C-F-C-G7 Chord Progression (Lion Sleeps Tonight)

[@keepingupwithteagan]

This is the only channel that actually teaches me

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+Teagan Staggers you are so SO nice for that compliment!!! I really appreciate it! ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ I'm happy you're learning. Let me know if you need help.

[@5877user]

She's the very best for all ages.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so so much 🤗❤️

[@vonage_sasb9356]

My son sent Ukulele on my 54th Birthday and sent me this link to learn to play this instrument. I am playing an instrument for the first time in my life. It's very useful. Thanks. God bless you and your family with peace and contentment.

[@greenghost6691]

Awesome. Are you still playing?

[@sugarfreedom]

I'm 55 and my son encouraged me to get started too. Our kids and Bernadette are wonderful.

[@suzetteroberts9072]

I am an over 50 beginner too! I'm Not a musician and need to start with the kids level....Nice to hear I am not alone.

[@berbonica]

Many tutorials on youtube go too fast, but the video is still long. You are such a good teacher that you explain the chords well, help with practice, and do it in under five minutes. Well done!!!

[@speelvlooien]

Hi Bernadette, don't hasitate to sing. You have a beautiful voice!

[@GAPRMedia]

I know this is an older video but wow......I have been struggling with that G7 as if it was the source-of-all-evil on the ukelele. I play a tenor uke and tried so many other tutor sites. FINALLY, this progression has me locking in on the G7 and moving to it quickly enough to build speed doing it! Many thanks for this three-year-old (as of today) video! I only wish I had found it sooner.

[@mdupyranch]

Just picked up the ukulele because my church started a group. Bernadette's lessons are VERY HELPFUL because she is patient and slow and explains WHY she does what she does. Looking forward to learning more! Also love the chords showing up in the box over her shoulder !

[@Margareth20648]

I know a lot of chord progression, but I could never put the music together. Well, I am playing for 3 weeks now. Thank you so much for showing to me it is possible. I did a great job, even my family saw! This is so exciting!

[@jaceybear4124]

i got my ukulele about a week ago now and ive been trying to find tutorials and easy steps and then i found you! you really helped me im not lying, i saw all these channels with a million fans but there tutorials were complicated, you on the other hand really taught step by step and you helped me! i also finally can do a G7 because of you x

[@tedhayakaze8022]

I had watched a several lesson videos by other instructors but you are the best teacher I'd ever seen. I promised to myself that I will learn to play with your video. Thank you Bernadette.

[@jasneskis]

Cord progressions are so important. Repeated in every song. I am so glad you are addressing this subject and look forward to more progressions.

[@blandinedefrain883]

Thank you so much. I learn a lot with your lessons! I have a Ukulele since 4 days and i make progress every day!

[@producermark11]

That was the best one so far Bernadette, thanks. First, I really liked the chord pics showing up on the side as you played it. Second, you began really slowly with close-ups. Nice ! Made it super easy.

[@elizabethchavez1855]

I've been playing the ukelele since 2018 but I never actually sat down and practiced chord progressions. This video definitely helped me touch up on things I didn't even realize I was doing wrong.

[@rockingdanteachingman]

Another great Ukulele lesson Bernadette.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Rocking Dan Teaching Man you are so supportive! Thank you 😊

[@rockingdanteachingman]

No problem, your videos are great. Have a wonderful day.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+Rocking Dan Teaching Man you as well! :)

[@5877user]

I was determined to start learning this song. Up til now I hated it because the only "teacher" close to me plays it too fast and her electric uke drowns us all out. Most people don't mind. But I'm not learning anything from her, or at least not nearly as much as I learn from Ms. B. Ms. B is making this song doable. Peace and lots of love, Ms. B.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so so much for letting me know. Please continue to give me your comments and feedback to keep this channel accessible for everyone 🤗❤️

[@jyotirmoychatterjee2374]

I just started to learn how to play a ukulele ,it was a hard time but the way you teach me makes it a lot easier and better 😊

[@majidkanka4118]

You are the best, le best ukelele teacher I have ever seen , God bless you and thanks so much for your help!!!

