[@khadijahhussain9392]

I love you Bernadette plzcould you reply to this comment plz btw you are amazing i have learnt how to play te ukulele because of you anf im now in a band

[@idiotgay]

I'm so confused, this tutorial is easy to follow and has helped me alot but I still have no idea what part of the song the uke solo is

[@loladobler3237]

Yah great tutorial but a playthru mightve been helpful

[@jacobkeene5449]

Great tutorial! I have difficulties switching strum patterns between the bridge and the chorus smoothly, any advice?

[@jordanscott8685]

thi is great! thank you.

[@aliyahm9950]

Ahh! Again with the “look up” “look at my fingers” i swear you saying that makes this tutorial more friendly and actually feel like you’re here teaching us!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Caitlyn Vasquez 😂 I teach a lot of people and they always look at their hands when I’m trying to explain something to them!

[@twisterrrrr]

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic This! I bought a ukulele 3 days ago and been watching ur videos, so far you're the only teacher where it feels like im actually in class because of those things you say haha very good teacher

[@BirdWhisperer46]

Don't be fooled, Bernadette can see you.

[@JasonHuebel]

It's actually my favorite thing about Bernadette's lessons. :-)

[@Tehqo]

got a ukulele a day ago and learning is hard. changing chords is a task, thanks for the tutorial

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Tehqo I have a video called “your first ukulele lesson.” It might help you a lot 💕

[@Anna-fo9iu]

Are u better now

[@dinosaurkris6329]

I absolutely looooove the way you teach, makes it feel like I’m right there with you and if I hadn’t already known how to play the song I would’ve learned it so well with you. Keep it up ❤️❤️❤️

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Dinosaur Kris thank you, Kris!!! I really appreciate the compliment. I have to give the credit to my professors (I went to college for music education) 😃

[@brittjuman9596]

Every time you say "Look up, look at my fingers," I'm always looking down! Thank you SO much for that! It's so helpful and makes me feel like I'm not learning this alone!!

[@arc1105]

This is good Ms.B thank you, I've learned a lot. Like how you broke it down into sections. This was like five or more tutorials pack into one. Ghost strumming is good way to remember the pattern. Slowing the speed helped. This is going in the uku journal. About half way through there was an add. It ask if I want to skip it, I didn't. I used the opportunity to shake out my fingers and stretch. When you were back I was all set to go. Good timing. Happy day.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Oh!!! That’s a great way to use the ad space! I really appreciate that!! I will buy treats for KitKat and Arigato with that added income ;) Glad you liked this longer tutorial. Sometimes tutorials are short, sometimes longer to give you more info :)

[@lofielie3703]

I got a uke 3 days ago and all the tutorials are just telling me what cords to do and not how to do them or how the strumming works and your teaching sounds so natural like you’re right here with me and I know all the chords used in this song now! Keep up the good work. I just subscribed :)

[@TheCitrusss]

0:47 is the hardest part! "Look at my hand" when there is the most beautiful lady to look at :P The best part starts @ 10:52 - this is just astonishing! You sang the whole song and it was amazing! Loved it!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

I really don’t like singing 👻👻👻 but I have to teach, so there’s no way around it. Thank you for the compliment and support :)

[@TheCitrusss]

your voice is amazing! you are great at singing! you should be proud of your singing voice! :) just do not be shy because we love you singing too!!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

TheCitrusss 😭😭😭 thank you so much. You are so sweet

[@xxrossaaxx2043]

At 2:40, solo, I was so thankful!! I saw another solo on another channel and I thought it was so hard cause you need hammer ons and pull offs, but now with this I impress all my family😍 Luv u Ms. B

[@emilyteigland4887]

Best Riptide lesson I have seen! Thanks Ms B for teaching an ukulele favorite 🙃 I love how you reminded about how short your nails have to be, super helpful, since I cut mine and they just keep coming back 😉! And this is the first place where I learned the picking from so YAY!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Emily Teigland hey!! That means you’re healthy! Nails, hair and skin goals!!! I have students who keep coming to class with long nails, so I figured it’s happening with my KZbin students too 😉

