☺️
Midway through (video 15) your 30 day ukulele challenge. This video helped me overcome stumbling from F to G. I’m immensely grateful to you for your help as well as your deep and sincere dedication to the beginner. Am learning on the very same uke model (Enya EUT-70) you play in this video strung with a D’Addario low G. You are undoubtedly the best uke instructor on RUclips.
I'll be watching you exclusively to learn Ukulele once mine come in. I've learned so much already. Adult student here, age 32 from Virginia, USA.
I’ve been watching your videos for the few months and the transition to G chord has definitely been tricky…then I watched *this* video…BUNNY EARS!!! Ugh that really helped my brain and it just clicked! So now I’m Ora too with the metronome…next hurdle is G chord to G7 chord!!!!! Thank you!!!
You are sooooo good at breaking things down. First time tried to play uke quit. Now I'm teaching myself with multiple teachers on you tube. You are at the top of my list. Learning a fingerpicking technique for Auld Lang Syne. Couldn't make the switch from C to G. Went to you tube. Found this video. So great. My new method of learning is to try to really know something before moving on. So for the next couple of days I'll work on switching from C to G based I what I learned in this video. Because that can become boring, each day I also work on learning a strumming technique and to reward myself I try to learn a blues lesson - because I really love that. Thank you for all your great videos. They are integral to my learning. I'll be 74 in March.
this is definitely my barrier. It makes my hand cramp!
wow This is actually very helpful for a self learn beginner. Thank you very much for sharing this video. I enjoy many of your tutorials, and your lovely smile. :)))
Ms B! Thank you so much for emphasizing the Need of incorporating a metronome into daily practice! As a former drummer, (and I know you played drums too), currently my primary instrument is the bass guitar, it's so important for everyone learning to play an instrument to know that Time is more than just a magazine. (Insert Rim Shot here). Your students will be so much better as a musician for having learned a Very important concept, actually Vital to making Good music. You are indeed a Brilliant teacher, my thanks for all you do and the thorough instruction you give.
Wow! That's wrist twist thingy from the F to the G help me soooo much! I felt like I had hit a brick wall until I found this video, really feels like I am making progress now, thank you so much.
I am a complete begginer, bought a flight nut 310 3 weeks àgo. This lesson is the first time I feel like I am making some sort of progress, thank you.
As a beginner, I am trying to learn riptide, and the F to G is really helping me find that out. If I use my index finger for Am, I can add middle finger, move index down a string, and then add the ring finger. Idk if you should use index for Am but it works for. Os
Hi Bernadette. I am an orchestra director for middle and high school orchestras. My senior class bought me a concert ukulele as their parting gift and I decided to incorporate ukulele lessons as part of my general music class. Your videos have been very inspiring and I really appreciate all that you do.
Ismail Farid hi Ismail! 👋🏼 nice to meet you! That is such a thoughtful gift from your students! I love that!
You and I did the same thing! Instead of having a music appreciation class, I got a class set of ukes. Unfortunately there weren’t any RUclips videos I could use in the classroom at the time, that’s what inspired me to make this channel.
I have pdf resources for classes like yours, so email me if you need anything. It’s always a pleasure meeting other music teachers :)
Bernadette Teaches Music thank you for the offer. I can use all the resources I can get. Where can I find your email address? Thanks.
bernadettemusica@gmail.com :)
Thank you Bernadette! This is the shape I struggle with the most! I did the exercises with my Baritone now I will practice with my soprano. I've only had my baritone for 6 days and my soprano for 3 weeks and I've learned so much from you!! I played violin in middle school....over 40 years ago and had forgotten how much I LOVE making music...my goal is to master singing as I play.
I've been spending over 2 weeks trying to switch from F to G chord and failing terribly. But this video appeared in my recommended as a godsend and is extremely helpful. Thanks Bernadette for being my first and best ukulele teacher!
Thank you so much! I have been playing for 2 months and I learned so much watching your videos!
Your videos are always very helpful Mrs. B, am a beginner and this your videos always help me a lot.❤
Alondra, your comments are always very helpful 😘thank you for always leaving a comment! Thank you for being a part of this community
Amazing tutorial, perfect as always. I'm now a little further but it is still quite relevant to me as I was thinking about getting a real metronome to learn to be more regular, because I always get too excited and change rythm at some point when playing. Now I've got a proof it is indeed FUNDAMENTAL!
I just received my first uke today, and switching by far has been the most annoying thing to deal with while practicing so far haha!! Especially this switch, but you helped me so much. Thank you!! ❤️❤️
This appeared in my recommended and it was a lifesaver, you're a great teacher. Thank you!
I really love your videos, and your way of teaching is amazing!
keep doing what you do and as you do it.
😭😭😭Diana that is so so so sweet! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this lesson. Going to & from G is a challenge for me right now. I appreciate the time you take to explain everything. For some reason, it clicks for me and I can feel like I am getting it.
