AMAZING GRACE for the UKULELE - UKULELE LESSON / TUTORIAL by "UKULELE MIKE"

[@lesleyburton9999]

Sad to find that Mike has passed from us here on earth. We are so lucky that his teaching is still here for us. What a good teacher he was. Thank you Mike x

[@marlo5239]

Thank You for letting us know RIP Mike 😢😢😢

[@andrewreynolds2647]

RIP Mike you have taught many many people with your selfless teaching videos. God Bless.

[@nytrayfl2]

Oh no. I loved his videos and even got an Oscar Schmidt ou5 because of them. RIP, Mr. Schmidt.

[@ChristineB9046]

Such beautiful tutorial of this great song. Thank you to Mr. Lynch for his great musical talent and for his patience in teaching novices like me. I just found out a couple of days ago that Mr. Lynch had passed away in 2018. I was so sad to hear that, as I thought I had just found my uke teacher. I will, however, continue to follow the tutorials he had created. Such a wonderful teacher and thank you to his family for leaving his tutorials posted on KZbin. I'm grateful to you.

[@merrygirl111]

One of my favorite of Uncle Mike’s videos! It’s not only how he plays & teaches but his sweet, gentle voice singing “Amazing Grace”. Lovely. You are missed.

[@warrentanneriii3672]

Just like me ... every time I find the perfect person .... Thank you that he still speaks and teaches. I am blessed.

[@taroumaru6055]

Thank you, Sir! You will always be remembered! ❤️

[@bobclutton6523]

Hi Mike, I'm 73 and started the passion 2 years ago, I have to teach myself and keep getting stacks of advise from people who only want to show me how good they are. Since I found you, my lessons have become easier to understand THANK YOU. I have downloaded a lot of your vids and this really helps, I now understand and can fumble through 12 bar blues as you suggested I put words to it, referring to crocodiles in my favorite fishing spot, YOU really have made a difference to my Ukulele passion.I'm even making a new tenor ---- So thank you Mike,

[@bobclutton6523]

here's the words for 3 verse would love to hear what you could do with it. Fish’n at Mission 2, I'm sure people will change the 'rack' word -- i wrote that way. Sitt’n at a bar in Mission, Just sitt’n at a bar and wish’n There’s croc’s in the Hull --- --- no-one wants to cull We’re wish’n all those crocs would rack off Yeh I’m wish’n all those crocs would rack off Sitt’n in this bar in Mission, talk’n of go’n fish’n The Barra are a bite’n, the Jacks are a fight’n I’m sitt’n here pissed n’ wish’n! Wish’n all the crocs would rack off Crocs fish the inn tide Hide’n on the mud slide Looks like a tree trunk I’m get’n blind drunk N’ wish’n all the crocs would rack off wish’n all those crocs would rack off Yeh we’re wish’n all those crocs would rack off

[@catlady9189]

That is the most beautiful rendition of "Amazing Grace" that I have ever heard. I knew it was supposed to be upbeat and cheerful, not a funeral dirge. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to learn how to play it and show my family how wonderful Amazing Grace really is.

[@arthurleroiho]

In loving memory of Uncle Mike. We're so lucky to have him as our ukulele teacher !

[@ukesandfun3247]

The First Song I ever learned to play. Because of this video. Such a great song. Sir Mike, you may be Already Gone but your marvelous teachings remain immortal. So Long Sir. Thank you thank you very much.

[@-16_]

Many thanks Mike for all the amazing videos made to understand our ukulele ❤️🙏

[@julietp.3672]

Awesome song taught by him. He is now enjoying perfect life!! Thank God for mike

[@YYFsuperstar]

this is the best ukulele video teacher in youtube man !!!!!!!!!!

[@boonang4097]

After 2nd viewing of Mike's Uke teaching, i could not help not thanking Uncle Mike for sharing his Ukelele experience. Mike dosen't beat around the bush. He is very clear and shows how to also avoid difficult moves of chord finger placements. Great Ukele Teacher and Encourager. 👏👏👏

[@chingheelee3012]

[@karlahale1970]

Thank you Mike for this easy-to-follow tutorial! I've watched many tutoring videos and you made this all-time favorite hymn of mine a success to play!

[@diandenmark]

This is one of the best videos by one of the best ukulele pedagogs I have ever run into.

[@janethaines6821]

He is Amazing! He teaches slowly so someone older can easily understand. ❤️

[@viencafe]

Really don't understand people who down voted this. His tutor is detailed and easy to follow.

[@VTownGregory]

+viencafe Those people hate themselves so they take it out on excellent instructors. They are lost and are yet to be found.

[@Hisjewelever-Malachi]

Totally agree.. he is a good teacher.

