[clumsymamma]

You are an awesome teacher :)

[kellymclaren2006]

BRAVO JODY!!! Clap~Clap~Clap! Thank you SOOOOO much for posting this video! I gave my daughter a ukulele for Christmas and I tuned it today. I will help her learn this. You are an amazing instructor and you sang beautifully! I hope you've posted more instructional videos. Happy New Year!

[graicem2001]

Yeah I learned to play with a little confusing cords

[hero1112007]

I got confused

[ivpresident68]

I am searching for ukulele's as I want to buy one, but I don't know what brand to get. Does a mahalo one work well with this song? I need help!

[JulieNicoleSays]

ahhh i love this lolz :D it makes me so happy xDD

[translifier]

It was great! I just won the school talent show with that song! Thank You very much!

[MrBonus555]

Thanks :)

[Seraphim577]

What type of uke is he playing here? I've got a Baritone I'm using.. Sadly doesn't give me the same sound.

[YoungInPhotography]

@Seraphim577 Looks like a Tenor.. Perhaps Concert.

[friedrichsalzmann]

It would be very helpful to show when you play which chord and how often. After all, we are beginners ;)

[friedrichsalzmann]

I enjoyed this very much! You have a nice voice too!

[feliesjed]

in the first part he explains really, but now he suddenly goes very faster. help!

[iHankJr]

Awesome

[MrBonus555]

Oh, whats the song?

[taluntain87]

@MrBonus555 white sandy beach

[snarkb154]

thank you :-)

[DHGamingChannel]

I did it :)

[mannuli]

how to play it with two fingers on strum :O?!??

[gimmiethat911]

thank you so much! i love this!

[OMGturtlesFTW]

wheres the best place to get an affordable uke?

[mexicanotaku1]

@OMGturtlesFTW got one at guitar center for $40, actually pretty decent

[JosephOunsworth]

I have fallen in love with this man *refreshes page*

[FreyaStev]

I love how the top 2 comments are so romantic lol

[HappyColouredMarbles]

aww man! I just went through the pain of learning all the chords in the last song to discover I don't even like the song being taught :( womp womp

[djwu1976]

hey jody, what brand and model uke is that you have? great tutorial by the way!

[djwu1976]

What's the uke you're using in the video?

[Mooaire4]

Dose anybody here the fart or whatever at 1:11

[37highland]

where are the numbers and chords!? i don't get it! aaahhhh!!!!!

[OrangePotatoLegs]

@37highland It is a different vid called "White Sandy Beach" karioke style

[LineStarz3]

@37highland We're in the same boat. :O

[BobsMum71]

So far, I think the chords (and number of strums in brackets) are:

F (4), B Flat (1), B Flat Minor (1), F (1), C7 (1). That takes you up to 47 seconds.

Repeat the above (that should take you to 103 seconds)

F (4), B Flat (1), B Flat Minor (1), F (1), C7 (2 this time). That should take you up to 125 seconds. Please let me know if I'm wrong! I'll add more when I have time. :o)

[jgkgintx]

Great job of a great song! I'm new to ukulele playing and your video is exactly what I've been looking for...not too technical, but not too childish either. After several viewings I was able to play along with you, pretty much in sync. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.

[SheaButcher]

Im buying a ukulele today and this makes a great 1st video tutorial for me. Thank you very much!

[xSoositar]

What side Soprano, Concert and Tenor ????? =D

[yokankun85]

I just can't play the Bb minor :-(

[emwolbemwolb]

just got myself a '52 Gibson TU1....can't wait to start practicing!!

[TheMeehaha]

thanks for teach.  :)

[shaynapulley]

i love your voice, it's sweet (and thanks for teaching me how to play my uke!)

[SonicSnail95]

I just bought a Soprano Uke, a gig bag, some spare strings, and some felt picks off of Amazon. can't wait till it gets here.

:D

[mycreativityrules]

@SonicSnail95 mine just got here! I am so excited =) and I am loving it =D

[NJNetsFTW]

Can anyone please tell me if he's using a nylon chord uke? It sounds just TOO right to be nylon, but maybe it's just me

[mycreativityrules]

I just ordered my ukulele!! I cant wait for it to get here =)

[Airamyang]

One million people quit after watching part 1.

[viby1002]

@Airamyang LOL

[tuberlxb2012]

@Airamyang

[TheLocalcat]

@Airamyang more like gave up :P

[sonson226]

Jody! Thank you do much. I am gonna get a uke soon. What kind are you playing. It's so beautiful!

[mynameisamber369]

what kind of ukulele is this. Im thinking about buying one

[MpepAble]

@mynameisamber369 This one i think, if a mahogany or a natural wood one.

its always good to get a beginners four string one online, and once youve played for a while

you would/should then buy a mahogany advanced one. =) Thats what ive been advised to do

and i am. Amazon supplies great quality ones. Get one! :D

[Surfboarder97]

awesome

[21stcenturyphantom]

Beautiful singing and playing brother!

