Effective, easy to follow, and overall excellence! And...a beautiful voice to calm my stumbling fingers. Thank you, Lara!

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you found this lesson to be helpful and easy to follow :)

[@malachibraydon5360]

a trick: you can watch series on instaflixxer. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@leontucker876]

@Malachi Braydon definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@johnjoseph9797]

Thank you so much for being here to show us, how it's done. I wish all this was here in 1969. People had to pay to learn how to play the instruments. I followed 3 The Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver and right now you are added to my list of teachers. Again, Thank you, Lara !

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

You're most welcome John! I'm glad you found this helpful 😊

[@johnjoseph9797]

@@LaraMarkowitzMusic I love the forth pattern. Lara, I need to ask if you made a video on how to play like Iz? the song called somewhere over the rainbow?

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

@@johnjoseph9797 I don't have a tutorial on the Iz version but I do have a fingerstyle arrangement if you're interested :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqbTq6GgaK2mfZo

[@Penny62Lee]

How do you tune the ukulele for the low G? I have a tuner but don’t know how to get the same tune as yours.

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

Hi Penny, if you have high G tuning then you'll need to swap out the G string for a low G. It isn't possible to tune a high G string to a low G frequency. It's fairly easy to change the string and there are tutorials on YT if you haven't changed strings before. Just make sure you buy a low G string for your size uke 😊

[@paoladacosta]

Thank you! You use a Low-G?

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

Yes, low G in this lesson 😊

[@andreasohn2738]

sometimes I ask myself if one has to be a grammar school teacher, a technical engineer or a theatre actor with a very clear pronounciation to do what you do. And how you do it.

[@LaraMarkowitzMusic]

Hi Andrea, I do put a lot of thought and effort into how to clearly present my lesson materials so I very much appreciate your feedback!
