I am baffled at how easy you made this. I no longer want to burn my ukulele. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
I still want to smash it into the wall.... And pamper my poor tortured fingers after multiple attempts.
If I knew how to replace strings I would file down the nut a little...
LOL ME TOO
@@67angiesame. Now i just wanna cry
I was genuinely crying when I clicked this video and I’m leave pretty damn confident so thank you!😊😊
Yes!!!!!! I’m so happy that this helped you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I always had trouble with this. This makes it so much easier for me! Thank you!!!😀
Yeah!!! I’m so happy this helped!!!
:D
Me: I’m never going to be able to get this cord
Not even 2 minutes in
“MAke sure you hold your ukelele correctly”
“Well that solved it”
Omg thank you. I have an assignment for my ukulele class where we needed to do F, Bb, F, C7. And, I was struggling with the Bb. But, your tips helped me so much. Now, I won't fail the assignment.
You got this!
Congratulations with your baby ma'am and thank you for teaching me everything
Thank you so much for the well wishes. I hope you’re doing well today.
The add-more-pressure-just-until-they-are-not-muted part was especially useful to me. Until now it was like luck, I mean, some days I can play Bb clear and other days I can’t, but now I know what I should pay attention to. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped!
Just a minute into the video and the chord is already easier
Yes!!!!!!!!! So happy and excited that this helped you!!!!! Thanks for watching 😀.
Only 2.5 months learning. You've been my main source of information on how to play. This was exactly what I've been trying to do now. Thanks Katie.
I’m so happy that this helped you ❤️❤️❤️❤️. This was so wonderful to receive right now.
Thank you for all your advices. I started ukulele two weeks ago and I always fought thatlearning an instrument wasn't for me. But now my fingers are living their best life with the chords and now the strumming :D i'm so glad. I want to continue again and a gain !
Bisous from Paris xx
PS : congrats ;)
That’s amazing! “My fingers are living their best life...” made my day. I hope you’re doing well and that you’re safe ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank u so much I was actually learning a song for my sister who lives 500 miles away I was disappointed with myself since I couldn't do Bb I thought of giving up you r amazing keep up ur amazing work! :)))
Glad I could help! You got this!
Very helpful tips! You made it so easy to learn. Thanks!
Omg this made it so much easier all of the other tutorials failed THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE A BLESSING FROM THE UKULELE *GODS*
Another great tutorial Katie!! Some time ago I switched All my ukuleles over to Aquila Reds. For me they were much easier on the fingers and I love their tone. God bless you and keep you safe.
AWESOME !!! Thank You so much for all that you do to help all of us !!!
You truly are appreciated !!!
And I truly appreciate you ❤️❤️❤️❤️😀. Thank you for your support and kindness.
Thanks for the tools and the alternatives. Welcome back!
Thanks!! So happy that this helped 😀. I have lots of videos that I edited ahead of time in the hopper, and I tried to make them build off of one another. Let’s see how it goes 😀.
That was SO helpful! Thans Katie.
This was so helpful! Holding it correctly with the finger placement you showed, made all the difference! Thank you!
Glad it helped! :)
Love it! I've been looking for this for the long time 😭😍
Thank you for being so nice about it. It makes it a lot easier
I’m so happy that this helped you!
THANK YOU. I've been avoiding all songs with Bb, the violin finger bending really helps.
Saying the bottom strings needed to be on the side of my finger helped a lot! Muito Obrigado
Great lesson !
Thank you! Very clear and detailed info, very helpful.
Thank you! That was an easy way to learn how to play Bb chord. I am currently trying to learn new chords to get out from beginner level lol and it helped so much!
Thank you so much! Just doing step 1 did the job! Almost like magic!
I was literally just about to search for a ukulele tips vid! 💕
Sweet! So happy that this was something that you wanted to see. Thanks for being here.
Omg thank you so much!!! I tried this technique and it totally worked!! You are amazing🥰🥰
YEAH!!! So happy that this helped.
