Octopus's Garden - EASY Ukulele Tutorial in C with Play Along

[@stevenjacobs3166]

I'm a 65 yo guy who took guitar lessons 50 years ago. I got a ukulele today, and tried a whole bunch of tutorials here on youtube. Stephanie, yours are by far the best. Not only are you a great teacher, but your smile is absolutely to die for. Thank you SO MUCH for doing this. Has brought me great joy in this difficult time. My wife, too.

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Wow, that means so much to me! I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos!

I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any tricks you can offer me.

Stephanie, I appreciate you calm demeanor and smile. Great to have the chords there to look at but also see your playing position. I used to teach elementary music and art. Now I'm teaching 2nd grade but still bring my uke to school on occasion for a sing-a-long team builder. My kids will love this!

[@e.j.grandmaison8563]

Wow! I love that you tuned the G an octave lower. This band director-turned-ukule/piano teacher is loving this simple, yet effective concept. Sounds more like an actual guitar.

[@soniasonia-u9o]

can you please show the strumming pattern of this slower its a little hard to understand so its just D, D U D? thank you

[@xiuqindong6764]

Stephanie,you’re soo cool.I ought you to tell me what is I in ukulele for quest.🗡⚔️🛡🌳🌲

[@sapphosnail]

I’m trying to learn this but I wanna do it with a diff tempo and diff vibes to switch it up. I kinda wanna do it slower and echoey to make it melancholic in a way idk haha

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Love that idea! I love being creative with arrangements!

[@ryanbegley7098]

Fantastic video Stephanie, thank you! But could you explaing the strum pattern a little more

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

I'm just going Down, Down-up, Down, Down-up. If you're counting, think 1 2& 3 4&, with the "and" being an up strum. Arm is consistent with the motion. I hope that helped.

[@andrenpitts1491]

You're very beautiful and you have awesome instruments

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Awww thank you Andre!

[@jojofan2425]

Did you say strumming ddu du du

[@alistairproductions]

I remember you from typology

[@heatheraeberli1263]

Everything that you say is so hard how do you even do it

[@janineohagan]

Please could you you add your strumming 🙏🏼 like DDDUD then you do a DDDD UUUU some where

[@chrismartinez3687]

Another great tutorial. What about a Filipino song? 😁😊😁😊

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

I love that idea. Do you have any favorites? I have a few Filipino students and they have wanted to learn to play some Filipino songs as well.

[@chrismartinez3687]

I would love to learn Bahay Kubo or Leron leron sinta. 😊
