I'm Yours (Jason Mraz) - Ukulele Tutorial

[@griffeyjrfan]

Your enthusiasm is infectious! I'm a total newbie to the ukulele and your videos make me very excited to continue practicing. Thank you!

[@KingLionTearingBlast]

am I the only one that was like I can do the hard version then see the chords and go to the easy version

[@ashleighbennett2823]

KingLionTearingBlast haha same

[@KatieSimmonspachirii]

+KingLionTearingBlast lmao me too

[@ruchi7673]

um no ... I was built for the hard parts

[@MJohnson222]

......yep

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Hi, it's actually a brand new concert uke - it's a bit bigger than a soprano uke and a bit smaller than a tenor. However, it's still tuned exactly the same as a soprano, so the same chords apply. I've just made the switch because it's a bit bigger, so hopefully it's a bit easier to see on the videos!

[@RayjynRedneck]

Literally my first hour of having a ukulele ( got it from the UPS guy about 20 minutes ago) and I can already play this! Thank you for making these tutorials, and making them easy for the new people (like myself) to understand!

[@claartjemuller6202]

+David ‘Ghost Rider’ Blayde Hahaha same here, right now!!

[@bennygeniv]

I don't have a uke yet but I'm getting one next Wednesday but in the meantime I actually tuned my guitar which is missing two strings to be a ukulele and it works great and I've been learning all your tutorials

[@TheKackyDrawers]

Ive been playing about 2 months, learned just about everything from you tube, but your videos are by far the BEST for instruction, Ive learned soo much in a veryshort time, cheers mate, Karen

[@---qj1kz]

i don't even have a ukelele i have school tomorrow what the heck am i doing here

[@mandimoosie6986]

Same it's 10 at night I have school and I don't own a uke 😂😅

[@---qj1kz]

+Hafsa Asad k, now i do so never mind XD

[@mandimoosie6986]

im getting a uke on my birthday which is all the way in September... hey atleast im getting one :)

[@niilsaa]

I own a uke and I'm strumming and it's 3am on Wednesday and people are telling me to shut up.

[@legobatman2440]

REALLY?

[@GobIinz]

I decided to pull out my uke to learn, i tuned it with my laptop, searched some videos dont didnt really help me until i found yours, now its just sooo fun learning to play songs man, thank youuuuuu. Subscribed!

[@colleendoyle5535]

[@devilxangelarts8105]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@oliverline4996]

Thanks! I have been trying to find ukulele lessons on youtube for ages and I have finally found someone who can actually teach me!

[@atxking27]

I've recently moved to Hawaii, and I've made it a goal of mine to learn to play the Ukulele. I just bought one today and am glad I've stumbled upon your videos.

[@heybosskon]

Thanks for the video! me and my dad had a blast learning the strums and song. :) thanks a lot Uke Teacher!

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

+Coffee Tiger Very cool to hear, thanks! :)

[@jaredeccles6196]

Awesome! I have been play the ukulele for just one week and can now play this song. Many thanks, outstanding teaching.

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Awesome, there's no better feeling than finally being able to play a song for the first time! Keep it up 😃

[@beamilan6175]

C G Am F Strumming: D, D-U, D, D-U Lol try this. It'd be so much easier

[@yunomong]

Somewhere over the rainbow is almost the same. It's just C Em Am F, C G Am F, C G Am F Strumming: D, D-U, D-U-D-U-D-U-DU Ez pz!

[@cynthiai2660]

Bea Milan god bless, chords and strumming too? can we be friends

[@jennakeith5711]

Bea Milan thanks!

[@kovacslilien7333]

oh my god thank you so much. You helped me out so much

[@angelilachica5231]

I do D-D-U, U-D-U twice and then switch cord

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Thanks for the kind words - I'll add it to the list, but is it really a uke-friendly song?!

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Yup that sounds right to me - I switched to a concert just because it was a little louder for these vids. Also it has a pick-up for when I want to rock out!

[@Caapi_Vine]

Lol I like your humor. And great tutorials. Ive only played guitar, this is my first day on the uke and ive already learned so many songs thanks to your vids

[@KalaniMusic]

The strumming pattern that is shown does not match what is played, which is 1 (2)+ (3)+ 4. [Don't play what's inside the ( ).] Ignore the graphic and play what he plays.

[@jahu198]

I can't tell what he plays. I'm a beginner and this is too fast. Could you break it down, please? =)

[@JeffreyThomas]

He is not much for details. Please visit my channel for proper direction and notation.

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Never heard of this before, but just watched a bit on KZbin, it's lovely! Not sure I can make a video on it, but if I get a chance I'll look into the chords for you...

[@awesomesauce774]

will you teach me how to play"how to save a life" by the fray please

[@MegaAbcda]

I second this

[@DinaRedRoses]

Vc é muito bom!! Eu tinha muita dificuldade em batida e esse metodo ajudou muito! Obrigada! You're soo good!! I has very difficulty in beat and this method help me so much! Thank's =)

[@bripez]

How to cheat on the harder version: put a capo on the first fret and the for the F# you just play an F and for the G#min you just play G Minor.

