Lava - EASY Ukulele Tutorial with Play Along

[@mperk1611]

I’m visiting Hawaii for the holidays. I secretly bought a ukulele and started learning how to play. I wanted to surprise my girlfriend. I learned this song with your help, and I asked her to marry me after I played it. She said yes!! Your channel basically taught me everything I know. Thank you so much!

[@rosemarysutherland2435]

Wow I cant believe you can catch all this information, nicely done!?

[@Phixius]

So many things about this tutorial that make it better than every other tutorial for any song I've seen so far. For example, she names the strings and fingers instead of numbering them, so we beginners don't have to try keeping track of finger number, fret number, and string number. Then she not only shows us how to finger the chords, she explains a simple method to transition from one to another.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Hi Everyone! I had uploaded this one earlier and I realized the the strumming pattern wasn't showing up correctly. Instead of leaving it, I had to make it right and re-upload it to make sure anyone else that wanted to learn this one would get the correct version. I love you all ... or should I say I lava you all!

[@rafaeladealmeida4905]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I am an absolute beginner, and I bought a ukulele for my boyfriend as a birthday gift (he never played ukulele, but he plays the cello and guitar), so now while he is not home I am practicing this song in secret for an extra surprise! I am focusing only on the chorus because it's still too much for me to learn, but I am having lots of fun! I have been watching many of your videos and they have been super helpful (specially for choosing and buying the ukulele). Keep up the great work! Greetings from Portugal!

[@icanduo]

Wow, your speaking voice, singing and ukulele playing are perfect. I can listen to your voice all day long!

[@jennieo281]

I had just got a ukulele for my sons birthday and within 2 hours he was so impressed by himself. Thank you formatting both of are days!😃

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Hi, I am a bit of a late comer here for this tutorial. I must say this was absolutely wonderful and I loved your performance, your vocals and ukulele playing were delightful and a sheer joy to listen to. Thank you for making this super fun video. I have already started learning it so I can perform it for family and friends in the near future. I also wanted to bring to your attention is that there is a small lyric error you have in this video. At the very beginning of the song in the second line you sing and write it as "He sat high above his bed watching all the couples play..." but the correct line is: He sat high above his BAY watching all the couples play. So there is a rhyme scheme present in every line throughout the song and bed doesn't rhyme with play.

Your videos are so good they made me cry when I did my first song (This one) because of you.

[@stxrrymoon0978]

I just picked up the ukulele two days ago and I was looking through a bunch of youtube videos to learn how to play it, and this really was very helpful and easy to follow along! I've had some string instrument experience before (viola) and I also play saxophone so I guess it was easy for me to pick up the ukulele because thankfully I have music experience, but this was a MEGA help I loved this video

[@OneMusicSchool]

This made my day! I’m so happy that this helped you 😀😀😀😀. Have a wonderful day, and keep on strumming.

[@liana_556]

Wow, you are so good. Anyways, this is what I learned after watching this video: This is NOT as easy as what you make it look like. Also, after watching this repeatedly, I finally kinda got it and started sounding good, though, since I was in my grandparents’ room, my grandma got super annoyed and ran out of the room, shutting the door, screaming.

[@annalisafiorenza5782]

Thank you for doing this for us. The only thing is it moves from a slower strum to a MUCH quicker one way quickly. I think it would have been better to do the entire song (singing too) with the slower rhythm first, then increase in speed for the finale.

[@jaderalston7725]

I just want to say thank you so much, thank you 100000 times over and over again. This tutorial was perfect for me. You explained it perfectly and it was super easy for me to follow along. (Although the strumming took me a minute to get the hang of haha)

[@OneMusicSchool]

You’re not alone. Many people are in the same boat as you are right now. Don’t give up. The more and more familiar you are with the song, the easier the singing becomes. I couldn’t sing and play at the same time to save my life when I first started 😂. I have made a video about singing and playing, and I’ll link it. I hope it helps. In the meantime, be patient and focus on your progress and not perfection. Everyone starts somewhere, and the fact that you’re starting and trying is amazing.

Here's a little tip: the island strumming pattern works REALLY well to but only if you are singing too bc it doesn't match the actual one. Also, I thought that a C7 chord in the chorus works well for me in the end not just the regular C. Hope that helps a bit🙃

[@aaronflinner6431]

I have a Cordoba 15cm-e concert sized and it sounds really nice. There is a Cordoba 15cm which is the same model but with no option to plug into an amplifier. It's just as nice though, and a bit less expensive I think. Maybe around $100. That's not a bad price for a well made ukulele. Hope you have fun. It's not hard to learn, and so much fun. I just started last year and I'm having a blast. Good luck, Aaron
