[Misternoriddim59]

dude, that was great.



[RubyRoseDIY]

thanks for the lesson! it was great! i actually practised more the turning the ukulele around than the songs... :p

[VegasMarcMarc]

Guitar Toolkit App has a great tuner and metronome include for the Uke

[parangofan]

Thank you but i don't think we can play great ball of fire the first day (not in 8min). :)

[luizhenrique54321]

First of all, i don't know english. I'm just tryin'

My question: Do I have to buy differents kinds of srtings if I'm going to change "Low G" for "High G" or just change de tuning? (how do i do this tuning change?)

How is "Low G"?

How is "High G"?

PS. I still don't have a Uke, I'll buy one as soon as I get a few more informations.

I play guitar for almost 3 years, but I want to play Ukulele cuz it sounds really awesome!

Sorry my large text,sorry my english.. hope you help me. Hug =)

[philjit1]

[Palvstein]

I just bought a ukulele for myself and this is the first video I watched on how I should play it and I have learned so much already from your video. Thank you so much! I hope I look as cool while playing my uke as you do ;)

[ThEfThPkR]

[Pippalol1]

Ur awesome!!! I now know how to play great balls of fire on my ukulele!! Call it impressive!!! :P

[maiemm]

duuude yooouu rooooockkk thannks and giant kuddos !

[TrunkMonkey707]

I noticed that when you were playing those songs every 2 strums or so you lifted your fingers off of the frets. I might be wrong but if so, does that have any significance to the sound? Will that also make the songs sound more authentic?

Thanks in advance.

[adrian4106]

@TrunkMonkey707 i believe it adds an extra sound to give a personal feel to the player, its a chord but all the strings are open

[lylehigg]

Got a uke for christmas... you have officially ruined my parent's day. XD

[Morbiusman]

I just bought my ukulele and you completed the joy of the day.Thanks man!

[ginarocks75]

Thank you! This was very helpful!!

[lalvarez1990]

Thank you! Great video and very helpful!



[fairyspectre]

This really helped me! And it made the idea of learning an instrument less scary in general. You are so charmingly dorky. (If there is such a thing.) You remind me of my Dad. ^_^

[kade1969]

So coooooool!!!

[pauography23]

you have a great sense of humor. this is an awesome video. appreciate this!

[nicoleb13ever]

Soprano or Concert?

[ukuleledotde]

@nicoleb13ever This is a RISA-Acoustic-Soprano with spruce top and walnut side/back.

[44gael67]

[stephen2sh]

[110belle]

@jpablosnm aloha i think.



[w00000pwubwubwub]

pure awesomeness ! :D

[Mafs75]

what a dude!

[tsephe]

Thanks Sir, Wow this was very persuasive , I watched this video and now iam buying Uke.

[lardenr123]

Hi Rick. This has inspired me to go and buy a Ukulele. I want to be able to play an instrument, but need to be able to understand it, without too much of getting into trying to read music. One question though, with your video, you make it look so easy when changing the chords whilst playing, but how do you know when to change the chords, or do you just get a feeling when it's right?

[Kjevois]

Great video txs

[martinwnitram]

Great stuff, very encouraging, thanks !

[AnHexD]

Verdammt , ich will nh Ukulele :O

[xspiritdannyx]

you look a lot like alec baldwin



[TheNinjamie1]

LOL,the sound hole. xDD

[TheKeepsmiling2010]

ich wünschte das gäbe es auch in deutsch

[Taldegardo92]

How to intonate it???

Excellent video, btw

[TwoStupidGirlsYT]

HAHAHAHAHA omg....

Im learning ukulele and this helps a lot!

But i cant stop laughing. Im sorry.

I lost it at great balls of fire.

Omg what a classic.

bahahaaha

[cassyortega]

can you teach us more chords? your really good.

[cassyortega]

WOW, mind-blown no joke took me forever to find a decent tutorial for begginers, but i finally found what i needed! Your great, now i just need to practice all the chords and eventually get the hang of it, to play more songs.

Thanks again best tutorial ive seen.

[JayKayDTB]

You are an awesome instructor. I barely started playing a day ago and you've taught me at a great pace, which allowed me to chord the strings so much better. Thank You

[2JobsStillPoorUSA]

ha ha ha..... love the uke spin on great balls of fire. made me smile. :)

[83Tommygunn]

Still after a month finding the f-g-c changes hard! Good job though man!

