I searched high and low to find how to play this song the original way and for someone to explain it so I could get it. Thank you for being that person! Loved this tutorial!
remember to be realistic - you'll have to do a bit of work whichever method you use for learning to play the uke I've been researching into teaching yourself uke and found an awesome resource at Arthurs Uke Blog (check it out on google)
I agree with everyone that you are a gifted teacher who makes difficult and complex playing accessible even to relative beginners. I have loved this song ever since of course watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. Never thought I would be able to play it one day. Wonder if you could do a tutorial one day on how you extract the chords and strum patterns from a song. It's so hard to imagine myself saying, "yeah that was an Em6 and that other one was C# dim."
Cynthia, you are, without a doubt, the best most positive uku teacher out there. I’m a definite beginner, but with your help, I’m so confident. Thank you.
Спасибо вам большое! Такая удобная версия табулатуры, да еще и объясняете подробно как пальцы переставлять!❤ Сидела учила другую версию и не могла сыграть, а тут пол часа и всё получилось! Спасибо вам за ваш труд!
That fingerpicking is so gorgeous. I love your progressive teaching. All the way from single strum to elaborate fingerpicking in a few minutes' time! Thank you.
Trying to learn this in Gambia as a Volunteer Medic,bringing my Uke and by far you are the best teacher ! Thank you for giving me a chance to learn a new skill at my age and making it fun to learn .Keep teaching your methods are fresh air!!
Thank you so much, my 94 year old nanna requested this song after we watched Breakfast at Tiffany's together. I am a beginner but have kept up with the first verse, and I am doing 15 minutes a day. You are a wonderful tutor.
Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me
Of all the tutorial channel I watched on RU-vid, yours is the most easy to follow; and not only do I love your lessons, I am big on your voice too. It's so calming and soothing. Thank you Cynthia for doing what you are doing
I have listened and followed many tutorials and your methods are the best and most complete, I have found. You make it very easy to learn all facets of the music. Thank you, you are appreciated.
I'm getting a ukelele for my birthday in a couple weeks or so, I play guitar a bit already so hope I'll pick it up a little quicker than starting from scratch. Your tutorials are really well laid out and you have a lovely voice. I'm enjoying just watching, I can't wait to start learning.
Thank you so, so much Cynthia!!!❤❤❤❤❤ I have been practicing this song to help entertain a dear 96-year-old family friend who just had his right leg amputated, and he sobbed when I played for him yesterday ❤❤❤
Saw your video because of a Shawn Bolz video. Two things I would like to say. 1) the Ukulele should be highlighted by Bethel Music 2) Would like some prayers for my Mom. (healing from parkinson's) 2a) Great video ! : )
Thank you Cynthia! I am a complete beginner and your tutorials are so easy to follow and understand! It's my 2nd day learning Moon River and I'm getting better already! 😉😊😘
OK, perfect for filling in the hours of Pandemic Isolation. Thanks, Cynthia for helping to get through this, BTW my ukelele will be here in a few days.
Hi Cynthia,love your tutorials.I'm practicing this song on the piano, but I'm a beginner at ukulele.I practiced Aloha oe,this is the second song.Both songs are beautiful.Ukulele-healing❣️thank you!
Dear Cynthia, thank you so much for sharing your love of music with us. You are really a remarkable teacher. This tutorial has been so helpful. Sending Light your way. ✨🙏🏼💫
Hello Cynthia. I have just started playing the Ukulele with my friend,we are going to lessons but also following you to, you are lovely and easy to follow. Thank you so much
I've been watching this Friday/Saturday to learn it and today, at work, I caught myself signing "[...] somedaaayyy barbeeseveeeen" *facepalm*. It's one of my favourite to play so far, thank you do much for making those!
I love your version, I love how you've laid it all out, I love that you provide a lead sheet WITH THE TABS, you are doing a great GREAT thing for ALL uke players. Thank you. I live overseas and some local friends actually don't know this song!!! So i've made a goal to have this as my new cover song for the summer. Your tutorial made it a breeze....no thinking or chord transposing or hard musical work.
I've been looking for a decent site to learn, though I have quite a few Uku in my collection, I just haven't been able to get around learning to play properly!! Now after finding this channel I'm sold!! Thanks
I recently was hit with the urge to learn ukulele so I'm SO glad for your channel. thank you so much for all your great content! you're an excellent teach and the way you structure your videos is so great!
