Love the 2 speed play-a-longs. I need to play many times at a slower speed before I can begin to keep up with the regular speed.

[@changbohu]

Fantastic teaching! I tired to follow other videos for this seemingly easy chords but after many times I could not match chords and lyrics well. Only after watching yours I learned Parley..Thyme had 3 chords in it. Maybe others learn things easily, but I have to admit I am a Ukulele fool and have to learn step by step. Amazingly your teaching steps already make adorable song. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know. One of my dear patrons, who has been supporting me for years lives in a rural area of the Netherlands. Back in the day, I got caught up in the Lucky Luick housing riot near the Van Gogh Museum. I was doing part of my arts funding studies there in 1982.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Excellent! You will perfect this.

[@Ida4803]

I ment it is a feast to play and sing together with you this song. But you understood my dutch enthousiasme. Nice! I play with a bariton ukelele because I like the sound very much. It is littlebit difficult because I have to change in my head very quick the chords. But it goes nice together with your soprano.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Wonderful! Good to hear back from you. I have never tried a baritone. I do like the sound.

[@emdmath]

I like your approach. Easy to follow. Thank you.

[@donaldserreyn1505]

I like the two speeds of playback - the slower to allow me to get my left hand/right hand coordination into my memory bank, then the faster (normal) speed to push me and allow me to thoroughly enjoy the song.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thanks for the feedback Donald. That is really helpful for me in figuring out how to help folks on their ukulele journey.

[@elainepalmer8268]

I cannot believe how much I have improved (even my husband says so) in the couple of weeks since I joined you. I love the breakdown of each line (longer when more difficult), the varying speeds and the boxes on the chord charts. Thoroughly enjoying what you do.

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Thanks for letting me know Elaine. I am honored to help you on your ukulele journey.

[@zeynepbengu3526]

Lovely song ...Thanks for this :) Is AM A major ? I loved the 2 speeds playalong, but I'm practising the first one :)

[@TheUkuleleFool]

Am is A minor. Generally major chords don't have any special designation. Glad you enjoy having two speeds. Come join the Ukulele Fool Patreon Community. I am having a jam on Saturday with easy 2, 3 and 4 chord songs.

Hi there. Love your videos. I have introduced my sister and brother in law to ukelele and to your Channel. I noticed you are from Louisville and this is where they are from. Can you tell me if there are any Ukelele groups in Louisville they can participate in?

Thank you so much! Yes there is a group in Louisville - Derby City Strummers. They meet once a month. The next meeting is at the Middletown Louisville Public LIbrary at 6:30 pm.
