💗 Thank you for being here!! 💗
Omg you saved my life! Thank you so much! I needed this to sing it to my father and i did it perfectly!
Thank you. Tomorrow is my dad's 91st birthday, I'm going to play it for him 😀
Love this so much! Happy birthday to him! Enjoy 😊
Thank you! Needed this for my grandma's birthday in a few days :)
Love it!! You're very welcome. ✌
OMG! I've looked everywhere for a Happy Birthday rendition that wasn't boring but that I could actually play. Thanks for this. Now I just have to get over my stage fright. I play fine alone but then I try to record myself and have 10 takes before one is without major errors. LOL!
Love it!! You can do it! Go slow and try breaking it down into smaller sections, rather than running the whole song. Once you pause or stumble, THAT is the part that you run 8x in a row, and then put it back into a larger section. You got this!! 🙌
LoL wow that's awesome you are the best ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
hey, thank you so much Catherine tomorrow is my grandma’s birthday and I wanted to play to her on Christmas
That is awesome - how special! How did it go?
at the same time, I was also drinking jucie. Cheers!

Love it. Thanks for sharing with me!
I know the happy birthday to you
So awesome!
It's so hard to do a g chord😭 I have been trying to learn it for days!
I feel you!! The G chord is definitely the toughest "beginner" ukulele chord. Try landing the two fingers (peace sign fingers) first, and then the ring finger will fall into place. I also recommend the "tap method" to practice to get comfortable with your G chord shape. I'll post a video below!

I don't understand the strumming pattern. It's too fast.
Hey Tina - are you talking about strumming option number 3? I'll try to break it down a bit more for you here! So you play each chord for 3 beats. That can either be 1) ↓ One downstroke on beat 1, and hold it for 3 beats; 2) ↓↓↓ Three downstrokes on all 3 beats, or 3 down strums per chord; 3) OR ↓ ↓↑↓↑ (D DUDU), downstroke on beat 1, down + up on beat 2, down + up on beat 3. Play this pattern once per chord. Hope this helps!
