Let me just say how nice it is to come across a video teaching you how to play the Luke w/o feeling dumb or discouraged. Thank you! :)

What Is A luke

[@jessielord5826]

You put teaching this into words I can understand, all other ones have left me thinking "What did I even watch?" Thank you.

[@stevenyallop5345]

SAMMMME LOL I only new u needed a tuner yesterday !Reeeeee (Knew)

[@MidnightOpal]

I've watched so many tutorial videos on how to start off playing the uke like it's no big deal, and only yours included all the details I needed. I just got the Luna Tattoo Concert Ukulele, and I love it! Thanks to your tips, I can finally play it and advance my skill as I go. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video like this for us beginners, I appreciate it! One request -- could you create a tutorial for some more tøp songs? A few I suggest are House of Gold, The Judge, We Don't Believe What's On Tv, Tear In My Heart, and Johnny Boy, but those are just a few to begin with.

[@MidnightOpal]

Pavlos Aristotelous Yeah, I know. Thanks for mentioning that! At first I got a bit discouraged, but after a little over a month, I've gotten the hang of most simple chords and have gotten better at strumming, though I still can't play and sing at the same time. Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to check the site out!

[@refrigeratorskates492]

Makayla Scull i know this is late, but there's a free app called Uketabs that is FANTASTIC!! Go try it!

[@fern1211970]

You are awesome 🎸🎸🎸👍

[@petshopgpg]

thanks! very helpful

[@Villigeris]

Hey man, can you do a ''5000 candles in the wind'' tutorial?

[@naghamadil9323]

Thank you so much .. ❤️❤️

[@sman6000]

I have the same Uke but Acoustic Electric :D

[@morgan-jd5ws]

im stressing out because im trying to play the chords that you showed in the video in the exact same formation as you but they all sound deeper and weirder, and i never tried to tune my uke because i dont want to mess it up. my strums when in a formation sounds horrible and deeper than what you played.

[@doulx92]

unfortunately you HAVE to tune your uke every couple times you even play a song. Try looking online for tuners or for beginners try getting a digital tuner. tuning is a must it will never stay perfectly tuned! hope this helped you.

[@morgan-jd5ws]

Denny Oul i tried. thanks

[@markowen3992]

maybe you have a different type of ukulele...

[@vanilla7266]

was about to say that, could be a slightly bigger one giving a lower tone, like a tenor, or concert,

[@chrismurray1053]

i have tried to tune it and yet I still have the same problem

[@simonhisted2840]

This helped a lot thank you

[@ImNotAmazing]

Thanks a bunch, this video was much easier for me to grasp. My only problem now is I think I didn't tune my uke correctly. x.x You've earned a sub though!

[@クララ-u8i]

you can buy a tuner it's much easier

[@ImNotAmazing]

I'm saving up for one now actually. :)

[@adinamusrepova1447]

+ImNotAmazing there are a bunch of nice tuning apps out there. Trust me, there is nothing worse then a detuned instrument ;)

[@nataliebeachy9914]

+ImNotAmazing they are under 10$ especially on Amazon, I think tuning is the most important thing to get done first, you don't want to get used to not having it tuned

[@Metanoia77777]

You remember me on myself before my parents discovered Ritalin. But good explained! Thumbs Up!! :)

[@annabellequiambao8894]

Who is this??

[@mikinzieperry2768]