[@jordanpalisoc186]

This is the only channel that actually teaches me very well

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so much. That is a huge compliment. Have you tried taking the 30 Day Uke Challenge? I think you’ll have fun with this! kzbin.info/aero/PLJFa3EaocfZkPvRqVaUf6pFuPxiLo0uWZ

[@dedclownsRfunny]

Tripple J same!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you both ❤️

[@fashiontoaster1]

Thank you very much for all of your videos. You are an awesome teacher.

[@lisapeters-schmidt8634]

I've been catching up on all your videos the last few days. You are by far the best music teacher in KZbin Land. Thank you for posting incredibly easy to follow, step by step instructions. Keep singing. Make a joyful noise!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Wow, Lisa! Thank you for your loving comment. I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for the compliment. I hope to continue growing as a teacher for this community ❤

[@pinkykaram7668]

Really really happy I saw ur videos..... hv bought d ukelele 5 months back but I knew how to play happy birthday only....dats it ..!!! But nw I m learning alot from ur videos.... u teach sooo nicely..so precisely... A good teacher is so important n ur dear. I adore u.... Thanks alot dear.....Thank you I met u...❤❤

[@CecisKusina]

Thank you so much for sharing and teaching how to play ukulele.Very helpful for the begginer like me.

[@passkat]

I'm really happy I found this thumb nail...I'm actually feeling like I can now play this wooden thing haha. Keep them coming...thanks.

[@mariav.4832]

This is super! Started a week ago and am already playing this song. Not super good yet, but better than I dared to dream. Thank you Bernadette. You are a fantastic teacher. (tip! Slow down the video a bit if you're a complete beginner like me, it can help) 😉

[@reginamcintyre8423]

I think you are wonderful!!! Fun to learn, fun attitude, perfect for me!

[@leegibson1298]

Watching and playing along to a few of your lessons, nervous about joining the uke group in the pub soon - but I will have fun and learn a little bit more. Take care - Lee - glad you liked some of my art.x

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+Lee Gibson hey, we all start somewhere. Even the guys in your pub group were beginners. I notice I grow and learn the most when I play with people who are better than me. I think joining asap would be the best for you. Showing up to the practice would be the toughest part. Once you're there, the rest is easy.

[@suzetteroberts9072]

Thank you for breaking this down so even a non musician can learn. Other channels go too fast as if they are teaching someone that already plays guitar.

[@barrekelley9268]

Great video, thank you. It helps a lot and I love the way you teach.

[@RobJ1929]

I stumbled across the website and I have enjoyed everything you played and I have played the guitar the closet guitarist. I want to give this a shot since I love its sound and the number of songs you can play. Bernadette, your voice is good. You want to hear someone that cannot hold a tune, I am going to watch more so I can see how to learn from what you are teaching. Thank you for your Vlog.

[@setoGabes]

You're such a great teacher! Thank you so muchhh I usually have a hard time with musical instruments that use strings, but I'm actually learning pretty easily with your videos, that gives me so much motivation AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@Me2UChannel]

Thanks dear love your teaching God blessed 😍👍👌

[@alexamagallon301]

stumbled across these videos, honestly, the best videos/tutorials so far! this is so useful! Thank You!!!

[@FrancieGovan]

You are truly the BEST out there! I learn the most from you EVERY time! Thank you! :)

[@stephaniereeves6330]

Appreciate the chord progression lessons. Thank you!

[@peaceandlovegreene]

Your videos are so helpful for a beginner like me

[@lolmoster1549]

Bernadette: I am not a singer i know i am not Meh: CAN YOU HERE YOUR VOICE,LIKE YOUR THE BEST SINGER I HAVE EVER HERD! I will always support you Bernadette. :D

[@lizaespada4809]

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Liza! 👋🏼 Thank you so much for your comment and feedback! I try to keep the lessons easy, lighthearted, and fun -the way I do in my classroom. If you ever need help, please don’t hesitate to ask! We are here to support each other 🤗🤗

[@mitzigarnett5818]

Ooooooh!!! I love finding all all your golden nuggets!!! Love this. Thank you

[@henrytfe]

Hola Bernadette, me gusta muchísimo tu forma de enseñar. Solo echo de menos siempre que indiques el patrón de rasguidos de las canciones. Gracias por tus videos.