[@Hisjewelever-Malachi]

They are lost but they don't hate themselves. The bible says we love ourselves. The lost hate the truth/light and love darkness Jesus said. That is the problem.

[@janetphua4909]

Changing cords

[@robertcress2109]

viencafe they don't appreciate the free things in life, Mike's an awesome teacher that is giving of his time.

[@thebrunts1939]

Thankyou so much Mike for this tutorial. You are so patiently slow for us beginners. I really liked what you said about training your finger memory so that eventually your fingers will automatically know where to go. Excellent point and very encouraging. 😀

[@Redheadedlady55]

~We all know your singing in heaven & we look forward to learn our ukulele & then show you when we get there. 🙏💞

[@GeorgeAlexa]

Tomorrow I'm going to a music store to purchase a ukulele and want to learn this song. The Ukulele he is playing has a beautiful fret. Probably very expensive. At the same time, the very first comment I read mentions his passing. Eternal Rest Grant Unto Mike, O Lord, let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all soul of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

[@ncmissouri]

Mike, I can't tell you enough how nice it was to finally play with someone and learn a strum pattern! I just started in August and I really appreciate you. From the many instructors on KZbin, you are the best. You explain it and talk to us. You are very encouraging and helpful. Wish I hadn't spent so much on other sites. I'd buy your stuff in an instant. Maybe the next pay day, next month, I'll have some spare dollars to invest.

[@Hisjewelever-Malachi]

I agree! He is such a good teacher. Easy to follow. And very patient.

[@eddiekilbourne421]

I just got my Ukelele and also think Mike is amazing over the rest.

[@lorrainerobertson7610]

Thank you Mike I love being able to learn from you you sure a a legend RIP

[@anarchyinthewoods7204]

I have never played any stringed instrument before, and I happened upon your videos after I got my Ukulele. I learned how to play this song fairly quickly, and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos to see what I can learn. Thanks for making these tutorials!

[@susany5530]

This teacher Ukulele Mike is the best he takes you through a lesson you can follow really well and inspires you more to practice....Thank you heaps. :))

[@christopherchausse7060]

Your lessons are wonderful. Thanks Mike.

[@karenpott7676]

Thank you Mike, i love your videos i have just bought my first ukulele and most videos i watched just couldnt get it. You have such a wonderful way of teaching calm, kind, explaining slowly i get it, yes i can play! Thank you x

[@michaelholmes2101]

Brilliant - such a good and natural teacher - I will buy one of your videos when I have a bit more money - if I aint dead before that from too much candle burning at both ends

[@yvonnedoherty7666]

Zhou are a wonderful teacher. Thankyou for your videos

[@clairegray222]

A newbie from China. LOVE your version of AMAZING GRACE. Thanks a lot.

[@reuchristensen6237]

[@diannahbruch3226]

This has been my favorite video so far. As a newbie, I have learned so much, and have learned the chords well enough to play for my own enjoyment. Now if I can just get the strum down pat!! Thank you so much for your time and efforts in helping others. A true Christian gentleman😅

[@mammaluzia]

hi mike, i'm a total beginner and i'm finding out your videos are the best to start practicing!! thank you so much!

[@michaelholmes2101]

Great singing again - lovely relaxing voice. Thanks

[@rolandomarucut7083]

Mike, this is my second video of your tutorial and I am hooked for life. You are an angel in disguise.

[@creamofwheat84]

I bought a ukulele 5 days ago and am now trying to learn this song. Thanks so much for your channel, Mike. You're a fantastic teacher and I am having so much fun learning from your videos.

[@trailhopper883]

Hmm. This says you wrote that 10 years ago. How are you doing now with playing in 2020 ?. I'd love to know ? Take care 🙂

[@methatlovescats3602]

I can say this at the beginning nothing makes sense but as you are learning everything is falling in place and learning becomes easier. so finally after 4 weeks with constantly playing and learning with few breaks I did write it down so playing it is easier. my problem was strumming but I'm getting it. Thank you for your patience in teaching.

[@UkeGirl100]

Love it, Mike. I work in a school, just got off two days ago. I've made a commitment to myself to read a couple of my favorite books for about an hour a day, to do some house cleaning (YUK!), to improve some of my relationships by being more honest and straightforward, and to watch two Ukulele Mike videos (and some of the other great ukulele tutorials on utube) every day!

[@cindyvillagechick514]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love of the ukulele. I'm learning fast as you are very easy to follow and always the right key for me.

[@pksb224]

Thanks Mike! I've never played a string instrument before my ukulele, and your tutorial really helped me. I love your tips on holding the Uke and learning the chords before the strumming. Thanks so much.

[@julieehlmann9198]

Thank you so much for this very easy tutorial for a beginner such as I am. This is my favorite hymn and love that this is the first song that I have learned to play.

