SONG 5

[@GeriMars]

OMG, who gave this video a thumbs down??? Go back to bed and get up on the right side! I absolutely ***LOVE*** waking up to a new uke tune every other day, and totally get the logic to the order of the songs being presented. In case anyone thinks this song is too slow or too simple for this step in the challenge, it takes discipline to play at a slow, even tempo. It's human nature to rush through things with which we're not yet comfortable. Also, for beginners, some of these chord changes and positions can be difficult. Playing slow and clean can be more demanding, not to mention more noticeable when a mistake is made, than playing fast and muddy. I can't believe someone doesn't like this. There must be KAOS agents and/or saboteur trolls at work.

[@DonOctave]

I love this song. I might need to dwell on it for more than 2 days.

btw, cords are spelt with an h. so it's chords.

Hi Bernadette!! I’m really enjoying this challenge. Thank you and I just wanted to say that I love learning with you. Thanks for supporting our uke journeys! ❤️

[@kevinjackson6011]

Thanks, Bernadette, this is great fun 👍 👍 😊. I just joined everyone on ukelandia! 😀

[@jonprudhomme7694]

"Now do it one more time and try to make it beautiful" :) Inner monologue whenever I think I finally have a song down.

[@kushangisewani3262]

Beautiful lesson Ms. B! Will try to take up the challenge successfully and make you proud.. 😊

[@nandinichakrabarti1852]

I'm loving how I'm using the side fret markers! Didn't fall prey to the look up! YAY!

[@GeriMars]

My ancient uke doesn't have side markers. I'm actually developing muscle memory. You will too when you move past looking at the side markers. This challenge is only 1/3 of the way through and I'm already noticing a huge improvement in my playing. Furthermore, I'm not bored. I'm inspired and motivated. Bernadette and the group make it so much FUN. I've never seen a more joyful lot. This is like play. These lessons and the group have restored my faith in humanity.

[@DianaJayaraj]

Thank you dear Bernie for this song, it's one of my fav, but I'm still a beginner following your 30 day uke challenge, hope I can do this

[@MissFunnyBunneh]

I'm also doing the 30 day challenge! I'm on have you ever seen the rain

[@honestlymaliyah]

Great lesson, I am getting better at doing this strumming pattern.

[@nandinichakrabarti1852]

La vie en rose is probably my favourite song, makes me feel so loved and in love even if I'm super single, haha! Thanks for the lesson Miss B! :D

[@GeriMars]

The song is pure MAGIC.

[@Kevin-nr9lj]

Beautiful song, beautiful chords melody :) Learn this song everyone :D

[@athanott]

That's the challenge I needed! Not too easy not too hard for me. Thank you so much!

[@zaidarodriguez1198]

Why do I feel like I’m on day 20 😂 ? Thanks for the challenge Ms.B!

[@sonamchetcho]

I thought i was the only one feeling this!

[@yanavo1kova]

I dreamed of learning "La Vie En Rose" from the moment I saw that nice scene from the series "How I Met Your Mother" and today my dream came true! Thaaanks! 💖

[@clarissazubia]

same! i love that version! this version is different (still pretty)! if you want to learn the how i met your mother version, the ukulele teacher does a tutorial for it :D

[@rethabilemosia8200]

That scene makes me emotional 😪❤🦄

[@nandinichakrabarti1852]

I do not know if this makes sense but the Gm7 chord is a good baby-step practice to get the Bb correct :)

[@sharlenesh1]

Oh what a lovely song...and you make it so easy to learn....I so appreciate it.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so much, Shar! ❤️

[@hannajoy7005]

How does she know I’m not looking! 😂😂 “Look up real quick...look up look up look up” ....it was the 4th look up that I realized she was telling me to look up😂😂 (Edit 2:50)

I teach general music K-7 in Las Vegas. I played horn in Disneyland band and USAF band. Teach ukulele k-7. Love the videos you make. Thank you!