[MsMunchkin3]

do you do the strumming (down,down,up,up,down) 4 times for each chord?

p.s you are the best ukulele teacher ever, this video is everything i needed and im a beginner so it helped so much, thanks :)

[XChrissxCrossX]

@MsMunchkin3 no for the first chord its 4 times, for the next its 1 and then 3 and then 2 and 2..then repeat

[ukulelechigo]

Jody that sounds great

You are a super instructor and a cool dude

[MrLycaean]

Oh, Jody, what a beautiful and nice voice you have!

Wish I could sing and play like you!!!

MrLycaean

[Nick9494]

you are so happy! that's cool :D

[chakrum82]

Just bought a ukulele, inspired by your tutorial.

Great skills, and you seem like a great person :)

[Keefsstuff]

Thank you so much this is a simple attainable goal for a beginer such as my self

[centralnumba50]

the only way to make this video better is to have the chords listed at the bottom while he plays the song(:

[MrLycaean]

Excellent singing with a beautiful voice, of course!

[Mitchman240]

this is beautiful

[Mitchman240]

I really liked this man, you've got something really good going on for ya.

[brodacz17]

my shitty ukulele doesn't sound like his at all, even though it's (really) tuned

[heresbella]

where are the numbers that tell you how many times to do each chord?

[Bombshellbinder]

@heresbella it's 'down down up up down' for each chord i think

[magggie]

thanks a lot jody, appreciate it!

[Raz3r572]

What type of ukulele is that? A soprano? Tenor?

[RTHK2008]

nice song and i just too up ukulele too. a very easy to handle instrument. can i have the Ukulele chords for this song WHITE SANDY BEACH?

[MrSfx300]

I wanna go home I'm crying Im a boy I wAs born in hawaii and I wanna go back

[DuctTapeUniverse]

@MrSfx300 what a bitch

[winnerz321]

@DuctTapeUniverse dick.

[DuctTapeUniverse]

@winnerz321 hahaha

[goalieguy10]

after each down down up up down pattern i hear another note. what are you strumming to make that last note? it sounds so much smoother and i would like to know

[oKeegan]

u still sweet ^^. keep on doing.

[seajayaway]

How can there be 14 dislikes?! 14 people are slow learners.

[Juantildo]

both are great!

[crazyRyoga]

GREAT LESSON! THANK YOU!

[jlaci]

if I wanna buy an ukulele like this, what do I need to know about it? Is it a soprano ukulele, I guess? (Am I right?) does it have a brand? or what kind of ukulele would you advise for a beginner? (Which sounds similar to the one in this video.)

[BLOODELFSRULE]

@jlaci id recomend a lanikai lu-11 or lu-21

[ibesexyninjabeast]

I play acoustic guitar and i'm getting a ukulele now since now I know how to play

Thanks! =D

[GiacominG17]

Man, do you see how many people you helped?! lol

Keep doing this good work!

Good luck!

[krdt]

is your uke made of koa?

[msnellienajib]

I bought a ukulele cuz of you! lol

[siokobe]

I was able to do it!

It is this performance of IZ so far... I was not able to do it. It seemed to be easy and was particular.

At last I have it and am happy.

[LosOctobots]

This video is just what i was looking for, I want to buy a ukulele and learn to play it and this song, Then i will propose to the woman i love with this song.

[reestophor008]

@LosOctobots did you propose to her?

[testjesse]

[SlainSeth]

@St4Tu53FfeKt you dumbass, he was saying F because the chord name was F

[alana27181]

does anyone know what type of ukulele this is? like tenor or soprano or whatever? :)

[sashunya804]

Oh wow. That's unbelievably easy to play. I want a ukulele now.

[ssj374trunks]

[wolfpac1908]

your voice is nice. I think your the songbird of our generation!!!!

[joanTHEboan]

nice ukulele play....your shirt matches the bed spread.

[ColdBloodedKnife]

you are one cool hawaiian

[marktuyet]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS ..I AM STARTING TO GET IT AND COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU .. YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN FROM THE YOUNGSTERS !!

[marktuyet]

BRAVO !

[ChrissyIsHXC]

wow thank you so much! this songs super cute, and your legit with teacher to ukulele unlike expert village lmao. thank you!

[cheybug394]

the ukulele is such a beautiful yet happy instrument. i want one so bad but my parents wont let me :- /

[SazzahMadazzah]

Oh my god you are adorable :3 I really want a ukulele, I will buy one this week :D

[raerae0595]

my uke always makes a ringing sound when i play, any help pls?

[Heelms]

@raerae0595 I can only come to think of two reasons.

Either you ain't pressing hard enough on the frets, or else you're Uke got some fret buzz on certain frets. I'm not sure anything can be done about fret buzzing.

[MrCheeezey]

@raerae0595 you're not holding down the strings hard enough on your frets. I used to have that problem with my guitar.

[717cronaldofan717]

@raerae0595 is it tuned right? if it is a new ukulele then the stock strings may come out of tune pretty fast or maybe if the ukulele was cheap then the strings might just not be very good. Try taking it to a guitar shop or a ukulele one if you can find one and ask them. Have fun and good luck :)

[fwuffleclouds15]

wow! i love this!

i have been playing the guitar for a good few years, but have never been able to barre chords, and have found it's limiting the kinda songs i can play.

i'm soon gonna start playing the ukelele and am so glad i've discovered you, this song hasn't got any difficult chords in and your voice and smile when you perform always makes me feel happy, and of course the ukelele sounds so much happier than a guitar. can't wait till i get mine!