[@karenroda]

I appreciated learning from you. So nice to put a song and the music together. Thank you.

[@lsmith931]

thanks Mike that was good Amazing Grace has always been a favourite. I particularly like your explanation on the timing

[@artravision]

The best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@BACUVT]

Amazing that I come across this video . I am starting to learn ukulee and this is one of songs to begin with .

[@Godhumbledme]

Wow thanks Mike got the song down didn't take long. thanks for this excellent tutorial. just got my uke today, and am excited. thanks again, God bless you.

Consistently great tutorials. Mahalo MIke

[@brendacamp1825]

I love your tutorials, it is very easy to follow. Thank you so much!

[@UkeGirl100]

Mike; I wrote that last comment without having listened to the whole lesson. Well, your detailed (and, may I say, extremely simple) strumming instruction is exactly what I needed -- like I mentioned to you, I'm kinda stuck in the thumb strumming you were doing at the beginning. The careful and slow instruction with the index finger is what I needed. Although I'm too advanced for the chord instruction, that's fine because the strumming instruction is GREAT!

[@roses123ize]

Such a great teacher, simple, feel sad he,s gone my first go to r i p Mike *

[@Hisjewelever-Malachi]

You are an excellent teacher.You make it so much easier for me and others to learn. Thank-you so much ! :)

[@Hisjewelever-Malachi]

Oh I love the fingerpicking also. Very beautiful. I want to learn that. And I once was lost but JESUS saved me. Amazing Grace is right ! Hallelujah Jesus !

[@lynandpetemay]

Thanks for such a simple tutorial. Just got my uke and this is a nice easy one to get started with.

[@han28solo]

This was a really well taught lesson! Learned great strumming technique and transitioning between chords... great progression!!! Thanks Mike!!

[@hanzee98]

I just watched a few different tutorials for this particular song, and I must say, your teaching style worked best for me.

[@alanhuntley]

Thank you Mike, really appreciate your tutorials 🇦🇺

[@victorsanchez7055]

Your lessons are amazingly great! THANK YOU, thank you!

[@christine9216]

Thank you for this beautiful tutorial. God bless you.

[@robertjohnson3099]

Thank you Mike. Your a great teacher.

[@jrsooksai1889]

Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your tutorial video. Though the first lesson i learnt was You are my sunshine but in Amazing grace i like how you encourage your students Happy strumming sir

[@ukulelemike]

Hi Ukulele Mike, this is, well, other Ukulelemike (but one word). I had to look up the other guy with the moniker. I haven't done any teaching videos, and I like yours. I'm going to be directing your videos to my nephew who just got his first uke. I would teach him but dont live near him. Thanks for what you do!

[@ongweepingamy]

Thank you so much. You have intricately teaches over this video and i manage to do a different strumming after so long. You rocks!

[@emmk8289]

Thank you for this video! You are an awesome teacher.

[@ivywen3481]

Very good teaching and it helps. Thank you very much!

[@SunshineLeclair]

thanks so much, just love your teaching style ;) I can't wait to get my first Uke, I'm getting it for Christmas ;) Yup, I know what I'm getting. This year I decided to give my husband a break fro his stress of trying to find something for me ... I told him I'd order what I'd really like and he can wrap it and put it under the tree. So that's what I did. I will be definitely be back to your channel when I'm ready ;) thanks again Donna

[@IGK-zt5pc]

Hello Mike, this is the best lesson. Thanks from Russia.

[@stokescroftmuseum]

wonderful teacher. thank you Mike

[@jaysonpalmonrivera7139]

I have started my own. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@4lesley2]

I LIKE you. I found you on some song and saw I was on lesson 300+...so I went to find lesson 1 because I am a beginner with a broken left arm. But, you break things down so nicely, completely and slowly for us beginners. I've watched a lot of others in the last few weeks, you are the best, Oh right, I remember, I found you looking for Ukulele Lady. I met this song via Arlo..but I really liked how you did it.

[@maryanderson8966]

Thank you Ukulele Mike! This has been so very helpful!

[@truonganhthu1986]

Thanks for your great teaching!

[@TheSryn1]

Wow... thank you so much! I cut my fingertip (Owwww) while doing house work and came upon this tutorial (for comfort and get my mind off the hurt). Sat down and watched and thank goodness! You're clear, nice, easy to follow and informative- I'll definitely be back when my fingers heal. Thanks, Ukll Mike.

[@linzhenxuan8719]

You are the Best Mr.Lynch

[@mtkane209]

You're amazing and full of grace!

[@violet46]

Wow that fingerpicking sounds gorgeous. I want to learn how to do that! Just need to build up some toughness in my fingertips!

[@GrammyGinger]

Wow! I learned so much from this lesson. I'm going to have to buy your cd.
