[04TheRainn]

this is amazing! THANKS for posting this it really helps!

[steverenooo123]

I love the way you can play right with the video . Good job!

[songandancedaisy]

Such a helpful video to strum along with, the chords help so much, thank you!

[BaeebyGee15]

i lubb how u sing o and nice uke

[TheSubtlefish]

My grandmother was dying of brain cancer this year....my ability to play this song really lifted her spirits TYTYTY you're a great teacher and man i hope you keep it up.

BTW my grandma is alive to this day ^^

[251melabelle]

O.K....It is extremely helpful that you are putting the chords in the video as you are strumming. I have listened to this over and again! My first Eukele song...I fall apart at E7 AND I cannot strum correctly!RRRRRRRR! How did IZZY strum?

[bored464]

@251melabelle why would you try to learn this as your first ukelele

[Int3rv3ntionaddict]

MATE U ARE A LEGEND!!!!!!!!

[rubyheadred]

This is good, but the chords could do to come up more quickly. :}



[iwatchvideos57]

this makes me smile :)

[norazlybasarian]

Mike cool! Love this one!

[Dandanzoomzoom]

What is the tuning this needs to be in for Ukulele? I play guitar and just recently picked up a ukulele. Look on google but there are various different answers and some that say "there is no standard tuning" please help!

[nicelady51]

@Dandanzoomzoom Standard tuning is GCEA. Some songs call for the G or C to be lowered one octave and will note that. Take it to a music store, make sure you have good strings and buy a tuner. If you purchase new strings, you will need to tune it constantly at first, while they stretch. Don't forget to HAVE FUN.

[magicmike1122]

I learned this song less than 2 weeks ago and i played it to my mom and she teared up. Just wanted to say thanks Mike for the lesson!

[leonardoribs]

it's a concert or soprano?

[Elite452]

I didn't know the Jurassic Park guy could play the Uke

xD

[Kongtotoro]

because of you I have to buy a ukulele.

[SoulGlowActivater01]

The strum patern is an down down up up down up and he switches to a straight down up down up satanerd strum. And its an amazing saound i might ad

[kapuskasing64]

@SoulGlowActivater01 Thank you for that--I was wondering!

[asainforever0220]

ur adorable!!!!!!

[TheAlixAmanda]

Aww this is the cutest old man ever!! Halfway through this tutorial I resolved that this would be the first thing I'm gonna learn on the uke!!!

[CrazyShane2010]

What's the strumming pattern????? and you did an awesome job!

[jayciro]

Your getting down!! Nice work.

[paulingen69]

Really really great!! But where is the description box? i cant find the chords and lyrics.

[SubParWaffle]

@CeLesTiaLRampaGe It was Originally in the classic movie wizard of oz but idk who wrote it.

[simoan97]

Cute old mans :)

[saxcoltrane]

What's wrong with the real lyrics? Just because Iz didn't know the words to Over the Rainbow doesn't mean it has to be sung that way.

[ApollosAria00]

i think it would it would be beneficial if you actually taught the strum pattern. instead of just playing. that makes it hard to learn. its almost like just watching a cover, rather than a lesson.

[CeLesTiaLRampaGe]

who is the real author of this song? please tell me, i've been looking for it already for 2 years :(

[nickrobertiuke]

@CeLesTiaLRampaGe It was written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg.

[BryceeTB]

shit son, i know you get high.

[joe231098]

Really nice!!!

[lovelyliv2010]

B'awww he is such a cute old man

[billand714]

Is that a Tele Ukulelle?

[BlueDiamondPro]

Well. You are a wonderful player and great singer. I got a ukulele for christmas. i figured id add it to my repetoire of banjo, guitar, harmonica, and lap steel. Your amazing. You have a great voice as well.

[squints001]

I agree, the lyrics fall behind the vocals, and there's a few flubs toward the end where you get a little lost in the chord changes...can you PLEASE redo the video and have the chord changes and lyrics precede the vocals as they do in the beginning of the video. it would be a HUGE help.......thank you

[jeroen1237]

my ukulele doesn't sound that good, viva mike

[WorshipMyBikeOrDie]

[AsianBoiLol]

[danilovip400]

His music charms

[danilovip400]

do not stop posting so much talent you have is to be congratulated

[danilovip400]

I love that our music and you sing very well congratulations

[joelangwe]

Strumming pattern is down down up up down up.

[joelangwe]

Thx for this. Helped me slot in my lessons

[NinjaSpiderVI]

You know, you could very easily replace Em with G. It sounds the same.

[MamaSoFla]

This is really fun. However, the words and chords do not come up on the screen until slighty after you have already begun playing them. It would be much easier if the chords would be shown a couple of seconds before they are to be played. Thanks so much for posting these lessons!

[mbreyer23]

What kind of uke is that i like it. I of course went for a intermediate version of a lanikai. It sounds good and mellow just took an hour to tune it in to where it would stay(obviously due to nylgut strings vs steel that im used to)

[mbreyer23]

Great tips, just got home from oahu and picked up my new uke today. was a bass player for years so 4 string fits me . keep up the good work and i ll keep waiting for some new tabs to jam out

[Sn00pyDeluxe]

What kind of ukulele is this, and/or what you would you recommend getting as a first ukulele? I am left handed and am looking into getting a ukulele and am not totally sure what kind to get. (I have played acoustic guitar before, so I'm not a total beginner). Thanks! =)

[Wexfyf]

Nevermind found the vid.

[Wexfyf]

Strumming pattern? Help!

[gullyknully]

Very well played, Sir.  Keep up the good work!

[Iamthecandyman100]

Idk how the strum pattern goes and how much you have to play em :l..... im a noob....

[honradaboy123]

@Iamthecandyman100 idk the sp either, but he clearly puts the chord over the word to see where to change the chord.

[schnisha95]

@honradaboy123 strumming pattern is down-down-up-up-down-up, he explained it in his main channel.

[schnisha95]

@Iamthecandyman100 strumming pattern is down-down-up-up-down-up, he explained it in his main channel.