Thank you so so much, Katie!!! 😍😘 I Love all your videos, they help me a lot ♥️♥️♥️ Including all the ukulele tutorials that are hard. Love this video, and I also love you. Thank you so much for making this video, this helped me a lot. ❤️❤️❤️🐶 May God bless your heart ♥️❤️♥️❤️ Love ya always. ❤️❤️❤️💟💟💟💖💖🐶🐶♥️
I hope eventually you'll address Bbm and Bb7. This was a good lesson.
Hey Mia! I have two videos that cover those questions you and you have access to it via Patreon. It can be found in Barre Chord Boot Camp. It’s the moveable barre chord video and barre chord alternatives 😀. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@OneMusicSchool Yes, you're right and I'm a Patreon so I might have missed those. thanks Katie!
Really useful tips, thank you so much!
Thanks for being here. I appreciate it.
It worked!! Omg, thank you
Great explanation. Thank you so much. ❤
Oh that makes me so happy! I'm so glad it helped.
Thank you very much!! This help me alot
Omg I literally came to this video thinking that it wasn’t gonna help but it DID!! im so so happy :))
I literally just came for the alternatives
thank you Katie
very helpful, thank you!
The 45 degree advice is life-changing!! Thanks!
Wow! I’ve been trying to play a B flat and didn’t even come close…..I can come real close now! I’m practicing! Thank you so much!
I hope you are feeling well…I see you look almost full term! Wishing you well! 💕
Hi! So glad that this helped you 😀. We’re doing well. I was pregnant with my second child in this video and now she’s a year and half. I just had my third child, and it’s been fun. Keep playing and have a great day!
Wow. Thank you for this. Been struggling on this one for a long that I end up not trying it again coz it really hurts my wrist but woahh...thank youuu!
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day.
I've been struggling with this chord for like, seven years probably, but somehow only 1:30 into your video I am already helped???? THANK YOU!!!
Yes!!!!!! I’m thrilled this helped you!
🎶💓🎶 Thanks for the string tips too......the mute, slowly add pressure till the note appears was an eye opener. I was always just pressing down way to hard and forgetting to dance with the string on this micro level 🙏🙌
Glad it was helpful!
I hate this chord I really struggle with barring 2 or more strings - I'm left handed and would have thought it would be easier but no such luck. Thanks so much for the tips - I will keep on trying
This was really helpful! Holding the ukulele at more of an angle worked really nice for me, before it was always too hard to press the strings down. I might follow your advice on the fluorocarbon strings though as mine are very stiff and tough to press down.
Thank you 👍🏻I will keep working on Bb ☺
You got this!
❤️ ur channel so much! I always come to you when I cannot do something on my ukulele. Thank you for all these tips! 😊
#notification squad
Yeah!!! Notification squad!!!! Thank you ❤️.
Thank you very much on my first try it already work Thanks a lot again It really help because i was having trouble on B flat🥰
this is so helpful!!!! thanks
I’m so happy that this helped! Thanks for watching and have a great day.
Thanks for the help! This is still the hardest one for me but I will keep at it.
Don’t give up. I know you can do it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Katie I clicked the bell and subscribed you teach and sing very nicely
Thank you and welcome to the family!!!!!
Aww thank u so much Katie. First time I am getting reply from youtuber
Best video to help me not make my Bb sound extra flat. 🥰
I love the B, slide down to Bb followed by A in “Sitting by the dock of the bay”, you’re right, practice those tricky chords then master transitions and slides - how? PRACTICE!!!! 🥳
Nice!!!! What an amazing example of utilizing that shape. Thank you for that. I learn so much from you guys. Thanks for being here.
Exactly, practice makes perfect! Recently I have been singing and playing this song!
Ooooh and A# slide up to third fret C* in “Better Together “ (Jack Johnson). Everyday there’s something new!!!
From Italy: good job.
Thank you sooo much😭❤️
I absolutely love you.
