[womanteria]

aww this is so lovely! you have a wonderful voice and your voice is great. and thanks for the chords :)

[PurpleHelicopter]

What chords are you using?? :o

[cargy930]

I've been teaching myself uke for about 6 weeks now, and I was thrilled to find some chords that weren't over-simplified, and missing much of the song's character. I've uploaded a cover of it based on your chord sequence and linked it to your vid to show how it SHOULD be done!

Many thanks for this great vid.

[uketricks]

@cargy930 I just checked out your cover! It's great! Good job! :)

[cargy930]

@uketricks You're farr to kind, but I'm working on getting better. You've certainly given me something to aim at. Thanks again for your tutorial with the easy-to-follow chord tabs.

[SuperMramBo]

Very charming! I enjoyed this so much, it almost seems as though it comes naturally to you, which I'm guessing it does. You've inspired me to have a go now, thank you!

[ganzagwenie]

About a week ago I saw LP perform "Into the wild" in which she plays a ukulele, and I was so inspired that I went out and bought a uke the next day. I've been watching your videos and I just wanted to thank you for posting them... I can't believe the progress I've made in such a short time. Also, your rendition of this song is so charming that now I'm actually thinking of performing it for my friend at her wedding shower.

[uketricks]

@ganzagwenie thanks for your comment! This would be a great song to play for a friend. It's one of my favorites! :)

[tomcripps7]

[IrishLebaneseBeast]

the chord changes in this song are pretty difficult haha. but, hey, I've only been trying for 10 minutes :P

[FruityUkuladies]

pineapple ukulele girl thinks you should take our watermelon ukulele out on a date! ;-)

[ThatChrispyOne]

i thought this would take me ages to learn but once you learn the strange chords you are pretty much there. thanks for this :D i still have trouble with this strum pattern but i tend to improvise with that and it still sounds just as good :) now all i need is a voice to sing with >.<

[natesquared]

@ThatChrispyOne keep on practicing and you'll get it eventually!

[LiliTibet]

I'm in love with you ! haha this song on the uké is so amazing !!!

[uketricks]

@LiliTibet hah, glad you enjoy! it's probably my favorite song!

[NoobGroupGamers]

wow thats amazing O: but whats the strumming pattern

[ZchayJr]

like if you only know this song because of toys stories ;P nice pick

[ductape2468]

I am using the tabs you posted and I am having memorizing them (I have to be looking at the screen to know how the song goes) and I cant seem to change chords fast enough. (I try to switch from F to F#dim7 and it always takes me to long. (same with other chords) If you could give me adivice that would help Thanks.

[uketricks]

@ductape2468 there are some hard chord changes in this song, so make sure you have the chord fingerings down where you don't have to even think about it before you try playing it. Keep up the practice :) it'll come soon enough.

[ductape2468]

@uketricks Thanks. and how do you memorize the songs and when to change the note.

[MyselfMeUkulele]

This deserves a friend add! a sub! a comment! and an invite! not just because I love ukuleles but because you make this song beautiful.

[tellmewhatsahappenin]
