Happy Birthday // How to Read Tab // Ukulele Tutorial

[@tubeyou89119]

Cynthia is the best ukulele teacher on KZbin by taking the time explaining and demonstrating the very basic to beginners instead of assuming everyone knows the basic. Thank you.

[@juanenriquemendoza7653]

True but it doesn’t help when you get told it’s someone’s birthday and you have to learn the song in 2 min. Rlly unhelpful in my situation but really good in other

[@JayeVoyaging]

I agree. Exactly!

[@ronaldkoh5281]

Cynthia you are definitely a very good ukulele teacher. You teach at the good pace, stress the significant points, and repeat where and when necessary, just like face to face teaching. You are very centered on what you need to emphasize as it goes. Thank you very much for this video and another two videos I have watched, Your first ukulele lesson and How to Strum the ukulele.

[@BillHart_Family_Friends]

I can’t compliment you enough for the patience you exhibit in your tutorials. Absolutely excellent! Thanks!

[@rajamhelentheresa2969]

So true

[@tropicalbreeze7508]

I've been looking for someone just like you. Your style is perfect for beginners. There are other channels that show beginners 2-4 chords but once they start playing they go straight into the song as though you've been playing for years. I don't think they get the concept of beginner but you do and I really appreciate it. Your step by step is perfect especially when you break it down chord by chord and then build into the song.

[@mariontl6764]

Thank you Cynthia. Just got my uke at Christmas. First song I have played with actual notes :) Have time to practice for the next birthday for one of my grandchildren. I appreciate the lessons so much.

[@maui-spinz7558]

Can I just say I watched like 10 videos trying to figure out how to play myself happy birthday by tomorrow and this was the best one I saw and the most easy to follow! Mahalo!!

[@wolfpack9479]

I have to learn this by 3 aclock today and right now for me its 10

[@maheshgvp7735]

OMG! I have never played a ukelele song before, learned this in less than 30 minutes. Thanks so much

[@marissaxqz]

i learned it in less than 5 min because I go to classes so it's easy and I skipped a lot 😃

[@xbecxxx]

Do you have the strumming pattern please.

[@robpilz3421]

You are an amazing teacher Cynthiai!! I appreciate how you clearly demonstrate the chords physically, slowly and with verbal cues multiple times.

[@rajamhelentheresa2969]

True

[@maudiea7952]

[@louisecaissie6967]

I am just a beginner but feel you are soo easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much for making all of your wonderful tutorials God Bless you for helping us all..

[@nancybacheldar7933]

I love the wood look of that ukulele your playing.

[@phyllismorris94]

Thank you Cynthia In my 6 months of learning slowly and practising avg 20 minutes per day every day, this is the first instruction that has got me to understand how to read tabs.

[@farishadelorenzo4780]

Hi Cynthia. I really appreciate how you explain slowly and oh my God you have so much patience ... you are truly a blessing!! Thank you so much!

[@patriciaslaven4850]

Hi my special teacher, thank you for teaching me to play Happy Birthday. I am a learner to ukulele and I will be playing to my mum who will be 90 years on September 15th. In front of family and friends , mum has no idea. Love your fantastic technique of teaching thank you. I am trying to learn lots of other songs too. You are the best XPatricia

[@steveflanagan5206]

Great to learn a song while seeing a tab. I’ve watch several beginning videos and you were the first to include the tabulation while playing. Extremely helpful. Mahalo

[@v.j.morrison1784]

So cute... and great practical teaching too m! Thank you! I’m a 68 yr old beginner!

[@abigaelvillorente9300]

This is very hepful. And so good for a beginner like me. I saw other tutorials and i didnt get it, until i found this video and was able to sing the whole song and record it to greet my my sis in law, its her bday today. Thank you so much 💛❤ God bless you!

[@tabithastubbs4780]

Thank you!!! This is the first song that I can play that actually sounds like it should!

[@binitarai7929]

Love you Cynthia for making it really simple. I always wanted to play a guitar but my fingers r too small, so I gave up. Recently My bro gifted me ukulele and i landed in ur tutorial. I have been following u since then. U r the best. I m so much into uku and ur videos that i have started seeing u in my dreams. Lots of love and thanks for making me believe that i can play

[@rowenzmacxswell4360]

Thank you! You are a great teacher and the number style on the chord is the best, so easy to follow. Been practicing for quite sometimes but having difficulty changing the fingers while looking at the chart. This Happy Birthday is the 1st ever complete song I played in my Ukelele and I loved it...will look forward to viewing your other videos on this. God bless!

[@mukeshharrikissoon8570]

The best I have seen. Lots of passion and patience into her tutorials

[@paisleygirl11]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, Cynthia! I borrowed a ukulele so I could learn the Happy Birthday song for my granddaughters. You are so clear and patient in your teaching, and you make it so much fun. Many thanks!

[@jessatimbal92]

The best uke teacher

[@bethbouman9747]

Wonderful teacher. I watch her videos over and over to fine tune my beginner's technique.

[@Claudio_T_M]

Hey hello, thanks for this tutorial, it's just perfect. Sooooooo clear and easy for anyone. 🙏🏼

[@repentlessss]

That's a beautiful ukulele. Also I love how you always seem so calm and peaceful in your videos lol. Ukulele can be very therapeutic. :)

[@kanimmridula3138]

I really love your tutorial. Thanks Dear 🥰 Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@inksie6356]

Best ukulele tutorials I've found so far! I love how clear everything is. Thank you so much for posting these videos! I can't wait to surprise my dad with the new things I've learned. c:

[@pandatours]

Wow this is so helpful! I got my ukulele today and my mom's birthday is in two days so this is so much more helpful and encouraging to a beginner than being depressed if you can't get the chords right away (which I know will take time but still). Thank you so much! I'm going to print out the tab chart and practice

[@tanyacovington8993]

I just bought my ukulele last week and thanks to you I can play Happy Birthday without messing up. Thanks so much. I will move on to one of your other tutorial ukulele songs . Keep up the good work.

[@ameliaburbury4828]

omg never picked up a uke in my life and I have now absolutely nailed happy bday best vid ever

[@Windryder1]

Thank you for this tutorial. :) I'm new to the ukulele. Since it's my bestie's birthday today, and she didn't want anyone to buy her anything (she's very tsundere like that), I learned how to play this and performed it for her. She happily accepted it. Thank you for posting this video. You enabled me to give my best friend something awesome. :)

[@jjbee79]

I have been really enjoying learning to play the ukulele with your tutorials, and I was especially pleased to get this email in time to learn how to play this song for my birthday. Thanks so much for your amazing videos!

[@poopsiedaisy1]

My husband got me a Gretsch Soprano Ukulele for my birthday last week! (Super stoked!! I've wanted a ukulele for a year. I've always wanted to be able to play an instrument for myself to sing along to and a ukulele seems manageable.) My daughter immediately wanted one too. (We got her a Denver.) Now we're learning together and I'm SO glad to have found you Cynthia Lin, your videos and your teaching style and demeanor are the BEST!!! Hope you can help with a quick question, if I play this TAB version of Happy Birthday, what chords should my daughter strum to match it? (We are both beginners so I only know about six of them right now, but I'm learning more every day.) She has played a little bit of guitar at school, I've never played strings before at all so I don't know how to figure it out. Thank-you!

[@jessicaferry3491]