Best teacher out there by far
Great video! It really helps. Love you so much. You are the best ukulele teacher in the world!!!💜💜💜
Enjoy these chord progression sessions. Can hear songs, unwritten in them🙆 When you said pause the video to practice the chord progression; right at that moment a quick add popped up. Don't know if it was you or YT but perfect timing. That works for you and us. If you have control where adds appear its a win-win. All about the FUNdamentals. Thanks for the 5 bpm tip. I was all over the place with the metronome. These videos are so great as I have so many songs still to learn. And this homework compliments the songs I'm working on. 🙌 My fingers are waving bye for now, Ms.B👋
ARC 110 hey hey!!! 👋🏼 I do have control where ads go on videos that are longer than 10 minutes. This is the first time the idea clicked in my head! 🤓 I will continue doing this. We can use the commercial break for the practice!
Glad you liked this chord practice video :)
Thanks for this video. Have been finding the change difficult from C to G and struggling to improve. The Metronome is a really good aid! Brilliant teacher!
As a beginner I can get frustrated not knowing where to start or how to even go about it. This was super helpful and clear! Thank you
Great video. I’m teaching myself and you provided valuable tools and tips I can use to practice. Thanks so much.
Smart to demo with the metronome, Bernadette! Music is like comedy; to be really good at it, a person has to master the timing.
And super-smart to advise people to always think ahead.
I use ukulele to teach creative writing (because it’s easy to sing while strumming an ukulele and writing song lyrics forces people to think of writing as what it is-not recorded thought, but recorded sound). So, as a first step, it’s necessary to teach most of my students some fundamentals of playing ukulele.
Today, I showed a lady how to play G7-Em7-G (a chord progression that shows up in early Beatles songs such as “Love Me Do”) by first playing G7 conventionally, then lifting the index finger to play Em7, and then setting down the pinky to finish with G.
It is an exercise that offers an instant reward: three chords! Woo-hoo! It is also an exercise that involves all four fingers. Plus it plants the idea that, sometimes, you can use an unconventional fingering to quickly switch to a commonly used chord.
And it’s fun!
Hi Tom! It's always really nice to hear from other teachers because I pick up new learning techniques and strategies. I LOVE what you are doing with your creative writing students! They are lucky to be learning from an artist and poet like yourself!
If you're using a metronome with your students and you'd like something more engaging than a metronome, try this ruclips.net/video/8NP2NuSsWbs/видео.html this is what I use with my students when the metronome feels too dull.
I like your G7-Em-G exercise!!! That's also good for stretching the hand and using the pinky! I might have to borrow that ;)
And you are right. Music and comedy are all about the timing. I guess this is why I always like comedians who have a good beat to their voice :)
Bernadette Teaches Music: a drum machine in my iPhone! I love it! Thank you!
Tom Morrisey 😉😉 come back to the comments section more often. I like your ideas!
Thank you, so much details so much fun so much joy I can’t even.
Ms. B you are beyond helpful! As beginner I always feel blah.. But your video are awesome! So grateful! You inspired us.. We love you!!
Thank you so much - it’s my first day playing and you already have helped me SO MUCH!
Now on you will be my teacher thankyou teacher.
This is SUUUUPER helpful. One thing I struggle with learning on my own is a lot of videos/ books etc. Go from "this is how you play C chord" go on now let's play this song with three chords and never cover tips for building the skills. THIS really covers the skill drills necessary. When I learned piano, cello, and sax as a kid / tween so much of the early stuff was scales and skill drills. So far, I haven't found as much for uke. I know... only 4 strings so simple, but not really! Lol. Currently also trying to get the hand strength to not have "fly away fingerss" to properly make some of the chords, I need to use the free fingers as leverage (or so it seems). Thank you for this!
Omg!!! This was so helpful ~ the pívot and finger position cues were very useful. Quarantine uke practice here we go. Thanks!
Thank you for the exercise, I also came to a nice progression from this... [D, C, Am, G] with [dn,--,dn,up,dn,--] 🙂
Good Morning Ms. B.
Such a detailed explanation for changing one chord. This is why your channel is the best.
Instead of saying "this is how it is done", you actually did the entire exercise yourself :)
Kevin hey Kevs! 👋🏼 how are you? How’s work?
Bernadette Teaches Music I'm doing great. How was your trip 😊
im a beginner and this is so so so helpful!! thank you for this you're amazing!
You have no idea how much this is useful for me thank you ❤️ it was really slowing my process
Finally able to watch. Got a notification 7hours ago 😬 I really appreciate how you explain things in detail 👏👏
Abby Vdl hi Abby!!! 🎶thank you for being here :) thank you for everything!!!
My pleasure Ms.B! Im happy i joined your community before you become a youtube sensation 😄
Thank you Bernadette. Great teacher.
I’m so happy as a beginner I found this tutorial, will be practicing like this … thanks
Thank you so much I try a whole day to do properly the G and the problem was not my nails or how I curve my fingers but the position of my hand and now I can do it so easy, it took me like 30 seconds lmao I was so stress yesterday 😂

This helped me so much! Thank you 😊
Very helpful tutorial, thanks a lot!
