[@sandralepori442]

I am a 75 yr old grandmother I just traded in my guitar for a ukulele.. I wish I had done it years ago. I love your tutorials. Three of my grands are getting ukuleles for Christmas and of course I am getting them started with your tutorials. What a joy you are..thanks.

[@teaganmanley9275]

Hi granny!

Im a dad of an8 year old boy who wanted to play the ukulele . I am musically challenged so I put him through lessons but have been watching and following along with you. It is now a father son competition to see who can lean more and fastest. I’m holding my own thanks to you. thank you for your help.

[@susanback7403]

Thank you Cynthia. I'm an 82 year grandmother from Canada. Love your tutorials. I sent my granddaughter in Australia a Ukulele and introduced her to you. I sent her this tutorial as well and hope to play it together with her this Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and yours. You are a ray of Sunshine!!

[@moayous]

i hope you did this!

[@patfoley4888]

Well hi other grandmas I'm 78 and just starting the UK myself videos are so great I can't believe how much I have learned in such a short time to be able to play along with her it's so much fun I bought this ukulele for my granddaughter she's only five so I'm learning it first so I can show her keep up the good work Grammys😊

[@gabyflores9412]

I know its gonna sound really cheesy but when ever i play along with your videos i really do feel like you are happy im making progress which makes learning really fun and personally fulfilling

[@DanialJaafar]

i thought i was the only one feeling that way! Hahaha

[@donnadaffy]

Hi Cynthia, i got my uke for my birthday in October, I'm 57 and dyslexic i'v never been able to learn an instrument, but for some reason i'm doing great learning the uke with your help. thank you so much for making this easy, fun and able to join in with the fun so early into learning to play. i thought i'd just be on the sidelines watching the big kids play lol. by the way when i played silver bells today i nearly cried, such an emotional song, and being able to play along was a very moving moment for me thank you xxx

[@mariannabravo3667]

Who knew songs like this would have such simple chord progressions

[@RitaBonita49]

Indeed, RIP GM. Nice to learn this song in his memory.

Song: Last Christmas Singer: Wham Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away) This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special (Special) Once bitten and twice shyed I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Tell me baby do you recognize me? Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me (Merry Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying 'I love you' I meant it Now I know what a fool I've been But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away) This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special (Special) Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special (Special) A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man undercover but you tore him apart Maybe next year I'll give it to someone I'll give it to someone special (Special) Someone Someone I'll give it to someone I'll give it to someone special Who'll give me something in return (I'll give it to someone) Hold my heart and watch it burn (I'll give it to someone) (I'll give it to someone) (I'll give it to someone special) I thought you were here to stay How can you love me for a day? I thought you were someone special Gave you my heart (I'll give it to someone) (I'll give it to someone) Last Christmas I gave you my heart You gave it away (I'll give it to someone) (I'll give it to someone)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance But you still catch my eye Tell me, baby Do you recognize me?

I guess I was a shoulder to cry on A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover but you tore me apart Now, I've found a real love you'll never fool me again Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover but you tore him apart Maybe next year I'll give it to someone I'll give it to someone special Traducir al español

I am a senior who played sax in high school, year of piano ($1,000 keyboard) as adult and recently bought a small Martin guitar ($300), then a Sparrow harp ($800). Also have a harmonica and mini sax. None can I play well and tire easily. Oh how I want to accompany myself and sing as you do. Bought a concert Donner ($60) from Amazon and am finally having genuine success learning with your videos.

I think your voice would be perfect for this and your expression and soul is also so beautiful, could you give it a try do you think? please? I'll buy more merch. . .
