Ms B ...you don't probably know how encouraging and kind you are!..you really are a packet of positive energy! A great teacher! Keep inspiring!

[@mmgranados2068]

I like the part where you said, "Wait, don't leave", coz I was about to leave. I was looking at other tutorials where they teach C and F etc so this is different but it turned out much better! I'm glad you told us not to leave! :)

Real good teacher

[@dimuabelkaSuper]

Thanks

[@chifilm]

So fun to learn the ukulele with your tutorials. Thank you so much!!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️

[@thomasalias8492]

I've outgrown your videos and it's kind of saddening. When I first picked up the uke, you were my favorite teacher and I learned how to play thanks to you! But your tutorials are now too easy for me, which is a good thing. Keep being an amazing teacher!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

sounds like it's time to hang out on the Ukulele Cheats channel ;) but do check back here occasionally. It will be nice to hear from you!

[@bluewaterjones]

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you

[@terrybrennan106]

I'm just starting and think your a great teacher, lve never played an instrument before, lve got fat fingers which are stiff through welding, grinding and fighting (ex Para) it's ajoy every time l try my hardest to do the stuff you teach us,..........started 02/01/2019 branspanker! couldn't go from a to c or even strum ,......it's coming though and l put it down to your good KZbin video's and also others on here so thanks Bernadette ,the others and KZbin!

[@brendamcdaniel6833]

I feel that Bernadette is an excellent teacher. She was the first online tutor that I found . The way she breaks things down into small bits is useful indeed. After a few repetitions , I can play a recognizable tune, which is very pleasing. I am going to start one of her 30 day courses this week. I have also joined as a Patreon , as I am keen on the Ukulele bible she is preparing. Keep it up, Ms B . You are great!

[@natfurtop]

I like your teaching style, your humor, and your positive reinforcement! Also I like that you give homework and clear goals, thank you

[@connorobrien4303]

Somehow know one else that does ukulele tutorials can do a tutorial that I understand, but you actually do! Great video as always!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Connor O'Brien thank you so much, Connor!!!! 💕

[@tiffanieelek8740]

I totally agree with you!

[@kathleengillespie5983]

Did I mention we're ready for the whole play along? 🌞😄🌞😄🌞

[@rockingdanteachingman]

Wonderful lesson Bernadette! It's a great song!

[@sm-65datlas23]

I really love how you teach! You go really slow and keep motivating your students, plus I love your voice! So relaxing and smooth. Thank you for this great video! This is my favorite song by the way.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you, Ryanne! It fills my heart to read your kind words. Thank you for being a part of this community. ❤️❤️

[@deeclfrans]

i love this girl, all of her videos make me learn so easy. the fact that she teaches it in detailed, she also has a very clear teaching strategies. :)

[@sherryb9770]

Thanks! I needed this song about now. 😊

[@danielphoto1]

Thank you, Bernadette! Love, Love, Love - your channel! My Granddaughter and I are following along with the basics. Your Awesome

[@gingerfish2000]

This is the best tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you. Excellent advice on how to get that tricky E and a simple (but effective chuck strum). Brilliant!

[@Laurynn125]

So cute how you can laugh at yourself. Thanks for making this a little more challenging in a different key than most beginner tutorials.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Ah, I didn't know it was in a different key than the other tutorials! Thank you for letting me know~! Just a few days ago I released an E chord video, so I thought it would be great to put your learning to the test with this song. Hope you are able to master it soon! :D

[@UkeleleJayPLP]

I'm thinking about learning to play the ukulele and saw your video here, for the first time. Really enjoyed it. You are a great teacher. Thank you.

[@vicsadventures675]

So glad I found you. My pace of improvement has increased 10 fold. I was having a difficult time tying strumming, transitions, and singing together. Other KZbin teachers could stand to learn from your method of breaking things down to simpleist form and then allowing us to add as our skillset improves.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Vic!!! Thank you so much for your comment. It makes my teacher heart happy to hear that your skills have improved!!! I'm an elementary music teacher by day, so I teach on KZbin the way I teach my kids in the classroom. It's nice to hear your feedback because it's encouraging to continue this method of teaching 💗 Keep updating me on your progress. It's great to hear!

[@Shirleytagalan]

hello ma'am Bernadette you're really my favorite music teacher from the very beginning of my ukulele trials thank you so much that you're here❤

[@arturbranco7300]

Man, you are so angelic! This Song is so powerful.

[@sandiesing8142]

Perfect song for everyone. With everything going in California and America, this song is perfect for all of us. Thank you Bernadette with slowing down for beginners and going through the strumming for the intermediates. I am sharing this with our uke group. Love your presentation.

