Toxicity - System of a Down ukulele tutorial

[@1997AlexB]

I watched this a few months ago and thought it was the hardest thing ever to play. Gave up after 1h of trying. Came back to it and now I learned how to play the whole thing in less than a day. Found it very easy and fun to play. Much love and thanks.

[@pocketbeats7949]

That's awesome Alex, well done for sticking at it =)

[@Mommy_Paladin]

I am SO relieved to see that someone strums like me (I've only been playing for 3 months and I am needing a challenge) I thought I was just being an idiot....THANK you for this its amazing and one of my very fav songs!!!

[@ukecando]

Jax1108 Awesome :) I think it's good to develop a style that works for you, everyone has their own unique approach, happy I could help

[@ddriscool11]

thank you for this tutorial I can't wait to bust this out in front of my family haha.

Holly Robertson you're very welcome Holly!

Holly Robertson did you burst it out

Holly don't forget to watch them with eyes upside down... ;)

[@calebglover2929]

What an amazing tutorial. I've been playing the Ukulele a short time but was able to follow along perfectly. Please keep up the good work covering my favorite songs!

[@ukecando]

Caleb Glover Thanks for the encouragement Caleb, really appreciate it :) Currently working on a tutorial for Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare which is a fun challenge!

[@aloser8703]

Suddenly was curious what System of a Down would sounds like on a ukalele. No way someone has done that though. Checked KZbin and here it is lol

[@ukecando]

Heh heh, I wonder what Metallica would sound like...

[@MKFingerstyleAcademy]

This deserves more views! I'm inspired to try to make my own arrangement now but I can never beat that smooth percussion you've got

[@ukecando]

Thanks so much :) A while back I had fun learning to play this song (badly) on a drum kit as well and I think that helped me to adding in some of the drum 🥁 parts!

[@johanneslaudi6184]

very nice tutorial. i learned it pretty well within 2 hour.. now i can play a song :DD

[@h0ot3r]

Im glad you can. Im on day 2 of owning my first uke and learning this song as my first lmao. Cant get the string order right. Yet.

[@santiagoaramburu7802]

Wow I didnt realize you were a small youtuber! Best tutorials i've seen!!! Keep on the ahrd work! Btw the name of the channel is just perfect! You rock!! (Or better, you uke!!)

This is a great tutorial! My pinky is too crooked and weak to do the second part. Sigh. The challenge of having a bone condition. I will keep trying.

[@AnutamMajumder]

Man...this is amazing!

[@Averell64]

great tutorial, but there is a small mistake in the variation of the second bar in the second intro part in your Google doc tab. but that really is the only critique I have, the rest was absolutely great. I learned this within a day even though I never touched a ukulele before :). thank you so much!

[@ukecando]

Averell Dalton You're very welcome Averell, glad this helped! Thanks for the feedback I will take a look at that :)

[@S1lenc31991]

Awesome! Is there a way to play the Chorus without all these Bar-chords? im quite new and they destroy me :(

[@lil_suga]

It may seem difficult but with tons of practice and dedication you'll definitely get the hang of it! I hated bar chords, I could never nail them, my notes would always buzz or mute but I kept practicing and now my bar chords sound average lol, uke can do it!

Can you please explain the fourth part of the intro in a more simpler way? Having trouble playing that

I will certainly try, please can I check which part you mean exactly? e.g. which bit do you mean in this document: docs.google.com/document/d/1mqmFULcfpFXaVKePkdY6WB_UsfkOPr5KkWS01p5OlFk/edit

[@Lovercraft378]

Thank you

I want to be able to play this so bad, but im hung up on the intro., maybe I have the crappiest Uke in the world, or a weirdly sized one... My hand will NOT assume the fretboard positionaing for bar 4

[@ukecando]

yes this is tricky - do you mean this part here --> 4:15 with the bar on the 3rd fret?

[@trippietragedy9188]

@@ukecando Yep. The crease on my finger inhibits me from applying pressure on the first string during the bar... Thus its just muted. Im going to work on it as much as possible. I think I have a soprano Uke, so its a bit large and in charge, and my hands arent very dextrous seeing as I am a beginner. I love your videos though, and thank you so much for the tutorials!

[@ukecando]

@@trippietragedy9188 I'm sure this will improve with practice, one tip is to turn your first finger a little so you are pressing the strings down with the edge of your finger, not your pads - this video explains it well :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5-xfpJmhreqgck

[@anonima3180]

muy bueno el tutorial, pero lo malo es que deberías explicar más lento con las manos. para los que no sabemos hablar inglés!

[@ukecando]

Muchas gracias! Lo siento por ir demasiado rápido, en mis tutoriales recientes puse las tablas de acordes en la pantalla para que sea más fácil de entender. Todo lo que puedo sugerir para estos viejos videos es hacer clic en el engranaje y seleccionar una velocidad de reproducción de video más lenta. Espero que esto ayude, Dave (y gracias traductor de google :))

[@smilesformiles8193]

I can't quite get down the 4th bar of the intro 😣

[@ukecando]

Yes that's got to be the trickiest part, when I get stuck I find it helps to play really slowly - snail's pace - and sound out each individual note, then repeat. Hope this helps :)

[@smilesformiles8193]

UkeCanDo I'll keep at it and give that a try. Thank you!!

[@WDFishing23]

Couldn't learn crap, your fingers where in the way, you went way too fast and I couldn't even see what frat to hold down

[@ukecando]

Hi Jafbo, sorry to hear that. Here are some suggestions: - in the description under the video there's a link to the tab that tells you which fret to play - it's possible to slow the video down if you click/tap on the cog (Settings) icon on the screen and select Playback speed e.g. 0.75 / 0.5 Hope this helps :)
