The Lion Sleeps Tonight (ukulele)

[LozKent]

[coolakiIlen007]

[THEORIGINALMOneyMaKa]

[xXListenToBobXx]

[MatalPark]

you'll notic it fits way better to play a C majo instead of a C7

[JO3SMITH1]

Dude cool vid but i have to say u look like that king guy in role models

[SaltPower]

cool

[dovebird22]

if the contest was to confuse 100k people.....you win!!!!

[dovebird22]

too confusing man

[Menyus18]

Can you tell me you`re ukulele tunnings pls?

[123Ihategay]

@Menyus18 standard GCEA

[MrAlwaysright1980]

I was loving this video then you went and fucked it up b u keep saying the wrong chords and correcting it.... confusing as hell!!

[kingkongkk92]

is this a concert ukulele?

[jazzju]

@kingkongkk92, yup! It's a concert Oscar Schmidt that I got for around $50.

[09yeahAZ]

Trop fort ! :D

[rolypolyman888]

Thanks it really helped me. I haven't played as well though because i cant get the right tuning

[pabpilpen]

great video. what type of ukulele are you using ...soprano/tenor and the make? what would you suggest i get as my first??

[smellthatkush]

jeremy?

more like yoshi hamamoto

[CONEJAROSA]

i dont now ow to read the A G C and all the singles notes...HELP!!!! T_T

[aliedesuacido]

lol i hsve the exzact same ukulele as you!!!! lol i bought mine at best buy

[pabpilpen]

@aliedesuacido what ukulele would that be?... i'm looking to buy my first, any suggestions?

[aliedesuacido]

@pabpilpen i would buy a soprano there are 4 types: concert baritone soprano tenor

soprano is the standard and is what most people have and im prtty sure its the cheapest ,concert is like a soprano but mor expensive and has a fuller sound tenor is bigger with a even more fuller sound and can hav up to 8 strings baritone is the most expensive and is huge almost a mini guitar so yea get the soprano its cheaper its wat most ppl buy and its great for learning

[jezus206]

yea really confusing when your covering most of the notes, cant really see what your holding

[ElectricBlue45]

this isnt good, do it to fast and dont show the chord finger positions.

[wiseguy0330]

Thank you!!

Took me a lil while to learn but ive got it now

[Splurgendii]

I-IV-iii ??? never seen that progression before

[zagreen]

@Splurgendii

....F is the tonic, which means Bb is the subdominant, C is the dominant.... I-IV-I-V..... iii would be am.

[Splurgendii]

OH!!! ya i don't know what i was thinking. You're right!

[sirmarksalot]

I don't understand how to pluck the F string. And for your G pluck, aren't you plucking the E string?

Thanks

[Nsxyy]

when your plucking how do you know where the notes are????

[jazzju]

Uh... each fret is a different note, so you just gotta memorize it. I don't really know how else.

[TrancetasticWilza]

ask your girlfriend? ;p

[bibissaldana]

@Nsxyy each string is a different note G, C, E, A. If you play the G sting on the first fret you would be playing G Sharp, then the second fret would be A, then A sharp, then B, then C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, and so on. It is the same for all strings, the second string (from top to bottom) first fret would be C sharp, then D, D sharp, E and so on.

[pijaman90]

cool ukelele

[M3AFUA]

goin too fast..

[PacificSurgeNJ]

i have that same ukulele!

[evanhickam]

I just got my uke 2 days ago.  I've never even held one or played any string instrument in my life. My only experience reading sheet music was 2 years in middle school (trumpet) I'm almost 30 years old. The plucking thing is still a mystery to me. Having said all that, I've managed to put this song together thanks to this tutorial. Fun! Thanks man!

[jazzju]

You're welcome. I'm glad that someone got some use out of this.

[biglewhill]

i have mass respect for you brother :)

any chance of anyone telling me what this uke is? i would LOVE to purchse one, its beautiful :)

thanks x

[jemmijay]

me too!

[wwword]

[jnsano]

Great Job! even I can get this!!!

I am not the best at singing so finding the melody in the chords is great for me. The lyons wont be sleeping tonight as I'm trying to learn this one! lol

[gameoverovr]

AWSOMEE thanks! even thought my uke is all out of tune >__> and sounds really bad haha

[thomGX]

THANK YOU !!!

[MCPaddyB]

Mint, cheers dude!

[poopymcgee123]

have you tried the down up up chunk? i just made this up and you do the down up up chunk twice and then switch chords.

[ficklefiend]

Cool instructional videos! I think I'm going to get myself a ukelele soon, they look good fun!

[NEWKOMMA]

sounds a little bit like the scientist from coldplay

[Powermind251]

[jpralston]

[HELLOMYNAMEISCASSIE1]

i just need the fingering

i have teach myslef to ply instuments

cello

guitar

piano

bass

i want to teach my self the ukelele but its too hard

cab i have some help please?

[jazzju]

Playing the ukulele is similar to the guitar. Just think top four strings...

[HELLOMYNAMEISCASSIE1]

ok thankyou

[HEARTonFIRE4JC]

@jazzju thats not ture, the uke is GCEA, the guitar is EADG.... totally not the same lol....

[HEARTonFIRE4JC]

whoops i meant true not ture

[BlendingBlueBirds]

@HELLOMYNAMEISCASSIE1 if u dont have a ukulele, then play your guitar in standard tuning and place a capo on the 5th frett and just play the strings 1-4, it'll be similar to playing a steel string ukulele, just dun play the 5th and 6th string lolz

[heycharlieathome]

Thanks for that :)

[musicme11]

what kinda ukulele should i get if i am a begginer

[jbirsner]

Nice job. Thank you for the effort.

[notyetlaughing]

how is ur ukulele tuned?

gcea?? linear tuned??

[jazzju]

My uke is tuned in the usual GCEA tuning (with high G) I'm not sure what linear tuned is.

[notyetlaughing]

thanks for the reply!!

Linear tuning is with the high g, like IZ had it.. it's called linear tuning.. thankyou again!!!

[iamrobbyah]

very well done, sir! we need to have another meet, so u guys can teach me a lil somethin.

[ukuman007]

Jazzju, don't listen to that Chinese2357's crap. You are good, keep it coming.

[pistike28]

Nice job!

[jazzju]

Thanks. I don't know how other folks make such great tutorials. It was really hard just to make this simple one.

[numpers]

why it look like u was suckin on something sour?

[jazzju]

I think it's just an asian characteristic. ;-) Probably too much pickled vegetables as a child...

[chinese2357]

this is the worst tutorial i have ever watched

[jazzju]

I guess you've been a very lucky youtube viewer. There's much worse out there than me.
