Take Me Home, Country Roads | John Denver | Baritone Ukulele Tutorial + Play Along

[@meower240]

I have a baritone ukulele and this is the first song I've worked on so far and it's very short but also a very good song. You never realize the actual length of a song until you start to sing and/or play it.

[@peewee2354]

Your singing is beautiful!

[@tammymakesthings]

Thank you so much for this! My baritone uke should be here this week, and this is going to be one of the first songs I learn to play. I’ve noodled at piano/keyboards off and on since a keyboard class in high school, but was always intimidated by learning stringed instruments. I’m 48 now, and a recent medical scare has convinced me to start doing the things I’ve always wanted to do, so I’m determined to learn, and I’m loving your videos!

[@darcygibbins6786]

u can do it

[@ShowAndTool]

I've enjoyed a few of your lessons, and am just blown away by your voice first time I'm hearing it!

[@annawiesenmuller6878]

I'm still strugglin with the F chord, but there is only one in this one 😊 You're a super teacher, thanks for uploading 🙏

[@anyasipivy7205]

I also really struggle with the F chord. I immediately cringe whenever I see it lol. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@retardtiger]

Stick with the F, I too am struggling but slowly improving, practice loads!

[@GuitarsNAmmo]

Bar the first fret with your index finger and then place the middle and ring finger on the next two notes. Makes it easier than just trying to bar the first fret on the B and E string.

[@jeweliarex2202]

Try the alternative f chord first finger on the first fret of E string then 2nd on G string and 3rd on C string. I struggled alot with chords and or switches between them due to small hands short fingers. Chord alternatives like this helped me this is officially D minor but will work as the alternative for F

I was not ready for your singing voice! Awesome!

[@ralphbarhydt8974]

Well, you can sing. Who knew? 😎

[@dainfuentes8168]

This is a phenomenally clear and informative lesson, to the point that you've made it look like everyone should be able to create this type of lesson for every song. Thanks!

[@JustNitro5]

i don’t have a baritone ukulele yet so i came here strictly for the singing 👏🏽

[@angelk5949]

Hello, Angel here from the Netherlands. I have so much fun playing the uke . The barritone as well as the tenor as the concert uke. Thanks to you and your KZbin lessons. I never thought I was able to play music. Now my life is one big song with different chords. But so fulfilling. Does that make sense? I have become a happy person singing all the time. Even at night when I wake up. So again: thank you.

[@001dburke]

Just got my baritone uke...looking forward to your lessons. I like your style. Thanks!

[@snoopaka]

[@ChristineB9046]

Thanks Kevin, for another great tutorial! Never really paid attention to this song before but now learning to play it with you and your lovely voice, makes me love it and Gosh, it makes me miss the great John Denver!

[@VanessaVortex]

Yay! Finally a nice succinct tutorial for baritone!

[@MasterK9Trainer]

That was fun and sounded great. I followed along with two other people and then decided to try your video. I literally purchased a uke earlier this evening. They had two left. I'm glad I didn't leave without one. Totally loved your tutorial even though I tried different strumming I began to learn the chords (learned a little guitar) which is something I really need.

[@jeweliarex2202]

I love this song and I have a soprano voice so I bought a ukulele f or my nonprofit school for music I'm building and what better way way to learn a song than to be able to alter the chords to make a vocal range fit for a classic song like this that every generation remembers

[@BillyBelle101]

Your voice made me melt. Makes me wanna do a duet with you. Ive been wanting to get a Baritone Uke for my lower register voice and this video made me sure about my decision

[@suedavis3525]

[@MichaelSmith-yy8fw]

Hey, that’s awesome. Heh, heh I still can’t play a D or an F chord properly but I can fake it so I’ll give this a try. It’s been a while and best wishes. MikeinMinnesota

[@slq3263]

Kevin I've emailed you regarding your uke site asking if there are many lessons for baritone ukes as I've just bought one and wanted to subscribe to a site where there are plenty of baritone lessons. Many thanks

[@ashzhu3085]

Wow. this is GOOD! You really deserve more viewers! Keep the goods things going!

