Five Awesome Ukulele Riffs Too Good Not To Learn

[@Jaikanatar]

As a guitarist picking up a ukulele, I found it quite funny how similar all of these patterns and techniques are to what I naturally began playing on uke, as a guitarist lol

[@thereselangille4695]

I most prefer the second riff with the palm muting technique in addition to the percussive thumb slap! This is such a great combo of 2 different skills as an intro to an awesome song. You are an amazing teacher; I would love to hear you play the whole song!

[@GeekandUke]

I absolutely love the bluesy riff. Sounds so cool!

[@McMarc_1993]

Absolutely in love with your channel and simple, on point tutorials. I've added a lot of your stuff to my daily routine and its just so much fun to play. Thanks, Marco!

[@greghubbard-m1l]

Man... your ability to play the ukes are fantastic!

[@rond227]

I love these. They sound so good. I love your videos

[@TheLecieyek]

Omg you're my favourite person on KZbin now! Thank you 😊

[@MC-zr7hl]

Great way to help people practice specific techniques!

[@StevenDoyleLuke]

Love Italy, danced Argentine Tango with my wife at the Piazza Navona in Rome . . . . (tough on the cobble stones) but fun!

[@3333face]

I’ll say it again,you are the best teacher,I love everything you do my use brother

[@juliedoyle142]

Thank you, once again, for the excellent lesson. Love the happy hammer 😊

[@Bob-gn8ph]

❤ same here that was my favorite😊❤

[@andyhowe1302]

Love how you play and teach makes me want to come to Italy as well

[@ssvegeta9386]

I love your playing style and your videos. I try and learn and incorporate your lessons into the little Hawaiian Ukulele band I'm in. I especially loved your Hawaiian riff in this video, going to focus on it first for sure!

[@rewindbekind9412]

The Hawaiian slide is my favorite plus it's the easiest out of all of them. 😅

[@danreyes4640]

Hello Marco. Of the 5 riffs I like the Hawaiian best & 2nd. The percussion.

[@thebrutaltooth1506]

I like the way you teach.It`s 7 months later after your post and it`s Saturday. 22 degrees on the 24 of February in Romania. Just gonna practice teh haowayan slide a couple of more times and goin gout again. Gelato anyone? Glory to Ukarine!

[@karlpearson5181]

I love the percussive palm mute riff very easy and fun to play thank you sir.

[@ukulelebutterfly]

Excellent, Excellent Lesson Marco! I appreciate the total breakdown. It's really hard to pick a favorite. I love them ALL. Thanks for sharing your time and dedication for the love of beautiful music! ~Mary 🦋

[@Rabauke2.0]

Hi Marco, thank you very much for this lesson. As I am beginning to learn to play the Ukulele, it helps me improve my technique. The only thing I would like to ask you is if you could have a better angle on the right hand to see which fingers are picking the strings. It is very difficult to see that. That would be very good. Thanks again.

[@ashleyrose210]

This is an excitingly helpful video. I’m looking forward to becoming familiar with these techniques. I love your tips and tutorial videos keep em coming. They are quite helpful on my quest to familiarize myself with the strings. Keep doing what you do! You play beautifully.

[@AshfaqUkulele]

Loved the last two riffs the most!

[@kpharrington]

Thanks!

[@hanssolo27]

Nice riffs. It's easier for me to see the tabs than to hear where to put my fingers when I follow. It's just me. Thanks for sharing!

[@Luna-nq4km]

Just wanted to say thank you for making such fun and creative content !! 😊

[@kerricorser4562]

I can't wait to practice these, thank you! ❤

[@puggywoogy2310]

All of them are so bright and each one having different flavour to it.. enjoy sunny Italian beautiful summer 🌻🌞… much love to junior hope he is growing beautifully🤍

[@leofernandez037]

All are wonderful riffs but I especially like the Mysterious Octaves!

[@ganjajohn5748]

Hawaiian slide was my fave!!

[@snumbers1]

[@esthert6416]

[@veraschaumburg9206]

Thank you for your teaching and way of teaching. Seems so clear and easy. Kind regards, Vera

[@DEMIFRIEND256]

Nice timing

[@LegendaryHeroponRiki]

thanks needed these for my apology video

[@jojoviviator9258]

Love your teaching style. Learned a lot from you already. Would love a video with an emphasis on combining melody and chords. Keep the Ukulele high!

[@maxt6790]

Thanks a lot Marco, your sharing are all I love on ukulele: awesome melody and riffs... Thanks to you I also started ukulele lesson with a local teacher and at my first audition I played... The Beautiful Spanish Melody 😁

[@deppo_shorts]

Hawaian slide is soo good thanks man

[@conservativeinexile8474]

Just telling us which string which fret as you play makes all the difference for me. You are easy to follow which makes it easier to learn. Sincere thanks. btw, I downloaded and subscribed

[@GurusevanandaDas]

Grazie mille, from Brazil!

