[@georgiannamoraitopoulou1638]

I am almost irrelevant to music, but I've recently got an ukelele for Christmas and I'm telling you... You are officially my teacher!!! I wholeheartedly thank you!!!!!!

[@502v222v2202]

You're a lovely person. I'm so glad there are mass educators like you in so many specialities guiding every willing inquisitor through a more fulfilling educational experience!

[@TheLeprechaun04]

Just so you know the picking part is a little easier if you just use the G string. Since you are already in the F chord it is 2 - 3 - 0 - 2 on that string.

[@LordGorillaMaster]

Yeah, that's the version that i learned.

[@Misterslidedropper]

exactly my thoughts! 1 small error though: it"s 3-2-0-2 . But I'm sure you ment that ;)

[@vik.1903]

Exactly

[@c0untbakwerdz]

Uke teacher here - agreed, the complexity of the method in the vid is unnecessary.

[@hectorquinones5579]

Thank you so much! This helped a lot. I just got my first ukulele today and it is so much fun! Could you perhaps do a tutorial on Elephant Gun or Port of Call by Beirut? Thanks again! :D

[@endotassia]

[@sovaydesitges]

you're such a good teacher

[@tlloy]

A tutorial for the Safety Dance would be amazing :D

[@ElCarneroRojo]

Thanks SO much for your lesson! One question, though-- you don't discuss the chords to play during the transition between the first part of the song and the second part of the song! I can't find it anywhere, please help! If you want to check it out, it happen at around 1:57 on the album recording. Mahalo!!

[@thomascruzalegui8907]

+ElCarneroRojo I'm pretty sure it's just F and then F minor (2,0,1,3)

[@ElCarneroRojo]

That sounds about right... many thanks!

[@MariaCastro-jx2wf]

Elephant gun by Beirut, ¡please! 😫 PS. I love your tutorials, you help me a lot. Salutes from Mexico 🐻

[@sannychwan1904]

Hey man, I really love your tutorials they help me out a lot, mostly because in my country the ukulele isn't a very popular instrument so it's really hard to learn by yourself without a teacher or a tutorial, I also really enjoy Beirut's songs and I wish you could teach us Elephant Gun, an amazing song of his. See you soon ;)

[@sofih3399]

NOW YOU ARE MY MAN ! :D official ;) Thanks so much for following requests, since I saw many of your fellow followers asked for Beirut. Since you are mostly choosing 1 song of every band, would you allow me still to request another of Beirut ? I am speaking of Elephant Gun or Nantes ;) cheers, master of Ukes !

[@dcastillo1992]

What about a Bbadd9?! The ninth really adds a nice color to the progression and it sounds like what is being played in the recording!

[@onlyRaZoRz]
