This is the exact mix of songs i did for my winter concert and i just wish i could bring back all of my memories with my friends. I havent stopped singing both songs ever since and this is my absolute favourite. I cant say how happy i am to find this.😇:)

[@TennesseeGock]

Ukulaliens, this is beautifully done, thank you so much for sharing. 🌷 I also love that you included a preview of the first chord from the next page so we can play smoothly without interruption, how thoughtful!💖 Best wishes! 🍎🙏🏻

[@Ukulaliens]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danno4631]

This "Follow the bouncing ukulele" format is by far the easiest play along style I've seen. I love it! Thanks.

[@Ukulaliens]

You're very welcome!

[@fus149hammer5]

Three people got me into playing the uke. Joe Brown, George Formby and big Iz. Three different styles each beautiful in its own way.

[@jzillah22]

This is a great tutorial!! Simple, easy to follow and very clear!!

[@BonesDT]

I’m a complete beginner, but this is by far the best version and instruction for this song. All the other beginner versions don’t sound anything like this song. Would be nice if you could provide a printable version.

[@juanmelendez7372]

I like this more than print because you know when to play

[@juanmelendez7372]

And because you have music playing

[@ohmyjustme]

I agree. I would love a print out

[@SkipperKids]

Love this rendition! Thank you.

[@daniellim9943]

what a lovely song..thank you..really love your rendition

[@catbare]

Thank you so much for this! I've been looking for the combined song chords for a while. I had only seen the Over the Rainbow part.

[@Ukulaliens]

You're very welcome!

[@johnheasly7603]

Love the logo! And, of course, thanks for the song and chords!

[@award5143]

Just what I needed. Silence and birds.

[@morgandavidson7759]

made me almost cry

[@moon_child8179]

Wtf why

[@fus149hammer5]

Big Iz. Such a beautiful player with a beautiful voice. I only got into him quite recently being in the UK, I'm just sorry I'll never get to see him play.

[@deirdrejohnson3468]

@@moon_child8179 Because the one who originally sang this tune (to my knowledge), Louis Armstrong, made this recording in the 1950's. It's all in the voice of the singer, and a good singer will impart mood, so that it has the greatest effect on the listener. This is why a single song that was done by various artists, had different levels of success in sales.

[@wschield608]

I love classics! Thanks so much. Wes

[@antoniojbarrero]

[@ukulelehans1959]

Thank you so much . 🎶❤️

[@edgardoindolos4710]

Nice play along though a bit hard for me to follow the range of a man's voice - too low and quite high if I raise it to one octave😂 but I really love it and I learned easily how to play it with my ukelele.

[@ЮляЖданова-ю9ь]

At part “wonderful world” we play DDUUDU 2 times or 1?

[@DennisMoews-kr7wr]

Wie machst denn chuck so cool gut ??

[@cawleyjewellers4601]

This is brilliant, could you please let me know, is this played with a low G string and if so would it sound wrong with high G. Thanks for the video, I will give this a go.

[@Ukulaliens]

Hi, yes I think it was played with a low G but it sounds absolutely fine with a high G.

[@cawleyjewellers4601]

[@Ukulaliens]

Didnt even realize there was a seperate British and American kitchen nightmares.

[@Youtuberspartner]

Jag har den låten i läxa fast med andra akårder

[@Washman08]

Having trouble mimicking Iz's strumming

[@Ukulaliens]

When Iz played it, he used a low G string and I believe he plucks that on the first D strum.

[@deirdrejohnson3468]

@@Ukulaliens The other reason it's difficult, is that the ear hears the notes differently than what is actually played. I proved this once, by trying to play Los Indios Tabajaras' version of "Sentimental Journey"--which they played on two acoustic guitars on my stereo--and I was "accompanying" them on the piano. (Right hand only--I'm not THAT accomplished!) In order for it to "sound right," I had to go up two notes. F instead of E-flat, to be "in tune" with the piano. Then, I moved the piano. On a different note, the old "Craftsman's" cottage homes built in the early 1900's, had a window in the "Drawing Room," (what is now known as the "Front Room," where "no kids are allowed, because they'll break something!") called a "piano window," which was actually "pretty useless," because it didn't let in a lot of light, and it wasn't a window that could be opened. The bottom of the frame, was EXACTLY 54 inches from the floor, which was one inch above the top of the piano, hence the name. The shelf on that window, also held the priceless ornaments, that nobody was allowed to touch! They'd been passed down through the generations, and the girls were told: "Some day, these will be yours." It took ten years before we realized what that meant. I now have the window, the piano, and the ornaments.

[@southerngirlsociety]

Hey Aliens!! - can you re-teach this to us in the key of G!?! LOL! Some of us sing alto and below... I cannot sing this song in the key everyone keeps producing tutorials for!! I need something that is more on this tone - @

[@Ukulaliens]

Hi, I think you can change the chords in UKUTABS but I wouldn't be able to change to song pitch as the singing would end up really bad. Sorry.

[@elcangrejoviolinista]

I play the Intro like this: C Cm7 Am F, C G Am Fsus9 F F. 🤔

[@garyvanremortel5218]

Should have brushed up on the actual lyrics before going thru the trouble of recording it.