You are so sweet!!!!! Sending love right back to you. I hope you’re safe wherever you are.
♥️💛💚 Mahalo Plenty this was helpful
Nice to listen and watch my friend. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. XXX Kjell
Hi!!! It’s good to hear from you again. Thanks for your support and I hope you’re safe where you are.
Thanks, Katie!
Do you have any advise on property holding the ukulele? I have both a soprano and concert size and they both feel like they could jump out of my arms at any given moment if I’m not wearing a strap (which is uncomfortable and hurts my neck). Thanks! 💙
Thank you!
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My first finger is short on the 1st joint and my middle finger on the C string is wide (so muffles the A string) and if I roll it to its tip on the C, the tip of it my first finger can’t hold down the A/E bar as tightly, so then they mute. But if my middle finger is on the tip, I can reach the third fret on the G okay. So it’s a teeter totter on those first two fingers. Then my thumb is almost behind the a/e and I push my elbow out but strains my wrist. I don’t have a callus on my first finger and it won’t roll over like you show. Maybe this chord takes a long time to be strong enough in my hand and wrist with short fingers. I don’t know. But thanks for the step by step.
Thanks Katie I've always had problems with that cord depending on which ukulele I use sometimes I bar the first fret.
Yes, someone also said the same thing about barring the first fret entirely, and I think that’s a great way to practice movable barre chord shapes 😀. I’m glad that this helped. What ukuleles do you have?
Hi i hope your baby is healthy
Great video!! That Bb chord is making me crazy!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🙈🙈
I have to go much higher than a 45° . My left wrist was shattered years ago ( long story), but that's just me. You and yours are in my prayers. Please, stay safe.
Thank you. I feel the prayers, and I’m so grateful. We haven’t left the house and we’re not going anywhere. So sorry about the wrist, but I’m glad that you can still play. I have a couple of friends that have lost fingers and tips of fingers that have had to adjust their playing styles to be bale to play again.
@@OneMusicSchool Django Reinhardt had two fingers on his left hand nearly burned off and were essentially useless and he still played beautifully. His music brings tears to my eyes. If the music is in your heart it'll find a way.
Very true ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Wow, you look amazing! Thank you so much for the helpful tips! I need help on being able to strum faster! Any ideas? ❤️
You’re so sweet! This video was prefilmed, so I still have the baby in the belly. You should see me now feeding gather baby round the clock. All aboard the hot mess express! 😂. As for strumming, where are you strumming? Over the sound hole? Base of the neck? Is there a song that you’ve been working on that’s been giving you the most trouble?
One Music School, you could NEVER look a hot mess)lol! On songs like ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’. I strum just a little above the sound hole.
Hi Katie. :)
I bought fluorocarbons for my tenor because the same type of strings are on my Enya Nova and they are easier to play.
I have been practising AED chord transition patterns, E chords have been my nemesis. I prefer to play E without barring, by using the 1/2/4 frets on three strings.
Brian May has been doing a lot of little isolation guitar videos lately, much to everyone’s happiness.
My tenor has a through body bridge... not sure your video covered that type (?)
Take care and stay healthy :):)❤️
I know what you mean about the E chord. Whenever I teach my students the E chord in my large group classes, I hear a couple of expletives 😂. I did make a video about how to play E 5 different ways, so let me n ow if you’d like to to link it for you. I didn’t know Brian was making isolation videos!!!! Oh my gosh! I need to see those 😀. We’re doing well. We’re not going anywhere and we don’t plan to. I hope things are well with you.
One Music School
I’ll see if I can find that E chord video. :)
I find the way I am currently playing it is a good stretch for the fingers but not too bad, especially on a concert scale ukulele.
I play it on the second section ( chord change ) to Why Did It Have To Be Me... a fun ABBA song.
Yes, Check out Brian May’s RUclips channel ... he is as humble as he is talented. :)
Kind of like you, actually. :)
Brain is the man 👊🏼. Thanks for your kindness, and I hope the E chord video helps. I love ABBA, and I’d love to make a tutorial for “I have a dream” and dedicate it to my daughters 😀.