[2JobsStillPoorUSA]

@83Tommygunn take your time Tommy. one of the best ways to practice these is to keep repeating difficult changes until you can do it cleanly without thinking. example F to C over and over..... then F to G over and over. Then C to G over and over... keep doing that until you can nail it every time. You can do it... I promise. Also try to keep your fingers close to the fretboard when making changes. It will make the movements smaller and you'll be better off in the long run. :)

[pongch17274]

Very Nice Tutorial

[lagorda62]

I love this guy. Great instruction. Thanks

[sheryl0508]

u need a bigger uke! jst saying... in my opinion when i use my smaller uke, its harder to hold my elbow.

[LowFlyer10]

Great Balls of Fire needs a G7, but it sound good.

[bugdanny]

first i've to buy me one uke and then come back to learn from u again. thanks for a lesson, it was great.

[AyobaMovies]

this sounds amazing on my pink gypsy rose uke! ahh thank u! this is great! <3 :D

[JACKOJACKO121]

no matter how much i tunemy uklele pirfect when ever i make chords and im makeigin pirfect i know u also play guitar my ukulele sounds real off and kinda scary is this cuz i need new strings the actuly ukulele is not the best in the word but its not bad at all ? any suggestions

[IAmMaserati]

i watched 2 vids about playing the Ukulele and went out and bought 1 lolxx its fun... too bad i suck

[bigqueensam]

pretty cool lesson just was at music exchange in new orleans messin with one. i play violin and sax think i should resist another instrument 3 sax violin mandolin

[TheeChuckyGeorge]

[andycollett4]

Good stuff!!

[LeTigerGirl]

awsome : ]] thank you so much ; ]

[Zejety]

I've just got my Ukulele in my mail.

Looking forward to start practicing tomorrow!

[gurlin2fashion]

I have difficulty changing from note to note, i cant gt my fingers onto the right strings in so little time...!

[ukuleledotde]

@gurlin2fashion There is only one trick: practice, practice, practice, ... To tell you the truth, it takes more than 10 minutes to learn to play an instrument ;-)

[TheBaldMan28]

@ukuleledotde

I love the simplicity of this tutorial and agree %110. practice makes so much more! The one word missing is LOVE! Love your uke, NAME your uke and TREAT your uke. SHE'S a creation of goodness so don't ever let her sit on the sides!! Treat her well and she will be kind to you!!! If you can't spend 20 mins with her every day than (she) the uke, is not for you!

[kdkb3]

@gurlin2fashion

lol...idk...the way you worded that.

[Blubediblubblub]

Hey,

ich hab mir grad wegen dem tollen Video eine billige Ukulele gekauft. Muss gestehen nicht bei dir, hab grad erst gesehen das du einen Shop hast.

Auf jeden Fall steckt da eine chinesische Tageszeitung in dem Korpus... ich kenn mich ned aus, aber soll das so sein? :)

[ukuleledotde]

@Blubediblubblub Hättest du bei mir bestellt, wäre ein kleines Anleitungsheft in Englisch dabei gewesen ;-)

[Blubediblubblub]

@ukuleledotde

well next time I will definitly order from you ;)

[sandwichesYO420]

G is the bane of my life right now

[WierdElla]

ha ha im not a bigginer but i really liked your vidio, i need to try the flip thing...its not my first day so its ok (:

[anderzach125]

Time for a voice lesson

[Maxster123]

Man, that was awesome! It took me 2 hours to change the chords with the required speed, but it was fun. Vielen Dank und Grüße aus Rostock!

[ComicSpot]

[dixiindahouse]

[BLOODELFSRULE]

can you please put strum pattern for everybody need somebody so i know when to switch chords

[jparekh97]

if you have a smart phone (android or iphone) you can get apps which are tuners, or aid you in tuner. :)

[DaBoogie049]

Das Teil ist echt putzig! Wie eine eingelaufene Gitarre

[karmatilya]

It's so easy it's ridiculous... :)

[epicfail10362]

No it's under 10 minutes :)

[serendellella]

i love you guy

[commanderplyers]

this is truly an excellent lesson, but i think the part on the tuner was not required, just put on a video saying how to tune, because tuning, whilst being important, is not actually playing

[ironmee]

AWESOME! Thanks! :D

[alliwantisaukulele]

Goodness gracious...that was good : ]

[vegevamplike]

Thank you for this. It's very good!