[@scotthuish67]

I'm still waiting for my ukulele to arrive, but what I noticed from your chord charts is that they're just like the bottom 4 strings of a guitar, which I have some experience with, so that should help a lot.

[@kevindholakia7923]

awesome 👍👍...just as usual 😉

[@Juan_201x]

Epic ending cheers! man, nice amercan country ye haw!!!!!!

[@PP-bw8ig]

Thank you for your great tutorial. Fantastic song. Looking at the KZbin thumbnails of baritone uke players, I noticed that nearly all of the men have beards. Pourquoi?

[@theoriginalchaz3755]

any tips for getting the strum pattern down?

[@doug92704]

[@evanweston948]

I love the Kala but cannot afford to pay much more than $150 for a Baritone....any thoughts about where else to find one whose sound wont dissapoint?

[@evanweston948]

I am considering buying a Baritone. Since the strings are tuned differently than the other smaller UKes, How do you know which key to play when others are playing a different chord; ie. if a piece is in G what key do I play the Baritone?

[@Mark-sj3xb]

A baritone is tuned exactly like the top (higher pitched) 4 strings of a guitar. DGBE. So if the uke group is playing their G chord, you would play your D chord. Every chord they play you drop down 4 notes on the scale. Count the G as the first note and go down. G-F-E-D, D-C-B-A, and so forth

[@davidsullivan2742]

I joined your paid site yesterday. How many baritone songs do you have on your paid site? And are they organized by difficulty?

[@juliettakahashi6348]

How do you tune a baritone ukulele? I already own two ukuleles but am interested in learning how to play the baritone and thinking of buying one.

[@AllForUke]

It is tuned DGBE. The chord shapes will be the same, however the chords will have different names. You should check out some of my baritone videos and see if it interests you. Thanks for watching - Kevin | allforuke.com

[@Kalaki_ni_Ebel]

😮❤️

[@JonathanAcierto]

Don’t know if anyone else mentioned this, but IZ did a version of this song but changed the lyrics to be about Hawaii, so his version is even more appropriate for the uke.

[@pnevlud]

Can anyone tell me why my uke is humming. I am new to playing so I got a Kmise. Is it the uke or me ?

[@leatatalosaga5983]

👏🏻👏🏻👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻💞

[@sergiohebling6238]

Hi, Kevin. Whow are you? I'm thinking in use one of your arranjement for the Barítono in a solo presenteition in a ukuleles group tha i belong gere in Brazil

[@sergiohebling6238]

I mean herre in Brazil.. Do i have your permission, pleasy?

[@deryckclouter3462]

Still can't Barre

[@-sophia-3378]

I can’t do the f chord

[@goerkelgoerkeli]

oh my god, the F-Chord, that is the hardest, I cant play that

[@AllForUke]

Perseverance my friend :)

[@tedgottinger121]

There’s no reason no to barre the whole first Fret for the F.

[@meenakshiminnis9460]

It is how you'd play an Bb on a regular uke. Given the baritone is 5 semitones lower, that's how you do a F. Makes sense when you play it. Seems odd to start with, but is logical.

[@GebTuber]

You seemed to switch from the slow strumming demo to much faster when you played the song. That was not helpful. I think you need to break it down more and then show us how to speed up.

[@AllForUke]

I'll keep that in mind for future lessons. Thanks for the feedback! If you're looking for more learning resources including song sheets/tabs, lesson exercises, practice tracks and dedicated play alongs, drop by the AllForUke website and have a look around. All the best - Kevin | Allforuke.com

[@park5494]

I felt the same way, kinda got pissed off but realize hes giving out a free lesson so. My main gripe is not telling us when notes are one measure or two measures but at the end of the day we can use our ears and it just takes a little more work. You also don't inform of of the ending notes but again i guess we can just look. Played with the video about a hundred times before it started clicking.

[@mickwoods9751]

Dang this was really cool until I tried to play it with the actual song

[@geoffnoll7706]

Why do you call a 4 string Guitar a Baritone ukulele.?????

[@park5494]

It's called that way because it's in the same tuning as a guitar.
