CLOSE TO YOU with FREE song sheet ! Carpenters - Ukulele tutorial

[@juanpablosuarezbautista1993]

This tutorials are so good because you really go deep into detail rather than just showing the chords and star strumming

Hands down (not when I’m playing the ukulele) the best tutorial/teaching for any song I’ve found on KZbin ever! Thank you🙂

[@leahcortez8685]

Ooh! I want to add sparkle too now. Thanks for the prompt.

[@robbyroirivas5820]

I've been listening to you since you made a tutorial of moonriver and since then you've never failed to amuse me with your voice.

[@hilltownmama8971]

what's the fuel? lovely melody & the tranquility it brings and your clear explanation. your sense of humour makes learning less intimidating.

[@jla305]

Love your tutorials and beautiful voice! I've learned so much from you. Thank you

[@Fresh_Daisy501]

You made this vintage song sound so beautiful and fresh, even at 0.75 speed. Love the melodious true-to-song accuracy of those fringe chords. Subscribed.

[@cocoai6587]

Such a great arrangement you did for this song! I love this version of this song for Ukulele! Thank you!! start learning rn!

[@russelyngarcia5186]

You are such a great artist!

[@PattyRichardson1]

A great video! Thanks so much!!!!

[@radtechgurl]

i love how detailed u teach and the tone of ur voice matching the song! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@cccukeclass7598]

Great job! The uke does a surprisingly great job of hitting key elements of the original arrangement! There are some new chords, but after spending 10 minutes working on muscle memory I found them easy to add to my chord vocabulary! Thanks for taking the time to share your insight ~

[@Hairlem]

Instantly in Love 😍

[@wendymartin5915]

I start practicing on my Ukeley. Good very encouraging

[@lydiasevillena2608]

Thank you for all your lessons on your videos

[@JuniperCo]

This song is destined for the UKE 🎶🙏🏽💚 great thanks 😊

[@mopercival]

Only recently discovered you and have signed up as a Patron. What do I love (ie the important stuff)? Your arrangements, your sense of humour, your voice, the extra bits that you add to make the songs more interesting. What do I not love so much (much less important) your charts; I find them a bit confusing and sometimes find your handwriting hard to decipher on the chord names, especially when it gets really small. But I can always get around that and get the info I need, so it’s not a big deal. What matters is that I am loving your tutorials - merci bien!

[@BensUkeTutes]

Wohoo welcome Violando !!

[@G..G..]

Great class. Thanks.

[@andredemers69]

I am sooo happy to have found your tutorial; I have checked others a few months ago ans was not satisfied with the way the tutorials were made. I love the way you teach, in French and English (you speak those 2 languages so well!! :-O) I will be learning this song finally! Thank you, merciii!! ;-) Dominique

[@BensUkeTutes]

Glad you found it ^^

[@BillMontana]

Dear Friend, just found your channel. I was looking for a good arrangement of this song for a young female student and I am very happy to have bumped into you. Really appreciate your attention to detail. I will check out your other music and support you as I can. Thanks again.

[@BensUkeTutes]

Awesome ! see you soon then ^^

[@beautyandtheuke7608]

This is so pretty!

[@xingbrew4173]

"Bridges are usually over rivers" - haha good one! I just signed on as a Patreon! Thanks for your tutorials :)

[@elcirarussomano7746]

Loved your lesson and the tone of your voice! 🥰 Porto Alegre-RS Brazil here!

[@eulanegianpaolo3825]

Love it soo much... Thanks for sharing us watching from itqly

[@TeacherR]

Thank you very much!

[@gregorysavage7527]

Great joke about the bridge normally over rivers. Top tutorial btw. Go the sparkle!

[@scottspaldingofficial]

I really enjoyed that Ben, many thanks for sharing :) I am looking forward to learning it in the future :)

[@catherinezhou6195]

I love your version of this song (best ukulele tutorial version out there on KZbin). I also joined your Patreon so that I can download the sheet. A minor suggestion: could you please make the sheet music a bit easier to read? The blue color and the font makes the sheet a bit difficult to read once printed out.

[@BensUkeTutes]

ah I see, yes the newer ones, the chords are just black like the rest, I'll do the same to this one :)

[@johnrose9968]

OK, that’s it! For this song (and some others), I MUST get a second uke and string it with a high G! I usually play low G but this would be brighter and more fun with high G 😃

[@TheUkuleleBug]

Like 491! You are best Ukulele teacher on YT. I learnt a lot from you !! Merry Christmas!

[@BensUkeTutes]

Merry Christmas !! :D

[@ju4joy]

You make it looks so easy 🙈😅 My new dream is to learn this song!!! How should I start? I have an ukulele and I know nothing so far hahaha

[@KaliAngy]

how do you play the end of the bridge part

[@zbychtobola8689]

Bardzo pięknie

[@andredemers69]

Just a little comment: the rythm tatata-tatata-tatata is rather a 4 beat rythm, you can here it well with the strumming. ;-)

[@christianlamant]

Hello Ben, a-t’on accès à ces partitions avec un abonnement soprano ? Je ne saisis pas trop pourquoi Patreon me demande de re-souscrire un autre type d’abonnement pour y accéder.

[@BensUkeTutes]

Hello ! t'es sur ma chaîne anglophone là, c'est tout en anglais et c'est une autre page Patréon ( pour le francophone, c'est 'Ben au ukulélé' )

[@maryannebaker2790]

i get confused when it coms to bridge part huhu

[@G..G..]

Ben, is this song in the basic Patreon tier?

[@BensUkeTutes]

it sure is :)

[@G..G..]

@@BensUkeTutes Well I’m there like yesterday then…different Group :)

[@G..G..]

I joined. Thanks a bunch. I noticed at the end of the Close to you post was a mention of an Open mic. Do you have those for your Patreon members?

[@ascensionvaldes1412]

❤Are you English or French: you are a real bilingual🎉🎉

[@raffyalferez3960]

You should have not covered your hands with the lyrics!!!