[0cool08]

1:12 Fart lol

[BurningAfroMango]

@0cool08 lool

[bollebob3]

vuvuzela button FTW!!!

[redKELLYMHRCH]

I am getting a ukulele when I go on vacation. this wednesday!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!

[The1andonlyCandyMan]

Transcribe audio and accents do not mix.

[SensuousNutmeg]

you rock

[almostthere2991]

this video really made me wanna play the uke more. I just bought one and being a lifeguard i feel this instrument suits the beach scene better than an acoustic guitar even. i LOVE this instrument! and this is a great song to learn I already learned it!

[almostthere2991]

[tona7ge]

i agree how can we get this uke?

[amha33]

oh ukulele is so cute love it sound!

btw, u really look so hawaii lol

[dsrocks99]

That song was wonderful

[cerealalaa]

Lol cute

[a0e0roberts]

Just finished building my own. Not a beautiful koa wood like his, but I built it and it's my baby. Tried learning guitar but those metal strings HURT like a Son-of-a-gun. I've been playing uke for a week now and it's starting to sound nice. Will have to play along with this video tonight.

[kbat82]

this song makes me smile

[Wichigichi]

Thats a good explanation GREAT 

[cheeserules5419]

All right, you've convinced me to buy a ukalele! I play a bit of acoustic guitar, hopefully that'll give me a bit of a head start!

[poopetr11]

awsome thanx wat well price ukulele do u think is good fur a beginer

[cerealrulz]

@poopetr11 (sorry don't know where you live) I got my first uke for £12, and that was a very basic Mahalo, but even £35 can get you a pretty nice one. Uke's aren't as expensive as most instruments :)

[Rcflyyer1]

I got a ukulele for my birthday today and by watching this video I impressed her by playing this which was her favorite song. Great video keep up the good work. Love Hawaii want to live there some day.

[hockeykid077]

aww i love this guy and all of hawaii for that matter

[AliBornUnicorn]

I learned to play this song so fast, but OMG singing at the same time is the hardest thing! I completely mess up the strum pattern when i start singing. Does anyone know any techniques for this?

[steppenjiff]

@AliBornUnicorn don't progressto trying to sing at the same time until you can play the song without thinking about it - practice practice practice until it's almost automatic, sothta your hands play the song while your mind thinks about something else - THEN you will be able to sing as well. If you try and sing too soon you 'll never learn to play the song well enough. That goes for all songs BTW not just this one! :)

[ninjaskils]

[azuk1]

@ninjaskils I'm 99% sure it's a Tenor Ukulele.

[BboyMSG]

to will32890

Nice to know someone thought about buying a ukulele for a Vday gift..I'm learning a lot of songs since last months. I wish to visit the island someday....I miss the ocean..

[NickandJamie]

[jellisrellish]

[ITapePrivateWow]

@hamhamproductions112  Why not both dude?

[guitar29682]

[alkamast]

[Jackleandcheese]

[will32890]

@BboyMSG I got a ukulele on Vday too! But it was my second one, I had to sell my first. It's such a happy instrument!

[kdawg860]

i was just in hawaii back in december with family and tried my hand at ukulele at the polynesian cultural center and fell in love with it. i bought a 40 dollar soprano from ebay and now i practice it every other day and i've gotten decent. thank you so much for this video.

[Jacko49]

Hi and greetings from Montreal Canada where its -22 Celsius today,but your lessons warmed up everything to a tolerated day,thanks for being so nice and great voice too,now back to practice again....bye jack

[kjunk216]

detroit here. yeah... this weather is a bummer :(

[kikoa5]

Mahalo

[keepitupbro]

Thanks a lot for both this and part 1, great stuff. So helpful and such a great, chill song.

[cienanosdesoledad]

Can you do the same with A Hawaiian like me, and Somewhere Over the Rainbow? You make things easier.

[tudoralexe]

this ukulele sounds so much better than a acoustic guitar!

[boom911boom]

@tudoralexe uno you can just get a capo and it sounds the same but with two more strings that you don't have to strum, so the ukulele really limits you in notes in comparason to a acoustic

[NapkinSaviour]

That's beautiful

[waaycrazy]

wonderful

helpful

chill

thanks Jody

[Alpheronspace]

Thank you so much for posting this! :) its been a long time since our teacher taught us how to use the Ukulele and since now we are about to learn about it next week, this will really help! thanks :D :) ^^

[cobratmusic]

excellent video! thanks so much. one more song in my arsenal.

[xxveggiegirloo2]

where can i get the sheet music for this song?

[longboardlesage]

cool, im considering getting one and learning some songs.

[longboardlesage]

how much does a ukulele cost???

[oyadomarig10]

@longboardlesage

a decent one costs around 100-120

the really good ones are about 300-1k+

[bandaidsareawesome]

you're awesome!

thank you soo much for teaching a new song!

[bandaidsareawesome]

where can I find this tab for my ukulele?

i really really want it!