[Iranitas]

my ukelele is really SMALL and LOW!! idk if its a real ukelele lol

[jesseperiosblue]

[Saladorentis]

Für den start hab ich mir ne 10€ Ukulele besorgt.. erstmal austesten später dann ne richtige ^^ aber wenn ich das so sehe juckts mich schon innen fingern.. Werd das mal in angriff nehmen :D

[DervlaCollins]

This made it so easy! I finally can play something on my ukulele!

[BertiMastah]

[MegaSkateProduction]

I just got a ukulele

[MegaSkateProduction]

This just sold me a ukulele

[SuperGuitardad]

Thanks so much.. I'm off to get me a ukuele. I've been thinking about it and you just sold me on the idea. I'm a very ordinary guitarist and I think this simple and beautiful instrument will help my playing greatly.

Matt

[TomboyGirlzX]

[vollFreaky]

Gutes Video...:)

Ich hab am Samstag ´ne Ukulele zum Geburtstag bekommen;)

Fang sofort an fleißg zu lernen^^

[gh0st333]

great video! Danke

[Comischen]

Ich hab noch eine Ukulele bei mir zuhause, du hast gerade meine Lust darauf geweckt :D Wie lange spielst du schon das Instrument?

[Alexandriaofsd]

What's wrong with your voice, you sound weird!!

[kickerprofis]

i wanted to ask how much a ukulele costs/ich wollte dich gern mal fragen wie viel eine ukulele denn kostet ich überlege nähmlich mir eine zu besorgen. bis jetzt hab ich nur eine nicht mehr wirklich zu stimmen ist

[ukuleledotde]

@kickerprofis Es gibt spielbare Ukulelen bereits unter €30. Wenn man das ganze langfristig und als ernsthaftes Hobby betreiben will, sollte man schon €100+ ausgeben. Schau einfach mal unter der im Video eingeblendeten Website.

[kickerprofis]

@ukuleledotde danke für die informaton ich hab sie zur kenntinis genommen muss jetzt mal drüber nachdenken ob ich wirklich anfangen möchte ernsthaft zu spielen

[Std160]

@ukuleledotde Meine kostete 10 €

[ukuleledotde]

@Std160 Da hätte ich die 10 € doch lieber für einen guten Zweck gespendet, denn musizieren kann man nicht auf einer 10 € Ukulele.

[wati1992]

@Std160 10euro? thats so cheap!! the ukuleles here in manchester are 40 pounds!!!

[Std160]

@wati1992

Well its a Plastic one from a Electronic store.

Made in China and not really good to play.

But its a Ukulele and its just furniture for me....

[MANIRES]

@kickerprofis ich hab meine wirklich akzeptabele ukuelel für 80€ bestellt:

lanikai lu 21 heisst sie glaub ich, und ist kein billig teil!

kann man zum einsteigen empfehlen!

[kickerprofis]

ich hab mir jetzt schon ein paar meinungen eingeholt diese hört sich passabel an, wenn ich ernsthaft anfangen möchte zu spielen werde ich darauf zurück kommen.

ist das video mit den tischtennisbällen von dir hast du die würfe gemacht?

[MANIRES]

@kickerprofis jap die sind von mir :D:D

die besten würfe hab ich leider nicht auf kamera , aber ich werd vllt bald mit freunden nochmal eins machen ;D

lg, und frohes ukulele spielen !

[Nikkoo1985]

@kickerprofis geh mal auf thomann... da gibts eine für 59€.... die soll sehr gut sein... alle da unter lohnt nicht..ernsthaft!... und wenn dann unbedingt auch immer mit tuner sonnst kannst ja nich spielen... ;) ... lies auf thomann einfach immer die bewertungen...:D

[BrothersInsane]

you made my night <3 Thanks a lot :)

[analarbd2008]

that was fun i need to buy the tuner and new string but help me a lot i need to practice !

[liquidpromises]

You said to make sure the sound wasn't dull at 3:28, but that seems to be my problem. How would you prevent yourself from doing that?

[TheTracenator]

@liquidpromises press harder

[liquidpromises]

@TheTracenator Thanks!