[@Almostmycheesecake]

You better stop saying that you aren't a singer cause you sing very well

[@maudy6095]

I just want to say thank you very very much for made this video!!!❤️❤️

[@pancakeyummy4070]

Excellent teacher Bernadette 👏👏

[@dpsc59]

What are you talking about? You definitely have a lovely singing voice... :) I first saw this song on the Cynthia Lyn Music channel. I was happy to just find your tutorial now. I've been practicing the video ou have on how to chuck, (almost got it), which Cynthia Lyn uses in her video, so that helped me alot... Thanks again for taking the time to teach online here.

[@TroyNaumu808]

Brilliant tutorial and instructor.

[@josephbensadoun3413]

Hi, your video's are amazing. anyway you can also show the strumming for the songs. I get lost with the strumming part of the songs.

[@rickpalmer3340]

Hi B' you're a star! I am finding your videos very informative and my uke playing is making good progress. Many thanks! I have a problem, however, I'm experiencing difficulty in holding the instrument - a soprano, correctly. i.e. keeping it still/stable whilst fretting and strumming. I don't use a strap and don't really want to. Please can you help me to take control?

[@sv-b2887]

In France we have the original by Henri Salvador. Nice to be able to sing it for m'y family. Thanks à lot.

[@mirwena]

Now You have to teach this island strumming You are using :P

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

You are so right! Strumming tutorials coming your way ;)

[@chuckjeffery944]

Your singing is fine...and so are you ;-) Thanks for the lesson

[@breedavid8425]

U are so useful and u have great voice

[@steviefrisbyable]

This is so much fun! The last instrument I played was the recorder in 4th grade (23yrs ago) Now I'm tearing it up on my little Ukulele! Thank you so much for all of your videos! Now I just have to figure out how to watch them in order ;)

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hey Stevie! Welcome to the Ukulele Family!!!! Welcome to this community too :) Browse the channel for videos... there are frequently asked questions, beginner mistakes videos, and a few easy song tutorials. Hope you like it!

[@leegibson1298]

That little slide trick is so cool.

[@danielrussell3246]

I absolutely love this video. No I'm sorry i don't play the Ukulele but my daughter is trying to learn. (Sorry I am all 6 sting guitar. 😬) However this is an amazing song for her to start with as chord progression goes. If she wants me to i will post the song. Otherwise maybe pray she at least stays with strings or singing like daddy. 😎 thank you for this video to teach my baby girl! 😁😁😁😁

[@lamadrama7448]

You r the only one who teaches me

[@AditiSinghShoots]

What is the strumming pattern for this song? Btw love this tutorial! You made it sound so simple🥳🥰

[@marialourdespereira8457]

I think its the island strum. Correct me if im wrong. :)

[@marianavidad9037]

Thanks for this, Bern! (Wow, that close? Bern???) this is my first cover using my first ever uke! 🥰 i enjoyed your vid and it really helped me a lot to learn 3 new chords. 💙

[@kathleenmellow8963]

Where should my thumb be on the neck when playing. Thank you for doing what u do

[@hiyouriinu]

We are learning this song in music class on the ukulele thank you so much for this

[@kolejohnson1946]

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

[@gracetoma5604]

[@tokokobayashi9262]

Thank u for sharing Teacher Berna ❤️❤️❤️

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you too, Toko!

[@drakenbraat1962]

I would love to learn to play this song on my ukulele, especially the part when I could sing the " Awhee-Maway- Awhee-Maway". :D

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

I FORGOT TO DO THAT! Ugh.. >.< Let me know if you try it out :D

[@drakenbraat1962]

Hehehehe it's okay, for me this is the fun part of the whole song. :D

[@enochlee9940]

Your singing is Beautiful no matter what 😘😘

[@franciemokihana9539]

Well, I retract my last statement about a picture of the finger chords! Many thanks! Lots of chords to practice! My finger tips hurt :(

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Francie :) The fingertips will hurt in the beginning, but as long as you practice 5 minutes every day, you will notice they won't hurt anymore!

[@paulfromswindon]

This is great! I am struggling to figure out what strum pattern you are using - is it one of the ones shown in your strumming videos? Thank you :-)

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+Paul Rayson hey! There are two strumming patterns I use for this chord progression. The intro section (before singing) uses pattern DUDUDUDU (Down Up Down Up Down Up Down Up) Strumming Pattern 5 The second pattern is DDUUD (Down Down Up Up Down) This video hasn't been released yet. Sorry 😔 But stay tuned!

