  • @jhfjhgtf i did that because I knew some people would want to learn the riff and others would just want to know the chords. the last one was for beginners who need more help with strumming. let's look at the statistics: for all three videos I have a total of 1390 likes and 82 dislikes. That means for every 1 person that disliked this video (like you), 17 liked it. I rest my case.

  • Thumbs up if you paused the video to close out all the crap on the screen

  • @shortycake408 Most ukuleles are almost completely symmetrical, unlike guitars. You could probably just reverse the strings like guitar2adam said and play it like that.

    The only concern might be if you have something like a nubone mount at the end of the ukulele which is a slightly different height for each string, but that would probably only affect the intonation a little.

  • Those that are saying to cut his nails don't play stringed instruments do you? Left hand is trimmed to play the chords and the right hand has nails to strum instead of using a pick.

  • i dont get how to read the notes can u explian plz? :(

  • @keloha3

    You need nails like that to play classical guitar. You need to get that rod out of your ass.

  • trim your nails bro

  • Where didi

  • @bug31500 Seriously, if you feel more comfortable playing lefty, reverse the order of the strings and flip the uke upside down. Tada! Lefty uke!
