Can we take a moment to appreciate how well James sings 👏👏 A true ukulele legend he is 🙏🙏

[@jameshillmusiq]

☺️

[@jdaviesVT]

OMG, yes! Who cares what instrument he's playing - uke, voice, fiddle, piano, whatever.

[@lisamarie8700]

I was just thinking that...

[@RodSwansmad]

Yep , he can hold a tune .. So Jealous .. I can’t sing for shit ..Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kevindean1327]

Excellent!!!

[@Dav95id]

I love people that instead of selling you how good they are, they show you how easy it is to learn it too ❤️

[@cmoreno12345]

Yep. A great teacher indeed.

[@gunaydinhm]

Agree👍

[@DerEchteChupa]

The Bob Ross of Ukulele! Thank you! Great Tutorial!

[@moriochi5361]

My little brother broke my guitar, so he bought me a ukulele so I can keep strumming. I thought of it as a substitute but then I saw part 1 and part 2 of this lesson and played along. It was fun. I'll play more of the uke for a while. Thanks for this beautiful lesson, sir.

[@salamasW]

Teaches satin doll. Makes a Glenn Miller pun. I approve of this

[@gnatluo]

In reality his uke is glued to his jacket

[@official_polnareff1705]

No question, just wanted to say that you are honestly great and its brilliant how focused you are on making people be passionate about ukulele and how it doesnt feel like a chore to do but instead a fun hobby to try out and be creative and excited by

[@reginarodrigues5890]

Really loved these first two lessons, where will I find the 3rd and next etc... ?

[@kmp435]

Beautiful song and singing, just started to play jazz from your tutorials, normally play baroque lute music on ukulele and enjoying your music and lessons 🎶 🎶

[@delphinekirkland1757]

Wow! Thanks! Can't thank you enough. Been a gigging jazz vocalist for years. Always had great players so I didn't think much about playing... untill I got a uke in my hand! What fun! Got two bands here in NC but I want a band in the cities I travel to to visit my kids: Portland, Stockholm, Austin and Guanajuato MX. Weird thing is I've heard my father in-law and husband play the instrumental of this for decades and never heard it sung.

[@eugeniasackson7128]

What a great lesson! Make me feel accomplished! Thank you James Hill!

[@jameshillmusiq]

YES!!

[@debraaerne6466]

Wow, I used to play Satin Doll on the guitar with my Dad (jazz trumpeter) accompanying ... but this arrangement is so much simpler and equally beautiful! Thanks so much for the arrangement.

[@peteralpen2550]

And now I’m learning from two of the finest UKE players, James Hill and Peter Luongo! Love the Jazz tutorials James. Thank you.

[@dianemcarthur7667]

You MAKE me stay with it! I like that. Watched your jazz style strumming tutorial, now applying it to Satin Doll (strumming hand - short - long, short - long ... release fretting hand after the longer strum). Song committed to memory🤗 I’m excited!

[@GerhardStach]

Wunderbares Tutorial mit ein tollen Song.🤗

[@ZackRamsey14]

Dude you have an amazing voice for jazz!!

[@jamimorton1770]

Purchased the Jazz course!!! I can't wait to start it. I have so much fun material to cover and learn. I really thank you James for putting together these courses. The lessons are so well thought out and I find them very motivating . You have a way of breaking things down and simplifying the lessons. I look forward every day to seeing what is next to learn. Also, thank you for the user- friendly and organized dashboard where we access all our classes in one place.

[@jameshillmusiq]

You’re welcome, Jami. Thanks for the kind words. Uke on!

[@kerryforrest6147]

James/You took a knock out song and knocked it out to another level with your incredible singing!!! 🎇🎇🎇❤️

[@nomad.9026]

This needs more views. It's an amazing professional tutorial, and you get the same quality from paid tutorials. I've seen so much about your ukulele playing and had no idea you made tutorials. Thank you!

[@jameshillmusiq]

Thanks for the kind words, nomad!

[@SuperKSongz]

Still able to follow along. Thank you for taking the time to explain this so well, James. I see now I need to invest in a proper uke with a wider neck.

[@oralabihai459]

Yes , it's a very , veli smoothh.. Tune,, with a groove too.... Mahalo from HILO HAWAII

[@Klisander]

WOW! It is a pleasure to listen when you tell about jazz in previous video, and in this video when you play and sing Satin Doll!

[@davidmuir6849]

Fantastic thanks for sharing Regards Dave from Scotland

[@DonnaPlaysUke]

What a great tutorial! Playthrough at 7:11, Bridge 8:11

[@josephukedaddy0548]

You are the greatest!! Thank you so much for making ukulele playing so much fun. You rule!!! Best teacher ever! Plus, your singing is getting really good. Bravo

[@miminanaa._]

I'm so happy KZbin recommended this video 😭

[@guineu49]

I love it. I got so tired of the usual songs, learning this is gold

[@theapprentice2298]

Wonderful James

[@marylouverbonac9627]

Wow! Chords beyond the 4th fret! Who knew? Thank you.

[@LizaLavolta]

Really enjoying this one. As a huge Ella fan and a vocalist, I'd never somehow heard this song. Love that it is super sassy!

[@rgibson1hrg7a]

Fantastic teaching, fantastic playing, fantastic singing, and a fantastic song, what’s not to like? I was extremely impressed by how well everything was done in this lesson.

[@MikeDavid_Davideos]

Keep posting videos of you and your 'ukulele tutorials. You could help a lot of people like me I'm not a Canadian, I'm a Pilipino but by watching your videos, you already helped me in a smart way. Also, by making more videos, KZbin would give you payments. Good way for musicians to get income especially these days that social distancing is being implemented. KZbin videos might save your career as musician. Thanks again and stay safe

[@duckchorus]

Wonderful easy example. Yes, very motivating! Thanks, James ... this is a great tutorial. 🌞

[@timothyfarrell8672]

Thanks James, I've always loved this song. Your tutorial makes learning and playing Satin Doll for this beginner a real treat. I look forward to checking out uketropolis for more!

[@jameshillmusiq]

You CAN do it, Iggy! Way to go.

[@bethsnider9639]