[@Karen-rx3ey]

I don't have a ukulele yet, but I love watching your videos, in my mind I'm playing with you! Thanks!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Karen Carrafa that’s adorable, Karen!!! 😘

[@vananhho1556]

I love that you try to make songs your own! Before you posted this tutorial, I only knew the chords and the two strumming patterns. But now you that you are adding the fingerpicking to the song, it is sounds so much more fun! A great tutorial, as always!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Van Anh Ho thank you!!! So glad you like that. Thank you for letting me know. I didn’t do it before because I thought people wouldn’t like it! 💕

[@vananhho1556]

Bernadette Teaches Music I am glad you are doing it now :) Your ukulele looks gorgeous by the way! I was thinking of buying an Enya ukulele somewhere in the future, but it looks like Amazon does not deliver these to my country. Hopefully, I can look for it on a different website. Do you know any other ukulele brands that are similar to Enya?

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Van Anh Ho I am not sure, but I will keep an eye out for one. Have you check out the new fender ukuleles? They have a similar body shape

[@vananhho1556]

Bernadette Teaches Music Thank you for taking your time to answer the comments! Amazone is able to ship a few Enya ukuleles to my country, but sadly not the ones I am looking for. I will have a look at the Fender ukuleles.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

May I ask what your country is? I can message the company and ask ;)

[@janevelasco5869]

I got my first uke last Christmas. It’s simple uke for beginners. I had 3 songs I wanted to learn in uke. Riptide is my first piece to learn. Great teaching!

[@francacarlomagno]

I don’t know what you weren’t sure about this tutorial! Loved it!! The best part is your fingerpicking style! You’re leaving me with a lot of homework for the weekend!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so much, Franca! I kept messing up the instructions and ended up recording over 40 minutes of video. While I was recording, I drank a tea that dried my mouth and made it impossible to sing 😂😂😂pero bueno, aqui estamos!

[@juliettelara4994]

The more I see your ukulele, the more I fall in loooove with it 😍😍 it’s so beautiful...

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

ooh-koo-leh-leh 😘😘😘

[@hannahb9054]

I get so excited when I get a notification for a new video😁 I have been guilty of stopping my strum to change chords until I knew the song really well so your tip flipped a light switch for me haha... it will definitely make my playing seem better and less amateur (something that bothered me and often made me feel discouraged before). Thanks! 😘

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hannah B Hannah! Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you turned on notifications. It makes my heart happy to see a community of friends here as soon as the video is out ❤️😘

[@Teeum5]

You increased speed of teaching compared to your tutorials in the very beginning - I do like that and until now I can follow along. Now coming to this tutorial - every part is well explained and easy to follow. I do like that you point out what is important and what the player has to keep an eye on. In this tutorial I was missing a written down measuring (counting???) under or above the strumming and picking pattern. I think this helps developing the personal skills. At the very end when you did a complete play-along it would have been helpful (for me) if the strumming pattern would have been displayed. I'm always that "nervous" that I forget what I just practiced. But I know that all that is a lot of work for you... ... so... as always you did a very good job! 👏 Thank you very much for sharing. Greetings from Germany 🙃

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Teeum5 thank you thank you thank you for all the feedback. It is GOLD to me to hear from you what can make the videos better. I love getting all the sweet comments too, but I always wonder how your playing experience was and how I could make it better. Thank you 😊 😘 hugs and kisses to Germany

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Awesome Beyond the Canvas you've got in the background!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

TenThumbs Productions it’s the best thing that happened to my setup 😍😍😍 you should get one for your videos!!!

