[@kaylee8229]

Thank you. Tomorrow is my dad's 91st birthday, I'm going to play it for him 😀

[@UkuleleWineTime]

Love this so much! Happy birthday to him! Enjoy 😊

Omg you saved my life! Thank you so much! I needed this to sing it to my father and i did it perfectly!

[@lkodman]

OMG! I've looked everywhere for a Happy Birthday rendition that wasn't boring but that I could actually play. Thanks for this. Now I just have to get over my stage fright. I play fine alone but then I try to record myself and have 10 takes before one is without major errors. LOL!

[@UkuleleWineTime]

Love it!! You can do it! Go slow and try breaking it down into smaller sections, rather than running the whole song. Once you pause or stumble, THAT is the part that you run 8x in a row, and then put it back into a larger section. You got this!! 🙌

[@Precious-priencess]

LoL wow that's awesome you are the best ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Catherine, this is great. I am just getting started and you have been very helpful. Nice and slow is what I need, with lots of practice. I love your Ukelele Wine Time intro! You make it fun! Thanks so much!

[@UkuleleWineTime]

Love it! Very happy to hear this, and thanks for your kind words. Go slow and build a strong foundation of rhythm - it will help you strum and learn songs more easily! -Kathryn💕

[@Barbara-lc9qi]

What's the nsme of your instrument?

[@UkuleleWineTime]

Hi Barbara - I play a Kala Gloss Solid Cedar Top Acacia Tenor with cutaway & EQ - it's my FAVORITE ukulele of all time!

[@kerrymann3823]

It's so hard to do a g chord😭 I have been trying to learn it for days!

[@UkuleleWineTime]

I feel you!! The G chord is definitely the toughest "beginner" ukulele chord. Try landing the two fingers (peace sign fingers) first, and then the ring finger will fall into place. I also recommend the "tap method" to practice to get comfortable with your G chord shape. I'll post a video below!

Because I played in the school in the morning

[@UkuleleWineTime]

Love it. Thanks for sharing with me!

[@skateboards4568]

I know the happy birthday to you

[@UkuleleWineTime]

So awesome!

[@tinajames60]

I don't understand the strumming pattern. It's too fast.

[@UkuleleWineTime]

Hey Tina - are you talking about strumming option number 3? I'll try to break it down a bit more for you here! So you play each chord for 3 beats. That can either be 1) ↓ One downstroke on beat 1, and hold it for 3 beats; 2) ↓↓↓ Three downstrokes on all 3 beats, or 3 down strums per chord; 3) OR ↓ ↓↑↓↑ (D DUDU), downstroke on beat 1, down + up on beat 2, down + up on beat 3. Play this pattern once per chord. Hope this helps!
