Also, your cover was really awesome!!

[ELEPHANTspoon]

I agree with everyone else's comments - this really is the epitome of a perfect turtorial. Thanks for the lesson! I played along XD

[Skyball135]

Hi John, This is great , Im enjoying it very much. Im still at the AAARRRGGGHHH stage, but thanks to you Im getting past that point.

[Traylorjim]

Kickass great video! You were very thorough and complete, and your playing is spirited and singing enthusiastic and good! I have just bought a new ukulele, and look forward to following this lesson and learning the song. The only thing I saw as a flaw in the vid, and this is minor, is that the subtitle lyrics are sometimes at odds with what you are actually singing. This was no doubt talked about in previous comments, but I am just seeing this for the first time. Great job!!

[UnaAvellanita]

Hey, this is was a great help to me, a new uke player! The one thing I'm having trouble with is the rhythm... What pattern are you using?

[Gratisgulasch]

dude, i just HAD TO log in and leave a comment. you have so little fews, way less than you deserve! that tutorial is brilliant, especially with that chords overlay i almost learned this song in "real time" watching your video.

thanks a bunch and i hope you keep the good stuff coming.

[MP3isMurder]

i LOVE THIS GUY

[59illuminati]

dude, thx sooooooo much!!!!! you can't imagine how your video is helpful!!! thanks a lot, really! I know how to play at guitare one of my favorites songs right now^^ thanks from france (real pleasure to watch videos like yours....hope you will continue for a so long time^^)

[faRahGT]

lovve it! it really helped, what's the tuning??

[chekacong]

i like that thanks

[vistillo]

That's a very good video, very helpfull for me. Thanks from Spain.

[CarLooSmosh]

Very Good lesson

emm ... could you please make one of  "Wild World" Cause that's a great song, Thanks man

[djfelll]

tanks for lesson =)

[DavidD503]

Wow, this is your first video lesson!?!?!? I play uke and guitar and this is one of the best video lessons I've ever seen. Thanks and I look forward to more!

[DynamoeTClown]

Really want to thank you for this video. I have been playing guitar for four months and I have went back to this video many times. Today I played complete song. Keep up the great work and many thanks for the lesson.

[jonathandavidr]

No problem, thankyou for the comment. I'm glad it was a help for you. It's nice to hear personal stories from people, thanks.

Jonathan

[osherkam]

Thats great!

Nice editing, loved it.

My brother is planning on buying a Ukulele, ill convince him to play the song with me.

Thanks! thats really helpful!

[pexbirdo]

Great video. I don't suppose you have it all written on a word document or any thing do you because that would really help me to see it in-front of me. The way you did it was great but if you could email me it all together or some thing that would be much appreciated. Thanks again, great video.

[jonathandavidr]

I'm really glad you found the video helpful, but unfortunately I don't have it written down.

Jonathan

[mdrootz]

cool man cant wait to get home and try this, thanks

[rocker9455]

Very good video, thanks!

One critiscism, for the little bit inbetween chords on the uke was a bit hard to see what you were doing and a tab could of helped. But, apart from that excellent video, thank you!

[kranckounet]

Really Excellent ! I try to reproduce it on my ukulele, but could you please tell me what is the tuning of your instrument?

It doesn't seem to be GCEA, right?

Thanks a lot!

[jonathandavidr]

The tuning was GCEA...I'm glad it was helpful!

Thanks for leaving a comment.

Jonathan

[cclyou]

Thanks for this job

I'm a beginner on my ukulele and this video will be really helpful.

I was wondering if you're planing to do the same with "creep" or "wonderwall", because I love these songs and I can't find a really good method.

anyway thanks for this one !

[CyberchondriacNess]

I have the red version of your uke. O_o

[jonathandavidr]

When I bought it I just loved the novelty of the fruit!!

[Charpipok]

por tu show 10 chocolates

[jonathandavidr]

I'm not sure what you mean....

[russelljenkinsfearn]

Particularly I like that song.

very very good tutorial thanks!

[jonathandavidr]

No problem, I'm happy it was helpful.

