I like how people use different chords for the same sound, i like to look around for one that sounds most like what i hear in my head i think i like this version better thank you

[@staciasmaleshill6432]

Great lesson, Stu - and thank you for letting us say goodbye to your hair, knowing it’s going to go to some great homes. We need more contagious kindness in the world. ❤❤❤

[@UkuleleZen]

Glad you enjoyed the Lesson and thanks so much for making music with my videos! Thank you for your kind message. Wishing you all the best 🙏😊🎶

[@robertlyle6277]

When I first viewed the video my first thought was “Wow, your hair is getting really long”! God Bless you for donating to Locks of Love.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I haven’t had short hair since 1999!

[@jillhumphrys8073]

WOW! Thank you so much for your donation! My granddaughter has been trating for leukemia 3 years and ia now officially off treatment. She will be 8 in February. She did lose her hair but did not care if she had hair or not. Lol But an adult might care. You have beautiful hair Stu!

[@UkuleleZen]

I'm sorry to hear about this Jill -- my heart goes out to your granddaughter ❤️🙏. I hope she is doing well in the midst of all that cancer takes from us. All Blessings, Stu

[@jillhumphrys8073]

@@UkuleleZen thanks so much Stu. But it's been a good ride. My daughter and her husband clung to each other and it has bonded them like crazy. If a child is going to have cancer, leukemia is the one to have. Idk about others, but she had zero pain and ,being an only child, soaked up the attention. The whole thing was a fun time for her and all her caregivers just loved her as she is a social butterfly. She is good and still young enough to be a kid for a while?

[@AnBerfelo]

😢I love your hair❤

[@UkuleleZen]

It's still there...just on the inside ;-)

[@user-kl6vz1fb8y]

Yes, I was at the original Woodstock!

[@EmeraldIslebeauty]

You're such a wonderful teacher and person! Thankyou. And whomever receives your hair will be receiving your awesomeness. ❤ Bye locks of love and love to the person. Healing vibes being sent.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thank you very much for your kind words… And thanks so much for making music with my videos. Happy jamming!

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

Ha ha, Stu, you’re killin me. Our band, Ladies of Uke started doing this lovely song late last year. We don’t have that nice little ukulele break though…..yet. I gave Locks of Love my hair a few years ago. It’s very rewarding, and it does grow back.

[@UkuleleZen]

Very cool Nickie! I hope this tutorial helps everyone to learn it, and to have a solid play along track for their home study… Feel free to share it with everyone of course 😉 glad you made your donation!

[@npgibson69]

Thanks for the hair donation! Shaving it all off? Great song selection today. *Chronic lymphoma runs in my family, but I never had any hair to loose.

[@UkuleleZen]

Just cutting it close… Thanks very much for watching and playing along. Wishing you good health in the years to come 🙏

[@Sir-Uke-A-Lot]

Hi Stu!! I absolutely love this song. We play it lots in one of my ukulele groups that I teach at the seniors centre. Yes, I was definitely at Woodstock. CSN & Y were one of my favourite sets from then. They were incredible. It was certainly a much different time, then. And like their song, I "(Almost) Cut My Hair" except that I did and for the same reason that you are cutting yours. Their music just keeps getting richer and richer and more meaningful. Thank you so much for doing this tutorial for us all to get out there and sing/play this song far and wide. Dwell in Trust, Peace and Love, brother!!

[@percythefisherman]

Thanks a lot. I saw their record in a music shop window in the 60’s. I had no idea of the group, I just loved the cover. Music was a revelation!

[@UkuleleZen]

Wow - there's a great story of finding some meaningful music! Thanks Percy :-)

[@roadgoat88]

Wow Stu congratulations what a beautiful gesture for cancer victims.

[@UkuleleZen]

Just doing a little something :-) Wishing you well!

[@priscillahudson3625]

Nice! Thank you! ❤

[@hellinahandbasket2]

Woodstock was in the middle of August and my baby was due in the beginning of September so nope, I didn’t make it. (It was all I could do to get out of a chair.) I was there in spirit though and have been ever since. ❤

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks for sharing! You made the right choice of course 😊

[@SaxeGrove]

Happy New Year 🎉 Respect for your decision, as my wife is a cancer survivor ❤

[@UkuleleZen]

Many thanks and blessings for you and your wife!

