Dancing in the Moonlight // Beginner Ukulele Play-Along + Visual Tutorial

[@jtropic26]

I swear playing this song along with you every night after work is getting me through the dark cold winter nights AND the pandemic

[@rpasmore1]

Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the back up dancing kitties!!!!

[@budondo1]

The dog and cat back-up is the absolutely best! What a joy!

[@emilygrace1960]

Play along starts at 00:52. Y'all - for those of you who are struggling to "keep up"... Set your playback speed to a slower pace and work on keeping up with it that way. Once you can keep up, set it to the next higher speed. Keep going till you're at "normal". (See the wheel on the lower right of the video, next to the CC box.) This little idea has saved my life and I have learned soooo many more songs this way - not to mention, I've learned how to play so much faster as a whole because I set the playback speed to a level I can handle and then I move up as I get better.

[@vivelaresistance3239]

I can’t sing at all so playing along with you while learning the uke is so much fun. You’re a very good teacher. 🙏🏼

[@thendrix58]

OH WOW! One of my all time favorite songs! I was 15 when it came out and I had the 45 record! Thank you for doing this!

[@protectedbyangels3945]

One of my all-time favorite songs too, Terry! Idk what year it came out, but I was 11-13 years old when I first heard it. This song "does it" for me, and I just CAN'T SIT STILL when it's playing!! "Dance with Me" has the same effect on me. Songs like these are "magical" and they tend to nourish the soul. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@stephandpat9229]

LOVE your sing-alongs !! but THIS one ... with your adorable pups !!! and THREE of you ..... totally FABULOUS !!! MAHALO !!!!

[@annkuehnel9677]

Love seeing your pets dancing along!

[@janinesyoutube1096]

What a gift you give to us!! Especially in these times... to sit and enjoy and learn and feel so good while doing it... Positive blessings on you and yours!

[@srubzow]

Great version of this song and I loved the all "actors" involved. Cynthia nails it again!! She is my favorite online teacher!

[@williamcruse9555]

Your renditions of these songs motivate me to keep learning new songs because of how fun you always make it look.

[@bblaue3094]

This is sooo great ! ! ! Teaching people how to play ... the message of dancing in the moonlight ... can't be up tight .... and then there is a variety of you dancing in the moon light .... all positive "love" energy .... well done and thank you!

[@giulianapena9674]

Currently self-isolating and this video has brought me so much joy! You are my covid angel!

[@AniramTay]

This is the best tutorial for beginners. I just got my first Uke last week and you taught me this in just 30 mins. Thank you!! I would love to learn "Tears of a clown by Smokey Robinson" if at all possible please to play for my best friend. And again, Thank you!

[@jolenesavoie-day8544]

This is the best and most entertaining tutorial ever! Only you could teach such a fantastic song in less than 5 minutes AND brighten my day with your dancing furry friends in the moonlight.

[@patrickjosephmoore7297]

Hi Cynthia, this looks like an easy tutorial. I always need the easy and beautiful ones since I'm always quitting and then coming back to my Uke because of my work schedule. I'm hoping to pick it up again. I miss learning & playing it. This is a beautiful song & I love it. ❤😍

[@jessatimbal92]

The best teacher I can recommend 💗💗💗

[@DanyellEllis]

Love the chorus dancing 🥰

[@ambreleaute4842]

You're the only person with which I managed to learn ukulele! Can we have a tutorial with the song "Canción sin miedo" of Vivir quintana! It's a feminist song, I will love learn it with u as a teacher, thanks ❤️

[@Seabean24]

So fun! And love the fur babies! You bring such joy! Thank you!

[@sibua-007]

ALOHA !!! You"re the best teacher Cynthia

[@MrMaestroSoda]

Love the five dancers!!

[@k.c.8658]

How about Tiny Dancer, since we’re in a 70s mood? Hard to teach but so nice to listen to. Year of the Cat would bod good also.

[@jerichovargas3885]

She just makes everything perfectly easy. Teach me more sensei. 😍😍😍

[@jayablejay]

Hi Cynthia. This is a great play along tutorial for one of my all time favorite songs. I am playing alone with a guitar. The more simplify chord naming for songs based on the Ukulele makes it easier for me to play at this stage of my playing level on the guitar. In other words no 9, 11, ... extension, but the song still sound rich and very colorful. Thanks.

[@nickstoli]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[@thatonekid6741]

Hi I just love your videos .. I can play many songs smoothly now, and i love your voice thanks a lot

[@doriandavis]

Yayyyyy!! Such a fun play-along Cynhtia! Especially loving the Mochi and Chewie cameos!!!

[@eledeenutz]

[@bobvanwest]

Another great song, thank you. Lots of fun to play. I switched the Em7 to an Em. Actually went back and forth just for the fun of it.

[@jackyjo.9559]

3:19 Cat is not amused, the dog is just confused xD *rofl* Great lesson! Thank you for that! Is one of my favourite songs all the year.

[@angelalinares338]

Dancing. Catchy song. Thank you Cynthia. ❤❤

[@TroyNaumu808]

LOVE IT !!!! the dancing was nice too.

[@glenavaldez7890]

This is the best uku cover so far thank uuuu

[@emilygrace1960]

YAS!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you show us the chords we will be using for this song!! I picked up the ukulele pretty quickly because I grew up studying classical piano from kindergarten through college so I went through the basics pretty quickly. Where I really needed the most was just in playing along with various videos and trying to keep up. I am actually on your Patreon but I follow along here more... I did your beginner lessons and I am still working through some of the last ones but the thing that has helped me most is to finish off my time by going to one of your songs and playing along while trying to keep up. I'm getting better and better each night and man oh man has it been an awful lot of fun!! THANK YOU for doing these for us and thank you the most for putting the chords in there (along with the correct fingering)!! As a classical pianist, I know full well how important that correct fingering can be and I don't want to learn bad habits that I may have to break later so thank you sooo much!! Any chance you'll put together a playlist of songs that starts with the easiest and ends with the hardest? I would sure love to have something like that to follow and play along on each night.

[@Charles-lq8so]

Finally! I love this song and I'm very glad you did a ukulele version on it, thank you!

Thank you for your tutorials! Learning the ukelele for a couple of weeks so far, with you the best teacher I’ve found online. Practicing a little bit everytime I can - chords changes and the chucking. Love music, I play some cello but ukelele is challenging to my left hand 😂 Thank you again for sharing your music and your knowlege, you are a great teacher! Best regards from Peru.