[@sv-b2887]

I really love your so simple way to teach us thé easiest way to play uke and have fun with! Great and very Nice teacher !! Thanks. Best regards from France... happy to be able to understand english!!

[@arianaBrianna]

oh you are wonderful, you really understand the beginner. I just started it, but I now believe I can do this, you make the impossible possible, thank you so much Bernadette

[@ccmi2081]

Lol. You're funny Ms. Bernadette. Thanks for another great tutorial. I love how you Introduced us the E chord first then teach us how to use it in a song. And the slide action from A to E and back to D is gonna make it more fun to learn. Thanks again for being my inspiration.

[@louiswiley6121]

I am a new leftie just cruising around looking at your videos. I agree with the one person, "you are adorable" smiles.

[@michaelmichaelc1748]

Super lesson. Very patient step by step instructions. Just the right pace for me. Great job.

[@Surf427]

I can already play but you just make it fun. You have incredible patience as well as talent. Thank you two years later. Why am I late to this party??

[@jeannelaurencelle9799]

I'm so impressed with your teaching. I thought e cord was just impossible, but now I can do it.

[@ingridv.martinez7406]

I don't know how to thank you enough for taking time to make these instructional videos. I vowed to learn something new this year. I am so happy I found you! Thank you!

[@iamshake7778]

Go, go, go Ms. B =) I can hear more & more of your singing! Great tutorial again. peace & love ( This tutorial is what greeted me in youtube as I rise up today) Peace & love

[@jveit3326]

Love your teaching style Bernadette! This is one of our favorite songs ever and we look forward to your video of the whole song. Thanks so much!! :)

[@myukulelejourney2024]

Thanks, Bernadette! I've always used different fingering for D, so it's been a challenge relearning to do it with different fingers but it works better for transitioning between chords ... especially, now, that I know it's the same shape, just different fret.

[@5877user]

I love learning at my own pace and having the opportunity to view many different teachers and their style. I’m very comfortable w you bc you are so down to earth. There is a group of players in my area, but the teacher seems more involved w where her group will play next rather than teaching beginners, and you have to pay more for a four session beginners class that she gives separately. Her practice group is actually intermediate to long time players. I’m not there yet. But your tutorials allow me to build my proficiency slowly without developing bad habits. Thank you, God bless, and Merry Christmas.

[@ms.fischer4720]

Thank you so much for these! I got my starter uke two weeks ago and I’ve been using your videos to get started. I love it!!!!

[@stefanpienaar6989]

Excellent teacher and beautiful as well. (What a bonus!) Bought my first ukulele and loving it.

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

I tried playing it with three different teachers so far. Lol you all teach it differently . I like all of the tutorials

[@anthonymukombwe8177]

You so good in your explanations my teacher.I'm learning a lot from your tutorials.it's so interesting. I'm spending more time watching your videos than before.thumbs up....

[@Erulin68]

Played along on my acoustic guitar, same slap and pull but on open cords... The guitar going lower for the E fits perfectly with the ukelele going higher on it :)

[@PhoekPaulus]

I'm want to learn how to play ukulele. This is the best video I've ever seen. Not only give simple but progressive tutorial, but also motivation to keep learning. Keep your awesome work. Thank you!! 😀😀😀

[@southerngirlsociety]

GAH!! Keep singing! There's a hidden gem in that voice!!

[@leftycrafter]

I just found your channel and I’m so happy. Lots of channels say easy and for beginners, but they are not. You explain things so clearly. I’m finally excited that I might learn! Thank you.

[@loridikena7581]

You are such a great teacher. I always learn something new from your videos👍

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Lori Dikena thank you, Lori!!! 😘😘😘 What did you learn in this video?

[@patrikcerny4922]

It is always a pleasure practising with you. Youve got a talent to be a teacher.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Wow, thank you Patrick! It feels like forever since we chatted :)

[@patrikcerny4922]

Got caught up on things and did not have time to practice as I used to. But I am back ;) ... hope to see you with some epic song. It would be lovely if you could do a strumming pattern in conjunction with fingerpicking style.... just a thought. 😉🙃

[@sallyforth9323]

We’re Sooo ready for the complete play-along! Thank you so much, Bernadette, I’m really glad I found your channel. You’re GREAT! 🤩🙏🏼🎶

[@sharondsouza4940]

Thank you for the motivation miss.B. Because of u i wanted to learn the ukulele and now i am a PROUD subscriber. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Sharon D'Souza well I am PROUD to be your teacher! 🍎 welcome to the ukulele family! I hope you have fun in this channel :)

[@sharondsouza4940]

Yes miss.B i have alott of fun here!!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Good :D that's the goal!

