How To Play Sweet Child Of Mine on Uke (PART 1)

[SickSickDreamz]

I'm gonna get a ukulele for my bday and I'm trying this on an android app but it only has five frets I already memorized the first four strings tho

[OhJoyLOL]

awesome tutorial but i think you meant one fret up at 1:19 :)...i was only playing it down and it was not sounding like yours til i watched over your finger movement lol

[TeeYoYo]

You make it look suuuuper easy hahah

[JohnnyHorton]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for doing it.

[20MadeMoiselle]

Very nice tutorial. I must say that playing this absolute amazing rock song on a ukulele is a total rape, but I do appreciate ur efforts. Hehe.

[golfa4lif3]

bro this is such a great vid.. Your awesome man keep it up and make more please

[ChipmunkMix67]

This helped so much ! I loved the video, but the camera man was pissing me off with the constant zooming in and out...

[XCYTEUK]

You mean a capo, not kapo? English is English not American, just remember whatever the language came from

[dldelavega21]

tank you man ur the best!!!!

[metaldesire4]

I have the exact ukulele model. Is there any reason why the Makala tenor has the C string made of metal?

[CurtainGuy]

@metaldesire4 It's actually a nylon string wound with aluminum. You'll see some sets of Tenor strings like that.. I think it's just to give the C string a little more boom to it, since it's the lowest string (pitch-wise).

[EbroBeatlesFan]

@CurtainGuy Kala Strings?

[Monkeydex96]

strum pattern?

[CurtainGuy]

@Monkeydex96 Check out part 2 of the tutorial for a little more detail on the strumming.

[flowertrue]

This is freaking amazing, the strumming, picking, and combination. I love it the song, but there is no way I'll ever be able to do this, unless you come live with me and teach me 24/7 I guess. Too bad you won't get to sleep that way.

[syahiransukardi]

great tutorial dude

cheers from malaysia ;)

[plinthman]

Thanks for the great tutorial. I got a Uke for Christmas (less than a week ago), and can play this song already. Never thought I would be able to pick up an instrument so fast! I got a bit lost trying to work out the melody bit, but worked it out in the end.

[MoshaUkeleleRocker]

hey, thanks for postin this, i got the riff and the chords fine but i cant get the melody in there, i only just started playin see. you were very thorough on the first bit but less so towards the end. i love your playin tho!! ty!!

[CurtainGuy]

Hmm.. a lot of people seem to be having trouble with that last bit. I kind of threw it in as an afterthought without thinking hey.. that's the coolest part and people are probably going to want a more detailed explanation. Maybe I'll post a more detailed lesson for just that part.

[MoshaUkeleleRocker]

that'd be great, thanks, and you are a really great teacher but for beginners like me we need to be told EXACTLY what to do. lol!! thanks again

[CurtainGuy]

I finally made a part 2 to this tutorial that goes into a little more detail in case you still needed help!

[elofelipe]

whats the strum pattern please?

great job!

[CurtainGuy]

I made a part 2 that shows the strumming in more detail! Check it out if you still need help!

[chachaaa77]

Cheers!

[CurtainGuy]

Check Justin Sandercoe's lesson on this song for guitar on youtube. It's pretty thorough and he's a great teacher.

[tangelo777]

[richpapapito]

can you show the pattern for strumming???? that would be a huge help

[CurtainGuy]

Been awhile but I finally finished a part 2 to this tutorial that shows the strum in more detail if you still need help!

[morlans001]

My Ukulele only has 12 frets. Idk if i tuned it right.*got it a week ago* But when i try to play ur notes on my ukulele it doesnt even sound decent*doesnt sound like urs*. I already looked on youtube how to tune and if i play every note open it sounds fine. Do u know what i could do??*By the way great vid. Ur good at teaching.*

[captainkhung]

it's probably a really cheap one with horrible intonation. what make is it?

[morlans001]

Its a Mahalo and yea im still having the same problem

[captainkhung]

mahalo u-30? they dont have the greatest intonation.

[morlans001]

really?? this sucks now i need to buy another one. I cant learn from it if it doesn't sound correct.

[evilstrwbry2]

mines only got 12 frets 2. also the neck ends right were the body begins. the face is painted chipboard and the neck has a painted wood design. it was made in china. i can play songs on it though. u just have to learn to deal with the thing. but i tell ya. it makes you really appreciate it when u get a nice one. good luck

btw mines is a johnson uk-160

[g2g2dabathroom89]

nice job man, this is really cool!

[itzClinttt]

OMG THANKS MAN.

[ValentineTheory]

Thanks, this helped alot!

[UkuLeLesReggAe]

... u r really annoying

[maebo1027]

Thank you very much!!! I love playing this song. Another good addition to my uke playlist =)

[flagrantchicken]

Thanks for posting this, bro. It's really been helpful.

[artsmart16]

great lesson, thanks!

[ukegobes]

In the key that you're playing the song the chords for the chorus should be G, Bb, C, C.

[CurtainGuy]

Shoot... seriously?

[ukegobes]

Yep. On a guitar (tuned down 1/2 step you play A, C, D, D. (There's a quick B between the A and C but we'll ignore that). So for your version, in C, it's G, Bb, C, C.

[CurtainGuy]

Wow I guess you're right! I did try it out though with the G and Bb and.. I don't know, I think I like the Bb and F more on uke.. it just sounds right to me for some reason. But thanks for letting me know!

[vroominator]

Great tutorial bro! thanks for putting this up I really like this version.

[PhoebeHenry000]

UKE!!!!

<3

[TheBlueFenix]
