[jjsomethin]

I have the same ukulele!!! :D

[MrAssumpter]

dude you need to play the whole song for us to see it all together, great tutorial though

[lolffels]

I glad to see I'm not the only uke-bro. Great vid man! You really know your stuff!

[mattonthebmix]

Any chance of doing a vid where you play it all together? Nice one.

[peejweej]

wow, so i was wondering..

when are you gonna marry me? ;)

[jhfjhgtf]

i was looking for picking songs but got frustated dat i couldnt find any and then i decided dat i wanted to learn this song and look a song with picking :D

[cometogether24]

that was a huge help .. thanks 

[AirForce576]

Is this a lu 21 concert? Btw good job man.

[stellabeanprouts]

that was so helpful! just got a ukulele for christmas, same one as yours, and this will be the first song i learn thanks to you :)

[rajeevbat]

Thanks for the video.. But in the intro, why go to A minor when you're just plucking C,E and A strings.. Isn't it unnecessary?

[Kawaii522]

dude this is soo good but i cant get the hang yet Dx

[maddiedowling]

Your amazing at ukulele and you make this song so much easier to play! Thanks :)

[skater51540]

I don't know why you don't have more likes! I also saw another tutorial on uke underground (love that site) but although I love Aldrine, your tutorial was way better!

[logikblok]

Thanks for that bro

[TheSisstah]

Your and amazing player......and kinda cute

[TraciBabi]

1. my fav jack johnson song

2. way to rep bmore

[SkoofusTheDoofus]

Most people who do tutorials just show the chords and play it with the song so you get the beat and stuff. but you showed everything, sick plucking, verses chorus and bridge chords, and the dope sauce ending solo thing. THank you sooo much for putting this up.

(bty I really really wish I had you uke instead of mine)

[ipathbomb92]

Helped a ton, thanks so much for posting!

[sopheeyaa]

*orders ukelele*

[themillionsofpeople1]

respect, lax bro

[CrackerGuy007]

You makin my head num. ;)

[BBMBTV1]

THANK YOU!

[622dani]

Very good job explaining! I dont even play the Uke and I feel like I could pick one up and instantly play this song after your teachings. Bravo :)

[Clydieooo]

Thanks for the video, it's great and made it really easy to learn. Only thing I'm unsure about at the moment is the "chuck" or "chunk" thing in the bridge. What do you do then because it sounds like you're holding the strings to make a dead sound but it doesn't look like you are. How or what are you doing then?

[johnsmithredskins]

@lxboy9 Did you figure out the picking for the middle part yet? It would be really helpful if you could post a video on that.

[chelseabat]

[zacksmacksback]

awesome vid man you helped me tons bro! it took me forever to find this video haha all the other ones and tabs just show the 4-5 chords used...no picking. btw i got the same uke! keep up the good work!

[urgoing21134]

dude u botched Lanikai so bad...

Its La-knee-ky

[TheCooterMonster]

thanks man, good vid. i have the same lanikai LU-21 uke, its nice

[natters2]

thanks so much.. going to practice on my flea :)

[WelcomeToMyLife247]

hey...can you explain to me exactly what/how a "chunk" works lol

[karuma9410]

@WelcomeToMyLife247 exactly like a muted strum. it's called a chunk cuz obviously it makes a chunking sound xD

[rainn626]

good tutorial! but whats the point of playing the Am chord during the intro picking?

[lxboy9]

honestly there is no point i just like to do it cuz you switch between those same chords for the chorus and verse.

[georgesell123]

I know this sounds stupid but what bit do you mean by the bridge? And also, is the picking the same as the verses for the bit where the lyrics are 'You can't stop nothing if you got no control of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know'?

[lxboy9]

that's the middle picking that i didn't show in the video. i'll get it eventually though

[SullivanSublime]

@lxboy9 yeah can you please hop on that lol because thats my favorite part and i really want to know the picking for it

[NFHfilms]

sweet lax penny

[lxboy9]

i lax hard lol

[HHuskies9]

@NFHfilms soo dope...lax and uke all day

[magnificentmikey]

Great video same uke!

[am1shvom1t]

Decent video, thanks for the instruction. "I can tell your not Jamaican by the way you don't have dreads" lol! BTW.. your strings look a little out of place on the pegs. I think you turned the thinnest string's peg the wrong way. "DOAH!" Keep on rockin!

[lxboy9]

my brother strung it, i was just waiting for someone to point that out lol

[austinskates14]

ooh koo leh leh

thats how for pronounce em' brah

[gsgasz]

dude your resouloution in the camera is amazing. so easy to see what your doing with your hands. great vid.

[kaeka14]

you don't even know the name of your ukulele . you pronounced it all wrong . i can tell your not hawaiian

[lxboy9]

you can tell i'm not hawaiian just by looking at me, i'm mad white. and sorry i mispernounced it but literally none of this has anything to do with the lesson

[oahuxgrown]

yeah, who cares how he pronounces it, they beyond the point of the video. :)

[oahuxgrown]

lol you dont have to be hawaiian to plaay uke you know. theres people in the mainland who play. obviously they arent going to know the pernounciations LOL :p

[lxboy9]

boom kaeka. roasted

[UkeWahine]

one more thing. The chorus. I think it's C-C-Am-G, but i'm not 100% sure. Just noticed you didn't mention it

[lxboy9]

verse and chorus are both C Em Am G

[UkeWahine]

yah i realized that! that would be great! i can play the stuff i just can't figure it out!

[UkeWahine]

thanks, this tutorial is really good! it took me a couple of days but now i can do all the picking!! great job

[lxboy9]

thanks man, but sorry to say theres one more picking pattern that's in the middle of the song that i didn't know how to play when i made this but i'll put a vid of that up, i'd love to hear you play the song man

[platinum325]

nice tutorial man!

[supertubos11]

sounds goot dude, keep the good work up!!
