I’ve watched more (bad) uke tutorials than I’d like to admit. All the hemming and hawing, all the discussion of how to refer to the strings (top to bottom? 1-2-3-4? 4-3-2-1? and no one ever seems to refer to the strings actual note names), and I mean, how many times do I need to be taught how to finger a C chord? I’ve got it. And let me now paraphrase the lovely Jared: some tutorials present an advanced song in the most beginner-y of terms, as though you’ve never picked up an instrument before. So let’s get real, here. You’re not gonna learn this right off the bat.
The point is, I was very happy to discover this tutorial by Ukulelezaza, which is joyfully lacking in those characteristics. This is the perfect ukulele tutorial for the semi-intermediate-to-almost-advanced-beginner: just the song itself, really well-played, with an always-clear view of the fingerboard. The coolest thing about this tutorial is that you can start looking at all his other videos as tutorials as well, which I have. (This one and this one, for example! And this—it seems difficult.) I’m on a roll, here.
Thanks for sharing these videos! I like checking out different tutorials as well. I’m glad you’ve found a learning style that suits you. Happy strumming my friend!
Of course! I’m so happy to have found Ukulelezaza! 🙂