This tip saved my life
10:22 thank you so much for the excellent tip. for too long ive been struggling with my fat fingers. i have.
Good stuff. Do you recommend that warmups include these transitions?
When you transition between chords it appears that the fingers on your left hand all leave the neck. Is the neck of your ukulele resting between your left thumb and index finger, or are you clamping your ukulele in position with your right forearm?
I find this to be the hardest part of chord transitions; moving my fingers without feeling like the neck of my ukulele will drop.
I wish there was a response to this because I am having a difficult time with this! I thought we were supposed to have our thumbs on the back of the neck but then nothing is "clamping" the ukelele in place if I am also strumming with the index finger and not holding the waist. Forearm clamping isn't working to keep it in place. I have to rely on a strap to be able to transition. Did you find a solution, since this comment is 2 years old and I just started today? haha
@@SusanWang126 As far as I can tell some chord transitions don’t happen in one movement. For example, if I was transitioning from C to F my 3rd finger would remain on the A string’s 3rd fret while my 1st finger moves to the E string’s 1st fret. Then my 3rd finger comes off, my hand pivots, and my 2nd finger moves to the G string’s 2nd fret. This way the neck is always clamped between thumb and a finger. Of course, I don’t if this is the correct way to do it!
@@sud_monkey Wow that just made my transition from C to F much less scary haha! Didn’t feel like I had to land on the strings in perfect position, could take my time to walk it over. Thanks!
Justo lo que necesitaba, gracias. ❤️
machi 199 muchas gracias a ti 😘😘😘
Love it ..with this beet it great 👍lm starting so slow is great
Hi Ms Bernadette! I'm getting a ukulele really soon, so I've been binge watching ur videos and they help a lot! Thank youu (btw ur really pretty lol)
Also question: when I first get my uke can I use an app to tuner since I don't have a clip on?
This is such a brilliant technique. I’m
Only on day 4 of teaching myself the ukulele and your videos have proved so invaluable in this. You are a brilliant teacher. Your students are so lucky to have such a teacher.
Thank you!! 💝
Really helpful, thank you!
as a beginner, this really helped me :))
Why didn’t anyone tell me that I was supposed to be doing chords with my fingerTIPS. You changed everything for me!
You are so sweet, Tiffany! ❤️
I got my first Uke a week ago for my birthday and I've been trying to learn a song but messed up everytime I went to G. This video is a blessing! And what great timing oh my! I never comment on posts but I felt the need to share this because I'm genuinely so relieved. And I also want to mention, I'm learning ukulele on my own and your channel has been so helpful so thank you!! I have a video suggestion- tips on learning the ukulele alone (without a teacher/aid). Thanks for everything Bernadette ❤
Thank you for this video it helped me a lot with switching
Thank you so much, Vee! 😊I really appreciate the feedback!
Beautifully represented
Hi Bernadette and thank you for all the lessons you share with us!!! I have a question about the G chord and the G7 chord. I really have a hard time with using the G chord but the G7 chord is easy to take for me. I know that they are different in music theory but if I go searching for songs, I regularly find the same songs where sometimes they use the G chord and sometimes the G7 chord. Can I use the G7 chord all the time instead of G chord?
As I said this Lesson 1 this was super helpful
Dear Bernadette.🌹 My man cheated on me so I decided to start a better life without him but with a new instrument the Ukulele. 🎶🎸I start today with you and want to say first : you are beautiful and second thank you so much for teaching me how to learn playing ukulele. Best wishes. 👍👍👍👍👍Tara
thank you!
Really helped! Thank you so muchh
I love you're videos you're my favourite ukulele teacher everr!!❤️
aww, thank you! 😊 You're so nice!
ahww np just the truthh❤️
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Must useful lesson to date!
Hello Bernadette, I'm a beginner and I love your teaching. Sometimes, it's difficult because I'm french. What is your nationality ? Thank your for all.
Ah! This is such a useful video for beginners. I used to get so fustrated when my ring finger hit the string too late, but it was a matter of time for me until I mastered the G chord. I love your detailed videos and I am so thankful to have found your channel! And you are almost at 40k! 😱 I can’t believe how fast your channel is growing! Could you also make a video for switching to the E chord?
Hey Van! How are you? I am also thankful you found this channel :)
Switching to G is the most popular chord request I get, so I knew I needed to create this resource for beginners. It's usually for people in their first month of uke.
I can most definitely make a video about switching to E. Which chord are you switching from?
Bernadette Teaches Music The last few weeks have been a bit stressful, but I am doing fine now. How are you? I believe you had a great time travelling! I have to switch from Am and from F#m to E. I came across this problem while learning “Someone Like You”, but I also struggle with it if I play other songs that have the E chord in it.
What model of ukulele are you using in this excellent video.Thanks.John
Thanks that was really helpful
Thanks!
Thanks for sending me the link!
my pleasure, Charlotte! Keep me updated on your progress ❤️❤️
This was very helpful
i really enoyed and learned a lot maam thank you
Thank you so much ❤