Aloha Cynthia, I know this is a tremendously old video but I just want to thank you for such great tutorials. I keep coming across your videos every time I want to learn how to do more than strum for a song. Thank you!
Cynthia you so marvelously break down your tutorials and give me -a total beginner- hope that one day I may be able to play this beautiful song. Thank you for your tips and step by step guides and for sharing aloha with the world =)
I started watching your videos as Im a new ukulele player...ever since I saw your tutorials, I started practicing not just 5 mins a day buy 3 hrs even.... And I've had tons of progress with your tutorials, more than any other youtube ukulele tutor. I get excited to learn the next song the next day
Awesome sing from my best tutor!,you just inspired me into kulele jazz.l never thought such a small tiny instrument can go this far!,you rock please give us more from that are.l play guitar never thought l'd find myself playing kulele.
You made it so easy for me to follow your finger picking techniques! Im really having a hard time when it comes to finger picking. Thanks to your videos! You are awesome! ❤
How is it you can you play the chords, give instructions before playing that chord, sing so well, strum, pick,count, smile and stay looking so pretty, calm. So very well done!
YES!!! After so much searching for a suitable version for Ukulele with a decent picking, I finally found it! You've been thanked by so many views and subscribers, but thanks again!
Thank you very much, dear Cynthia, for this excellent turturial. All your turturials are well explained and very easy to understand. In addition, there is your beautiful voice, which is in no way inferior to the original with Moon River. It is really a pleasure to play the song with you over and over again.
thank you so much for the video! I am still a beginner and need more practice on this piece but it did help me greatly! Moonriver is my ultimate goal for now and I can't wait to play it with no mistakes:)
Hi Cynthia , first of all thanks for everything. I learned how to play less than two weeks, you're the best ukulele teacher on youtube ! I need to ask you a question , I can't find all the chords I want especially rock songs and I couldn't find The Smith's songs. Is there anyway that we can convert guitar chords to ukulele chords. Can you make a tutorial about it? Thank you! From İstanbul with love
Cunthia: además de ser una mujer bellísima y talentosa, es una excelente maestra: por su paciencia y dedicación. No he visto a ningún maestro tener estas cualidades. Estoy aprendiendo mucho y muy rápido, jamás pensé tocar el Ukulele y menos aún tener a alguien como Ud. Como maestra. Me he inscrito a su canal para seguir todos sus videos y tutoriales. Mil gracias por sus enseñanzas y su dedicación es ud. Extraordinaria y lo repito nuevamente: bellísima. Sus tutoriales transmiten mucha paz y relajación. Por lo que aprender es un placer. Muchas gracias y tiene mi like a este video. Un saludo.
Great tutorial with amazing voice. Thanks for the learning. And making things easier for us to know especially for beginners like me. Its dream come true. More power to u and thanks for sharing your talents to others.
This was the first time I learned about finger stacking for the bar chord and I'm sooooo grateful as a beginner. I chose to learn this song because my 11 year old was singing it one day and I was amazed she knew the words. Thank you for your tutorials. They are wonderful .
I've been a guitarist for 55 years and picked up a kooky uke last year and I'm hooked!!! What a wonderful instrument and what a wonderful tutor you are Cynthia. Trouble is I'm a rubbish vocalist. Fancy moving over to Yorkshire UK Cynthia?
Alternative beginner strum is to pluck the C string instead of g. Gives a lot more melody (since a lot more notes change there) and a bit of bass, so to speak, to the standard high g tuning. Absolutely beautiful and great tutorial again :)
I really like your tutorial. It not only teach to play a song also in different ways for beginner and advanced.Thank you so much and wish you a good day.
I'm so ecstatic to have found your channel! I'm a complete beginner to ukulele but I can't stand when I do a basic tutorial and the sound is off because the chords are too simple. Your chords are perfect and I love the challenge. (I'm also more into fingerpicking than strumming so I'm so glad you gave that option) Your channel also happens to have so many of the songs on my list of songs to learn. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your awesome content. I'm def joining your patreon to help support and maybe get a Space Oddity tutorial that I saw you performed in another video.
Aloha! Thank you for your beautiful orchestrated tutorials! As a beginner, you are inspiring and gives much confidence to the possibilities of accomplishing something by the end of your tutorials. Thank you❣️
I'm new to the uke, love how you explain to slide your finger to set up for the next chord. helps a lot. you are extremely good at explaining all aspects of the songs. thanks a million!
