[@lavenderbee3611]

Me too, 59 years old (1st instrument) and it's a struggle but I keep at it. It's taught me a deep appreciation of musicians and performers of any kind. Cynthia is one of the best teachers around.

[@elizabethblackey4587]

Me too! 67 and just learning for the last few months. I'm loving this and Cynthia's tutorials are fantastic. I couldn't do it without her.

[@minificus]

Thank you for posting that, Lori, Maria and Ina! I am 34 and learning to play feeling ashamed like it is too late to learn. But it’s a pleasure to play now.

[@susanloo8915]

Thk u for making this video. I have been watching Ariel’s tutorial for this song but I couldn’t catch up. Your tutorial is so easy to follow. Good Job! U re a great teacher!

[@dimivasiliadis4096]

Thank you, Cynthia, for stepping this so slowly and in small steps, from the beginning to the end. Its not easy!

[@susank6267]

I love love love this strum pattern! It took some practice for me to get the timing right. When I started singing along it took even more practice. I still have not perfected it but it is so fun! Thank you so much!

[@deborahcassell5926]

This is one of the most fun songs I've learned so far. Who knew upchucking could be so satisfying? Cynthia Lin, you're my fave.

[@monaangeloutdoors514]

Great Video! I’ve been stuck in the cold & snow for a week in New Mexico so this lesson was the perfect thing to cheer me up! Awesome ! Thank you 🙃

[@blumoonrisn]

Soooo very excited about this session! Was JUST trying to work out this one for our little 5 yr old granddaughter (she loves it so much!) and was so sad that you’d not done it yet. You are amazing! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🎶🌺

[@RockClass101]

Love your take, amazing vocals! ❤️❤️❤️

[@hello_leah]

Thank you, thank you, Cynthia! I suggested bar chord tips and more advanced strumming patterns, so I feel like this tutorial was speaking directly to me! ❤️ I paid close attention and have been practicing every spare second. Had some breakthroughs and that feels amazing!! Thank you for this!! Love your beautiful, smooth rendition. Oh, also, my kids are in love with this song so thank you for making me seem so cool in their eyes! 😎

I really like and enjoy your videos ! Nico from France ;-)

[@yaweisun3417]

[@TaylorLincoln401]

I’ve been hoping you would do this song! Love your tutorials:)

[@prernasingh8649]

Hey Cynthia, you're such an amazing teacher I want to wish you "Happy Teachers Day" in advance (because I won't remember to do this when it actually comes).

[@muwnproject]

Hi Cynthia, Thank you for this video. 🌈 Nice cover, and great tutorial with the challenging strum pattern. Big thumb up also to Brian on the U-bass,

[@krystlelangkuhs7142]

I always wanted to play this, but was too intimidated until your tutorial. Thanks to you, I already have it mostly down. Thank you so much. You are an incredibly talented teacher.

[@constanceturner871]

Love it!

[@ReginaCenachi]

Adoro seus tutoriais. Sou iniciante no ukulele e seus tutoriais me incentivam muito a continuar. Lindo esse seu ukulele, um dia quero poder comprar um igualzinho!😍

[@jingong6587]

Thank you so much Cynthia. After my recent trip to Hawaii, I determined to learn how to play ukulele. I have zero experience in playing musical instruments. Your tutorials help me a lot. I almost gave up at Day7 because I couldn’t play island strum after watching many tutorials. With your detailed tutorial and practice, I’m able to play chucking with island strum at Day 18. Thank you so much.

[@MaiMai-rw1vh]

The first day, I learned the new chords (Eb, D7) and the strumming pattern Gm (dX) Eb(u). The second day, I learned Eb(uduX) D7 (U -uXu- uXu). 3 days later, I'm humming Havana Thanks 😘You are my best ukulele teacher

[@arc1105]

Thank you for this 3 chord song. Sounds awesome played this way, peaceful and mellow; can hear gentle ocean waves in your singing. You have a very beautiful voice. Thanks for the tutorial and a big Congratulations on your signature Ukulele 🙌🙏Happy day to you both. 👍U-Brian 😎

[@annaguglielmotti6655]

great teacher! i love your tutorials

[@katherineandersen8920]

So incredible helpful to break this down into bite-sized segments! Mahalo nui loa CL ;D

[@MiaHessMusic]

Cynthia if I could this strum, I'd be amazed at myself. Nice tutorial!!!!!

[@jessiekusuma9753]

Hi Cynthia! You're such a great teacher :) thank you for this tutorial!

[@sabinenemec8805]

Great song, great performance! Thank you and a happy new year from Germany!

[@mirabelmatiga8340]

aloha! i've learned a lot from your ukulele tutorial and i love it❤️

[@kanakasurfer5407]

As someone who lives in Hawaii for seven years and as a new ukulele player with an acoustical/electric, I think your teaching methods are focused and perfect in their approach for both beginner and intermediate players. Keep up the great work Cynthia🌴🌈🍊🍍🍌

[@lsclair]

I absolutely love your singing. You are an inspiration!

[@mikehernandez7462]

DEEP, BEAUTIFUL AND RICH. VOICE!

[@rachyroo7586]

Awesome tutorial!!! As always x

[@jorgepena1896]

You teach very kind 🎉

[@lazykitten4356]

you are my favorite uku teacher. Come to NYC :)

[@paulinagutierrez671]

Looove it!!! You explain it so goood!! Thank you 💕

[@cowgirlbarb45]

Cynthia, I love your cover on this! Two things I would wish for: 1) your playing & singing this song as a separate MP3 so I could listen to it a lot as I go about chores - I don’t see it on an album of yours yet; and 2) having the words to HAVANA on the screen as you start putting the words to the chords and strum; I’ve been saying “Down-chuck - up down up-chuck etc” so much through all my practicing that I’m having trouble fitting the words into my playing it! I’m pretty-much a beginner but I can play it ok but not with the words. Thank you! I really love this song!

[@loz6337]

So good! Nailed it!

[@sandralepori442]

Havana is a challenge for me but as we are shut in this is my distraction. A good one I am determined to perfect it.thank you Cynthia.

[@javieralbagarcia1153]

just bought a ukelele for my 4 years old daughter and fall in love with this song. Very easy to learn and get her interest.

[@melaniejominin]

Cynthia you are so wonderful and kind..just want to tell you that .. thank you for this tutorial

[@ralphbarhydt8974]

So very cool and such a beautiful voice.

[@ejuirnthepigeon2914]

Cynthiaa ur so talented >~< thanks for being one of the best uke teachers hehe

[@alysonfordperez7820]

Major coolness! Thank you!

[@flordelinanocomora5832]

Love it

[@elizabethblackey4587]

Cynthia, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial and for the chord chart. I love this song and I'm very new to this so it's a little above my "pay grade" but I'm breaking it down and going slowly as you have taught us. I'll get there and hope to be coordinated enough to play and sing at the same time (also watched your tutorial on that!). Hope to see you and Ukulenny at the SF UkeFestival on July 27.

[@gayahvyent3967]

Nice job!

[@JeffJeno1000]

Gosh Cynthia your voice is silky smooth! 👍👍👍

[@marinelagaleano4042]

[@arminarlert5528]

Finally, another video!

[@jesussanchez-yg2vt]