Jonathan

[Furorede]

y pretty well. trained now a bit without. i'm not always as fast as i need but think bit more training and i'll get it. and then with intro ;)

big thx again for uploading that lesson!

[Furorede]

that's my first try on ukulele. never played guitar or anything like that. and i got it ;) pretty big thx.

but i don't get the intro :) miss 2nd tone.. don't know why.

[jonathandavidr]

Maybe try missing out the intro and go straight to the chords and then when you become more confident and proficient you can try it again, you'll probably find it easy then.

Thanks for the comment, Jonathan

[davideguiguren]

Great man! i liked this tut a lot!!

[jonathandavidr]

I hope it helped...

[semiballpenman]

Do you know if the guitar can be replaced with a baritone, or do you need more than DGBE ????

[jonathandavidr]

Good question...I guess you mean a baritone uke, I don't see there being a problem, the whole song is played with chords, so if you know the chords, you should be able to.

Jonathan

[semiballpenman]

THANK YOU!!! this helps tons!!! I will definetly upload a cover because of you. THANK U.

[jonathandavidr]

Excellent, when you do upload it let me know so that I can take a look at it.

Cheers, Jonathan

[semiballpenman]

I will.

[jonathandavidr]

I've just watched yours!

Well done, Jonathan

[athria]

lol thx o-o this is the most helpful vid (for this song) that i've found :P it rlly helped me out. As a suggestion, maybe u could put some detail on the rhythm that u play w/ the right hand, nevertheless i think it is a great tutorial XD and the ukulele sounds pretty cool

[jonathandavidr]

Hey thanks for the comment. Just to let you know, there is a seperate video showing the strumming pattern for the right hand :)

Have a look at the link on the right side in the extra information section.

[athria]

oh thx XD i didnt look at that, srry

[russelljenkinsfearn]

Great lesson thanks

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad it helped.

Jonathan

[devd2106]

Jonathan

[mrazwanabe]

[jonathandavidr]

Hey Joe, thanks for the positive comment, much appreciated!

Jonathan

[javiyamaha01]

awesome man helped me alot!!!!

[jonathandavidr]

Good, I'm glad it helped!

Jonathan

[porndoc]

wtf. you only show like the intro on the ukulele ?

[jonathandavidr]

The rest is just strumming, and the chord maps for that are in the top left hand corner for that

[ilovecherries84]

you know when you never really take much notice of a song till you hear a really cool version of it then you really love it?

i just had one of those moments, i play guitar and just bought a ukulele and decided to to learn but i keep just watching your vid its great!!!

thanks for the lesson too!

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks for the great comment, I'm glad to know that it helps!

Also feel free to watch the video as many times as you want!! :)

Jonathan

[jigaboodle]

great idea putting the chord diagrams in the corner like that, for those that need it.

[jonathandavidr]

That's what I was hoping!

Cheers, Jonathan

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks, you should buy them, ukes are really popular at the moment and it's a great first instrument!

Jonathan

[petercitroen1]

Thank you John. I really like the way you are doing this song. Every time I play together with this video, I have to laugh when your "yeahhhh" is coming. I hope I can do the same when I have played the song without a mistake. Look forward to the next video....musical greetings from Holland....Peter

[jonathandavidr]

I'm glad it's a help and I'm glad to hear that people are playing along, it makes it all worthwhile!

Thankyou, Jonathan

[snowboardernikki]

I really liked this video! Thank you so much! I think you put more effort into this video than anyone else on youtube for their instructional videos.

I also wanted to say:

1) I like your sweater.

2) Your face at 8:24(ish) made me laugh, along with your "yeahhhh" at the end! :D

thank you!!

[jonathandavidr]

Thankyou!!

1) I think it was 10 pound at some high street store.

2) I was just so glad to get it right eventually, and that the camera was actually recording!!

Cheers, Jonathan

[StasBlinkov]

Thank you so much! I started playing the uke a few days ago, and this song is very easy, so I'm happy I'll know something that many people can sing a long to.

[jonathandavidr]

I'm glad it was a help, good luck with the uke!