[@JohannesHeld]

Vielen Dank für das Video. Es macht mir Freude deine Begeisterung mitzunehmen! Danke!

[@UkuleleZen]

Thank you Johannes! Dank je Vel!

[@skylarking12]

And feed them all your beans... this is one of our uke band's crowd-pleasers. We do the middle part a capella with the same harmonies as the originals. Thanks for this take on it; I will concentrate on the picked open and closing to "up our game" next season.

[@UkuleleZen]

Very cool… Please feel free to share this video with your fellow players. I like the variation on the lyric too 😂

[@AUSomeOpossum]

Thanks for sharing this Stu! I've been away for far too long but im getting right back in and what a perfect video for it. Cant wait to see the new do 🤟

[@rogerbm505]

Thanks Stu, you’re awesome teacher😀love this song👏

[@LauPau911]

Happy New Year, Stu! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I applaud your decision to donate your beautiful hair. I've done it twice myself.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks for your donations! Happy new year!!

[@esthert6416]

Gréât lesson, Love this song and the way you jazzed it up❣️

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks very much! Happy jamming 🤙😃🎶

[@marlo5239]

Absolutely Fabulous…. The song that You won’t get tired of listening to. The beauty of this song makes me want to 😭😭 . Thank You Stu for the Great music and Lessons. You’re Absolutely an awesome Teacher. Have A Blessed Wednesday 👍👍❤️🙏 7:38

[@UkuleleZen]

Thank you so much!! Grateful for you! 🙏

[@AmpuTeeHee]

Great tutorial & bye bye hair! (what a great cause!) No, I wasn’t at Woodstock (I was 2) but I DO have a photo of him standing right behind me at a small music festival where he was artist in residence. I asked him if I could take a selfie of us and he said “Sure!” and then looked away 😂 …but it’s an artsy dashing side-view 😂 NOW! Onto practicing this song! 💛

[@UkuleleZen]

You were at Woodstock as a toddler? Wow! Thanks so much for joining in! Enjoy jamming this song - please click subscribe for more videos like this one 😊

[@lisajacobs4173]

Hi Stu - I enjoy watching your KZbin channel! I am curious as to what brand of ukulele you often play - the uke in this video, with the “g” on the headstock. It looks custom, and sounds great!

[@dirkiedenh]

I think the song is nog written by bthe late great David Crosby but by the still living Graham Nash. He was in Eindhoven a couple of months ago and still fabulous

[@louisab.2828]

Hi Stu love the finger picking pattern to one of my FAV CSN song. I can follow your hands but am I missing something in tabs? Doesn’t seem to be same pattern. Probably me…

[@jorgequito9562]

Happy new year You are great, you have a big heart. How do you like soprano ukuleles? As a I am looking for one, one that sounds like a concert; I just like the size.

[@JohannesHeld]

Then you should look into the so-called Longneck Sopranos. They have the Mensur (lenght of neck) as a concert ukulele but the body size of a sopran ukulele. In fact they are small-bodied concert ukuleles, as the length of the stings dictate a lot of the sound. I tried a Millar one. Very nice tone and built - but I missed the punch and tone of the Sopran scale.

[@UkuleleZen]

I love soprano sized Uke and I enjoy all sizes of Ukulele… I don’t have time to make baritone lessons, and I don’t plan very much… I usually play classical guitar 😉 happy new year and happy jamming!

[@putvogel25]

happy new year & yes, donate your hair :-)

[@UkuleleZen]

Deal! ;-) Happy new year to you!

[@friderikehirsch-wright6055]

Oh, no, don't cut all your hair off! It's so lovely.

[@UkuleleZen]

Thanks...It can grow back...perhaps someday!

[@1965nterp]

I had long hair about 20 years ago I decided to shave it off I have hair now but when I shaved it off I went to work in a public school a student saw me and said in a loud whisper "awŵ ohh no caaaaancerrrrr" I approached her and said I don't have cancer, she looked at me and said "you heard that?" I said "yes as a matter of fact all of the students heard you
