FATHER & SON Cat Stevens - Ukulele Tutorial - extended

[@cindykay6857]

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!

[@BensUkeTutes]

Wow well done ! 💙

[@themercats6689]

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.

You have a really beautiful tone when you sing with a mixed voice.

[@faysaljoy6779]

it was done greatly, thanks. I cant believe it got only this much views.

[@Celestialyellow]

It's my 2nd week of learning uke I want to learn this now but it's 1:29am already, I'll come back tomorrow to learn this song. Thanks for your tutorial.

[@lelobest]

Great tutorial. I liked especially how to do Em in an easier way than the usual one and also the riffs you explained it very well

[@PremiumBlendHerbal]

When you showed the G to Em trick with pinky.. My jaw dropped...lol 1.5 years of playing and that never occurred to me! Hahaha Learn something new every day👍

[@Akagami_07]

Really ? Haahhaha

[@sylvietherien8621]

Yes👌

[@jamesprudhomme430]

Just found the link for the pdf file of song sheets. Awesome. Thank you very much.

[@randyj7476]

Where did you find the link? I clicked on the link above but it doesn't take me there.

[@simonthompson4184]

Excellent, very relaxed and calm, great for me as a begginer

[@IanFay-d1v]

Many thanks for an excellent tutorial. I've been asked to sing at an art exhibition in Italy in December I was looking for a suitable third song. This will be perfect.

[@JamieInTransit]

I really enjoyed and this learned how to play one of my favorite Cat Stevens’ songs! Thank you!

[@SeekingTruth2023]

This was uploaded quite a long time ago :) But it still brings joy to people today! Thank you soo much!! Your video is great and tremendously helpful! What a pleasure to watch! All best wishes from Germany!

[@brenocastro7650]

I did get the two characters thing when I first heard this beautiful song. But I'd gladly exchange that for being able to play, sing and teach, all at the same time, like you! Awesome!!! Thank you so much!

[@BensUkeTutes]

haha ! thanks ^^

[@jun7742]

Very clear explanation, thanks for sharing..

[@kathywannabe]

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

[@BensUkeTutes]

haha ! fantastic !

[@valeriamazzamurro9378]

[@michaelbloom2574]

Fantastic. Excellent work.

[@tesscod2561]

Song Exploder on Spotify explains the origins of this song. I wore out the grooves on this record back in the day. Thanks for a wonderful tutorial. Going to play this tomorrow

[@neridawoolley4174]

[@sarahcatacutandayrit]

[@andrewmills509]

Great tutorial Ben I really enjoyed it

[@PR-dd1eu]

just great ! Well explained thanks

[@Gabriela-nd3im]

Amazing tutorial; would love to know the melody!

[@Matchhead79]

Thanks dude, 😊

[@jevariejacob6682]

🎉 Thank you!

[@giomarte4496]

you are the best....

[@morethanwords]

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.

[@edenvargas6167]

Excellent tutorial!!!

[@מירון-ב7ר]

[@willahearn]

Such a great video.

[@jamesprudhomme430]

How can we get the song sheet(pdf file)

[@jani1103]

Great tutorial!

[@acester86]

Very nice

[@briantkiger]

I was struggling with that G to Em switch until you pointed out to just throw my pinkie up there. 😅

[@GoneNightMare]

Very nice! Best ukulele tutorial I have seen! ;) thank you very much for it :D could you please explain the Am* and "the note D" one more time ? XD ?? Is it only played on the last up strum ? :0 ?? Thanks a lot C: Kati

[@paco59520]

bonjour Ben,je débute le ukulélé et j'aurai aimé trouver ce tuto en français,l'as-tu fait?

[@johndavis6668]

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.

[@tofunari3359]

Wait is it D6 or B6??

[@sylvietherien8621]

He plays D6 and B6 dos not work 😉

[@143jeg]

I believe b6 is a typo.

[@DokkodoDokkodo]

❤

[@carloswiedmaierlavin9462]

I cant find the final riff

[@point_of_vini]

I’m looking for too

[@jgoldes]

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

[@Matchhead79]

My index finger is a hurtin

[@vivekbiswas6304]

You look like Billy Bob Thornton from fargo.
