Riptide by Vance Joy Easy Ukulele Tutorial with Riff and Play Along

[@squishylimeable]

You're the only one I've seen so far dare to teach the riff part, everyone conveniently skips over it so thanks for taking the time to show it!

[@Anastasia-ot6si]

0:27 - chords 2:18 - strumming pattern 3:30 - riff 4:54 - play along It would be much more helpful, if you put timestamps in a pinned comment rather than in the video or in the description, because then we would be able to actually press the blue timestamp and go to the exact point in the video we need.

[@honiarachin2753]

Thanks for the timestamps

This is the first time i can play this song correctly, love the way you make everything easy :))

[@wissypissy]

This is the best tutorial for Riptide on all of KZbin!!!! As a complete beginner, barely knowing how to strum, I learned it in about 3 hours or so!!

[@OneMusicSchool]

What a blessing! I’m so thrilled that this helped you! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you 😀.

[@vconsumer]

your tutorials are the best. well structured, appropiate visual help and most importantly for me as a begginer: the play along! It is much much much appreciated!!! Much love from Germany

[@sadie5518]

I'm really new to ukulele and I don't know if its just me but I'm super confused about when to change chords but other than that this vid is really helpful :D

[@Agario-bq7zt]

Ok it’s sooooo hardd and even I’m not new to ukelale and it’s still hard

[@Walfuz]

pretty easy just practice and you'll get better

[@nevaehmckenzie551]

Yea that was me too

[@mentallymaitiu3172]

It’s hard at start but try keeping your fingers in position a s best as possible until your comfortable enough to change faster! It helped me!

[@erinheiden9361]

I’ve been wrestling with tempo on this song for a while now and this is best video I’ve seen demonstrating the more complex strumming pattern. Thank you!!

[@artwithnata-natalie3nat585]

Oh, Katie!! ( I know this video is 3 years old but...) I can’t thank you enough for your lessons! I’ve never touched a ukulele in my life yet, today I achieved playing this song!! You’re an amazing teacher. Thank you so much! Its channel’s like yours that motivate people like me who have never touched a ukulele before to keep at it! One small achievement can lead to a journey of success! God bless you & keep up the good work!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I am so thrilled that this helped you. You have no idea how encouraging reading this was, so thank you for being so kind. I hope that this channel continues to help you, and please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day :).

[@artwithnata-natalie3nat585]

Thank you so much Katie!!! Wow, you are such an amazing KZbinr! I’m having some trouble strumming and singing at the same time, but I know that with some practice (and your videos, of course!) I can accomplish it. Again, thank you for taking the time out of your day to reply! God bless!

Was looking for so long a tuto that show the riff. Mauruuru roa! ( Thank you)

This was one of the first songs I learned on the ukulele but I didn’t know the Riff so that was helpful! Thank you! Great cover btw! ❤️😊❤️

If you put your first finger on fret 2 and string 1,2 and 3 you can just put third finger on third fret second sting and it will be easier but u prob have it down by now 😂

I was looking to play many songs i love, and i knew i wanted to do riptide as one. I learned about ukelele at my school for about a month or two, and i come on here, looking for riptide, aka my first song. The other videos i couldnt get, but when i stumbled across this one, this video is perfect for me. You make it so simple, Your voice is perfect, and you explain well. I come at watch this like every three days and i play along to you. i was looking at some of your other videos and decided to hear them, and now i practice three of your videos when you play. Thank you so much!! :D Wouldnt be the same without you!

You do a masterful job of explaining and clarifying your lesson. A big plus in my book is how well you sing too. Many thanks for all the work you put into each tutorial. (Please double check your explanation of finger placement for the G - Chord. Something about finger #3 on the 3rd fret on the C string when you meant E string.)

Oh, I already know how to play this song... Oh well! I guess I'm just here to support :D

[@IAudabcrazy]

Hi Katie I love that you teach the riff. I am curious as to why you do hammer on instead of plucking both E notes on third string?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Hi and thanks for watching 😀. I chose the hammer because I thought it was faster. One of the advantages of hammer one/pull offs is speed. If you can eliminate extra plucking and incorporate a hammer on or a pull off, it allows you to play a riff more quickly. I hope that helps 😀. You could play it either way. This is just an option.

[@redd24hundred93]

Love this song. You can also use dxuuxu for the chorus which sounds nice. I already know this song but not the Riff, so thanks!

[@carson6466]

I hope you read this! Can you make a playlist with videos for a Ukulele weeklong or multi-weeklong bootcamp where you teach beginners and slowly build on the things you are teaching us each week? I feel like, as a beginner, this would be really helpful in making sure I am not jumping from song to song and missing out on basic skills that would be beneficial to learn! I think that having those skills and you slowly building us up and teaching us how to apply the skills to songs as we build up would be awesome! Just a thought though!

[@OneMusicSchool]

Hi and thanks for watching 😀. I hear what you’re saying. KZbin is a great search engine, but it’s not great for sequence. I actually have exactly what you’re looking for I my Patreon Page. I have ukulele 101 course, ukulele 201 course, and then a Barre a chord Boot Camp. Each course has 10-15 exclusive videos with handouts that takes you through learning the uke step by step. Visit www.patreon.com/onemusicschool for more details. It’s only $5 a month to gain access to the courses. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@OneMusicSchool]

If you are looking for beginner lessons or just technique videos, I do have a beginner’s playlist and ukulele fingerpicking/strumming technique playlist that can be found on my channel homepage. There are a lot of my tutorials that contain free chord charts. All of the chord charts from my newer videos can be found in my Patreon Page. Thanks and have a great day 😀.

Hello, love the tutorial. Just starting to learn ukelele and trust me these tutorials are helping a lot. :) Just an editing advice there was a continuity error in the video. Probably you reshot the riff part and added it later on from 04:18 - 04:20. Don't ask me how I noticied it. Just thought to point it out as a helping hand. Take care!

[@joybusjourneys4903]

I am new to you channel and playing ukulele and had a couple questions. I see a lot of instructors who say you should hold the uku at a 45 degree angle and notice you do not. Is there a reason? Second when you strum what fingers are you using to strum up and down? Sorry if you answered these somewhere else.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Hi and thanks for stopping by! Yes, the correct posture is 45 degrees, but I have to keep my uke parallel to the floor for split screen purposes. I do explain that in my newer videos because I realized it could confuse people. I am strumming down with my index finger and up with my thumbnail or the pad of my pointer finger. I hope that helps.

[@joybusjourneys4903]

Thank you so much! Appreciate you getting back to me. With the strumming are you continuing the pattern over and over again no matter what cord you are playing? My rhythm needs some work. When you do your Skype lessons how much do you charge and how often do most people have them?@@OneMusicSchool

Hi katie!! what does it mean when your playing the song and then theres "am///" what do those 3 lines mean? with regards to the song :)

Hi, the Am is one count and each / is an additional count. You can find what it means on the print able chord chart in the description box 🙂. I hope that helps.

[@xxrossaaxx2043]

Yay!! Luv this song :D

[@Dartheomus]

Is there any video out there that plays this the way Vance plays it? He clearly uses completely different chord structures, and the song doesn't have steady rising feel to it that these versions have. Everyone keeps teaching it this way, but it's definitely not how it was done originally. (And I don't mean being a half step off.. it's just completely different.... watch his fingers when he plays it.)

How would you practice this strum pattern with a metronome please?

[@MrNuteck]

Whats confusing me is when you play Riptide with the three chords you appear to be adding an additional down stroke before changing chords. So instead of DD UDU you appear to be playing DD UDUD Can you explain please? And yes transition from Am to G does take lots of practice to speed it up.
