HOW TO PLAY EASY UKULELE part 2 Major chords and easy version of ‘The Blitzkrieg Bop’ to play
WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO LEARN TO PLAY UKULELE
IT STRUCK ME THAT THOUGH THERE ARE MANY PLACES ON THE INTERNET WHERE YOU CAN GET ALL SORTS OF AMAZINGLY GOOD TUTORIALS (PARTICULARLY ON YOUTUBE)
THERE ARE VERY FEW THAT CATER FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER PLAYED THE UKE, OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, BEFORE
SO I DECIDED TO PRODUCE A SERIES OF UKULELE TUTORIALS THAT AN ABSOLUTE BEGINNER CAN USE TO LEARN HOW TO GET A TUNE OUT OF THE THING!
SO IF YOU’VE JUST BOUGHT, FOUND, OR BEEN GIVEN A UKELELE,
OR ARE THINKING OF TRYING ONE,
THESE VIDEOS ARE DESIGNED FOR YOU
IF YOU ALREADY PLAY UKULELE AND ARE LOOOKING TO IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE THESE VIDEOS ARE DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU — BUT THERE IS LOADS OF STUFF ON YOUTUBE THAT WILL HELP YOU SO GOOD HUNTING!

Hi im learning how to play a ukulele But im still having problems , with the G cord.
Thank You. Sir. Very very Nice
Thankyou sir, I like this video. God bless for you of all.
Well put together lessons for a beginner. I enjoy playing both the Uke and the banjo uke. I have both store bought instruments, and a few homemade ones that I made from scratch. They are quite easy to build at a low cost. Keep up the good work.
Thanks !!
You are very good😃👍
best teacher
sorry should have added it for the Blitz bob, lesson 2
Really struggling to see the "up, down" parts for the the C, F, C that comes after you have played the C, F, G parts 3 times. My pause button not quick enough 😥
Great video
Very helpful
Are my fingers to short or holding it wrong? I can't do it😔
I,m 67 just got a ukulele for christmas my fingers dont do this at least not yet great job on the lesson
gosh its difficult
Hi thanks for your lessons I like your style so easy to follow i had a banjo uke for 3 weeks I brought it to help take my mind away from the constant pain I have through Sciatica some days i find it difficult to play but your videos are a great help thank you for your generous time helping we novice strummers.
I have asked my grandchildren to buy me a ukelele for Xmas the smaller size will be easy to hold.
Have you an easy cord sheet to play dueling banjos our a video the first time i heard it I wanted a banjo thanks again Peter.
Thank u…so much for the teaching
lets hear some more poems soon
Just got my new strings put on my Ukulele!! Now I do have natural long nails, even cut pretty short, I feel like if they were extremely short it would help. Do you find this to be helpful for a beginner? Thank you Chili!! I will practice practice practice and practice some more time allowing of course. Also noticed that even with ny new strings, it still goes out of tune pretty easily but better than the original factory ones that came on it. Any tips? Happy strumming and look forward to all your videos!! Can I find them in order? Lots of questions I know. Thamks soo much!;)
thanks
E chord is hard for me..😐😐
my son surprised me with a ukulele for mother's days!!! I love it and have been watching you tube to learn how to play. my finger tips hurt
My first lesson. Here goes – world tour starts nest week lol
I have just excuse the pun tuned into your site and I have joined yours because you seem to understand how a beginner thinks and with all these cords coming up while you show us exactly what we want all I can say is brill keep up the good work.
This made my day, thanks!
when I play b it sounds like nothing. so confused
I can't seem to keep a strumming pattern… Any tips?

That transition from F to G!
My question is, why don't us a thumb?
hate you
very help full thanks
Chili – thank you for the lessons. At what point do you suggest advancing to the next lesson? I have learned the chords, but cannot keep up with the song. Should I wait until I can play the Ramones or just keep moving forward?(And the pain does disappear after a bit of practice)
I'm in awe (really, my jaw dropped at one point of this vid!)
I love you, thank you for sharing and blessings from Buenos Aires, maestro!
This is painfull. I never knew playing the ukulele hurt so much.
Thank you
how do you place your fingers on tbe chords? I try to do them and theyre far from what yours sound like. anyone?
Good job sir
your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos, I know they're rather old, but they're very useful. This is the first time I've attempted making music and I absolutely love the ukulele. Thanks mate.
i get confused you keep altering the strumming pattern.
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I'm feeling pretty happy that as a 3 day old Uke player, I'm playing the Ramones!!!
First of all thanks for this and all of your other videos, they are incredibly helpful! Question though, what is the count of up and down strums for the C, F, C in the chorus starting at 10 minutes into the video? I'm struggling to figure it all out. Secondly, is there any trick, besides tons of practice, to make the smooth transition from F to G? Thanks!
