How To Play - Alex's SUS Demo Song #2 (fun ukulele riff in C)

[@leolaniukeulady4172]

Chrome is so lucky he knows you. Who would’ve wanted a different van when you were waiting in the wings to rebuild that van for him. Nice work by the way‼

[@UkesWithAlex]

What on Earth are you on about?

[@ferg492]

Cheers Alex, another great lesson there. Thanks Mate, nice one 👍

[@markusa9878]

Great! Thanks When people ask me to play something, this is what I'll play

[@colinosullivan]

Very nice Alex, very cool to see this mapped out. Very very nice

[@MarcGallagherMusic]

My favourite part about these videos is your voice. You have a soft delivery that I find really calming, it’s something I need to work on in my own tutorial videos :)

[@UkesWithAlex]

Thanks Marc.

[@JiPaul-pf6ye]

Thank you so much. That’s a great gift. I’d like to visit your shop.

[@juliadavies8551]

Excellent as always. Alex I am amazed how you so easily go between playing right hand and left!

[@UkesWithAlex]

I feel bad now but on this video I have actually reversed the images and im playing a left handed uke. 😅

[@jm653]

My new favourite tune to practice. Thanks Alex x

[@ayhamaljuma7627]

I've been waiting for this , thank you so much i love it!!

[@UkuleleGo]

Lovely little tune Alex

[@denisenadeau5243]

so nice alex I really like your store and way of doing things with the ukulele.Stay Happy

[@UkesWithAlex]

Thanks so much!

[@christinegeorgenson9842]

Thanks Alex! I just learned it on my Tiny Tenor. Only just discovered your channel. You are really helping me!

[@UkesWithAlex]

My pleasure

[@Kie77]

This is a lovely melody. Thanks for teaching us all. (Nice to chat to you this afternoon) Kieran

[@sugar_harpandarts]

Love this tune! Thanks for teaching it 😊

[@ericcarmichael]

Thanks for doing this! Fun little way to test ukes in store next time :) Would obviously go to SUS but it’s a long way from LA.

[@UkesWithAlex]

It's all good mate... Just glad I can put a new piece of music in people's repertoire.

[@georgedavis6735]

Thanks for the lesson! My first on a ukulele.

[@UkesWithAlex]

Woo hoo!

[@Eric-xg9nq]

Good evening Alex, Really thank you very much for this tutorial: finally revealed, this little melody that I have often tried to decipher. My Kanilea will be very happy to play it, or rather to replay it again, since you had made a presentation video, and with this very beautiful little melody ... I have to react, now after this so beautiful gift by Southernukulelestore, for my "RC ...... GT Mango" project .... So I will follow your tutorials and why not, a new Patreon account .. Again a huge thank you .. Eric

[@UkesWithAlex]

Thanks Eric - I am delighted your Ukulele is reunited with the song. All the best from Bournemouth my friend!

[@philipbuergi375]

Dear Alex Absolut great Demo-song - just love it to play. I'm still not fast enough to get it sounding like you, after 2 moth owning a Uke ;-)) but it's great fun... Thank you Phil

[@billylin5404]

Thank you for the tutorial, Alex! I also like the way you made your chord diagrams, by the way. They look refreshing.

[@UkesWithAlex]

Thanks... They are lo fi but a deliberate choice to get away from copying other people.

[@MariUSukulele]

nice pronounciation on 'ukulele‘ in the intro @ 0:12 🤙🏻

[@darwinia8]

Thank you for the video. Now that you've taught us your two standard demo video tunes, would you consider sharing the chord progression and perhaps some of the beautiful riffs of your tune Blow This House Down? I had it on repeat on Spotify on a cross-country drive,. It haunted me!! It has a rapturous melody and mournful feeling of lost love that reminds me of Sheryl Crow's Strong Enough, which is high praise indeed. In any event, thanks for sharing. You may not become a billionaire through your work, but know that you're offering beauty to a world which is filled with too much ugliness.

[@UkesWithAlex]

What a lovely comment. I will be doing it in due course- the plan for October is to do a full song tutorial, another SUS demo tutorial and a podcast. Il put blow this house down on a list for November or December. Forgive me but it's a lot of effort for a tutorial only half a dozen people want to learn at this point in time. Your kind words and enthusiasm are really appreciated.

[@darwinia8]

@@UkesWithAlex Not to worry! I appreciate the hard work.

[@strappaplank6017]

beautiful tune Alex, I hope you have added some lyrics to it and truly made it your own

[@rodneyvincents.ramirez7405]

Wow

[@Dan-uk3rv]

Top notch. A great way to hear a particular ukulele sing. Any tips to help the hammer-ons sustain? Mine fade like a candle in a hurricane....

[@UkesWithAlex]

Sadly practice makes perfect and a willingness to really 'hammer on' those hammer ons i Even if it hurts your finger tips a bit is the best advice I can give you. Best of luck

[@leolaniukeulady4172]

Apparently the comments aren’t matched to the video. 🤷‍♀

[@thurgogopro5338]

Lovelt tune Alex its great to listen to you teach.Took me about an hour to vaguely master part 1. Part 2 next. Promise I won't become famous either. Bob

[@slq3263]

Alex,do you have tabs on your patreon page?

[@UkesWithAlex]

The patreon no longer gets updated but the archive has all the tabs from the channel including this one.

[@mountfairweather]

The song!

[@cristinasilveiro6981]

Lovely mellow tune. What uke are you playing?

[@UkesWithAlex]

A Kanile'a Manako.

[@johnberger7039]

I thought you were left-handed.

[@UkesWithAlex]

I reverse the video for tutorials.

[@johnberger7039]

Ukes With Alex but I’ve seen you play in the same clip with you’re partner and he’s playing right and you left or you have a cutaway upside down. I’m left and it’s good to see other southpaws. Then for the first time last night I saw your video and you were playing right. I found it impressive because it wasn’t upside down,so I thought you were ambidextrous!👏👏
