How to sing and play ukulele at the same time
ukulele tricks and techniques
Hi, it's Harry Koizumi again,
Hawaii Aloha is a special song to the Hawaiian people. It is often sung as a ending to a gathering as people gather in a large circle while holding hands. "Hawaii Aloha" was almost the official Hawaii state song. It is a great one to learn.
My ukulele was built by Nathan Ching AKA "Guitarsmith" Check out his Facebook page.

Thanks so much for the gentle instruction. I am part Hawaiian (Palau family on my mother's side) and have been turning my ukulele playing in this direction, lately. Glad to see such an accessible song presented in an easy-to-follow lesson! Aloha from Los Angeles!

Howzit! Braddah Harry, I did pretty good! Playing right now, aloha!
This song is the only thing keeping me on ukulele i keep coming back to remember how to play i mainly play electric guitar but i make sure i dont forget playing this no matter how many months i dont play ukulele thanks for the tutorial man much love
Thanks yet again! I heard this for the first time this evening at a special Hawaiian concert in New Jersey. Thank you! I will definitely be working on this one!!!
Aloha Betsy! Tell the ukulele club I said hello and keep having fun studying! :)
Sure will! Thank you! Maholo!!!
Aloha Harry! I love this song and have not practiced much on picking. I love your tutorial and will start practicing. I just started playing baritone a few months ago... so since I am a beginner picker, my question is, do I need to change the picking to go with the baritone chords? Or I can practice with my soprano ukulele. Mahalo for your tutorials!
Aloha Harry, I've been enjoying all your "How to play" videos, I am new to playing the UKE, I was wondering how can I get more downloads of the word, chords and tabs to songs you posted to on RUclips, I've been able to download a few, do you have a website where I can get more?
Mahalo , Mo Bailado
Did you have a printable of your notes that I might be able to practice with?
Mahalo Harry! And, I have an 8 string! Perfect to finish our Hula group gatherings. We're all on the mainland now and miss this!
Mahalo nui loa, brah!
Hi Harry, Thoroughly enjoy your all of your RUclips instructions. You are sop generous to upload these for all of and appreciate. I always see and hear Hawaii Aloha at the end of Uncle George's and Uncle Led's Masters of Slack Key Guitar at Napili. Now I finally have words and chords. Mahalo my friend. Jim (Kimo) Roache

Hi Harry. My friend brought this back to Scotland from a Californian holiday. It's beautiful and I am now learning it. Just found your RUclips tutorial. Wonderful and can't wait to master this. Thank you so much. Alice
+Alice McDougall
Aloha Alice! Thank you for reaching out and making my day! Scotland looks beautiful behind you! Please keep in touch and have fun studying with my shows! 🙂🍻
Hey Harry,
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm not Hawaiian, I'm Samoan. I am learning how to play this song because it has the exact same rhythm and melody as a Samoan song.I'm kind of confused on when to strum while I'm picking. But anyways, good tutorial. 👏👏👏

Aloha Tana!
Thank you for reaching out and making my day!
Harry,
I pretty much have your version of Kawika down-thanks for your kokua. I'm working on Hawaii Aloha. It seems doable enough, but both songs have a transition that I struggle with- F to B minor and quickly back to F . I seldom nail it. Got any tips other than practice practice practice?
Aloha Peter!
No Worries! The struggle to move from F to B flat chords are very common!
Angle the neck of ukulele higher and keeping the thumb behind the neck will give you better leverage!
I usually make a exercise of my trouble spot and make a game out of it!
Play and practice with your eyes closed! Have FUN,FUN, FUN!!! :)
hi! I play by ear also I read music. For some reason or other, Hawaii Aloha sounds some what similar to Pu'u ana hulu. Oh I play Uke and Guitar and Mandolin. Maybe I am getting older. but they do sound similar.
+Hector Alvarado
Aloha Hector! Thank you for reaching out and watching my shows! I play a little mandolin also!
Such a neat sound! I'll add "Pu'u ana Hulu" to my long list! Where are you watching from?
Hi Harry, just found you on youtube. Also live in Kailua and visit Coconut Grove. Recently bought a guitar from them.

Aloha Chuck!
Thank you for reaching out and watching my shows! Maybe I'll see you soon!
Hello Harry. I am in NY city. Thank you. By the way where can one get a Uke with double strings like the one you. have.
+Hector Alvarado
Aloha Hector!
My 8-string ukulele was custom built by Nathan Ching. His business name is "Guitarsmith" in Kailua on the island of Oahu.
Hi Harry! I live in Kailua and I'm trying to teach myself to play. Do you do lessons here?
+Lauren Fraser
Aloha Lauren!
Yes, at Coconut Grove music in Kailua Monday through Saturday!
SO SO BEAUTIFUL
Hi harry
I just got back from Kauai and can’t stop singing Koke e . Could you do a teaching video.
It’s a beautiful song.
Aloha,
Alex
Aloha Alex!
I’ll add it to my long list!

Harry's Guitar
Aloha Harry. I am in Walnut Creek, CA. Just east of San Francisco. Retirement community called Rossmoor....9000 residents with almost 6000 units. There are over 200 clubs. Ukulele club has over 100 members and keeps growing. All of us appreciate your videos. They are simple, easy to follow and the result is a beautiful song. Please do Koke e in key of C. Thank you. Aloha.
You mentioned this song was sung after an event... Is an "outsider" allowed to join in and sing this song after the event, or is that frowned upon? 🤔
Francie Hubert as someone who lived in Hawaii for 18 years, it doesn’t matter. Anyone can join in and sing along. I remember in grade school when we had May Day, we would always end with Hawaii Aloha! And this was an outside event, so anyone could watch, and when Hawaii Aloha came on, we would see to tourist joining in. Some would know and some would just go along. So yes you’re allowed to join in.
@@Bryan-qb9zw Thanks Bryan for the response. We're learning this song in my Hawaiian Dance class and I'm incorporating it into my uke lessons. It is truly beautiful. Mahalo🌺
Aloha❤ you've helped me so much with this video. I love your strumming at the end. Mahalo nui loa 🙏
Beautiful tradition and a beautiful song.
