Somebody asked me to explain it and since i couldn't find a good video about it on youtube i made one myself^^ We'll see hahaha

[@lydiafox4954]

really easy and helpful tutorial but I struggled when it came to the chords for the verse, just wondering if there were any easier substitutes? otherwise a massive thumbs up 😁🖒

[@ElliotWatever]

Thank you for your kind words! Sure thing. If you have a capo you could mount it on the first fret. Then you would have these four chords to play along: Em - G - D - A :) Have a great day :D

[@lydiafox4954]

Cookies Music thanks heaps I'll give it ago 😊

[@xxrossaaxx2043]

Cookies Music I also found that the chords Dm, F, C, and G work fine with the strruming of DDU UDU

[@Martaabellanm]

my hand is DEEEEAD after this

[@ElliotWatever]

But It'll be worth it ;)

[@tedcoombs7762]

Really helpful thanks :)

[@ElliotWatever]

+Ted Coombs I'm glad I could help :)

[@hannahwilliams5995]

how have you tuned your ukulele? as the chords on mine don't sound the same as yours? I have the basic GCEA tuning on mine

[@ElliotWatever]

Does it sound different? I think I tuned my uke before recording. This song is played in the GCEA tuning. For reference points hold onto the original song!

[@DjExtremeGamesPro]

NICE MAN ! BR

[@ElliotWatever]

Thanks man :D

[@lujzamilotova1179]

It's amazing! Thanks a lot! :-)

[@anxx4395]

YESSSSSSSSS

[@ElliotWatever]

Do you also play the uke?

[@anxx4395]

Cookies Music yeah. Your videos are vv helpful :)

[@kod4062]

I can play this song now... but there's nothing on the 6th fret in the fm cord right? lil mistake there

[@ElliotWatever]

That's awesome! Yeah I re-watched it now, that was my mistake! The pinky is on the 5th fret second string^^ That's why I always show how I play the chords, otherwise people would learn the wrong shapes xD

[@antgabe404]

Im having trouble with the strum what is it with the chuck?

[@ElliotWatever]

First of you have to get the strumming motion going and then you can think about the chuck. Try to feel it. It's just weird at first but you'll get the hang of it :)

[@graveyard_wonderland]

*How do you bar the whole thing? I NEVER CAN KEEP MY FINGER PRESSED DOWN*

[@ElliotWatever]

Maybe keep an eye on your thumb that has to press against the neck the uke! Play a bit around and see if the position fits. Everything's practice! But I wish somebody had told me about the thumb when I was struggling 😉

[@supermax1125]

thank you very much, very useful! ☺️ beautiful voice

[@ElliotWatever]

+SuperMax I'm glad I could help! Thank you :)

[@Lucarts223]

is a very good tutorial

[@ElliotWatever]

+Lucarts 223 Thanks man :)

[@liapayne9987]

Honestly this is the best tutorial anyone could possibly ask for.

[@ElliotWatever]

+Lia Payne Thank you so much :)

[@artic9988]

I find it a little bit hard to play for the verses and chorus , i don't know all note yet , i started playing recently but in 5 minutes i could learn the intro, maybe you could show some point on the uke for the note to help people understand, that is just some advice other than that really nice tutorial ! And a really nice voice when you sing . Have a god day

[@ElliotWatever]

+ArTic Do you mean I should show the tab of how every chord is built? I tried to target that point just briefly in the video, so I understand that it might be not enough for some. I will try to incorporate it more in the next tutorials I put out :) Thanks for the feedback!

[@michaelkulakov9716]

Sounds better than the regular Dm-F-C-Gm but ring finger hurts. Thx pal

[@ElliotWatever]

I think so too! That's the price you gotta pay :P You're welcome :)

[@jacobjeffrey7326]

It’s a really great tutorial but my fingers are too short to be able hit some of the chords

[@ElliotWatever]

You might think they are. You probably just have to get used to the finger positions! I remember thinking I will never get the intro to under the bridge because my finger were too short^^ And here I am ☺

[@ANAHI98ily]

Spent my whole off trying to learn this and still can't 😞

[@ElliotWatever]

Don't force it! Some learn quicker than others but the key is to always keep pushing :) I think you can do it, just put some more time into it... The most efficient way how I learn songs is to split them up and learn it step by step. Don't forget that you revisit everything you've learned when you sleep! So keep at it and watch yourself getting closer to your goal every day :)

I guess you just tried to be funny. Wrong subject though...

[@qweqewre618]

@@ElliotWatever Well, as non-english speaker, I was surprised when I found out what this song is about. Funny melody and cruel content. Good for jokes imo. There is no need to sulk. Nonetheless, you made a great ukulele lesson which I appreciate and will definitely use when mine ukulele arrives. Wish you all the best!

[@ElliotWatever]

That's what makes it interesting imo. Don't get me wrong but I get so many disturbing comments about killing school kids on this video so I'm just pretty fed up with it. But I still appreciate it man. I hope you have fun with your ukulele :)

[@alexishartshorn]

I can’t even do the intro I get confused on what number the strings are 😞

[@ElliotWatever]

Don't get discouraged by that. Try to slow it down and play that riff every day like for 10 minutes or so. It doesn't have to be a time intensive practice! You'll see that you will get better every time :)

[@ricoadinugroho4465]

What's a tuning???

[@ElliotWatever]

Think of it as a setting on every guitar string! There are many tunings for string instruments and they can produce different sounds. Usually I play songs in the standard tuning though.

This is a "bad" comment because I don't understand your arguments. Don't get me wrong I'm all up for constructive criticism but it looks like you've made an effort to write something and then totally gave up in the middle of your comment 🙈 Maybe next time you try to read the comment out loud and see if it makes sense to you. That's a great way to correct sentences like that. See that's a constructive criticism of your comment. Have a great day :)