One Music School
Funny... I would like to do the same thing for my daughters, or have them sing it 😊It would simple to play ... three chords. I’ve tried it using A, Em, and D.
Was hoping to get my colleague’s grade 4/5 class playing their ukuleles while our school choir sings to the rest of the school. Would be a perfect song for these times.👍🏻❤️
Thanks
Oh my goodness! Thank you :). I'm so glad that this helped you.
@@OneMusicSchool 🥰
Thank you my
Thank you for this. I'm a new beginner (1 month of practising almost daily), and you mentioned the strings. I had heard about putting Low G strings on; wondering if you know that would be a good idea. I have a very low singing voice and maybe it would sound "deeper" and sound nice together? I have a Concert size. Much thanks for any advice.
Wow u r awesome
Hey @onemusicschool, I was thinking about getting a ukelele... do you have a specific brand or one that I could get that’s not too expensive but not too cheap. THANK YOU!!! 😊❤️
Such a great question. It truly is a buyers market, so you will have lots to choose from that won’t break the bank. I have a couple of videos that might help. One is a buyers guide for beginners and the other is how to upgrade. The upgrade video you might find interesting to find out why some ukes are more expensive than others. Not that you’d be looking for a uke that’s $500, but it might be insightful or find it interesting. Grab a snack. They’re a bit long 😂😂.

Upgrade: ruclips.net/video/LZkYKPgM6oc/видео.html

The buyers guides contain sound samples of over 30 ukes from a variety different brands that range from $80 and beyond. I hope it helps you find the tone that you prefer as well.
Thank you and still little hard to b chord .but I try to best to practice
You can do it!
You are showing that we don't have to keep the thumb on the back of the neck! And as for chords like D, I run out of room using the first 3 fingers, I can use the M, R,and pinky, or the M on on the 4th and 3rd and R on the 2nd, which would you suggest?
Thanks.
Ted.
When I play the 3rd and 4th string alone it sounds great. As soon as the third finger comes in, the bottom two strings sound mute again. I've put more/less pressure on and nothing solves it. Placement on the fret is good. Do you please have a suggestion for this?
More good tips! Thanks. That is F on a baritone. You really use the F chord in lots of songs so it is a MUST learn.....
Yes, absolutely. Some of my guitar students have a hard time with the F chord as well, and it’s always good to beak it down. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
@@OneMusicSchool Just a P.S. I signed up to be a Patreon of yours tonight!
Thank you!!! I really appreciate it ❤️.
I like the way she says ukulele LOL😂😂
Actually, that's how people usually pronounce ukelele. My music teacher himself pronounces it that way. He thought us about the history of the ukelele and how it was originally pronounced as which is how she pronounces ukelele.
Bb and E are two of my least favourite chords. I like the Bb variant that uses the "G" shape. If the Bb is coming after a G as I am already there. I just have to move it up to the 5th fret depending on the song.
Glad this helped and it was good to see you in the comments today 😀.
@@OneMusicSchool Thank you. Happy Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Passover. 😀
Is there a tutorial on how to play that awesome intro?
Thank you, I really needed this. You were very helpful. God bless you in Jesus name Amen 😊💚
Can you do a ukulele tutorial for Kacey Musgraves' Rainbow?
Tutorial for that Strummimg pls!!
I want to know about your blue ukulele . Where to get it?
Nice! The link is in the description box 😀. Let me know if you have any questions.
Gracias bonita eres una bendición guapísima temazo Saludos desde Marbella España Málaga me encanta tú vidios eres una bendición genial
Dont mind me, who never had a problem with Bb but is still watching this video
I use my thumb for the upper string, lol. Never seen that in any tutorial 😅 That's so wrong, but at least it works
Sometimes you just have to do what works 😀❤️.
