The FIRST song you should learn on the ukulele! (You Are My Sunshine - Easy Tutorial)

[@GilGTG]

You were my first teacher on the internet. Seven years ago. Met a wonderful teacher in person. It's been my sunshine, my only sunshine sometimes... music is life

[@loriglass1]

I have probably sung this to my granddaughter 1,000 times. It is such a sweet song. Great to get kids to play the uke because they know it.

[@iza908]

the main reason i even got a uke is because i wanted to learn how to play tear in my heart by Twenty One Pilots. i got it, learned it, and kept learning different songs!

[@chantalsaulnier2746]

@Iza I just started 10 days ago. But I sure would like to know which tutorial you learned to play tear in my heart ❤️? 😊

[@irmaadams7780]

You inspired me to start bc I bought a ukelele - a pink one - 2 years ago but haven’t started. Thanks!!!

[@Pimp3Fly]

I got one for SpongeBob and tiny Tim music 😂😂😂

[@RonaldAndrew]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. My mom is my sunshine and now because of you she can listen to her baby boy play and sing for her. It's all because of you. I am her sunshine. It only took 61 years. I owe you big.

[@WJACOTT]

Oh man that was so sweet

[@emilymarsch4982]

I just bought a ukelele a bit ago and have been watching your videos religiously since then. Steven Universe actually inspired me to buy a ukelele and I’ve watched all of your SU videos MANY times, and I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on “Be Wherever You Are” or “We Are the Crystal Gems” (especially the version with young Steven!!) Thank you so much for making these videos, they’re by far the most helpful tutorials on how to play ukelele that I’ve found

[@lamefantom]

First I learned was The judge by TØP from your tutorial. So thank you for helping me

[@Tabroski]

I was not prepared for that epic arrangement at the end of the video. You had me head banging to " You Are Me Sunshine" lol Great video.

[@lauraclegg794]

I was told at school in music I was tone deaf so never tried. Now at 44 I'm trying to learn Ukelele. Away to try follow this lesson as only done chord progression so far. Also have arthritis in my hands but probably the more I play, my hands will get faster. I hope so anyway. Thanks for making these tutorials

[@jordananschutz4197]

Thanks teach good first lesson.

[@amberschwartz6316]

I just started ukelele, and I've loved your tutorials! I'm so excited this came out, but it will be my third song instead 😆 (if you count twinkle twinkle and the ABC's as two separate songs... Which, you know, they aren't really! 😆)

[@smile30981]

Awesome lesson, I just unboxed my first ukulele AND played my very first song 😊. Thank you for the lesson!

[@Thrasher9258]

This is still too hard 😂

[@WestonMeyer]

Ikr😢

[@anthonyfowler2623]

Too fast but good strumming pattern

[@waggz04]

I'll never get it😂

[@MJ-fn6nr]

Too fast for me too ..I slowed playback speed to .75

[@AlexDiAngelo-hk2kp]

Same!!

[@catherinechiong5848]

My first song in ukulele was Happy birthday then this! Thank you! I subscribed! Beginner learner from Taiwan!

[@crixster]

This was the very first song i learnt a year ago! Awesome starter cause you can play so many others songs with the same 3 chords

[@deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee99]

Hi John ! It’s Deepa here, We used to work together at rbkc ! My daughter is learning the uke from your tutorials ! Great work and It’s lovely seeing you again !!!

[@azrai9372]

Thanks so much easy for me to catch the lesson

[@lidiamaffettone7660]

Thanks 🙏❤️

[@SelaLave-sx9on]

You are very best teacher ❤

[@stephaniepribble3576]

Thank you so much for your videos and I am learning so much. I am struggling with keeping time when strumming fast. Any tips?

[@legbot124]

Hey brother can you teach me how to play flow around the country by Christopher if that’s possible

[@peepeepoopoo4990]

fuck thats a good idea

[@harveytheparaglidingchaser7039]

Yes, my first Ukulele song. Cheers

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Congrats - here’s to many more! 😃👍

[@veero8130]

This was very easy and nice 🤗

[@lilyvalley3874]

I would love a tutorial for: > Blackbird by the beatles > Mmm mmm mmm mmm by crash test dummies > Still Alive & Want You Gone from Portal 1&2 > Maple Leaf Rag > Twelfth Street Rag

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Crash Test Dummies are one of my favourite bands - I’m surprised I haven’t done that one yet!

