Straight up. I've been fiddling around with this thing a few days. Had one years ago that I gave up on. Decided I was old and stubborn enough to do it like a kid and basically make a chord/strum drilling lesson plan... then I stumble across this while I'm smoking... I could cry. Thank you for simplifying it, going at a casual enough pace and providing enough foresight on screen to look and think ahead whole keeping rhythm. Could cry right now.

Oh yea!!! Much mahalo for these kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it! But don’t cry! Learn some more! 😃

Today is Feb. 14, 2023. I watched a lot of tutorials but I’ve just seen yours and it’s really easy . I really tried to know how to strum the chunky style but I still don’t know how to do it. When I saw the 3 movement technique. That’s how I knew how to strum the chunky style. It’s really really easy. You’re right. Thank you for teaching us your technique being a very honest tutor.

[@Shawe759]

And your voice is beautiful too, and you’re so humble. Thanks a lot.

[@Shawe759]

One more thing. Can you please write the chord in yellow or other color? So we could it better? The red is not that visible to me because my eyesight were not that good anymore.

[@JJMilare]

@@Shawe759 I am so glad you were able to learn it with this easy style! And it helped you chunk too! Very awesome! Much mahalo for your kind words! Ok I will try to change it to another color.

[@AliciaBrownSugar]

OMG!!! Ok, so I've been struggling with chords on the guitar as I've never really done them much, just finger picking, but a coworker said the ukulele was easier. I got it tuned up and this is the first song I've ever played fully through on either the guitar or the ukulele!!! And I've had the guitar for years!!! And I just bought the ukulele and here I am day 2 and I know 4 chords already and kept up with your play along even with the hard part where it was 2 tap strums then switch!!! Like, actually playing along as you sing!!! And I kept up!!! I've never done chords before!!! I always avoided songs with chords because they were too hard on the guitar!!! Day 1 and I was reliably getting my fingers in the right spot, and day 2, I'm here doing the whole song! Thanks man!!! I'm gonna look and see if you have more, especially if you have the whole entire song. I like that you have it on the screen and you also tell what's up next. I'm not even looking at my fingers as much now except the G6 and I don't have to keep looking at how to form those 4 chords since I remember. I'm so proud of myself thanks to you!!! Oh, and EZ because you made it easy!!! THANKS!!! 🎉❤ 🎶 🎸 🎵 🪕 🎼❤ 🎉

[@JJMilare]

What?!? Day 2!!!!!!! Yaaaaahhhhhhh! That’s so amazing foreal! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Now that you got those four chords and that strumming pattern down, you can play more than 20 songs! Promise!

[@AliciaBrownSugar]

@@JJMilare lol, maybe. First I want to get down strumming while singing. And before that, I need to learn the song well enough that I don't need to look at the lyrics or listen to you to hear the tune, lol. I have heard the song here and there in passing, but since I got a ukulele, I decided this was gonna be the first song I learned 😆. Sometimes I have it then I do 5 instead of 4 and mess it all up or I stumble over the lyrics. I don't usually sing and play anything, so that's a whole new thing I'm training myself to do. Especially hard since I'm looking at both the lyrics AND the chords to play at the same time now. I would probably be further along if I did this every day. I just picked it back up today again and decided to add singing to the strumming. Also been messing up my F chord while singing because I'm playing in the dark and not always judging the distance well enough for the tabs... and... you know... adding the singing to it, lol. But I can totally play along with you no mistakes and I made it through the song with... occasional errors while playing and singing in the dark with only my phone to light up the room.

[@JJMilare]

@@AliciaBrownSugar oh yeah! Singing and playing is another hurdle too! But as I always say, practice makes permanent! 😀. It will definitely take time and the more you do it will get easier. Sometimes I do stumble with my lyrics, timing, and strumming when I learn a new song. When I'm trying to learn a song, no rule of thumb is if I can play it 7 times without mistakes, then I got it!

[@DingAling88]

Its so hard for me to sing while playing the uke😢

[@JJMilare]

I'm so glad that you were able to understand the strumming! I know it can be a little rough some times! But I'm glad that this video helped!

[@brooklynnn13]

Thank you for this! It makes it easier for me to have someone teaching me instead of just visually learning:) Keep up the good work!

@@brooklynnn13 you're very welcome! I'm glad that this ukulele teaching helped you a lot!

Loved it❤ so ez

Love the way you show, enjoying my chords

[@JJMilare]

Yay! Mahalo for coming and learning here!

[@laurellee9999]

This is a great tutorial. The strum is a challenge. I’ll keep working on it. Thank you

[@JJMilare]

@@laurellee9999 you're welcome! Keep practicing the strum! Maybe you can try to do a random chord while doing the strum, then when you feel ready, switch the chord, then switch the chord again when you are ready in the same practice session. Hopefully this will allow you to anticipate switching chords whole strumming at your own timing :)

[@dapan_notes1276]

Is there a way I can print the music? This is the easiest tutorial and it helps me to have it all on paper

Yes I think so. Are you able to access the link of the pdf in the description?