[franklinlara2]

[arturob8]

hey dude thanks so much for your lesson n im soooooo happy that u showed the strumming part in ur other video aswell.. the first one ive seen that did that :D.. oh ye if possible maybe u could add arrows showing if to strum up or down when ur playing (kinda like how you showed the notes ur playing) that would be sweet but if not then w/e :D still pretty kick ass lesson

[oasisliveforever84]

fantastic mate! one of the best youtube vids i have came across. keeps putting out the lessons!

[shinraisuru]

OMG!

I am a beginner and find it tough to learn somethings but this made it very simple!

Thank you so much!

[nejmsrnejm]

really nice, i really like how you perform! :)

[schenni92]

your video is really good organized but you could do 2 vids one for the ukulele and one for the guitar but its not that bad 5/5

[xshadow00]

Hey man AWESOME video!

However, I do have a request, can u please tell me the strumming pattern ??? PLEASE ?!

[jonathandavidr]

I've had a few requests for this, I'm going to do a separate video soon and add a link, I hope that helps

[xshadow00]

Ok, sure it does help, thank you. But please make the video quickly i wanna learn this song soooo bad :D ! Please man ! Thanks again !

[sillitoechris]

Great video and you have a very nice manner.

Would like some more info on the strumming pattern next time but really good!

[dexetron]

nice well done John

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks glad you liked it Haydn!

[rangersguy68]

fantastic

[rascal2194]

Great Video, its a bit out of sink, its a real pity but you get the gist of it.

i have just started to play and would love to play this, Whats the strumming pattern this is the one thing i really struggle with please help, and keep sending the vids, well done and thanks Steve

[johnnytheb26]

well done,

I struggle fitting all the words in,..but I suppose its practise....thanks man,.. JB

[jalachelas]

how many chords does it have

[jonathandavidr]

I think there are seven, they are all shown.

[KezBear93]

awesome video...i have ordered a ukulele on the internet and when i get it, im gnna play this and i ma do a video on youtube see what you think

[jonathandavidr]

Excellent, let me know when you post it.

[KezBear93]

yeah will do man....just one thing you could have added...tabs for the intro bit, middle bit and outro...I have made one and if anyone wants it, mail me on youtube and i will give you it!

[urbanburglary]

helped so friggen much

best tutorial ever omg

awesome song

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks, that's the kind of comment that's going to inspire me to do more.

Keep watching.

[mrscrumble]

BRILLIANT!

[jonathandavidr]

mrscrumble, thanks again for the support, it is always great when people return and enjoy :)

[crguitar411]

Very cool..thanx a bunch. I would add what strum pattern you are using....people always want to know that. Telling folks what key and what time signature the song is in is useful. eg..Key of C and in 4/4 time. Finally, telling beginners that an F barre chord takes mucho time and pratice to master may help.

[DiscoverUkulele]

Good job. Thanks so much!

[Kezzasg]

Fantastic! By far the best tuition vid I have seen yet

[MaxedOut19]

Thanks for doing this...

very well done as well

[hiimhereforhotties]

really nice combination of guitar and ukulele, sounds really good

[airgunner2001]

nice, i like the close up you give of the guitar chords, makes it easier to see what your playing

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks. That's what I was hoping, I wanted to make it slightly different to other video lessons I'd seen

[nedstott]

Great vid. thanks for the help!

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks...it took me long enough!

Hopefully the next lesson won't take quite so long to produce.

[eggnogg3]

Awesome! Thank you for doing this video. Really helpful! My euk is very grateful!

[jonathandavidr]

I'm glad it was useful, thanks.

[darkangel2199]

Excellent cover and great lesson im just starting out playing and it helped me alot.

i was wondering if u have a mp3 of ur cover u could send me. thanks

[jonathandavidr]

Hi, thanks for the comment I'm glad it was a help to you, I plan to do some more, although not sure which ones yet.

I don't have any mp3's available yet, although I've had a few requests so maybe I should look into it.

[DrivingScience]

first comment! thanks mate

[jonathandavidr]

Thanks, No problem
