As a (still learning) keyboardist looking to branch out and expand my horizon a bit, i've gotta say, i'm pretty chuffed with how much musical knowledge is transferable. I mean, mechanically, plucking strings is of course utterly different to pressing keys, but it turns out that all the background theory knowhow is perfectly applicable on many other instruments. Big confidence boost, there, 'cause i figured it'd be like learning right from scratch, again. :)

[@joebean3615]

I know! My brother plays piano so I just learn songs from transferring the chords it’s pretty cool that you can do that

i got a ukulele for christmas as never learnt and this quarantine got me determined to now

it is much nicer to learn in your own pace.

I am going to have to watch this over and over and over again, after my finger tips have feeling in them again. Andy sure does make it easy to follow along with. Thanks Andy for putting these out!

My boyfriend just gave me a ukulele as a Christmas present (merry Christmas to all btw) and I'm really glad I found your videos. I wanna play a song to him on his bday in February.

[@sianclayton765]

I'd try swapping where your 1st and 2nd finger are - that's how I've always played G and found his way slightly more difficult. It's whatever feel most comfortable for your hands, I suppose :D

[@jacquelynnmuller7736]

difficut to learn the G...hard to bend the finger in that position

Thank you for putting up your free 10 day course for us to learn on KZbin. Hope you're having an awesome. Meanwhile, I'll go practice some more. Thanks again. -Jan

I’ve watch many hours of how to guitar videos. Recently picked up the Uk. I found this video very helpful. The video work is very good. Zooming on the Uk at the right moments when I needed a closer look. He does a really good job of explaining things simply in a way that I can understand. I really like that he is throwing in the beat to the songs too. Sort of getting you started on the intermediate track. Which will help you learn faster. Teaches you 3 cords, making them fun to practice trying these simple songs. I would recommend this video to anyone starting out. Specially liked the Beatles thrown in there at the end. 🤘🏻

Hi! I just got my ukelele in the mail and started with THIS video! Within an hour I was on the phone playing a rendition of twist and shout with my mom, who knew what it was right away and started to sing along. This is good medicine! Thank you so much for providing these videos!

I started playing at the start of 2023 and I learned how to play ukelele thanks to you and it's one of the things I enjoy doing most now and I can not thank you enough I watched the entire course and I will pick your tutorials if I feel like playing more instruments in the future. Now I am going to proceed to like the entire course.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANDY!! I am so thankful to God I found you... I have been trying to practice ukelele off and on for many years... mostly off than on... all the tutorials I found have been pretty daunting but you make it so easy and explain things very well. I found your advice on resting the neck on my palm and my thumb on the top to be VERY VALUABLE. something I didnt receive in other tutorials.... I am definitely tuned into your channel... thank you and God bless you!!!

[@AbbyCackowski-Schnell]

For anyone with small hands: When holding the uke and you have small hands like me, hold your thumb on the middle on the back of the neck, not the top. You'll have better reach 🙂
