That's a good idea to make the play alongs in bold!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Ah! Thank you, @@11jokerchen11! I didn't know if anyone would notice or like it. Thank you 😊

[@kriskanan9497]

Wowwie, this one was fun!! The chord changes are tricky but rewarding when you finally get it!! Thanks for challenging us Ms B!! The modern day four chord songs are going to seem like a breeze to play after this challenge!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Yes!! Lots of chord changes! You made a great observation, Kris. When I first started learning to play ukulele, I learned with Beatles songs, so that's what I thought playing the ukulele required. When I looked up famous pop songs, I was surprised at how simple they were because I had spend my time playing Beatles songs. After this challenge, you will see a big change in your playing

[@arc1105]

Hi Ms.B, See ya, Bye. You're right. Too abrupt. Sounds so much better letting the last note linger as we bask in the loving applause. Nice flow to this challenge. Each song laying a foundation which has helped with the challenging chord changes. This is a beautiful song. Thanks Ms B. A snowy Sunday here, oh how I long for sunny Yesterday. 😃

[@BillHart_Family_Friends]

When I think Beatles, "Yesterday" is the song that always rises to the top. This is a great lesson; thanks!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Bill! Yes, this is one of their most iconic songs. Glad you liked this lesson :)

[@hanimoon1422]

Probably my favorite Beatles song too! Thank you for the tutorial! This is quite easy to follow and still capture the beautiful melody, that I didn’t expect were able to be translated in the ukulele ❤️❤️

[@SeanVplayer]

Morning all! Great lesson, Great song! Yesterday is the only Beatle song that doesn't have ANY of the other Beatles on it, just Paul, (and a string quartet). It was originally only released in the U.S. as a single in Sept. 1965. It wasn't released as a single in the U.K. until Feb. 1976. Paul woke with this song in his head, he has a piano in his room next to the bed, so he quickly wrote it down. For quite a while he thought he had possibly heard it somewhere else before but none of his acquaintances had so he worked it into a song. Originally the working title was Scrambled eggs, ("Scrambled eggs, how I love your legs"). So thankfully he changed those lyrics!!! He recorded this melancholy song a couple of hours after recording I'm Down, (a song that is somewhat brutal on the throat). Released Sept. 13, it hit the Top 40 on Oct. 2, stayed on the charts for 9 weeks, was #1 for four weeks. This is the most covered pop song of all time, with over 3,000 versions recorded according to The Guinness Book Of World Records. This was the first Beatles song to capture a mass adult market. Most of their fans were young people to this point, but this song gave the band a great deal of credibility among the older crowd. When producer George Martin first suggested adding a string quartet, Paul McCartney responded; "Oh no, George. We are a rock 'n' roll band and I don't think it's a good idea." (That's also a part of the reason it wasn't initially released as a single in the U.K.). Looking forward to tomorrow's lesson Ms. Bernadette. Cheers!

[@cherrytang1946]

SeanVplayer, I remember this story! “Scrambled eggs. Oh, my baby, how I love your legs.”🎶🎵

[@alexisleona]

I ❤ the mini history lessons. Another clever tidbit I learned from a voice professor in college. As this is a popular song built upon a major scale, it's a great vocal learning tool. In fact, I saw this professor coach a man who was nearly tone deaf to sing Yesterday in tune. #flabbergasted Perhaps Mrs. B will do a tabulature bonus video to demonstrate some theory behind this.

[@geralynpalacol9295]

WOW, this is very interesting! Thank you for sharing this:) Appreciate it!

[@davidcarbin3307]

Wow, my favourite Beatles song, I will be working on this one all day!! 😊😊😊

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Ah no way! Glad I taught it :) Have fun today!

[@cherrytang1946]

Oh, Ms. B, I love how you keep switching ukuleles for us to see and hear! Demonstrating on different ukes, however, makes me a) change my mind as to which one to purchase, or b) want them ALL! I wish I lived closer to a reputable ukulele dealer.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Ahahaha! That's so funny, Cherry! I actually plan on giving most of these away, so I'm trying to play with them on the channel so that I can later reference them!

[@latonyawilliamson9014]

Thank you for sharing your love of music & ukulele!!!!!!!!! Your the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you for being here, Latonya Renee ;)

It's 9 pm here,can't wait to learn another new song.Everyday is an exciting day especially waiting for your new tutorial.Thanks Miss B and love you so so much!Big teddy bear hug to you.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Wow, big time difference now! We used to be so much closer. Have fun with this one ;)

[@strikingtiger-filipinomart5043]

Great job on this! I'm your humble student for life! Thank you for sharing!

[@latonyawilliamson9014]

I'm still practicing & enjoying the chord challenge s !!!! I love this song 2, I just recorded it on the flute ! I've played the flute all my life practically !!!! The ukulele 🎹 🎼 is awesome too. I love performing & I will try 2 record & show you my progress! MUSIC IS MAKES MY HEART SING!!!!! Luv ya always, Latonya Renee Williamson

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Oh wow! The flute?! That's awesome. That takes a lot of endurance! You are awesome :)

[@ronnieball9086]

Beautiful! I'm catching up on the videos today (I got distracted looking at chords for Beatles songs half way through and have been trying a few random songs out). I'll be playing this slowly at first to get the changes to Bb nice and clear.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Ronnie! How are you doing? Which Beatles songs have you been trying out?

[@ronnieball9086]

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Hi! I'm doing well (even if I can't sleep). Hope you're doing well and settling in well after the move. Some of the songs I have been played around with like Yesterday have come up in the challenge, but I've also been trying to play All My Loving, Revolution, Across The Universe, With a Little Help from my Friends, A Day in the Life and Dear Prudence. Some are beyond my level of comfort and skill to play, but I'm enjoying exploring new song and they're still less intimidating than my favourite Queen and Pink Floyd songs.

