Banjo Ukulele Christmas! Bluegrass Jingle Bells for Ukulele

Learn to play the classic Christmas song Jingle Bells in a bluegrass style on your ukulele. This is a fairly easy song to learn on the ukulele - just four chords. I teach a basic version, an intermediate version and an advanced version all in the one lesson.
I use a banjo ukulele (banjolele) to teach this lesson but you can use a regular ukulele in the same way with no adjustments necessary!

Perfect timing! I’ve got good internet for the next few days and I need a simple fun Christmas tune to practice while I’m cruising in December. Thanks!

This is great! I am going to do my best to master this with the paint brush strum. Thanks so much for your wonderful teaching technique and for continually motivating us, Kelly!

Kelly, I cannot sing a song for sixpence. Love listening to you. Any chance of Dream Lover on the Uke if you have not already done it!

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Therese - thanks! I'll put that one on the song list!

I have learned a lot from you and incorporated some of your strums in a song that is I am working on. Anyway, I have a request, “I can help” by Billy Swan works very well on banjolele. I figured out an arrangement in line with what you do that’s better than the ukulele versions that I have found but I’m still pretty terrible at playing and I know that you could do it justice.

Hi Gabrielle! Glad you're enjoying the videos and thanks for the song suggestion - I'll definitely put it on the list! Kelly