I wish I played the uke back in the day...I could have used this one!! :)

Such a beautiful song and a great lesson too !

[@josephramos8011]

You are born to be a teacher.

[@nathaliaparolin8462]

Hey Ms. B, are we going to learning some music with fingerstyle in this challenge? I love fingerstyle. And I love this song too. Thanks for be an awesome teacher.

[@loryo]

I'm so thankful for this. I think you picked the perfect job.

[@Cre8tiveWoman]

Such a beautiful song and easy to play! I'm loving this challenge so much! Thanks, Ms. B.

[@rickwilmot9127]

One of my favourites..thanks, Bernadette!

[@CandaceTravismusic]

Great lesson, great song.

[@rachelgreer8946]

Thank you for this great series! I am following the uke challenge now. Somehow my brain never can remember how to distinguish between chords with any words or numbers accompanying their chord letter, for example: Fmaj7, Gm7, G7, Csus4, etc. Even with lots of practice, my mind blanks when I have to tell them apart on cue while playing - what is a nice tip for remembering these clearly and distinctly from each other?

[@14xx07]

I love how I can take my own time following and playing along :) I’ve just arrived in my 5th week. :)

[@oxoxDarya]

This is such a lovely tune🌹. The chord-melody version of Le Vie En Rose is fresh in my mind (and bloody fingertips ; ) since completing our first Ukulele Lockdown II week. I am SO happy to find this “companion” piece-thank you! xoxo Darya .

[@SM-so8hh]

Lots of new chords for me so is challenging but I love a challenge so can't wait to master it! This challenge is teaching me so much I love it ❤👏

[@irinavonp9047]

This is very hard for me, is taking me days to memorise those chords but nevertheless I'm enjoying the process, thanks Bernadette! I recently moved to Paris and I'm motivated to learn and sing it in french! 🥖

[@janetpotter6444]

Wow! That Fmaj7 to the Gm is super hard! But I'm loving the big challenge for a newbie like me...and it is a beautiful song! I've pretty much only done songs with Am C F G and G7, so this one is pretty challenging for my fingers that need to work on new muscle memory. Thanks!

[@AislinAndTheAmp]

Been working on it all day - beyond my skill level at the moment (I’ll come back to it) BUT I got the baby bar chord down! I’m considering that a win!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

That is a HUGE win!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ropecrewman36]

Thank you so much for choosing this song. It's one of my favorite 40's ballads! :D I'm a few days behind, but I hope to catch up tomorrow.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you! And no worries, I see by the view count that a few people will be catching up on the weekend 😉

[@danyellemichele]

I adore this song!

[@kimber_ly___3117]

I did it!!! Loved this one 😊 I tagged you in my instagram story again but you never seem to notice (totally understandable!), probably also because of instagrams algorithm. But there are so many people posting and I love it 😊❤ So glad I started playing ukulele (almost 1 year ago now)

[@ankita-mishikar116]

This is one of my initial songs that I learnt but with simpler chords and a different strumming❤ This seems so beautiful and challenging. Will definitely try this one.

Gracias amiga me encanta genial super temazo feliz día guapa saludos desde Marbella besos y abrazos saludos allá

[@tapshoe999]

Thanks Bernadette I'm trying but when you start having us strum the song you take away the picture of where the fingers are supposed to be and being a beginner I can't remember where my fingers go so then I get lost and I can't play the song. We need to have the fingering up there to see. Thanks

[@rantes100]

At the end of the verses, I am confused with the Csus4-C7. Do we switch to C7 on the last strum of a strum sequence or do we do a full strum sequence?

[@kristinedraws]

Oof bar chords! I'll get it. what a pretty song.

[@rayv5417]

I can’t tell you disturbing it was at 2:15 when she was like “look up….” And I was still looking and my hands and she’s like “LOOK UP LOOK UP LOOK UP!” …. How. Did. She. Know!?

[@yanavo1kova]

It's dark screen since 12:54, is it right?
