  • Well, that's a good intro to the chords. Thanks wish to learn more Songs

  • i thought the chords are g c Am f....

    which r right urs or mine??

  • What size is your uke? I've got a soprano banjolele and I'm thinking of getting one a little larger.

  • I'm getting a uke soon, and I tried to look for songs i really liked. Could you tell me any easy songs that i could practice on, before I got on hard ones? Kthanks. It would help a bunch. C:

  • How nice... Thanks

  • Sway your head... and smile. THAT is THE single best thing taught in this video. seriously. AND the teaching of the actual song was already E-P-I-C!

  • you so goood at singing:0

    iwish i coud sing like you:(.

    please coud you look at my page and my videos.

    thankssss xxx

  • You shouldn't smile in your videos! It's really cute and very distracting! =] Thanks for posting. I'll need a lot of practice on this one! lol!

  • Thanks for this video, i searched for hours for a semi beginner video on how to play this song and this was the only decent one i found. I was wondering about the fifth chord tho, around 1:11 in the video u say that u probably know where that lands and i actually have no idea when that chord is supposed to land so if you could explain that to me i would be soooo thankful!

  • 00:01

  • how long does it take to learn a uke when ure actually trying? coz i got one yesterday and i have no music experience ahaha.

  • @kiddpinoy23 The ukulele I bought came with simple songs like happy birthday, amazing grace, simple things. I have a guitar background so it came naturally and was able to play the day I bought it and started writing my first song that week. Learn the basics, Learn the easy songs with easy chords, and build from there. Sometimes the hardest thing is actually making the commitment and going out and buying the instrument..so you're halfway there :) baby steps..

  • @kiddpinoy23 if you get REAL complicated in to the uke it can have thousands of chord formations and different keys you play it in. but most of the stuff sounds good because its a happy instrument regardless :P just learn chord formations and then try to learn to play 2-3 popular songs (very well) and then experience comes so much easier after that

  • @kiddpinoy23 it took me about 2 hours to learn 12 songs. but then again it took me less than a month to teach myself accordion (;

  • @kiddpinoy23 took me a month or 2 to just get the basic strumming chords down and learn 5-7 songs, but I have been teaching myself from youtube videos. I found it very easy for me to pick up, even though it is my 1st instrument as well. You can go to my channel where I have a bunch of Ukulele training videos that have helped me learn if ya like. Good luck buddy. Great tutorial btw jcvanluyn, will add it to my ukulele training list. :]

  • Ive been playing uke for around four days now, and love it! its so beautiful. this song is great to learn, and your awesome at teaching it :D cheers brother

  • @69jackyboy69 isn't it a beautiful "bigger than my body" instrument ? :D

  • cant believe they removed the I'm Yours cover:(

  • hey. great video. but there's an easier way to play this song... hopefully i find the time to make and post a video to show you. :)

  • that's not much help..... "the first chord is like this, then like this, then this, and then like this, and then you go like this"............ thanks for the help :|

  • would you know the name of the chords?

  • @hiazn69 I just posted the name of the chords as annotations on the video..

  • "fourth fret.... on the fourth....uh.. string... "=]

    very helpful video

    and yes, you have a beautiful smile

    btw...

    your covers are amazing!

  • my string under E, sound herrible, the C string. its like really terrible even whne its tuned!

  • I will practice your pattern!

  • is your uke high G or low G?

    i can't decide what to get for my first uke.

    thanks for the tutorial though and i will refer back to this when i get mine!

  • do this do this then do this gee thanks alot

  • @McChikenWangz lol..were you expecting some type of voodoo magic without practice?

  • @McChikenWangz

    Chicken im guessing you dont pay much attention to what he says throughout the video. I watched this a few times before I got my Ukulele and because of this video Im getting pretty close to being able to play this song smoothly. Jcvanluyn is doing a great job at doing this tutorial if he can teach a person with no musical experience to play a song like this. You just don't know how to pay attention i guess.

  • thank you so much! This is by far the most comprehensive tutorial i have come across! I learned this no problem thanks to you, cheers!

  • lol cute face and nice smile i can't concentrat to practic it

  • ....just teach me. what is this?

  • Can you post again your old cover?

  • thanks for posting this !

  • =/ the cover is gone. i remembered watching it a long time ago! but why did this one get a copyright violation and others dont?

  • hallo jc!

    no, i never wanted to play that ukulele, i just enjoy watching you performing. (-;

    keep on that good stuff, follow your heart!

    that kind of string-thing reminds me on a german kind of entertainer, Stafan Raab. perhaps you know him?

    i think his best work is done with musik. i`ll send a video-response: Busta Rhymes and him. take a seat! (-;

    best wishes from Germany, parcelpanic

  • niyce

  • Oh i think that´s a really good cover of I´m yours well done 5 stars ;)

  • OMG; it's gone! I want an mp3! ;w; The cover is gone! xwx; Upload it again? :]

  • crap why do i have to listen to this to get the song i want

  • no importa lo que otros digan haces un muy buen trabajo, felicidades

  • lovin' the wee turtles on the ukulele

  • Good video, I'm sure it'd help. This is a pretty famous song and it could help other artists around the YT neighborhood.

  • I definitily like it better when u smile that when u put those sad/dramatic faces on your videos XD

    makes me wanna try to play the ukelele... but long ago I tried to play the guitar n I end hurting my fingers......n ruining my nails >: P ...plus I've small hands aaaand wtf.... bunch of scuses.... I just don't have any discipline, well, I prefere to pass by n listen you to play....

  • thanks for enjoying my covers and thinking that they're great=) I'll definitely be releasing some more...

  • @ Skelb- so you're telling him to release more covers, but you might unsubscribe if he does because you don't think they're any good?

    ...

  • no. i just like the music. i was saying i may unsubscribe if a bunch more videos of non music come out. i dont wanna see that. i just want music

  • Thank you! I loved this video!

  • hola JC, wow your first tutorial video, that's a great idea. I like how the font starts off all pro instruction too. I can barely play mandolin because of the neck width. I admire your Uke skills ***** :D

  • that's awesome! can't wait to hear=)

  • I love the sound of the ukulele

    Thank you for the upload of the tutorial

  • Politeness.

  • thank you so much! please make more tutorials..could you help me with all my life by kc and jojo

  • I can't even hear the video

  • wonder if anybody else has this problem =(

  • I noticed one thing that would be very helpful. Also You did a very good job at explaining, but im not suprised because in the military you learn leadership and I almost forgot Sargents Time Training on Thursdays or Fridays. Im pretty sure you traind your fellow comrades, therefore teaching on youtube will be easy for u. Follow your dreams and soar to heights because you are your only enemy. Take care and I sent u some messages but u never replied. Sorta got me feeling down.

  • this might be the best way to chat with me, when I am uploading my vids..hope all is well with you my friend..

  • whys it so quite :'(