[@gregcabrera4000]

I really really appreciate your help and time. Your way of teaching is very good and easy to follow. Once again I thank you for your time and your one of the "best" teacher I've ever ever come across. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you Mr. Marco Cerillo...

[@brycejohnstone2984]

Bro picked up a uke last week, such a diff from guitar, easier but not lol...love your vids man

[@shawnrivera3557]

Whats the difference between a tenor and super tenor ukelele?

[@MyRcGoSlow]

U make it look easy bro ❤

[@piperofsimms]

These are sweet ! Thank you..

[@pinksss1306]

10-12 8-10 7-8 5-7 3-5 2-3

[@99hank97]

For the percussive thumb you can also end on 4th string 2 then 0, sounds exactly the same

[@littlesigh]

Those first 6 notes in the "Percussive Thumb" sound like the intro to I Got Sunshine-Temptations....lol

[@angierae403]

Lovvvve!

[@BedtimeAnytimeStories]

Beautiful!

[@ronwillits5937]

These are too good :)

[@StevenRogers72]

Could you do a video on a smaller ukulele opposed to the larger parlor size you're playing. Great tutorial, however the fret board size on a traditionally smaller uke is not like playing the elongated one that your playing.

[@anitajohannadrost]

👍😁🥰🍀thank you.

[@Jeronimo365]

Hi Marco, are all super tenor ukuleles tuned in low G as standard or would I need to get it set up for a thicker, low G string? 🙏

[@JasonPangDotCom]

Was wondering about that too. Trying to play the second riff and realized his G is low.

[@heidirobertson2262]

I bought a low g string for my tenor ukulele and just switched it out with the high g string - pretty Simple!

[@Jeronimo365]

@@heidirobertson2262 Thanks Heidi. 👍🙏😎

[@Bob-gn8ph]

# 4 ❤awesome ❤thanks ❤John 3,16 ❤

[@g4mernick4]

It would be really great if you put a version of the tab up to screen shot.

[@KL-kx1pl]

10 to 12 8 to 10 7 to 8 5 to 7 3 to 5

[@bryansonnier4208]

what is this ukulele?

[@Heather89Anne]

Marco, So how do you know which songs to match these riffs with?

[@lorivanbuuren3406]

I really appreciate your videos, Marco. I think I like the Hawaiian slide the best, they were all great, I will probably give all a try. You mentioned the key for the first two, could you please mention the others🙏

[@Enjoy2Ride250]

HEY! what strings are those i just built a mini flying v ukelele for fun but i got the high g on the top. I want that bass string on the instead of annoying high g

[@MC-zr7hl]

Whats that c7 chord at the end of the 3rd one? I cant figure out which frets hes playing and it doesnt look like it matches any diagrams for c7

[@JavierRamirez-hi1oi]

what kind of ukulele do you use? thank you thanks

[@937Stig]

It just doesn't sound as good when i play them 😅

[@hanktolley753]

It never do buddy

[@theriverlowlife]

The tuning he has is not standard I don’t think. It may be low g

[@KingWilly31]

Just awesome 🙏🏻 thank you for giving us that Magic

[@camdix3250]

Thank you for this wonderful video. Can someone please help me with a question. Is this a Tenor ukulele he is playing? I"m just starting to learn about the ukulele. Many thanks to anyone who can answer this.

[@Bob-gn8ph]

❤ yes I think he called it a super t e n o r

[@juliel7522]

Love ur videos. Do u think u could do a tab/cover/tutorial for george michael's 'jesus to a child'? Its a beautiful song and quite in the style of ur playing ( i immediately thought of u as there's no real tabs available for it on the uke)

[@penelopeallan6495]

Please do mad about you sting on baritone 😢

[@IanJones942]

is it possible to get tabs for these?

[@rasmars]

Just print out some empty tab sheets and jot down what the dude is saying! Try also to develop your hearing mate ❤

[@MD-ws1dg]

Hey Marco, just curious what string set you're using on your Kala super tenor right now?

[@kiddo2080]

Delayed but tabs?

[@noisyb4509]

it would be amazing if you could try and do a tutorial video on string quintet No.6, in C major, Op.30, "la musica notturna delle strade di Madrid" by Luigi Boccherini from the movie: 'master and commander' its one of my favourites and i think if it worked it could sound amazing on ukilele 👍

[@claudegenereux]

#2.

[@carsonlove531]

Am I the only one who has a hard time without there being some kind of a visual or more repetition of the riffs? I don’t wanna keep going back and rewinding 😂 Also weirdly picky, but I also get so confused when people say 1st string, 2nd string, etc rather than A string, E string. That might just be a me thing

[@Yesiam-n9w]

Better u would give tabs

[@rehamkcirtap]

Ben E. King is smiling

[@Cortney-Mckay]

Grazie mille, from Brazil!
