Same here!! James' famous video on here convinced me to "convert" from guitar to ukulele once and for all. Can't wait to be able to actually play the piece!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow is what got me into ukulele, but Billie Jean is the one that I see all the possibilities with the instrument.

A couple years ago, I had watched for the first time a video (by markwitz) titled, "James Hill, "Billie Jean" With His Imaginary Band," where you played this in front of an audience, and this spiked my interest for the ukulele. I have watched all of your videos and your tutorials have brought me to such a point that I can't put my uke down! Thank you for being such an inspiration to my life and all the other ukuleleists out there. As said by Jake Shimabukuro, "If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place!" Can't wait for part two!!

Thanks to everyone who tuned in for the live premiere of Part 1! I thought we could stick around and chat after the video but I guess it closes the chat once the video is finished? At any rate, we can do it all again tomorrow for Part 2. Things really heat up in Part 2 so buckle up and I'll see you there! Here's the link to join the premiere and chat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYLSoaeGpMyem6c

How can this happen..I'm shocked.Because I saw your video years ago but last year I bought a ukulele and before I was saying I can't play like this but suddenly I said at the beginning of February that "I wish it had a tutorial because I wanna learn so much" and than i saw today to this .Maybe I feel that you will do this tutorial.I don't know but this is a real miracle for me.Also the like button was 999 before I touched and I became 1000th.I also believe that the number 1 meaning about is created with thought.this is a big miracle for me.I hope you can find like that what are looking for in your life.Thank you 1000 times and I hope that you keep making these tutorials 😊💖🎼🎸🌈🍀🌞

Good point about playing the bass line only on the C string. I have a low G and was just planning on learning it that way, but I'll definitely learn this way too so that I can do it regardless of the G string.

At this point, I think we have all heard you do Billie Jean so many times that while we absolutely love it - literally every time... we are DYING for you to do something new. By new, I mean... I'd give the world to see you do "Devil Went Down To Georgia" by Charlie Daniels!! If anyone can do it all on one ukulele without accompanying instruments, it's you!! AND, you know we're going to want a tutorial too so just go ahead and do that as well. LOL! I'm paying for your online lessons right now and probably will be for a while since my hope and dream is to get the teacher certification as well so consider this my paid subscription request. LOL! No joke.

OK - So this song is going to take a lot of time to learn. I haven't even tried to play chords this far up the fret board before (a 3 1/2 years playing intermediate player). When I said I wanted to challenge myself - yep - it's a challenge. All I'm going to do till I've mastered it is those three chord changes in the riff. I can do this. Go away arthritis stiffness.

I was mystified when I first saw you play it. :) Second, if I might ask, what is the brand and model of Ukulele that you are playing with on this tutorial? Third, what advice you provide to someone that is going from a regular ukulele to an acoustic ukulele like the one you're using? Thank you for your time.