[@natchananbunyasawet3556]

Your ukulele and this song is so cute, thanks for teaching the way how to play easier. Have a cool day !

[@kenselayre]

Hi Ms B. I have been following your videos for tips and tutorials all week in anticipation of receiving my Lohanu concert ukulele, and it finally came today. Im so excited! I can't believe I am playing one of my favorite songs! That E chord is difficult for me and my fingers hurt, but I am making music!!! Thank you for your clear and patient instructions. My 11 year old son is hooked on watching your videos with me and wants his own ukulele! You inspired us 😃

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Kimberly! 👋🏼 Welcome to the ukulele family and community!!! 🤗 you are going to LOVE IT here!!! Okay, so this version here is the one that sounds close to Bob Marley’s but here are two options to make it easier: Option 1 replace the E chord with an E7. E7 is easier than E. Or option 2: if you want a simpler version try this: Replace all the A chords with C chord Replace all the D chords with F chord Replace all the E chords with G7 chord So it would sound like this [C] Don’t worry, about a thing, cause [F] every little thing, is gonna be [C] alright Let me know if this makes sense. If not, I can film another version ;)

[@joshuahebert4914]

Never felt like I have found a comfortable finger position to play D until now, and it seems so obvious! Thank you for sharing your time and skill!

[@anti-socialbear5339]

I love that she says not to give up,It really helped me.

[@sharonschlice653]

I'm ready! Thanks for your awesome teaching skills, u r blessed with mad teaching skills indeed!!!! I am at home with three little kids and def don't have time to go and get lessons somewhere right now! U make me learning the uke possible and so fun!!! Thank u!!!!

[@putrisitirahmawati6575]

Kamu sangat hebat, mengajarkan dengan perlahan dan sanga jelas.. aku sangat kagum.. keren sekali.. aku belajar ukulele dari kamu

[@MiEleBooker]

I picked up the uke almost a month ago. Playing E chord is difficult at first, but dont give up! Build the muscle memory and take your time❤

[@elizafaria967]

Thank you for this :)

[@MegDong0925]

my god, love the way you said, "Wait, don't leave," and I stay!

Don Clough thank you so much, Don. KZbin gives me the best students in the world and I’m so lucky for that 💕

[@11jokerchen11]

This is a great song and your voice is beautiful for it! The pace of this tutorial is great, it's perfect to follow rightaway. And I love the strumming, it's so simple but sounds so much more special! Also I'd definitely love to see more bloopers in the future 😁

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Luisa aww Luisa, thank you!!! You’re seriously the so so kind. Always giving out compliments. The strumming definitely adds A LOT to the song and is really simple. Hope to hear you cover this song on your insta story ;)

[@HilariousKitties]

Love this! I feel like I’m really learning with your videos! One request… putting the full song visuals up together at the end so we can pause and play. It seems like all the tabs I find have different cords but I like your version the best so far. Easy to play and follow along. Thank you!

[@NoTrebleLowLife]

Super Complicated, lol. Once I pick up a uke your teaching me lol. Right now I got the ubass. Been playing bass since high school. Got back into playing recently with the ubass. And will picking up a uke soon. Your awesome, can’t wait.

[@thespas9678]

“Don’t get creative and use something else!” Hahahaha and the pivot from friends hahahah hahahaha omg I think this is the funniest I’ve seen so far!

[@karissimah]

So happy I found your lessons. I like the tips for transitioning from A to D to E! Now I’m going to go back and do your 30 day challenge.

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

I love this. I've been practicing this song over and over again.

[@petecassidy2580]

What a TRULY WONDERFUL LESSON! I love the way you teach.

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

I think your voice is soothing like a lullaby

[@sherryb9770]

You are just the best! Between the easy version video, this one and the left hand chuck short video, I can break this song down into several skills and then put them back together and build it back up into the complete song. So 😎 cool! Patreon member forever! ❤

[@thomashankhogan2778]

Thanks, I am so glad I tried this wonderful lesson ! A & D, are working but "E" eludes me ! Time to take a break, trim the finger nail on the "pinky" finger. Then put some Aspercreme on my hands because they ache so much ! The little percussive "chuck" has got me hooked ! I can't wait to have a song to play on my little ukulele ! Harpinhankhogan

[@raysparks3161]

I already play guitar so I reckon I've got a start for learning ukelele (I'm getting one for my birthday in a few weeks). You are so clear and encouraging, I'm sure I'll be average in no time :)
