Beautiful Ukulele Tutorial and Play Along Vincent or Starry Starry Night

[@pauldrohan9865]

I think you made a short art movie of your own here. I enjoyed all 17 minutes.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thank you so much!

“They did not listen, they’re not listening still, perhaps they never will” always gets me choked song has a soft spot for me.

Mental health issues are still very misunderstood and the treatments aren't wonderful. I only have one friend who leads a normal life with her medication.

[@erica261]

So lovely and the patience you have to teach us...incredible!! Thank you so much

[@TheUkuleleFool]

You are so welcome!

[@mad4ukeparis206]

Yes. Pancho and Lefty- another one of your hits. I get all choked up with the lyrics .

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thanks so much!!! Pancho and Lefty haunted the inner corners of my brain for months.

How in heavens name did I miss this video, I know I was traveling August 2021. this popped up in my feed - I’m going through the comments now and I agree Don McLean song is mesmerizing. Now I need to take a moment, sit down, go through the tutorial and learn this song ! This is another one of my favorite songs during formative years! my generation was very lucky to have songs like this, and Don McLean - just him, his voice, the inspired music and lyrics and the guitar !

[@TheUkuleleFool]

I was traveling in the Balkans before the war, and we would sing "American Pie" at various drinking establishments. He really had a gift for lyrics.

[@sunsioux444]

@@TheUkuleleFool molly and I were in high school and we used to sing it on car rides, going to the boys high school tournament basketball games. oh what a time!

I love being part of your Patreon Group, Lisa! 💕💕 This is currently my favorite tutorial.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

I need to share this with my University students this week.

[@gordonstull2149]

Thank you Lisa. I’m 68 and just getting started with this ukulele thing. Your videos have been so helpful to me. Thanks again.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Wonderful!! This one is pretty complicated if you are just starting out. I am so glad I can help you on your ukulele journey.

[@annkuehnel6915]

This has become my favorite play along this month.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Yeah!

[@mr.keebler7927]

Gotta love Don McLean! Absolutely a great tutorial here, Lisa.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thanks- I got obsessed with the lyrics.

[@lisarupert4393]

This one is a bit to chew on but I'm trying to push myself so I'll work on this. Your videos are always so clear and full of great information, I appreciate the time and effort you put into them!

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thanks Lisa!

[@friedeggman1]

Beautiful arrangement! I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos!

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lynngriffin7558]

I enjoyed this lovely tutorial! You did a beautiful job teaching and honoring Vincent. I was touched♥️

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thank you so much! And I really appreciate that you took the time to let me know.

[@mad4ukeparis206]

Oh Lisa, I keep saying about your tutorials- "This is my favorite, no, this is, no maybe this is..." My favorites never end with your wonderful lessons. This one is probably your best on all levels- the interpretation, simple, clear explanations, the fascinating history nerd bit, the slides and backgrounds- oh and we can't forget the appropriate floral top you are donning. I'm surprised you didn't hand paint yellow halos around the flowers in empathy for Vincent's malady. You went beyond putting your heart and soul into this one- I imagine some blood, sweat and tears went in as well. Were you seeing stars after? Geez! How many hours, weeks did you invest? It's a work of art in itself. Thanks so much. PS I saw the film -I agree - incredible!

[@TheUkuleleFool]

I am so glad you saw the movie. Thanks for all the detailed comments. Yes, I spend a lot of time making these videos. Kinda like Van Gogh - I'm obsessed.

[@Martin_Entertains]

This is a beautiful song, even when stumbling though the first play-along. I love the arpeggio and split island strum.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Perfect! I am so glad you could make it through the play along on a first go.

[@elainepalmer8268]

Beautiful lesson, Lisa. I am trying to play it exactly as you teach it because the suggestions just make it sound so lovely. The Vincent Van Gogh Immersive Experience was in Zurich just before last Christmas and some friends and I went. If you can get to see it, it is just fantastic. It went to London from Zurich, but I think it is also opening in New York (if it hasn’t already). The musical accompaniments to the pictures shown were just out of this world. I didn’t want to leave and could have sat there all day! Truly a wonderful experience. Now back to the practice.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

I am so jealous! I would love to have see that. I teach an art appreciation course at university.

[@annkuehnel4166]

I love playing along with this one and the history lesson was beautiful, Lisa!

[@annkuehnel9677]

This is one of my favorite songs that you've taught us, Lisa. I love being part of your Patreon group. I've learned so much.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@scottpetrie6179]

Absolutely beautiful Lisa, this song normally brings a lump to my throat, but your arrangement and rendition of it have moved me to tears - thank you for your wonderful videos and marvellous presenting style. Please keep up the splendid work, stay safe and keep strumming:)

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Wow, thank you!

[@debbieannen4802]

Lisa!! So good!! I don't see any going overboard on this.Your love for this song shines through. I love the lines "They did not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now."

[@Juliequeen771]

This is lovely as well as informative. Thank you SO much!

[@TheUkuleleFool]

You are most welcome.

[@annkuehnel6915]

I’ve been playing this song again for a couple of days. It’s one of my favorites from all of your tutorials.

Dhriti - This is great if you want to use it yourself, but don't post it in the comments. I do count on the support of patrons to pay the mortgage and keep my heat on. Part of what patrons get is my chord charts. When you do this, it feels like you don't think I should get paid for the work I do? Maybe I misinterpret this?