[@paulfromswindon]

Brilliant, thank you :-)

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+Paul Rayson my pleasure!

[@kanacta1]

Bernadette Teaches Music Thanks! i was just gonna ask abt that. Thank you!

[@tedhayakaze8022]

I was wondering that too. But reading all the past comment would help me as well.

[@lvermerris1]

Thank you! Can you tell me where you got the little colored sticker dots and how you use them? Do you have a blog or something too!? Thanks

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi!! www.bernadetteteachesmusic.com I purchased the sticker dots at a local dollar store :) Here is a video about how I use them kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5_UfXh7Yt-njtk In the description box of that video there's a link for you to buy them online ;)

[@lvermerris1]

Thank you! So they don't damage the instrument at all? That's great! Thank you!

[@TereseS5432]

Hi there…..What strumming pattern do you use for this song? I’ve been learning the ukulele for 2 weeks. I love your way of teaching. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sugarfreedom]

That was so much fun! Thanks.

[@johnniepowell6827]

Very good tutorial . Thank you .

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you, Johnnie!! 😊❤️☺️

[@deepthiar9742]

Please teach the strumming pattern you used here :)

[@mariyamfaizi8715]

Hi, could you also add the Strumming pattern in the videos . Thanks alot

[@amandaace2768]

The strum pattern pleaseee

[@timscott9397]

Great song. I am just practising it now with strumming. Is the strumming pattern DUDU-DUDU for each chord? Thanks

[@sleepye7594]

DDUUDU

[@reginamcintyre8423]

Can u teach us strumming, too? That would be cool.

[@mitzigarnett5818]

I would sure love it if you showed the end strumming at the same demonstration level as the notes. It's my Achilles heel

[@pineappleslice2602]

Hi Ms. B. What strumming pattern are you using here? DDU UDU?

[@samriddhi43]

I didn't understand how to coordinate between chord progression and strumming. How long and how do I strum in between chord progression?

[@romerooremor]

I agree. You're the best!

[@musicfan712]

Great tutorial. Are they the same as guitar chords? Do you plan on learning any other instruments?

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+musicfan100 hey! Thank you :) You could play along with any chord instrument, really 😉 I do have plans of learning other instruments in the distant future. For now I plan on growing my KZbin channel and spending time with my cat 🐱

[@oldigger7060]

Is your cat musically inclined also?

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+oldigger 😂 he meows beautifully and he never leaves the room when I'm playing instruments, so I would say yes!

[@oldigger7060]

Just get him to meow in the key of C and you'll have your own little orchestra!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+oldigger 😺😸😼 I love my kitties!!!

[@mirkosmurguia9507]

It.s great... but don.t forget to teach us how many times up or down we have to play it.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

thank you for the tip!

[@AmielDGtv]

Hello Ma'am, im having a hard time learning how to strum this song. Do you have any video to teach me?

[@zhaoiuvita4966]

hey,Bene, I have a question. As I am a new beginner. I wanna follow your tutorials step by step, however, It is hard for me to find from which to which next.. Do you have any idea to help me ?

[@nemoniknemonik]

Strumming pattern, please? I believe it's DUDUDU for the intro, but I can't figure it out after that. Thanks!

[@thewyrdest1]

Just to clarify, is the strum: D DU UDU (2 times per chord)?

[@skrimontgv2217]

👍🏻

[@terras9527]

I was wondering how she strums up and down! I can only strum down… I very new any suggestions?

[@emmasimpson6338]

Do you use D DU UDU pattern at the end?

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Yes! The island strum (D DU UDU) definitely works for this song! :)

[@barrekelley9268]

Ready to work on scales

[@leegibson1298]

You are a good teacher. Appreciated.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

+Lee Gibson thank you SO much. I appreciate you taking the time to write such a nice comment 🤗

[@Anoudyoo]

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@venicemillicent]

What is the strumming pattern

[@bradmcrae9679]

What do you use to mark your frets for the C chord, F chord etc.. and where do you buy them? Thanks.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Brad McRae oh my goodness, I can't believe I didn't see this comment. I am SO SORRY! I mark C chord with a red dot and F chord with green dots. I buy the dots at the dollar store

[@kevinfriaz3968]