[@Wesleyfungaming]

Yes agreed

[@jsstories9577]

2:14 where first song starts 3:45 where 2nd song starts

Paranoia In b flat major by Avett Brothers

[@TTV_vcrxzys_playz]

Im still struggling a bit but I think I did pretty good so thx

[@catarinagoncalves5966]

I'd love to know how to play fools gold by one direction but i can't find a turorial for ukelele that sounds close to the original song Have you consider do one of that song?

[@VonBriest]

I think the song(s) you should learn first are songs that you just really wanna play and don't are too hard on beginners...It keeps you motivated. I could never motivate myself to practice "you are my sunshine " :D That's why I started with Radioactive, Wellerman and Pocahontas (german Song by AnnenMayKantereit). But as usual - great video! Btw: From personal experience I can also recommend to have a song that you practice every day in fingerstyle... It's just so different from "Chord-play" and for me it really helped with my hand coordination and also chord-switching.

[@Rattyaxn]

Love your tutorials! Could you make a simple and advanced tutorial for Always With Me, from the movie Spirited Away?

[@mustafajabbar4104]

It's very easy for a guitar player as i get it.

[@davidevans2653]

I was so confused why it seemed harder than it should be and why I couldn't make it sound the same. So I watched and listened on .20 speed. He's not actually strumming the same patten he explained. There are extra notes and some times he squeezes in a full extra beat

[@janae.9063]

Omg thank you! It's my first song to learn on the ukulele and I have a really hard time matching his tempo. The step from the first strumming pattern to the second one really threw me off. It was just too fast and I was so confused because it sounded really different😅 This would explain why it felt so weird (apart from my noob-ness)

[@juliussalabe4993]

can u do tutorial for TØP acoustic covers🙏

[@qwimby]

can you do a tutorial on “lover” by call me karizma please

[@edwardamit]

can you do I'll come back to you by powf

[@Fuxor7]

Imo the first one (and most recognizable) is ... Riptide . I would still probably bring my uke and somehow play it decently . But that's me.

[@theycallmespooksmcgee]

The first songs i learned on ukulele were steven universe and adventure time songs 😊❤️ Oh and TØP hehe

[@aljodavlog5469]

How much that ukulele you used?

[@marcusisntweird]

[@FrederickFORD-f3d]

Like how you teach. I would like to subscribe and learn to play "Leaning on a lamp post " by George Formby. Thank you.

[@squertle3349]

Can you teach "Worlds smallest violin" pls

[@paulmccafferty4335]

Anyone can play the Uke, honestly its not difficult, you can learn 3 to 4 very easy chords and play hundreds of songs, just have a bit of patience, bit of time to learn and you will be grand Use a light pick as its sometimes easier for some people, and have a tuner clipped to your Ukelele, keep checking you are in tune, G,C,E,A Good luck, spend 20/30 mins per day for a week and you will have 10 songs by the end of it, Go for it, let me know how you got on 💚

[@Serenades420]

I love you you are so so sweet! Thank you for teaching us poor peasant nooblings 😊☺️❤️hahaha💜

[@Fire_Phoenix_740]

I find it so hard to strum upwards without a pick

[@ClarissaMaus-fc2vn]

The only chord I have a problem with is the g chord it always sounds bad only sometimes I strum it properly and it sounds nice and every beginner song has this chord I swearrr :(

[@KyleCayog-u7v]

Changing to G is Hard

[@Grace-hn3jy]

Yeah😊

[@lv2rdhonu783]

👏🏻👏🏻❤❤🎶🎶☺☺

Can you do a tutorial for "On a Tropical Island" from adventure time?

[@BeautyandtheBayNL]

Too fast for beginners

[@arriapantea2308]

Not very easy

[@jasonknotts5001]

Learning an instrument is inherently difficult, and this is as easy as it gets.

[@pameladavis9939]

​@@jasonknotts5001 I disagree, this made me confused and now I want to quit! It's too much to fast!! 😕

[@aquaepz]

@@pameladavis9939 then watch a different tutorial?? everyone gets better if they practice

[@pameladavis9939]

@@aquaepz I did and I do☺️
