Dodie Clark - Would You Be So Kind? | UKULELE TUTORIAL

I teach you step by step how to play Would You Be So Kind by dodie on the ukulele. This lesson includes chords and strumming patters that go with the song. Share this with any of your friends who love dodie and want to learn her songs on the ukulele!
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BEAT COUNT: I realize that I halved the beat count (I counted the "and" beats as full beats) but it's okay because it's all relative to each other! Just follow the rhythm and what I count out in the tutorial. It doesn't really make a difference. I just wanted to acknowledge I'm not the most technical music teacher lol. You could actually disregard this entire note and be able to play the song fine. Just wanted to address it for those who care more about actual beat count.

Fuggggggginnnng dodieeeeeeee😭

[@sheppin_]

Tilly Rose How are you fingers, are they in pain? Cause, mine are aching. Think I know why. It’s all those damn bar chords. Why do I try?

[@blubee2289]

And I don’t like

[@po0pie_pants159]

Tilly Rose SAME

[@prcs420]

Literally me throughout this whole tutorial: right barre chord... either i press really hard and endure excrutiating pain afterwards OR i live with the buzzing... *smashes ukulele and bursts into tears* WHY AM I LIKE THIS

[@delightswift]

Precious SAMEEEEE OMG!!

[@frogfacewolfhard8107]

MEEEEEE OMG

[@psquared04]

Hey, it's me. I'm driving myself crazy with one.

[@zeger3122]

Listen, I know this is a year old already but it really helps to press against the back of the neck when doing barre chords, it balances out the needed force to get a good barre chord, if you're still struggling, trust me you will get stronger fingies over time

[@lcharkie]

Same TwT my index finger hurts

[@beeoates2765]

Bar chords hurt my fingers so much but I am willing to suffer for Dodie

[@harryfanatic7502]

Hey guys!! If anyone finds this tutorial hard you should try a couple more times because the more you practice the easier it will be, *BUT* if you would like an easier version here you go. (it does require a capo if you want it to sound more like the original!). You put your capo on the fourth fret. The intro is *C* and *Fadd9* x2. The verse is *C* , *Fadd9* , *Am* , and *G* . The chorus is *C* , *Fadd9* , *Dm* , *Em* , *F* , and *G. The bridge is F* , *G* , *Am* , and *G* . Also I use the strumming patterns that were given in the video, they work great, I hope this helped!!

[@falryworld]

Thank you!!! Srsly, bar chords are really hurtful. ;(

[@manuelawh]

i remember trying to learn this song right when i got my first ukulele (which was also my first instrument) and struggling sooo much omg i gave up so fast lol and now looking back on this tutorial it seems so stupid easy to play. just goes to show how far dedication, passion, hard work, and practice can take you

[@babystarcooky]

maybe i shouldnt have tried to learn this song as soon as i got my ukulele heeeeheee

[@EliseEcklund]

This is one of the more difficult uke tutorials on my channel! Mostly because of the barre chords though. Even my fingers hurt a little after playing it lol.

[@parkerryann]

chica stan same tho too many bar chords😂

[@liamariexxx7887]

I literally did the exact same😂

[@quenlinb2156]

roseibach lol I tried this when I first got mine and it was basically impossible so I gave up and a year later I remembered the song and it’s so much easier but my fingers still hurt tho... damn barre chords got my fingers broken

[@ceci.c4558]

SAME

[@mrloverman9007]

You are my main ukulele teacher and you really help me! I just found you by scrolling through youtube for uke tutorials!!

[@EliseEcklund]

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you

[@boyhuyo1707]

Okay, so i got the learning part covered, now i just need to take care of the 'gEt bETTer AT sinGing' PaRT-

[@anonymouspotato3453]

Learning this on guitar, not uke, but the strumming pattern was still super helpful. Thanks so much!

[@kaya4391]

This was super helpful! I pretty much learned the song in one night thanks to you!

[@EliseEcklund]

So happy to hear that! You're welcome!:)

[@xxrossaaxx2043]

The E chord is definitely hard for me but there is a alternative way I use... I do a D chord on the 4th fret and mute the G string with my pointer finger. I do that my lowering my pointer more than usual 😃 Hope this helped anyone struggling with the E chord..

[@mirasfingerbandages]

IM ORDERING A UKULELE TODAY AND THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO IM WATCHING TO ACTUALLY PREPARE FOR IT

[@elissacolon5778]

You're the best!!! Your explaining is easy to follow, I (maybe) stole the uke from my bro (he doesn't use it) just bc ur awesome. (and bc Tyler) i can't even remember how many songs I've learned from you. Anyways, thanks 💕😁

[@_kuraaiii]

playing this might actually help strengthen my hand enough for barre chords i luv u for this tysm! ^^

[@ThePuppyluver17]

I tried watching so many other tutorials to learn this song, and I wasnt able to get it. But I watched your tutorial yesterday, and today Im able to play the entire song front to back complete with all of the mutes :) Thanks for the great tutorial

[@EliseEcklund]

You're welcome! I'm so happy that it helped! Thank you for being here

[@leoniep1502]

It's so late rn but the strumming pattern in this song really made me so angry because I wouldn't get it right on my own and I was looking for a tutorial how to play it and yours was sooo helpful! Totally gonna try it tomorrow when I won't disturb my family from sleeping and I hope I will get it right then too!

[@xxMusicxSpeaksxx]

I haven't perfected the song, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for this! I can hear it improving, and I wouldn't have been able to begin without your tutorial. God bless!

