I swear playing G's is going to be the reason why I never properly learn ukulele Edit: Wow, I've made so much progress. This was only a month ago but now I'm playing much harder notes and songs on the ukulele. Thanks for all of the help even though I already learned how to play G probably a few hours later or at most a day.
i really love playing G’s but i have to place my fingers in different positions for every cord because it hurts my hand because i have bad carpel tunnel
I can’t rlly sing well but I can sing like an average person or a little worse without uke, and I can sing the same with it if I practice a lot I’ve always been good at multitasking. I think. Sry I’m kind of dead rn and I can’t think
I haven't played for 40 years but I bought my granddaughter and myself ukuleles yesterday. I couldn't even hold a g yesterday and today it already feels natural. This seems easy enough to learn. I'll just need singing lessons.
I remember first learning this and dying because it was so hard to sing and play at the same time, and the G note was so hard to switch to. But now that I have been playing for over a year now, IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE AND I MAKE MY OWN LITTLE TWEAKS IN THE SONG TOO. SO AS LONG AS YOU PRACTICE KIDS, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PLAY THE SONG WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED!
@@sarsharky KANEKENEKE NOOOOO, i meant i've been playing ukulele for over a year now (now for almost 3 years) in general haha, I would say it took like a few hours straight to learn how to sing and play at the same time
I got a uke yesterday for my birthday. I thought I was never going to be able to play it. I was struggling to get anything right. This came up in my recommended from watching your videos all the time and I decided to give it a try. Thanks to you I’ve learned my first song and I feel so proud of myself. Thanks for everything you do you’re amazing💞 Edit: I showed my friends a video of me playing it and they all said I was amazing surprisingly
ughhhh I can't sing and play its so difficult! I don't even think about my strumming pattern anymore, but as soon as I start sing my strumming pattern gets all weird!
1. Muscle memory will make things a lot easier over time. Practice. 2. The skin on your fingertips will get thicker, making them a lot more sustainable and also allowing you to press the strings more easily without your fingertips hurting.
My Ukulele arrives in some days so... you gained a new subscriber 😊 Hope to learn more from you soon. By the way if you want some great online ukulele lessons go here now: MootPlay.xyz
I play the guitar but what helped me is trying to press the string with the bone of your finger not the pad. So that your fingers arent flat on the neck, make them like a birds claw.
Please ignore im gonna write this for myself cuz im so confused and she speak so fast AM: Down Down Up Down Up G: Down Down Up Down up C: Down Down Up Down up Down Down Up Down up
Wait lemme finish it for you Bridge: Am: Down Down Up - Up Down Up Down Down Up - Up Down Up G: Down Down Up - Up Down Up Down Down Up - Up Down Up C: Down Down Up - Up Down Up Down Down Up - Up Down Up F: Down Down Up - Up Down Up
Beginner here struggling to learn the chords then she starts singing and I think I fell in love a little - amazing how such a beautiful voice can touch someone's hearts so easily.
Ryan Clifford dude I got my uke last week too and I barley know anything. I know strumming and cords and all that but no songs and I’ve tried to find time everyday to practice.
I've bought mine yesterday! Already know the four basic chords g c am fm. Cant play along with Elise yet but just having fun struming and changing notes. Ill try this one tonight! Seems fun!
It's the morning of the 26th. I starting learning ukulele on the night of the 24th. I don't play any other instruments. I can sing & play this, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RECORDING. Thanks you so much!!!!! xx
Omg are you kidding me right now, I got my uke yesterday..never touched a uke in my life so I was happy so I started playing riptide trying to learn it and everything , so I tried a follow along and I doing well i did the DD UDU pattern and now I got used to that but now I relised it sounds good just strumming it normally ahhhh wait does that Mean I'm one step ahead yay
Just bought my first uke yesterday... A little Flight Traveler. I punched in uke tutorial and clicked on the first one and landed here. I honestly didn't expect to learn a song on the first try. Your clear and concise explanations make learning so much fun! I find learning the lyrics to this song harder than the playing!!! Thanks so much!!!
I was scared of dentists and the dark I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations Oh, all my friends are turning green You're the magician's assistant in their dream Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-ah-ah And they come unstuck Lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong There's this movie that I think you'll like This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City This cowboy's running from himself And she's been living on the highest shelf Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-oh And they come unstuck Lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong I just wanna, I just wanna know If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay I just gotta, I just gotta know I can't have it, I can't have it any other way I swear she's destined for the screen Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh Lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong Oh lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong Oh lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong Yeah, I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Me: oh riptide is a beginner friendly song oh cool Also me: hell nah hell to the nah any uke song with a g note is to be classified as opttitc aka only possible to those inside the cult
I've noticed (bc i just got my uke) that if you tilt your hand away from you still holding the notes you'll have a better chance of a good sound. Now F on the other hand (heh- pun) I cant play at all. :.·]
Any instrument can be in the hands of a virtuoso. Bass guitar can be stupid simple, but then you give it to Victor Wooten and you know it can be way beyond simple
For the people who can’t play the G cord or switch to it: What I did is watch my self put my fingers on the G cord take it off put my fingers on the C cord and tried to switch from those to then I did Am it G and so on then Fm to G and so on I just tried switching back-and-forth watching myself then slowly trying not to watch myself Hope this helped
I had the same problem too I tried to switch back and forth between G and C chords slowly, lifting a finger at a time and switching between different fingers at a particular position so that I'm comfortable switching them faster I also tried using metronome. Now I've gotten pretty much better. Hope this was helpful
•Glassy_Sun • put ur middle finger on the string for Am and just kinda slide it over. When switching put ur index finger down first on the A string, then ur middle finger on the middle C, then ur ring finger on the E
@@kaylebjewett4469 I feel as though I'm a bit dyslexic or just too noob because when I do that, my fingers go all over the place and my ring finger ends up next to my middle on the 3rd chord LOL
Dont worry, every begginer is ALWAYS having a hard time on the G chord, also me whe I was a begginer lmao Practice makes PERFECT, I believ that you can master the chord👌💕💕😊

Periwinkle Arts! Up early for the next few weeks of school tomorrow and I'm still not sure what I was a great way of the day before I get a follow back on my phone and I don't think that the company said in a while to load get it to the gym today is a very long time to be the best way for me!