[@bripez]

+DiamondPiggyPlays im just a genius uke hacker 😂

[@bripez]

+Darth Vader just trying to help beginners. Plus, i can play the chords without the capo but its just easier to use a capo so i thought i'd let others know

[@bripez]

+Darth Vader 1. Calm the fuck down. 2. Im not telling anyone to use it. Its their choice, i just decided to put it out there.

[@kaylat7063]

+Darth Vader lmao

[@paulvilleneuve1189]

thats not cheating lol using a capo is completely normal , he should've mentionned it in the video .it will also sound much better with a capo

[@andreasbakke5867]

Just a friendly tip to those who struggle with the strumming pattern. Down-up-DOWN (harder)- up works great aswell

[@_amritpannu_]

Thanks :)

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

I chuck by blocking all the strings with my left hand (i.e. pressing down on them, but not hard enough to produce a note) and strumming. But there may be other/better ways...

[@HotK0ffee]

You are by far the best teacher I have found so far and I have been scouring the internet for days and days! Thank you so much for making these videos!! PS I never EVER leave comments but I think you deserve to know they are that helpful!!!

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

It's on the list - any in particular?

[@lramosphotography]

Also could you make an easy ukulele tutorial of Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes? Please? It's my favorite song and I think it would sound gorgeous on the ukulele.

[@lisjae]

PLEASE DO "BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP" PLEASE PLEASE

[@ashleighbennett2823]

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

I just did "Our Song" by Taylor Swift the other day - is that close enough?!

[@lindawisebear]

i didn't know how to chuck properly either, so i searched it up on youtube this guy is pretty good - its actually a lot more simple then you'd think! the video i watched is called : how to chuck on a ukelele (palm mute) :)

[@rebeccachizzola4445]

hi! firstly i want to say thank you so much your videos are helping me loads and you're a great teacher! secondly, i'd really love it if you could do a lesson on how to play "gang of rythm" by walk off the earth on the uke! that would be amazing!!

[@DonMinnows]

You are awesome and very helpful. I just started last week playing the uke and I am glad you are breaking it down for me so I won't get frustrated :)

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Just done Fix You - is that close enough?!

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

I have - just added the link to the video description!

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Love you too!

[@tainihunt-king6827]

[@bakarijankone]

Just got my ukulele yesterday, and your videos are very helpful. Thank you!!!!

[@kekoadventures1962]

[@eisdt]

Hey uke teach - for both your difficult and easy versions could you demonstrate/teach the song intro with those suble slide movements; I think that is an important part that makes this song, besides, it sounds and looks cool. I'll watch for your video on it - hoping you take the time - Great vids - Thanks

[@Cosme422]

Thank you for teaching the finger positions and chords!

[@meredithgraves6442]

You helped me so much! THANK YOU!

[@onedirectionemely]

[@Stellar650]

I like your channel and your accent too! You're very good teacher. Congratulations.

[@natashasetubal3956]

I'm really struggling to grasp the chuck on the E chord as it's playing the bar but only using 3 strings ? Anyone have any tips or finding the same issue ? Awesome video. Easy to follow, fun to learn from - can see you work hard on all of your videos. Just became a patreon, love your work 😁👍

[@abigailregan4118]

[@deliawahby629]

Hi, I want to say I love your channel. I am on it all the time! I was thinking about a song that I want to learn on the uke. Can you do a tutorial for the song 5 years time by Noah and The Whale?

[@IAmDoneBelieving]

You are amazing man!! 💖💖💖

[@outsideboxer1448]

[@jessb6197]

Thank you; This was really helpful!

[@ben_clyde]

[@jadebond7056]

Can you please do falling slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova!!

[@floosfisch]

Could you please please learn us: "Family of the year - Hero"? It would be super fantastic!! THANKS!!

[@sl-st8mv]

Thank u so much！！！！！！u taught well！！！！！hope to see more tutorials from u！！！！

[@JanayElizabeth]

I just started playing the ukulele so of course I needed the beginner version. Clicking on the dunce made me feel a little bad... coincidentally, it also made me fall immediately in love with you and click subscribe XD

[@carennawillmont3706]

Can you show which finger you use for the strums and how to do the chuck?

[@MadDoggMo]

AT 4:12, the fingering camera in the upper left. You show the transition to F# but then when you are talking about making the shift, you also show the transition to G#m, which hasn't been explained yet. You might want to edit that.

[@catalinawinemixer]

This helped me so much! Now I can play it around the camp fire when I'm camping!

[@ruchi7673]

If you are having trouble with the chucking, you can easily just do D, D-U, U-D-U instead, for the strumming pattern. It won't sound as good, but you'll see that it blends in with the chucking. Meaning, the no chucking and chucking strumming patterns sound pretty similar.

[@rubyhan6058]

I would like to learn Sea of love please. Thank you so much.

[@ametorres]

Can you do one for You and I by Ingrid Michaelson, if you haven't already? I really liked this one