[@shanazoe3795]

A lovely tutorial :) It's great to use when your gran asks if you can "fiddle a tune on your lute!" and you suddenly need to learn a song you only know the lyrics to.

[@fj-mn7hw]

I think we can all say that Elise is the most qualified person to make a tutorial on a Dodie song. Yeah, that's right.

[@mariannem2594]

As soon as I heard the snaps and claps, I knew it would be a great video

[@vijzon]

I- I just recieved my ukelele yesterday and started practising this song and now I can play all the chorus but just not at the right speed :,) I'll keep it at! I wanna play this to my bf since I sent the song to him in a little bottle a few months ago when confessing back and this time i wanna play it in person

[@melanystuffidk3047]

This is the best tutorial bless your soul

[@EliseEcklund]

Thank you!:)

[@mojo11417]

I have just discovered your channel and you are an amazing teacher. Can't wait to play this on my uke!

[@EliseEcklund]

Thank you so much!!:)

[@oneohsix106]

This is an aMAZING tutorial. I’m pretty beginner still but all I had to do to keep was throw this bad boy on 0.75x and now I’m able to play it and I can get faster. That’s awesome, love this song 💕

[@jennicasancianco7157]

I loved this song so much and I wanted to learn it on my ukulele for a while but I hadn’t picked up on it until today when I saw your tutorial. You made sound so easy and I think you are a great instructor 🤗🤗🤗 I’ll be practicing this song from now on 😇😇😇

[@moyiaalice9447]

For everyone talking about their hurt fingers, Doodie and Elise have stronger finger pads because they’ve been playing along time so you really need to practice and keep doing those difficult cords because it will strengthen your finger pads

[@eva441]

thank you so much, your tutorial made it really easy!!

[@EliseEcklund]

You're welcome!:)

[@robbiesmith8055]

This explanation was so helpful! You have a lovely voice and I will definitely start frequenting your channel xx

[@xoxo-hu4nj]

Holy heck, you and Dodie HAVE to do a collab sometime. And to make things even better, add THOMAS SANDERS

[@_giddy]

Here’s the chords you do if you want to do it with a kapo (4th fret) 😄 C I have a question F It might seem strange Am How are your lungs? G Are they in pain? ' C Cause mine are aching F Think I know why Am I kinda like it, though G You wanna try? C Oh, would you be So kind F As to fall in love with me, you see I'm trying Em I know you know that I like you Am But that's not enough G So if you will Please fall in love C I think it's only fair F There's gotta be some butterflies somewhere, wanna share? ' Em Cause I like you Am But that's not enough G So if you will C Please fall in love in love with me (Repeat verse) (Repeat chorus) F G Am G. F G Am G Me. Ah ooooooooh F. G Oh, do me a favour Am. G Can your heart rate rise a little? F. G Do me a favour Am G Can your heart rate rise a little? repeat chorus then your done!

[@Elaine-hh4oo]

What's the strumming pattern? I'm getting rly frustrated trying to mute the strums in the tutorial

[@whatamidoing2856]

Yeah boi how come my music taste is everything you play? By the way, thanks for the tutorial i was kinda struggling with figuring out the right chords for this song :) Quick question: I've had my ukulele for a few years now, and it's just a really cheap one that doesn't sound especially nice. Do you have any recommendations for good ones?

[@EliseEcklund]

lol I'm so glad we share the same music taste! That's awesome:) And you're very welcome. Everything I know and recommend when it comes to ukes is pretty much explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XMgaiFr7GZa6c idk if you've seen it yet, but those are really the only two ukes I have knowledge on. When in doubt, Luna and Kala are usually good brands to go with:)

[@IvyRamey]

If you play with a capo on the 4th fret you can play C, F, Am, G for the verses, C,F,Am, G, Am, G for the chorus and for the bridge F, G, Am, G

[@jas-qd4ph]

I WAS LOOKING FOR A TUTORIAL ON THIS SONG! AND YOU DID IT THANKYOU SO MUCH

This song really made me want to own a uke but seeing the chords make my knees weak i’m just a beginner 😭

[@rachela.1200]

I was looking for a tutorial everywhere on Google and then apparently my intelligent brain decided to finally check KZbin thank you!

[@gleamingmoonrise4234]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I love this song as I love your videos :) (so, too much, haha) I'm so happy that I can try to play one of the Dodie's songs on ukulele now, bc i couldn't find good tutorial. Your tutorials are very helpful, thanks a lot again❤

[@scarlett9883]

this was so incredibly helpful! thankyou!:) x

[@jordync02]

I have been practicing this song for *months* and I FINALLY got everything but the bridge (but that's because I didn't know the words all the way) Keep practicing bar chords! You'll get there Side note: I could barely play bar chords before this song

[@ellabcdefg]

fuck barring is so hard 😂 thanks for the tutorial ♥️

[@EliseEcklund]

You will get it eventually! I believe in you! And you're welcome!:)

[@ellabcdefg]

Elise Ecklund I finally got it! Woo, my fingers are more stretchy. 😂

[@seamusgr]

GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL ILY

[@analeticia645]

Ok like this is hard to even learn to play, Dodie is a fucking genius to know not only how to play these cords but make her own song out of them. jesus christ I have more respect for her now than I did before.

[@sydd3570]

i loves this tutorial and it was super helpful but the only thing that was like a little off was the way she sang the lyrics just because it wasn’t super accurate

[@aderiancreature8464]

I was looking for this comment! I don't want to be rude but I don't like the way she sings dodie's song. That's just not how it has to be!