[@geralynpalacol9295]

Yayyyy! Loooooove this song! (Was just about to😴😴😴....but had to take a peak); BeautiFULL💖Looking forward to working on this one, Thanks "Coach"!!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Geralyn!!! Sweet dreams :)

[@kaylcz]

I think this was the first Beatles song I really knew. Still getting to know them now. I'm struggling with the Bb in the songs so will need to practice a lot on this one too..

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hold the Bb shape and keep strumming anyway. With time and practice, you'll grow stronger and the note will ring. Have you had the string height on your ukulele checked out? 🤔

[@kaylcz]

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic wil definitely keep working on it! I own a flight NUS310 and don't know it string hight can be an issue with it? I could ask a guitar shop to look at it, but I have yet to find a shop close enough to my home that actually sells and knows about ukes.

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Yay, I can't wait to work on this one. 😊

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

it's a beautiful piece 💛

[@Kevin-nr9lj]

Yaay.. The Wendy Moth Uke :D I love this song. The chords and melody are so good :) Great lesson again for Day 8.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hahaha yes, the Wendy moth uke! 🌺 I love this song too :)

[@yinyue9664]

Woww I love this song so much 😍is great , I can't wait to try out , thanks

[@11jokerchen11]

Wow those are a lot of chord changes jesus 😅 I love this song sooo much, it's just so beautiful and melancholic. When I was briefly in the school choir we did this song and it (along with other Beatles songs) was the only song I could sing back then with my limited and low vocal range.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

😂 it wouldn't be a Beatles song if it had fewer chord changes... Hahaha jk they have some EASY ones, but you kind of need a harmonica or tambourine to keep them interesting as a solo performance. Looking forward to seeing your video of this one on instagram!!! 😃

[@11jokerchen11]

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Yeah most songs are surprisingly hard to reduce to one instrument, but that's what makes their music so interesting! I try and upload my versions within 24 hours of the tutorial coming out 😁 This seems pretty straightforward, only practicing fast chord switches

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

@@11jokerchen11 yep! Pretty straightforward. Let the word or syllable guide your chord change and you'll be set ;)

[@surajunnikrishnan7587]

you are so pretty ... thanks for covering this so precisely

[@lovelystar1620]

Wow some quick cord changes this time, but you know I'm up for a challenge.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Lovely Star yeah!! Quick changes! I found that if I let the lyrics guide my chord changes, I did better. Use the words as landmarks.

[@RuthSecretario]

Oh thank you for this Bernadette😊

[@annamariasini9404]

A very good lesson, thank you!!!

[@Teeum5]

Hopefully day ten will be the song I'm waiting for quite some time... the most beautiful "Beatles" song ever: SOMETHING!!!!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

I'm going to be honest with you, I tried recording that one and I realized that I have never taught it before, so I'm going to make the printable for it and teach it in a live while everyone can give me feedback on how to explain it. MOST of it is easy but then it breaks into some crazy barre chords... I want the audience to tell me if they want the original version or a transposed version with fewer barre chords...

[@maryquint3254]

Thank you.💕

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Mary!! Hi :) thank you too!

[@CandaceTravismusic]

Love this song, do you have Michelle planned, I looked on line and I think I could learn it eventually.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

I love this song too :) I'm still deciding what the last two days will be... it is so tough to narrow down!

Ya Ya Ya. And Ya Lol Good morning Teacher Bernadette Teaches!!!!!!))) I think more people know of this song than most the other Beatles songs!! I can’t sing this song and I am not a great singer as you have heard don’t help!!!!!))) You did a wonderful Lesson with it!!!!!

[@mariajukejax9649]

Some tricky chord changes here but real fun to play and sing along to. So I went back to the previous Beatles songs we did and found them a bit easier. No headbanging tonight.....Unless somebody puts some Judas Priest on lol

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Woah! That's crazy. I remember when you were doing the 30 Day Challenge. You've come so so far, Maria.

Thank you too! 😊

[@brucebirr3810]

My prior e mail was incomplete. I was inquiring, since you refer a lot of ukes to Amazon, if they provide a discount to your students?

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Bruce! There are some discounts my students get, but not for the ukuleles on Amazon... as my channel gets bigger that deal would definitely be worth asking for! I hadn't thought of that. Thank you

[@alexisleona]

This I'll master, but sure seems like it will take forever to memorize the chord sequence.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Start by memorizing the verses. The verses have the same form (pattern), so that means you cover a lot of the song without really trying!

Honestly “Coach” - the challenging chord changes were intimidating - Fell behind in some of these songs. But i reeeeeally wanted to conquer THIS SONG❤️. Now, I’m more CONFIDENT to go back to all the songs in the Beatle Challenge❤️ - Excited about that!. Thank you so much “Coach”!!!

[@brucebirr3810]

I have a quick question unrelated to the challenge. I hab

[@brucebirr3810]

Continued: I have noticed a lot of your ukulele that you use are thru Amazon. Do they provide a discount for your students?

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Which ukulele are you thinking about buying?

[@brucebirr3810]

Bernadette Teaches Music I am not sure what I want. I bought an Amahi banjolele on my last trip and I have a spruce top tenor Lanikai and a Kala concert laminate mahogany. I think I want something that looks a little different but stills plays and sounds good like that pineapple uke or the blue Enya you played the other day.

[@brucebirr3810]

Any other options I should look at? Since I do not have a “big” local store, is my best bet Amazon?
