[@l1zbee]

not trying to compare you with other youtubers or anything, but is your tutorial sequence (format or whatever you call it xD) a bit inspired from The Ukulele Teacher's videos? i just noticed that, and no worries if it did come from him. just really cool to know if it did :) great tutorial btw!

[@helloabbylyons]

lol yeah I watch him quite a bit so I formatted a bit of the sequence after him :D Also I think there are just some things that are common between a lot of different uke tutorials, that just make sense to show. :) I'm glad you liked the tutorial, hopefully it was helpful!! ^_^

[@selmah.f.4634]

You just got a new subscriber!

[@helloabbylyons]

Selma Hussami Finvold aw thank you so much!! 😊❤️

[@alykgray]

[@annebutnotreally2209]

this was very helpful, my fingers on my left hand now hurt though XD

[@helloabbylyons]

I'm glad it was so helpful!! Aww, keep your fingers relaxed as best you can :D Good luck!!! ^_^

[@beeyangkah1934]

if you haven't yet, please make a full cover for this💖✨😍😍

[@AGLover4ever106]

is there a chord sheet anywhere i could look at? tutorial was really helpful just find it easier to look at something once i've learns chords +strumming pattern. loved the tutorial though!

[@helloabbylyons]

That's a really good idea! I'll see if I can get one together tonight or tomorrow and I'll let you know where you can find it! And yay, thank you, I'm glad you liked the tutorial! 😊

[@AGLover4ever106]

Abby Lyons Thanks! that would be awesome. and yeah you seem really nice 💞subscribed :)

[@helloabbylyons]

Ella Paige aww you're so nice! Thank youuu! :D

[@helloabbylyons]

Hey Ella, here's the link, which I'm also including in the video description: www.abbylyonsmusic.com/inthemiddledodie Happy learning! Thanks for bringing up the chord sheet, I think it helps a lot! ^_^

[@AGLover4ever106]

Abby Lyons Thank you so much! This is really helpful

[@rebbekasmith2363]

you should do a cover

[@farzanarowena]

yeyeye do a cover

[@steal_th1s_album]

gERARD WAY

[@fenna4032]

Holy shit you're amazing

[@helloabbylyons]

Omigosh thank you!! :D

[@lanabanana697]

I don’t know why but I’m struggling with the C part on the chorus. Is it the same strumming pattern as the G and F? Agh my brain please help💛

[@majakobylinska6415]

Hakuna Matata same im struggling aswell

[@kingoftrite]

Very good tutorial. Thanks! I just got an uke, this was helpful. Is that a soprano uke you have?

[@helloabbylyons]

Aw, I'm glad it was helpful! Yes, it's a soprano! Is that what you have too? :)

[@kingoftrite]

Yes, that's why I asked. I understand the bigger uke (whatever that's called) is tuned like the top four strings of a guitar. So just wanted to be sure.

[@helloabbylyons]

Oh yeah! There's a few ukes - soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone! The big one is the baritone and it's tuned differently. The rest are tuned the same, though sometimes the tenor will have a low G :) Good luck with your new uke!!

[@mr.non-existent8137]

You kinda look like Dodie yourself! Great tutorial!

[@helloabbylyons]

Calvin Ryndell lol aw thanks so much!! 😍 She's so pretty! Glad you liked the tutorial! ❤️

[@biancaaranzanso1529]

your voice is nice

[@helloabbylyons]

thank you very much! ^^

[@Daft_Ideas]

i don't really play ukelele but the Bb and F chords sound out of place...I love this track having only just found it...these are how I play it..it's a bit jazzier I think...bottom string is always open. I don't know the chord names...I just play what sounds good to me...and is easy! 0232 Do you have his 0233 number, or 0033 should I be the one to call I 0031 haven't seen him 0030 much at all 0232 You say you're 0030 into closure 0232 Shake hands like 0030 You're supposed to 0333 I'll be in the middle while 0033 while you two get a- 0030 long No criticism intended...just a different option!

[@helloabbylyons]

I just played thru your version and it's really fun! I like the variation on the harmonies, they're similar but with a little added interest! Thanks for sharing!! 😊🤗

[@Daft_Ideas]

@@helloabbylyons Thanks! I tend to play a faster strum too...slow, single down strum to start, but on the chorus I switch to D-D-D-UDUD...or rather, I try...I have a neurological problem that makes faster strumming a challenge...another reason why you won't see any video of me playing...that and the fact that your voice is way better than mine!

[@shelleylin7050]

ur voice is omg i cant even explain it! its supercallifraguisexpiallidocias which means the best thing ive ever heard not from taylor swift

[@helloabbylyons]

lol omg thank you and I really appreciate that definition of supercalifrag, etc 😆 oooo actually you're not the first person to ask for that tutorial so I should maybe really do that. I think I will.... Hehe I'll let you know!! 😉❤️

[@prestonmartinez2432]

Didn't she write the song on one string tho????

[@helloabbylyons]

Yes, I think you're right! This ukulele with strummed chords style is so popular though that I figured people would be interested in it too :)

[@prestonmartinez2432]

Abby Lyons cool, but do you know of any tutorials of it on the single chord, or do you think you might be able to make one by any chance

[@helloabbylyons]

Hey Preston, I haven't seen any other tutorials on the single note yet, and I wasn't really planning on making one... do you read tab? Maybe I could figure out part of it and send it to you

[@prestonmartinez2432]

Abby Lyons that would be really helpful but only if you want to don't feel obligated to do it, but if you decide to please send it to [e-mail]

[@helloabbylyons]

I'll see what I can do :)

[@christinea878]

Your intro is like the ukulele teacher 😐💫

[@helloabbylyons]

Christine A yeahhhhh this was like my first tutorial video so I was a little nervous about being myself haha..... Oops

[@kooraine]

[@twicetism]

Okay so I saw this video, and clicked it, and I actually have a friend named Abby Lyons :')

[@twicetism]

And this is actually really helpful and your voice is beautiful

[@helloabbylyons]

Awww!! That's so cool!!! We Abby Lyons's are a friendly bunch ;D I'm glad the vid was helpful!! ^-^

[@hopeladymon1771]

Do you have any tips for singing and playing at the same time? Because I friggen s u c k

[@helloabbylyons]

lol awwww! well maybe the best tip is to practice the singing + ukulele separately, then when you first sing with the uke, just do one strum on each chord. then when you're ready, play the strum pattern with the singing slowly, and eventually work the tempo up faster. :) singing + playing at the same time takes some getting used to, so also remember that it takes time! ^_^ I hope that helps a little bit!

[@harrietdawe9065]
