This song has touched my heart for most of my life. I picked up a stringed instrument for the first time this year, at 54 years old and I'm here with tears in my eyes being able to actually play this myself. Thank you!

Not to drag other tutorials, they're great and I appreciate them, but this is the first Ukulele tutorial where I actually understood the strumming and how to make it fit with the melody and when to change chords etc... so thank you so much, this is wonderful.

Thank you so much! I think that I can actually do this if I practice often. My husband and I are thinking of doing this together -- playing the different parts -- with him on the guitar and me on my new ukelele. Soooo, I'll be watching this EVERY day for a month so I can do it well

Lovely interpretation Ben. I think it helps if one has the vocal ability - that you have - to be able to change pitch when singing the father then son verses. Tight trousers for the boys, maybe. One other thing - it's showing B6 instead of D6 on the lyrics you're screening below the chord shapes.

Great tutorial, thank you. For the Am* part, could you just clarify how the extra chord fits in with the strumming pattern please? I think its D - - - D -*D U, putting the extra finger down for the down-up where I've put the asterisk. It sounds about right to by ears anyway.

did you end up making the accompaniment video as well (or would that be the melody video and this is the accompaniment, you know what I mean) This is a great video
