Can't Help Falling in Love Easy Ukulele Tutorial

[@AkelloStone]

Impressed as always by your skill and instruction - but next time, more bloopers! LOL . You should consider facilitating Ukulele weddings dressed like Elvis (that thing you did with your upper lip - ha!!) .

[@JJMilare]

Yes more bloopers!! Hehe. I’ll try to have more next time if there are any. Sometimes when I mess up I delete the video right away so not much bloopers. Oh man I haven’t got to become a wedding musician yet! Hopefully soon tho! Thanks alway bro for your advice!!

I loved your video. I am just starting to learn how to play the ukulele; so it was at my level. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. The picking pattern was perfect for me. Am excited to apply it to the song.

Your tutorial is very good and easy to follow. Have you considered using a Baritone uke tuning?

[@JJMilare]

Much mahalo. No I haven’t considered that before. I am more used to standard tuning. I know baritone tuning is the same as guitar so it would be the same fingering just difference names of the chords :)

[@Sasha-lk3cm]

JJ, I really enjoy your tutorials and I’m learning so much. I’m new to playing the ukelele but I was wondering about your G string being an octave lower than mine. Is that just another way to tune it?

[@JJMilare]

Yes it’s another way to tune it but a low G string is thicker than the high G string. If you would like to try a low G, then you can buy a low G string set and change them out. Or try an ukulele that has a low G and see if you like it first

[@daisyhui4120]

Hi there! Love this tutorial, I’m trying to learn and play for my daughter, where can I find a music sheet? so that I can download and practice.

[@JJMilare]

Ah sorry I don’t have one but I found one that is in the same key of C. tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/elvis-presley/cant-help-falling-in-love-chords-1086983 hope this helps! 🤙🏽

I love the sound of your ukulele. May I know the brand of it? I know it’s a tenor one. I have a Lanikai. I love your voice too..❤️❤️❤️

[@JJMilare]

Aloha! Yes my ukulele is a Pono. Made by Ko’olau guitar company. Yes it’s a tenor! I love my ukulele too and the strings I use are low g d’addario. I like some of the Lanikai lines too! Much mahalo for the kind words also on my singing! I wish to take voice lessons some time

[@kelalamusic9258]

[@VideosfromAR]

Hi--I discovered your tutorials a few days ago when I randomly decided to try to learn to play ukulele--I bought this lovely instrument for my daughter years ago--you are a genius! Each video that I've tried so far has been so clear and fun!

[@JJMilare]

Aw much mahalo for your kind words! I’m so happy you are enjoying my tutorials! I hope to do more sometime! How long have you been playing so far?

[@VideosfromAR]

@@JJMilare Hi--just a few week! I started to play after Christmas.

[@JJMilare]

@@VideosfromAR oh wow that is recent! Which song have you learned the whole way thru so far?

[@VideosfromAR]

@@JJMilare well, I can play along with Remember Me and Somewhere Over the Rainbow, but I have a long way to go in terms of technique and sound quality. The right hand will definitely take time (strumming, etc). I can also play along with Can't Help Falling in Love., though some of the chord changes are a little rough. Good thing I'm mostly just playing by myself! It takes me forever to memorize songs. Do you teach or perform on Maui? We'll be there for a short visit in early March. It would be cool to see you performing!

[@JJMilare]

@@VideosfromAR wow so awesome! That’s a lot of songs since you just started and that’s a good pace! And yes I would say continue to practice those three and fine tune those strumming and chord switches as you practice. Practice makes permanent. It will get easier each time you play them :). And I used to teach and perform on Maui a lot but moved away from Maui during COVID 😢

[@viewer80]

Hi I'm a beginner. Just got my ukulele. When I listen to the strumming part, why does my top string sound so different? I checked my tuning, but it still sounds off. Do I need to tune my ukulele in a different way? This is such a great video! Can't wait to master this.

[@JJMilare]

Hmm let’s see. The top string should be the G. Depending on your strings you may have the high G or low G string set. It may sound different due to the high and low, but should sound the same. Make sure you are tuning the top note to G?

[@viewer80]

@@JJMilare that makes sense. Thank you 😊

[@JJMilare]

Much mahalo! I am glad you are able to learn here!

[@vths684]

I know it should be easy..But is there a easier way for Dm , Em and B7 plss?

[@JJMilare]

For the Dm: you can barre the 5th fret. For the Em you can try barre the 7th fret. For the B7 you can try barre the 2nd fret then add your middle finger on 3rd fret of 3rd (C) string. Lmk if that helps :)

[@vths684]

@@JJMilare What kind of chord should I use for the 5th fret , 7th fret and is there another easier thing for e7 pls

[@JJMilare]

@@vths684 for the fifth fret, you can press all the strings for the Dm. And then for the 7th fret you can press all the strings for the Em. As for the easier way for E7, I haven’t thought of one yet, but if you know how to do the G7, the only difference is you are moving your pointer finger from the 2nd string up to the fourth string on the first fret. :). Lmk if that helps or if it’s not clear :)

[@donnabrasher397]

Do you have a link to a chord sheet for the song I could print?

[@JJMilare]

Aloha! Not yet still have been working on it. It is almost done tho. I am just tweaking it a little. But will let you know! 😃

[@xinyucao5477]

Sorry for a stupid question. But my G string sounds one scale higher than yours in this video. Why is that?😮

[@JJMilare]

@@xinyucao5477 I have a stringset that has a lower G string on it. You probably have a standard string set with a higher G string. I use the d'addario tenor low G string set.