+Elise Ecklund Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for easy ukulele songs for beginners free try Pycanta Amazing Ukulele Protocol (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.
I got my ukelele on christmas and all the other tutorials ive seen are going to fast or not helpful buy yours are and I'm still working on it but I'm getting better thank you so much and your voice is amazing!
Thank you so much, that is a brilliant tutorial. My granddaughters have wanted me to learn how to play this song for a while now so they can sing along. You’ve made it possible 😊🤞
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! i just got my ukulele Monday and i was looking for a tutorial that was easy for riptide and you’re my favorite ukulele player to learn from!! Thank you i can’t wait to play it!!🙏🏻❤️
you will get it! i also had a problem qith it at the beggining but now i have no problem THE ONLY PROBLEM IS STRUMMING ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN while playing ITS THE WORST I DONT GET IT
A really good friend of mine used to play this song. She loved the uke. She passed away, so I decided to learn how to play it in her honor. When I searched for tutorials on RU-vid, this was the first thing that popped up. Now I can play it and feel like she's close. Thank you for this.
* Me geting a ukulele for cristmas * * Bringing it to my uncles house to celebrate cristmas * * Me not knowing anything and trying to learn something in a peaceful corner * Everybody: *pLaY sOmEtHinG pLeASe*
Getting my first Ukulele tomorrow, can't wait finally gave in and ignored my social anxiety. It's such a happy lovely instrument can't wait to bring joy to me and others with it and I'll be watching all you videos to learn.
Elise I couldn’t thank you enough but thank you so much I requested this tutorial on your livestream and now it’s real , you are my biggest inspiration as I just started playing ukulele and have been learning all of your tutorials so far , thank you once again , I love you and your voice is amazing ❤️❤️
I don't know why but G for my ukelele sounds nothing like yours. I made sure it was in tune and it was, I tried pressing harder on the strings it didn't work I tried lightly pressing them it didn't work either. Maybe it's just because I have plastic strings I think? PLease help!
You could try moving your fingers closer to the line (the metal like part of the ukulele, where fret is divided) of the fret. Maybe your fingers are a bit far thats why you cant hear it.
This song was the favorite song of my best friend ever that I loved for everything but he had cancer and died after 2 months now everyday I’m singing this song on ukulele for him I hope he’s hearing me and is doing okay in heaven.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I just got a ukulele for christmas and this is the first song I learned!!! I’m going to keep watching your videos to learn new songs!!!
each string is supposed to be a note. it goes G C E A and then use an app on ur phone to where it says it’s at the right spot. i was confused to but this really helped
Its actually pretty easy, as long as you take it slow, and then practice a bit more. You'll come about it in no time. The important part is that you keep on trying. I know its pretty hard on your first try. Because your muscle in your hands are new to it, so your brain is a bit confused. But when you practice it, your hands and your brain will cooperate.
Yeah this would be so fun to play if I had four strings on my ukulele lol Edit*im getting a new ukulele and im going to play this for my first song on my new ukulele
Thank you!! I was now finally able to play it while singing too! You're one of the first I patiently watch while beginning to learn play our new ukulele. Hoping more songs to learn from your videos. ❤ From Philippines 🇵🇭
got my uke last night and I can play the intro, slowly, yes, but I can! And that’s a start. G’s hit my fingers pretty hard. Cyu guys when i master this song.
You're an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for teaching us this great song. I read the comments, I'm a beginner and I'm finding it quite hard to transition to chord G too! I'm hoping with more and more practice it'll become easier and smooth *fingers crossed*
I'm learning guitar and got curious about ukulele. And dude, it's seems so easy. If you play guitar, you use the same shape of the G chord to do the D chord, and it's a pretty easy one. For those who think it's hard, it's just practice. You all will get it!
This was a good supplement for another video I was watching for strumming patterns. It's a simple song that helped a lot with building technique. If you're struggling trying to play a g chord, don't stress it. Just keep going between the two chords, and eventually it will be second nature. I promise you it will be second nature over time. She didn't become a musician by picking up the instrument without practice. My advice is to make sure you are driving yourself and family nuts to learn this song. If you haven't then You're just playing it wrong!
You made this make so much sense. I've watched multiple tutorials and couldn't get it. Showing the progression visually while playing it was exactly what i needed! Thank you so much!!
*Who’s here December 2019?!* XD The videos she used to post (like this one) are so different from those she posts now, *she had more brain cells back then*
I was feeling really sad today so I just decided to pick up a uke which I’ve never played in my life and then follow this video till I had it perfect. Thank you so much ❤