Bendiciones guapísima me encanta tu vidio temazo amiga 3333 🤣👍🙂😍😘😘🙏😄😄😄😀😆🤔🤔😂👏👏😉🙂🙂😍😊😊😊😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😄😄😄😄😄😀😀😀😀😀
How do you play the key of F# B F# C# and Ebm
does it work for left hand users like me?
Can you do a video on key of F sharp
Hi! Thanks for watching. I think you may find this video helpful. I made a video about how to find some difficult chords on the ukulele fretboard, and I’ll link it below.
ruclips.net/video/9k1t4N3UuSc/видео.html
This really helped thanks
So happy that this helped 😀.
So I have fat fingers I will admit and my last string is always mutated for some reason and every time I try I press to hard and get blisters. My fringes where bleeding at one point, thank you for the alternative god bless
Bendición me encanta gracias guapísima eres súper linda temazo genial ukulele eres la mejor VOZ genial amiga temazo genial está muy guapa Dios te bendiga
Could you make a guitar “Fighting for me” by Riley clemmons tutorial for beginners?
I love teaching that song to my students. I just had a baby last week, so I don’t know when I’ll find time to film again. It may be a while, but I have been getting requests for it. Thanks for wand for leaving a request.
One Music School I am trying to teach myself how to play... and these videos are really helping me.. thanks for making Christian tutorials! Also, can you sometime, make a video on how to strum and sing at the same time? Thx so much
I have one already 😀

Hi I know some players (including myself) just barre the whole fret instead of just barring the 2 strings? Is it a bad habit?
Nope, not at all. That’s actually a great way to practice movable barre chords. A lot of my beginner students to are intimidated by barring, so I don’t introduce barring I’m the entire fret until I tech them the Bm chord. The closer you are to the nut, the more string tension there is 😀.
@@OneMusicSchool Oh ok thanks!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Her voice is relaxing this is great accidental ASMR
So glad that this helped :). Thanks for watching and have a great day.
If you.re used to playing barre chords on a guitar, Bb on a ukulele is no problem.
Bendiciones me encanta saludos desde Marbella Málaga España genial guapa 333 😚👏😉😉💙🤔🤔🤔👌💜👍👍🌹🌹♥️♥️💕💕😚😚👏👏😚💕💕💕😚👏😉😙😙😁😁
So we can mute the 4th string and still get the same sound?
Sí
I actually like playing Bb 😅 but you're right, I should bring the ukulele neck up a little bit, maybe that's also a good idea for my fingerstyle playing in general, thanks 🙈 I also liked seeing your Sun Star Ukulele again, haven't heard of them in a while 🤔🤔🥰 Hope you're doing well 😊
Hi!!!!!! It’s great to see you. I would say if it’s not bothering you, don’t worry about bringing the uke neck up. Everyone is different, and not every tip is going to be for everyone 😀. I think your fingerstyle arrangements are beautiful, by the way ❤️.
First. How are you and Marie . I hope both well❤ Congrulations again
We’re doing well! Thanks. We’re staying inside and we’re safe. Thanks for asking ❤️. I hope you’re safe wherever you are.
@@OneMusicSchool Thank you.I am good. I'm at home. I 'm studying biology. What did your daughter do when first see Marie? I'm very wonder. Because that reaction is so cute and funny.
She was so excited! She’s so happy to be a big sister.
@@OneMusicSchool Aww. That's so adorable☺😍
What do you do when the A string is buzzing whenever you strum a Bb chord?
Good question. Try to move your finger closer to the fret or move your thumb closer to the center of the neck to make more a clamp. I'll link a video about the "push pull motion" and "squeezing too hard" and see if that helps.
squeezing - ruclips.net/video/V_8dCFZzRYM/видео.html
better sounding chords - ruclips.net/video/AFrDM2RzlLg/видео.html
As soon as I barr the two strings with my index, the other fingers go flat down as well and muffle the strings below.
Thanks for your advices but here's my limit. Arthrosis doesn't help much either....
