Cynthia Lin Music hi Cynthia. I don’t own a ukulele but is there such thing as an upchuck? Because there is a down chuck.

[@madisonyoung4517]

transitioning from chord to chord. I am practicing every day and its getting better but it would be nice to know some practice techniques that may help with this. Thank you SO SO SO much for all you do! I LOVE my uke! I am blessed to have you as a teacher!

[@NikolaasIV183]

Cynthia Lin Music I love your music

[@bookmarksandbookshelves3998]

I'm not sure that I strum my uke correctly. I know you've covered it before, but I still can't seem to get the right lovely sound. Do you use your nails or the pads of your fingers? And thumb or first finger. When I've tried with a pick, it slows me down soooo much. So any tips for that? Thanks!! LOVE your content!

[@thejunior9303]

After wanting for several years to learn the Ukelele I found Arthurs Uke Blog and it seems to be the best online method (google it if you're interested)

[@Mrsjaydee777]

This gave me chills in the most beautiful way! Wow. Your voice is made for these slow songs! Absolutely amazing!

[@susank6267]

I love the way picking sounds! I would like to see more intermediate songs mixed in with the easy songs. The more fingerstyle the better! You are a great teacher! Your videos are very well done as well.

Hello! I would like to ask you to demonstrate the correct positioning of the picking hand so that even without looking the finger always pick the right string. Because as a beginner my eyes are focused on the changing of chords. Thank you in advance. God bless.

Thanks Cynthia. Lovely video as always! Happy Christmas to you and your family too. Please would you make a couple more videos for banjolele beginners? I know that the videos all apply to banjolele but something specific to the instrument, to learn to match the sound and playing style, would be great. Thanks Steve. xx

[@AnnaAnna-ch5ww]

Wonderful

[@jakenadiera7022]

very nice voice😍😍

[@rosendopapilla6092]

Cynthia, you have a great way of teaching, and a beautiful voice too. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@brigitteneto3181]

Thank you and merry Christmas

[@lorreinekennedy7674]

Any chance of you ever showing a side shot for beginners? I have watched a number of vids and found that my wrist was bent unnaturally. It hurt, so I start playing in front of a mirror and that improved my stance. I’ve found it best to hold my elbow close to my waist but watching you, your elbow is a fair bit away from your body (and yet your wrist is clearly in the right position). If you took an occasional shot of the Uke from the side it would help us beginners hugely.🙂

[@pswapnavaruna7353]

so nice

[@heavenlybreath]

I love your videos❤

[@MiaHessMusic]

Thanks, Cynthia and Happy Holidays!!!

[@engguansaw7831]

Nice! You go with low G, is that correct? Thanks!

[@valeratkanta9682]

[@frankmoeller1744]

EXCELLENT LESSON AND I BOUGHT YOUR CHRISTMAS SONGBOOK, THANK YOU....FRANK MOELLER

[@evieforster7857]

Hi Cynthia I recently got a ukulele and am finding it very hard to tune mine is a soprano I was just wondering what type your was ? Also live all your videos and find them very helpful x

[@Gigi-li2mn]

Tonight I received an Enya Soprano Ukulele it’s my very first. I’ve wanted to learn how to play for years however, this Uke is too small for me. I’m sending it back and would greatly appreciate a recommendation for a concert size. I’m on a budget since I’m just starting out. Should I become proficient Im positive I will spend much more! Any suggestions besides the Enya?