[@jenn7157]

Thank you! This is very helpful! I've watched other tutorials on this, but they don't seem to be as specific as yours! I am very confident in learning this :)

[@ΑναστασιαΚοτσινα]

Great tutorial Miss Bernadette! I found the song pretty easy and fun. I only need to practise the fingerstyle to master it. By the way, I still can't get over this top. I hope to recreate it one day with my sewing skills!

If you make it, tag me on a photo on insta!!! I must see it!!! 😘😘

[@abbyvillanueva-dl6725]

You are satisfied with how the video turned out? Great tutorial as always. Love that more finger picking styles are now included in your tutorials 👍

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Abby Vdl hey! Yes. The original video was 45 minutes long. I cut out all the junk and managed to make a decent video 😆 I will keep adding more fingerpicking to future videos. It’s going to make all of us better players!

[@Kevin-nr9lj]

Great explanation as always especially the strumming pattern. I loved how you notated the ghost strum. Fantastic editing overall. You sang well too. 😊😊

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

I was wondering who would make a comment about the ghost strum! 👻👻👻 As always, thank you, Kevin! How's the weather in Coimbatore today?

[@Kevin-nr9lj]

Bernadette Teaches Music I laughed out loud when I saw that 😂 that was very clever and funny. Weather here is ok. I was raining earlier this weak, so heat has reduced.

[@mariajukejax9649]

But I haven't tried the strumming pattern. I keep doing the Island Strum. Now I can do it, it's hard to stop Island Strumming on every song.

D D UDU -this song D DUUDU -island strum They are almost exactly the same, minus one U. You're super close :)

[@mariajukejax9649]

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I'll go through it slowly. It's the one less upstrum I need to focus on

[@avalonaudley3279]

I've had my ukulele for about a year but I've never been patient enaugh to learn how to play until now. You seem to be a great teacher and your tips are very useful. Thank you for remembering about strumming. Lots of KZbinrs skip it but it's important for less talented people like me XD Keep going! I just wish you made more tutorials for songs that I know. Greetings from Poland!

[@celinadykstra9432]

[@meganporter1473]

I’m really liking this tutorial! It seems like the song should be very easy because there aren’t many chords, but I love how you go from fingerpicking to strumming and back. Simple song, but challenging enough for this beginner to feel like I’m accomplishing something when I can get the strumming patterns right 😁😁

[@camparsons]

Thank you so much for the lesson. I used to not be able to do the strumming but you explained it in a way for me to understand 😃

[@daheartspeaks]

Strumming is hard for me. My hand has no rhythm lol but the ghost tip helped alot! What a difference, thank you for being so thorough and patient :D

i enjoy your lesson and content. this is nothing to do with playing ukelele tho i would just like to point out when you used "sayonara" in Japanese, it mostly means 'farewell', as people will formally say to someone they likely will not see again. the better cheerful way could be "ma da ne", it roughly translates to 'see you later'. hope this helps :)

Bernadette Teaches Music not a problem, glad I can help in some way.

[@TheCitrusss]

also, i would like to make couple of suggestions: at 2:40 when you are explain solo in this song and other also include a note sheet in addition to tabs - this will help to understand how it actually sounds because there are 4 eight-notes and 2 quarter-notes. Some people may try to play it all at the same length ------------------------------------------ --------0♪--0♪--3♩-------0♩-------- ---2♪------------------2♪------------- ------------------------------------------ Like this or something. I think understanding how to count is very important from the very beginning. and another one at 4:14, why not use blank arrows for free hand move while strumming? like this: ⬆⇩⬆⇧⇩⬆⬇⬆ once again, it will show the proper count and easier transition to more advanced techniques later on. I just love the way you explain how to play and i've been doing far more progress playing uke from scratch than watching any other tutorials! you rock! P.S. still waiting for you to wear fake mutton chops and teach us "In the summertime"! :P P.P.S. Raptide is easier to play with a pick

[@ccmi2081]

TheCitrusss Yes this is some great suggestion. Hope she decide to put note sheet. Always wanted to learn reading that.
