Marcy, this video is one of the first ones I ever sat in front of the computer with my uke to. And MOST of it is something I now play every day. It would be the first chord melody song I learned if not for a few rusty parts. My main headache is that pesky 'B' passage. I also need to bring the instrument back to the computer desk to refine it. I can't express my thanks enough to you, and I'm sure it will come in the form of a response video in the near future :)

This is by far the best tutorial for this song i have come across, so thanks :)

Do you happen to have a tab for it by any chance?

You are so good....not just that you play well, but you have fun with the song! In West Virginia, the "back-porch pickers" always say.....It's not how good you play, it's how good you feel!" I'm sure everyone that sees your video is singing along as you play, and your teaching is right on the mark too! THANKS!

@miarosie Marcy appears to be using a pendulum strum where her hand goes down up... dudududu, but it doesn't hit every down nor every up. I starts out d du udu, d du udu, but she varies it to fit the melody. Sometimes she plays d d dux ,dux d d where x is a down up that doesn't get played. She does this in the line that goes, 'Oh what those five feet could do.' I think she may hit some of those silent du ever so lightly, but you'll have to wait for Marcy to clear that up. Hope this helps.
